Of the Mistake Somebody Made
as to Orders on The Grand
Trunk Railway.
TWENTY-EIGHT LIVES WAS TOLL
Death Collected for Misunderstood
ing of Orders, or Something.
Express Train Making Up Lost Time
Crashes into a Train That Was
Trying to Sidetrack-Near-
Forty Wounded.

London, Ont, Dec. 20-The most
frightful railroadaccident in theannals
of the past decade happened short dis
lance from the little station of Wan
stead on the Sarnia branch of the
Grand Trunk railway Friday night
The trains Ill collision We're the Pa
cific express and a freight The ex-
press was running nearly two hours
late, and was making fast time. The
freight was endeavOring to make a
siding to get clear of the express, but
failed by a minute Or two. There
was a dreadful crash the locomotives
reared up and fell over in ditch, the
baggage car Of the express telescoped
and in an instant the shrieks and cries
of the wounded and the dying filed
the air.
Twenty Eight Is the Death Roll.
The loss Of life is twenty-eight The
injured will number considerably
more, and some Of these may die.
Many of the dead were terribly mutt
lated. Heads were cut off, legs
wrenched from the bodies, and the
level stretch of snow became crimson
with the blood of the victims. The
responsibility for the accident has not
been fixed. but it is believed to
2 have been due to a telegraph operators
error. The operator at one of the sta
lions where the two trains stopped
gave an order to the freight to pass
No. 5, the Pacific express, at Wan
stead
Regulations Were Disobeyed.
In the system of the Grand Trunk
this order should have been duplicated,
copy being given to the conductor
and engineer of the express. Instead
of this the conductor of the express
received clearance order, telling him
to run right through. The freight train
meantime had stopped at Wanstead to
sidetrack, and was telescoped by the
express. The binding storm which
was raging rendered objects invisible
at the distance of a few feet.
just Moment Too Late.
The operator at Wanstead is not u.s.
ually on duty at night, but Friday
evening he happened to be in the Of
flee for a short time. He was going
out at the door when he heard the
telegraph instrument click and imme-
diately call repeatedly the message:
"Stop No. s." ''stop No. 81 Selling
lantern the operator dashed for the
door, and as he closed it behind him
he heard the crash of the collision up
the track.

AMUSEM ENTS.

"A Millionaire Tramp" which has be- come a great favorite with theatre go- CTS, will be seen at the Doris theatre, for two holiday performances, New Years day, matinee and evening.
 This play is intensely dramatic in action, and while not overstrained. there are climaXes which keep the in terest of the spectators wrought up to the highest point. Many of the pass c ges are very pathetic, and there are scenes in which the element of humor predominates. The plot is well defined, md as the story ends happily, there are no regrets. The scenic features are well cared for: the church scene being especially fine. All of the sets, in fact. are equipped with bright new scenery. The company is far above the average and a finished production may be look ed for. Regular theatre prices, evening $1, 75c, soc and 25c; matinee adults soc. children 25c. Reserved seats at Good mans

DETERMINED TO DIE
Jap Took Strychnine and Had Car
 bolic Acid Handy.

A Japanese by the name of "Kabuka- wa," man about thirty-five years old, committed suicide yesterday after noon in his room or Monroe street be- tween Center and First streets. He had attired himself in his best clothes and lain down on a wire cot in the room and swallowed 8 large quantity of strychnine from bottle that stood near by when he was found and which kill a dozen men, Afterward a full bottle of carbolic acid was found in a coat pocket and it was his evident in tention to use that drug in the event the other failed him.
 Kabukawa was suffering from con sumption and he had frequently re- marked to a couple of Japanese who roomed with him that he was without funds ar hope of recovery and wanted to kill, himself They tried to encour- age him and really did not take h S conversation$ n$eriously Yesterday about three o'clock they left the house and left him sitting at the table as usual. When they returned at } o'clock they found the door locked from the inside but gaining an Entrance they saw their friend attired in his best and dead. There was a bed in the room but he lay on the cot as though it had been his purpose not to wrinkle his good Aclothes with the bedding.
 The JaDs at once notified the police, stating their suspicious as to the man

ner of deash for they said he "all time want to dead himself" Coroner Bur- nett was summoned and an investiga- ton made, but the evidence was con- vincing at first sight and the verdict of the jury was death by strychnine self administered.
 On the table near by were two let ters, written in Japanese, and unsealed. One was to his father in Japan. The letters were read by his countrymen who said the purport of them was that he was out of money, beyond hope Of recovery and intended killing himself. The body was taken to the parlors of F,asterling & Whitney.

