Elk EXCURSION TRAIN WRECK.
ED NEAR CHEHALIS.
Two Killed and More Than Forty
Injured, Several of Whom, the
Physicians State. Can Not Re.
cover "A ccident Occurred While
Going Down Grade.

Chehalis, Aug 24.-Two dead and
more than forty injured is the result
of the wreck of the Northern Pacific cx-
cursion train hearing 500 Elks from
Portland to the clam bake at Olympia.
The accident took place mile and a
half west of Chehalis at 1885 a. m,
and is claimed to have heen the result
of the explosion of the engine boiler.
The dead are Charles Farmaline, fruit
dealer and confectioner, at 252 Yamhill
street, Portland, and Frank Gales, a
tramp.
Several others are 80 seriously injur-
ed that the physicians cannot state pos
itively whether they will live or not.
There were seven coaches on the
train, which was being pulled by en-
CINE No. 237, one of the oldest pa ssen-
ger engines of the Northern Pacific.
1t has been on the Portland.Seattler run
for several years. Engineer Robert W.
Green, OF Portland, and Leo Doskey,
fireman, were in the cab of the engine
at the time. Frank Gales, the tramp
killed in the wreck. was passing coal
Green has been in the employ of the
Northern Pacific for nearly two years.
On a Down Grade.
After passing Newaukum, where the
train slowed up, the down grade was
struck leading into Chehalis. At a
point near the Newaukud river, when
the train, according to the statement of
the engineer, was running about forty
miles an hour, the passengers heard a
sharp report from ahead and then a
rumbling of wheels that told them that
the cars had left the track. About 200
feet from where the explosion occurred
the train came to sudden stop, piling
the forward cars upon the engine.
The track was torn up by the explosion
VIII oh almost completely demolished
the engine. Escaping steam and brok-
en- timbers from the cab forced their
way into the first coach, in which the
passengers, among whom were many
women, were terribly frightened and
scramblIng wildly for the doors.
Only one car remained on the track.
The first three went over the bank and
the fourth is still standing on the side
OF the hill. The others. with the ex-
ception of the last, left the rails. The
engine and two forward cars were
smashed into an unacceptable mass
of wreckage.
The Work of Rescue.
The cries of the passengers caught
under the wreckage were pitiful, and
the passengers who escaped injury did
everything in their power to rescue the
less fortunate ones. Directors Littlefield
and Cornelius, of Portland, were aboard
the train, and though both were injured
slightly and the latter was for a time
unconscious. they took charge Of the
rescue work and made energetic efforts
to help the injured. Mr.. Farmaline
was in the front car and was proba bly,
killed instantly.
The people of Chehalis co-operated
with the physicians in the effort to
save the lives of the victims. Tenn
porary hospitals we're arranged and
bedding and other furnishings supplied
in large quantities.

Be manly, boys. A frank, straight
forward manner always gains friends.
If you have committed fault. step
forward and confess it. Concealed
faults are always found out sooner or

wards may cause blush Of shame to
come to your face.
Be courteous. boys. 1t Is just as

Be prompt, boys. Ii is far better to

realize that time is valuable. Five
minutes every morning amount to half
an hour ut the end of the week. Many
things can be done in half an hour.
Besides, disastrous results often follow
lack Of punctuality.
BE thorough, boys. Black the heels

be sure that both shine. Pull out tho

Don't break them and leave them to

Have you good opportunity to be

truest revenge Is to refuse revenge.
Economy Is the good genius whose

Perhaps the reason we are so prone
to find fault with our neighbors is that
1t helps us to forget our shortcomings.
A great deal Of knowledge, which Is
not capable Of making man wise,

1t Is not only in finished undertak-

WORK OF A SCOUNDREL.
About $500 Damage Done in Millions
Granite Sheds-Strong Suspicion.

One of the most outrageous pieces of
vandalism ever perpetratcd i'm this
city, was discovered, Monday morning.
when John Milton entered his granite
sheds on the Causeway and looked
over his stock of finished monuments
and headstones. During Sunday night
some person or persons forced an en-
trance to the shed by breaking two
squares of the window glass and when
inside started their work of destruction
and with a stone hammer ruined sew
eral pieces of the granite work. The
stones were shattered, corners knocked
off. the fancy carved work mutilated
and in all some $500 worth of damage
done. The desk in the office was ram
sacked, the contents of the drawers
strewed about the floor and general
everturning was evident. Mr.. Milton
considers the work that of spite and
he has suspicion of who worked the
ruin. 1t is thought that the perpetra-
tor will be brought to justice and it is
also hoped, by those who are justly in
dignant over the matter. that they, or
he, will be given the full extent Of the
law.
