PASSENGERS GO DOWN TO DEATH
Broken Rail Throws Train Down an
Embankment.

Holden, Mo-, Dec. 4.-Missouri Pa
cific passenger train No. 1, westbound,
from st. Louis to Kansas City, due
here at o'clock Saturday, was wreck
ed at the water works bridge, two
miles east of here, resulting in the
injury of 45 passengers, 10 of whom
are seriously injured. The accident
was caused by broken rail which pro-
jected from the track, catching the
first coach behind the mail car, throw
ing 1t from the track down 30 foot
embankment and causing two other
coaches, Pullman and the diner to
follow it.
The broken rail was on the bridge,
and the rear Pullman rolled off the
bridge into the creek below, and the
passengers inside were all seriously
injured.
Supposition has it that orders were
given the train crew at Center View
to slow up at the water works bridge
on account Of broken rail there. It
seems that the train was behind the
schedule time and this order was not
needed

Keep DardanelIes Closed.

In an editorial article discussing the
question of the Black sea feet the
London Daily Telegraph declares that
it is impossible that Great Britain
should consent to a modification of
the treaty which would permit of the
exit of the Black sea fleet But if at
the conclusion of the war Russian is
willing it is probable Great Britain
would consent to a modification of the
treaty which would open the Darda-
nelles to all powers alike.

TRAVERSE OCEAN UNDER WATER
New Submarine Boat Planned by Mr..
Simon Lake.


Simon Lake.
A keel has been laid at the ship
yards in Newport News for a new
and larger lake submarine boat, In
which the inventor, Simon Lake, ex
poets to make a trip across the. At
lantic under her own power, in an eff
fort to demonstrate her seaworthi
ness. The new vessel will be SO feet
long and proportionately larger in
every way. She will carry four tor
pedo tubes, 10 torpedoes, and without
assistance will have a cruising radius
of 1000 miles.
This will be the first submarine
boat of any class to attempt to cross
the ocean," said Lake There is no
reason, however, why she should not
cross in safety. Ordinary torpedo
boats have made the voyage without
inconvenience, and the craft we are
now having built will be more sea-
worthy than any torpedo boat ever
built"

Slaughter Was Grim and Terrible on
Both sides--Japs, After RepeIIing

Toxic, Dec. 6.-Unofficial details re

Meter hill show that the struggle be
gan at p. m. on November 81, when

their heavy guns on the parapets OF

made their counter attacks. The third.
which was especially furious, drove
the Japanese back. On the morning
of the 2Sth the Japanese, instead of
advancing by way of Red hill, made a
direct move on 203 Meter HILL The
attack began at daylight and was con-
t1nued with desperate resolution, The
Japanese advanced into the valley be-
tween two hills. They received the
full fire of both forts and were de-
cimated, but sweeping on, stormed the
slopes of 203 Meter hill and captured
the southeast corner of the northern
face.
In the meantime another force
found lodgment near the parapet at
the southwest face. These opera
lions were very costly to both sides.
Numerous hand grenades were thrown
by the Russians as we'll as by the
Japanese. The Twenty-ninth Russian
regiment made furious counter at
tack. and bearing the Japanese back
on the southwest corner, swept down
and poured shells into them which
moved them down.
At 5 p. m. the Russians showed
clear signs of weakening. The JAP
anese made a renewed rush from the
trenches of the southwest corner, but
the Russians did not move. The casu-
alties of the assailants were very
heavy. At this critical moment re-
serves were sent into the Japanese

gerty mine, allowed large num-
Der of horses he owned to run al
large on the Haystack range.
Once year his men would corral
the stock and brand the colts. The
herd finally became SO large that il
was impossible to round in all the
horses.
They have been allowed TO run
wild since that time, until there are
now between 5000 and 5000 of
them. They areIso wild, and there
are SO many Of them that many
complaints have been made by the
ranchmen in that vicinity.
Once a domestic animal strays
into the herd it is impossible to re-
cover it. In day or or two it be-
comes ar wild as any
A number of attempts have been
made to reduce the size of the
herd by shooting some of them,
but no marked success has attend
ed the hunters. The men who
have started for the range are
equipped with the fastest horses
obtainable, and it IS their intention
to try and capture some of the
largest horses in the herd, which
they will endeavor to break for the
eastern market.
The horses have inbred for so
many years that much OF the stock
is small, though very swift and
powerful. There are hundreds Of
horses which the trainers believe
are far superior to the average in
the East.

that the most essential material need