DEAN CASE DISMISSED
He Will in Some Way Make Good the
 Check he Destroyed.

The case of Ed. L. Dean. charged with grand larceny, was set for pre- liminary trial before Justice Burnett yesterday But when the case was called it was learned that the matter had been adjusted and there being mo- body to prosecute, the case was dis missed.
 It will be remembered that Dean, who had been playing faro on the day before Christmas, gave a check for $150 in payment of a gambling debt. It was presented at the bank on Saturday and payment was refused. When the holder of the check went to see Dean about it he at first proposed a compro- mise. and when one had been agreed uCon for half the face of the check, and Dean having been given possession of the document, tore it into small pieces and refused to pay anything.
 He was arrested and his bond was fixed at $500. He could have furnished a cash bond, but he went to jail and remained there until yesterday. It was said at the time of the arrest that Dean had played in luck since his ar rival in town and that he had altogeth- CT about $1200. He denied that and said that when he came to Phoenix a few weeks ago he had S700; that he had lost all of it but $40. and he determined at the time of the last losing when he gave the check that he would never pay it. He said that he did not expect to live long and he had made up his mind that his wife should have that money to en- able her to go home. He said that when he made the last play he was desperate and that he played almost constantly for two days and night. But those who have kept tab on Deans playing say that he is ahead of the game.

Negroes Open Revolver Fire Upon
Others on Prominent Resident
Street Saturday Night.
Dick saulsbary Shoots Charles Black in the
Breast---Saulsbary is Slightly Wounded
Three Men Jailed to Await Trial

Three negroes got into n wrangle on
a prominent resident thoroughfare of
the city Saturday night, which resulted
in a pistol duel One of the men open
ed fire upon the other two, and the other
two began firing their revolvers. A reg
uiar fusilade of bullets followed. All
three men are in jail, one with gaping
bullet hole in his breast, one with two
or three bullet scratches and the other
one unhurt.
The ARRAY occurred on Pike street
opposite the Gof NJ. E. church at point
about half way from the church to the
bridge which crosses Elk creek. It was
just before the midnight hour. Alonzo
aicCloud, who is employed at the Blue
Front saloon, was a witness of the scrape
and We give his version of the shooting.
McCloud was on his way home. He
quit work Mt his place of employment
about IL o'clock, and was on his way
dowR Pike street when he met Dick Sauls-
barry, Frank Thomas and Charles, coll
orea fellows. There was another col
ored fellow who he did not know. As
he passed the fellows they were along in
front of Rev. Peters house, quarrelling.
McCloud advised the men to quit their
guarreling and go on home. Dick SAILS
barry called out to him and asked him TO
stop. He recognized Dick and turaed
and waited for him. The other fellows,
it seems, followed McCloud and the
Saulsbary fellow on down the street to-
wards the old Osborne machine shops.
| There the other two men and Dick got
to exchanging ugly words again. It APP
pears that Saulsbary pulled out revolv-
err and began firing at Charley Black.
| The first shot struck Black IN the breast.
Black staggered and the force of the
bullet oyerbalanced him and he fell out
in the street nearly touching the rail of
| the street railroad track The shot set
fire to Blacks shirt. He smothered it
out with his hands. Then, 1t seems, Dick
| shot at Black again, but missed.
Black then raised up md, pulling
a revolver from his hip PHsset, started
to empty its contents IN sadisbary's di-
rection. Frank Thomas also pulled q
gun and began firing at ,Saulsbary. Five
shots were fred by the two men. They
all ran back into the alley next to the
old machine shop 1uilaing and began
scruffing and wrestling, when McCioud
ran up to them ana parted them. They
separated then and went ON down the
street. McCioud turned around and went
up and told the police about the fair,
and IN q short time Policemen White and
shackelford had saulsbary under ar

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out Of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
Of food. but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
md gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause Of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems 60 find
It aad set the matter right.
