Holden, Mo. (SpeciaD. - Missouri
Pacific passenger train No. 1, west
bound from St Louis to Kansas City,
due here at 4 o'clock p. NJ. was
wrecked at the waterworks bridge,
two miles east Of here, resulting in
the injury Of about IS passengers, 10
OF whom were seriously injured.
The accident was caused by brok-
en- rail, which projected from the
track. catching the first coach behind
the mail car, throwing it from the
track down 2o-foot embankment and
causing two other coaches, a Pullman
and the diner. to follow it. The brok-
en- rail was on the bridge and the rear
Pullman rolled off the bridge into the
creek below and the passengers in.
side were all seriously injured.
Two old ladies imprisoned in this
car were taken out at the top. after
holes had been made with axes. The
engine, two baggage cars and the
mail car passed the bridge in safety.
and remained on the track. but all
the remainder of the train was de-
rallied.
There was 80 members Of the War
rensburg Lodge, Knights Of Pythias,
on the wrecked train. and few of
them escaped injury.
St Louis (SpecaD.-It was stated
at the general Offices of the Missouri
Pacific Railroad that there were no
fatalities in the wreck near Holden
Mo. From reports received from the
crew in charge OF the wrecked train,
the accident was caused by broken
rail, the train leaving the track, but
it is asserted not going through
bridge
Kansas City, Mo. (SpeciaD.--A re-
lief train which went from here to the
scene of the wreck, returned late at
night, bringing many of the injured
to the Missouri Pacific Hospital and
other hospitals in this city.
The wreck occurred IA miles west
OF Dead Mans Curve, near Warrens-
burg, where the worst wreck in the
history of the Missouri Pacific Rail-
way happened in October, when 80
persons lost their lives.
Supposition has it that orders were
given the train crew at Centerview
to stop at the waterworks bridge OH
account OF broken rail there. 1t
seems that the train was behind the
schedule time, and this order was not
needed When the heavy passenger
train, running at high rate OF speed.
struck this bridge, striking the broken
rail, which turned and projected from
the ground. there was tremendous
crash and three coaches, the diner
and the sleeper were hurled down an
embankmcnt 20 feet high, and the last
car was thrown into a stream OF wa
ter, carrying the bridge with it. Rail-
road physicians were summoned TO
the scene at once, and they worked
for hours upon the wounded. who
were taken to nearby houses.

CHARGENAS A BOOMERANG
WIN. MANSTERMAN, COMPLAIN
ING, GETS FINED HIMSELF.
HE PROVOKED AN ASSAULT
Although the Court Found That Ev.
dence Bore Out the Charge Which
the Young Fellow Had Entered, Yet
He Was Found Equally Guilty.

tffOm TUESDAY Daily
William ManSterman got a boom
erang in police court yesterday in the
shape of a $40 fine when he attempt
ed to bring suit against Emil Koehn
for aSsaulting him. The evidence
went to show that there was every
prvocation for an assault and that
Mansterman deserved just as heavy a
fine if not a more severe one than the
man whom he had sworn out com
plant against When Judge Hayes
had finished the Koehn suit in which
he decided that the evidence bore out
the charge of assault, KOehn imme-
diately swOre out a countercharge
against the complaining witness and
Mansterman paid the fine.
Trouble had been brewing for a
year or so over an old debt which
Mansterman owed Koehn for drinks
Koehn stated that Mansterman had
written an order that was of no ac-
count, drew money upon it, promised
afterward to make it good and then,
failed to keep his promise.
Mansterman entered the saloon Sat
urday night. KOehn asked him to liu-
uidate Mansterman refused and said
he didn't intend to pay it at all. Fur
thermore," he is quoted as having said.
Il am minor and you had no right
TO ever sell me anything"
Later Mansterman walked up to the
bar and ordered a drink. Koehn re
fused to give it to the young fellow,
ON the ground that he was a minor.
And further, on the ground that he
was a minor, Koehn determined to
Oust him from the building.
He ordered Mansterman to leave
Mansterman claims that Koehn came
at him with an ice pick and struck
him, Koehn denied the allegation
They all agreed, however that Man
sherman, though he might have been
struck, had been provoking to a de-
gree and the judge gave him a severe
lecture on the strength of it.

been put in use and on two or three

Fremont and some point northwest,

WHIPS BRADY IN DEBATE
FUsloNlsT MADE TO ADMIT HE
RODE ON A PASS.
ALSO VOTED TO SPEND MONEY

Appropriations Which He Had De.
ynits He Voted for--He Calls Kelsey
Liar But Fails to Prove It.
Clearwater, Neb., Nov. T. Special
10 The News: A debate took place
here Saturday afternoon between
Charles II, Kelsey, republican, of Ne
ligh, and Senator Brady, fusionist, OF
Albion, as the result Of sensational ac.
cusations which were made in a
speech of Brady's earlier in the week,
when he called Kelsey a liar and said
that he had lied deliberately. In the
debate of Saturday, Kelsey fairly
wiped the earth with the fusionist,
made him admit that he had ridden on
a railroad pass, had voted for every
appropriation in the last legislature,
which he termed extravaganza, and
got a statement that Brady will vote
for Watson for president.
Kelsey spoke Tuesday showing that
the tax of Antelope county is less this
year than last, under the old revenue
law. He declared the Ramsey elevat-
or law was constitutional. Harry
Bronze followed on other issues.
Brady followed Thursday, abusing
the republican party and declaring
that Kelsey had lied in his figures
He said anyone who would ride on a
railroad pass was under obligations to
the company and would do dirty work
for it. He said the Ramsey law never
had been declared constitutional.
Kelsey's friend objected to the accu-
sations and arranged a joint debate
in Clearwater for Saturday afternoon.
Kelsey produced figures and chal-
lenged Brady to prove their falsty.
He asked Brady if he didn't ride on a
pass when he was in the legislature;
Brady admitted he did. He asked him
if he hadn't voted for every appropria-
tion; Brady said he had. Brady said
he would vote for Watson for presi-
dent but gave no statement as to
United States senator. Another de-
bate was arranged. At Orchard Kel-
sey again wiped the earth with Brady,
who tried to get out of keeping the
date,
