Burns told with considerable detail
his story of the affair That he was at
Dionne's house in the dining room in
the evening Of March "A, having in his
pocket some $115 in money; that he had
been drinking Whiskey during the
afternoon and up to near half past sew

drinks of whiskey: that at about 7.30.

throat and from another pocket took q

his wife. He says he had in his packets
some $40. Mr.. Burns says that he

in his pockets and that she counted the
money in his pockets, and that she
counted the money he had with him
that day. Burns also testified to hav-
ing ascertained that he had his money
when in Wedges room at the hotel Just
before the alleged larceny, and there is
evidence that he had considerable
money after that.
The defendants deny, not only that
they stole Burns money but deny that
there is any sufficient evidence that he
had any such sum. Now, gentlemen,
the amount of money is not the essen

A north-bound Missouri Pacific stock
train crashed into the rear end of a work
train just north of this town last evening,
and eleven men were killed and twenty-five
injured. Ten of the latter are seriously
and four probably fatally hurt. They were
Greeks and Italians, excepting one, Peter
Fry, an American. who has lived here sew
eral years, and was a boss on the work
train. The cause of the wreck is given as
misreading of orders.
The work train consisted of fiat cars and
q caboose, all filed with laborers. The
men on the fiat cars escaped by jumping,
but hardly a man in the caboose escaped
The work train was backing into town
for the night, and running at goodspeed
The heavy freight engine did not leave the
track, but plowed the work train Off the
track leaving little Of it except car wheels
and kindling wood.

GIRL HORRIBLY BURNED
HOSPITAL PHYSICIANS REPORT
THAT RECOVERY IS DOUBTFUL.
The Unfortunate Young Woman, With
Clothing Afame, Rushes Into
the Street.

Miss Clara Burns, sixteen years of age,
who resides at 914 New York avenue north
west, was seriously burned at her home
about l o'clock today, and was removed
to the Emergency Hospital, where the ply
sicians reported this afternoon that her
recovery was doubtful. Almost her en-
tire body was burned with the exception of
her head and shoulders and she was in an
unconscious condition on arriving at the
hospital.
Miss Burns resides with her mother, who
conducts a dressmaking establishment at
the place where the unfortunate accident
occurred, and the young lady was alone in
the kitchen at the time heating several
irons over small gas stove on the floor.
Although no one saw the accident it is
supposed that she turned from the stove
and in so doing her skirt was ignited by
hallway and into the street, followed by
her mother and Mrs. Bessie Schneidman, a
sister. The latter, on ascertaining the
cause of the trouble, hurrfedly returned to
the house, seized several coats from the
hatrack in the hallway and returned to the
sidewalk, where her mother was rolling
her sister on the ground in an endeavor to
extinguish the flames. The coats were
wrapped around her and the blaze was
extinguished, but not before Miss Burns
had been badly burned almost over her
entire body. Mounted Policeman Adams,
who was in the vicinity, sent in a hurry
call for the ambulance attached to the
Emergency Hospital, and the unfortunate
the institution, where Drs. Perkins and
eastman applied soothing lotions to lessen
the pain.

RETURN OF COL. MILLS.
Went to Denver to Investigate the
Baldwin Interview.

Col. Stephen c. Mills of the inspector
generals department has returned to this
city from an official visit to Denver, Col,
where he was sent by the Secretary Of
War to investigate the case of Brigadier
General Frank D. Baldwin. commanding
the Department of Colorado, who is alleged
to have made improper comments on negro
and Filipino soldiers in a recent news
paper interview. Gen. Baldwin was rep
resented as having said that negro and
Filipino soldiers were usually assigned to
the most dangerous places for the reason
that 1t didn't make any difference whether
they were killed or not. He has made a
report to the War Department to the eff
feet that his remarks were misunderstood
by the interviewer, and that he does not
entertain the sentiments attibuted to him
with respect to negroes and F1lipinos as
soldiers.
The newspaper man who published the
story has stated that the interview was
accurate and that Gen. Baldwin did say
what he was represented to have said
Secretary Root has declined to make pub
lie Gen. Baldwfns statement until after he
has received the report of Col. Mills on the
subject. That report will probably be SUBJ
mitted to Secretary Root on his return
from New York tomorrow.
