tween a special passenger train on the

ball team, substitute players and man
ayers.
Three players. the assistant coach.
trainer and seven substitute players OF
the university were killed and every
one of the fifty-three other persons
in the car were either fatally or seri-
ously injured.
Rounding a curve at the Eighteenth

found directly in front of him the
freight engine and coal cars moving
slowly from a switch leading to grav-
ell pit. He reversed his engine and
jumped
The crash hurled the passenger en-
CINE and three front coaches against
the steel freight cars loaded with coal,
that plowed their way through and
buried under a pile of wreckage weigh
ing many tons fully sixty human be-
ings.

ers. was completely demolished, the
roof being torn away and falling across
a car of coal. while the body OF the car
was reduced to kindling woord against

BUTTE MEDIATORS
FAIL COMPLETELY

Butte, Mont. Nov. 1.-The commit

and Clark, acting at the request of the
chamber of commerce of Great Falls.
and with the consent OF the representa-
tives of the United Copper Company
and the Amalgamated Copper Com
pany. after session lasting two days.
came to a conclusion yesterday that 1t
could not find any solution of the Butte
shutdown situation.
The statement issued and sigzed by
the members of the committee says:
I'VE. the undersigned members OF
the mediation committee. entered upon
the discharge of our duties realizing
the magnitude and difficulty Of our
task. Nevertheless. we have labored
assidiously to accomplish the purpose
OF our appointment
I'VE have failed to obtain stipula-
ton from the parties litigant which
will insure a resumption of work by
the Amalgamated Copper Company.
and have been unable to devise any
plan looking to that end which did not
involve the mutual consent of the par
ties interested.
I'VE regret this exceedingly and hope
some common ground may yet be
found by the parties themselves upon
which they can stand.'
There is great disappointment at the
failure of the committee to come to
some agreement with the parties in In
terest 1t is hoped Governor Toole will
call an extraordinary session of the
legislature to relieve the situation.
Meanwhile, miners continue to leave
town in groups of ten to twenty, and

oakes Home 4. Taxable.

Judge Johnson OF the District Court
at Denver has decided that the Oakes
Home for Consumptives in Denver is
not a charitable institution under the
intent of the law and is therefore not
entitled to exemption from taxation
The suit was brought by the bishop
and chapel of the Cathedral OF st.
John, a corporation. against the treas
urer of Arapahoe county to prevent
the latter from selling the Oakes Home
for delinquent taxes. The amount al
legged to be due under the decision Is
S4,94395. the total on a valuation OF
$S3, 400 in 1901 and $66,720 in 1902. 1t
is understood that an appeal Will be
made from the decision.
In the decision. Judge Johnson goes
to great length in his description OF
the expensive and luxurious interior
decoration of the home, such as
plentiful supply of tiled bathrooms and
lavatories, a well stocked library. and
various up-to-date little comforts for
those who pay $45 q month for room
and board or 81 per day.
The valuation of the grounds and
buildings is estimated at $1SO,OOO; the
maintenance of the home and profits
come from the patrons. The officers
and servants make payroll of $l7,0OO
a year, and Judge Johnson thinks that
to include the home in the list with
charitable institutions would be un-
constitutional.

Under the law establishing Arapa-

that all county officials should be ap-
pointed by the governor to hold until
the next general election. November

the Republicans claimed, and that is
when they wanted to fill these posi-
lions.
The Democrats insisted that these
appointees were to hold over until the
next general election, at which these
offices should be filed, which, they
claim, is next year. After the county
clerk refused to accept the nomina-
lions made by the Republicans, they
took the matter to the District Court
and asked for mandamus compelling
him to prepare for an election and to
accept the nominations. The district
Judge dismissed the proceedings, and
