FIVE CARS DITCHED.
FREIGHT TRAIN ON ROCK ISLAND
is WRECKED JUST EAST OF
BUNCH.
Five Box Cars Loaded With Wheat
are Badly Damaged and the Grain
is Almost a Total Loss-Wreck
Caused by Broken Wheel.

Bunch, Sept 2.-(Special) Five
cars of wheat were ditched and con-
siderable money loss resulted when
an east bound Rock Island freight
train was wrecked about one and
one-half miles east of Bunch shortly
after O'Clock yesterday afternoon
by reason of the breaking of wheel
on one of the cars. No one was in
jured as the cars which were wrecked
We're toward the front of the train and
fortunately no one was riding on them
at the time of the accident.
A Coincidence.
1t is an odd fact that the wreck of
this train yesterday was almost ex-
actly in the same spot where train
was wrecked last spring from about
the same cause. No one was injured
in either wreck but railroad men will
probably watch their trains carefully
at this place in the future in order
to prevent the fatal third wreck
there

Cars Badly Damaged.

The five cars of wheat were wreck
ed SO that scarcely any of the grain
was saved, and the cars themselves
were rendered almost valueless. The
road was blocked for some time but
wrecking crew from Eldon cleared
away the debris before traffic became
congested.

TO FIGHT A TRUST
INDEPENDENT PACKING CO. is
ORGANIZED AT KANSAS CITY
YESTERDAY.
The New Concern is Made UP of
Stockmen From Different Parts of
the Western Grazing Country-Mea-
sures to Beat Trust Down.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 2.-Twenty-
five stockmen from different parts OF
the western grass country met In
this city yesterday and arranged to
perfect the organization Of packing
company to compete with the alleged
packers trust. The new company
was named the Independent Packing
company Articles of incorporation
will be drawn up today and signed at
a meeting to be held this afternoon.
The company VIII have capital
stock of S5,0O0,000, and will be incor-
porated under the laws of Arizona.
OF the total capitalization 81 per cent
will be so disposed of as to be held in
escrow by the board of directors of
the company. This will insure stock
men who interest themselves in the
plan that the company will always
be controlled by stock interests. The
rest of the stock will be sold to stock
men if possible although no purchaser
will be barred.
For Self Protection.
The division of the stock as decided
upon was made to prevent any posi-
bility of the alleged packers trust
gaining control of the new Independent
company. Two million of the stock
will be issued at first, the rest will be
put out later. Formerly it was part
of the plan to include the United
States Packing company OF Pueblo,
Colo, in the scheme. Now it is pre-
dicted on good authority that the
Pueblo plant will never be built, but
that it's capitalization of more than
81 100000 will be offered to the indie
pendent Packing company, or will be
allowed to revert back to the stock
men who subscribed it. Charles F..
Martin, secretary of the National Live
Stock association, who was one of the
promoters of the United States Pack
ing company and stakeholder, is in
Kansas City promoting the organiza-
ton of the Independent Packing com
pany.
The Independent Packing company
will build one plant in the Missouri
valley, but the exact location has not
yet been decided upon. 1t is to be in
operation in the fall of the next year.
Another plant will be built later, prob
ably in Texas.
