Great western railroad, n person
was killed and thirty others injured
OF these injured several may not re.
cover.
The Des Moines and st. Paul train,
ruaAiag at a high rate of speed. struck
G broken rail just as it was about to
cross a bridge. The speed of the train
carried 1t across the bridge on the
ties, then the entire train pitched
down a twenty-toot e~mbankment, the
cars turned on their sides and were
jlmbled together in a hopeless wreck.
The engineer was so badly injured
that he died in a short time.
The men who were not injured in
the wreck succeeded in pulling the
other passengers through the windows
of the cars. AS soon as all we're taken
from the debris they were carried to a
~Reighboring farmhouse, where they
were cared for until n of the party
walked to Waseo and telegraphed to
Sycamore for help. Assistance ar
rived in . couple Of hours and the in
tured passengers were brought to the
hospital here.
The dead engineer is j. d, Heady OF
Minneapolis.
The most seriously injured are:

Considering the nature of the wreck
and the fall of twenty feet it is a won

are crowded with the injured. Many
escaped with broken fingers and

merely from the nervous shock.

In Its Eraanet.
Chicago, Jan. 20.-Forty indictments
have been voted by the special grand
jury, which during the last week has
been investigating the causes for the
shortage of coal In Chicago.
No names we're given out, ii being
declared by States. Attorney Deneen
that inasmuch as the indictments had
been merely voted and not returned,
no list or the accused men would be
announced until to-day, when the Jury
will reconvene. 1t is said that the men
against whom II is the intention. to re-
turn indictments are many who stand
high in the business and social world.
This fact was given by the states at
torney as of the reasons why the
names OF the accused men were not
given out Saturday night. In analyz-
ing the evidence to which II has been
listening for a week, the jurors be.
lieyed they had found
A Combination Existing
between the operators, the jobbers
and wholesalers and the retailers,
covering the course of the coal supply
from the mine to the consumer. They
also found the understandings exist
ing between the operators of the vari-
Gus states. the Illinois Coal Operators
association and the Northern Illinois
Soft Coal association being in collus-
ion with the Indiana Ccal Operators
association in an attempt to govern
the whole bituminous supply of the
two states.
What application the conspiracy act
could have to the local dealers and OPP
orators in the face of the fact that the
combination is general was the hard
question for the Jurors, but the at
torneys explained that as soo az the
coal was brought into Illinois the pos

In the report which the special
grand jury is to make Monday it is as
serted that the federal grcnd jury is
urged to investigate more thoroughly
the actions of the coal men. In addi-
tion to being guilty of conspiracy, it is
said the coal men have also grievously
violated the antitrust laws and the
interstate commerce laws. w.

Tremendously Rich Strike Has Been
made In Alaska.
Seattle, Wash, Jan. 20-A special to
the Times from Dawson says.
A tremendously rich strike, the
magnitude of which has never been
equaIed since Bob Henderson told OF
his wonderful find of the Klondike,
has been made eighteen miles north
o. q point on Tanana river. 800 miles
from its source. The district is Amer
lean territory. Circle has been depop-
ulated and a wild stampede of pros
pectors from all the surrounding coun-
try is In progress. AS yet few have
reached the discovery.
The holes that proved the wealth of
ths country were sunk late last van
ter, and the first man to reach Daw-
son from the new country has just ar
rived. He is a Japanese named j..
Wada, we'll known In Dawson, where
his yeracity and honesty r well
known. So far the reports have not
been spread to any extent in Dawson,
but the little that has been told has
created an excitement that
Surely Means a Stampede.
The gist OF Wada's report is that the
district resembles the Klondike in its
physical formation, but has a heavier
growth Of timber. Gold in widely diff
ferent kinds had been found in eight
different creeks when Wada left for
Dawson on Dec. %.
The original strike was made on
Pedro, a creek running parallel with
TanaRa, about eighteen miles from the
river. This creek Is staked for miles.
Dan Mccarthy, q we'll known Dawson
lite, made the discovery on Cold
Stream, a continuation OF Pedro,
which has proved to be the richest SO
far found.
Pedro district creek has not as yet
eqvaled Cold Stream. Not much has
yet been found here, but its wealth is
better indicated in the statement that
