THE WILDER CASE.
Judge Shumway Took Papers and
 Reserved His Decision.

The contested divorce suit of Fred erick c. Wilder against Sarah Wilder was left undetermined by Judge Shumway of the superior court yes terday. Desertion is the allegation in the case. Attorney Durant is counsel for the defendant and ex-Senator Ken nedy for the plaintiff. The denial of child by the plaintiff is the main obstacle to the party's being reconcil- ed, the defendant admitting on the witness stand yesterday afternoon to- ward the close of the case that she would not live with plaintiff under any circumstances on account of his denying the child. The plaintiff, on the other hand says he had to support all his wife's family when he lived with them, so that in this way the burden of the child's support became one of the main issues in the case, and on that ground the defense claim ed divorce should not be granted
 On the other hand MT Kennedy claimed it was apparent that nothing could reconcile the couple again and that desertion was proved beyond question by the defendant herself ad- mftting that she would never again live with the plaintiff. Judge Shum- way took the papers in the case and reserved decision
 Mrs Wilder has said that her hus- band wants divorce merely to marry one of the women he is going with since he left her.

Another divorce suit was added yes terday to the many that aGe pending on the docket of the superior court Mrs Elizabeth Groves is this latest ap- plicant for freedom from matrimony. She alleges desertion and intolerable cruelty on the part of her husband, George w. Groves.

AN AWFUL ACCIDENT
AEAO-ON COLLISION ON THE
SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
Occurred in Broad Daylight-62
Killed and 12O Injured-Disaster
Due to Disobedience OF Orders
One Engineer Was Probably Asleep

Running on roadbed in q supposedly
high condition of maintenance, and hav-
ing about them every safeguard known to

Southern Railway carrying heavy lists
of passengers came together in fright
full head-On collision near Hodges, Tenn,
Saturday, sending 60 persons to death

This appalling loss of life and MAIN
ing of the living resulted apparently from
the disregarding of orders given to the
two trains to meet at a station which for
a long time had been their regular meet
ing point. This action on the part of the
engineer of the westbound train is made
more inexplicable by the fact that the
accident happened in broad daylight, and
according to the best information OBJ
tainable he had the order in a little frame
in front of him as his monster of iron
and steel rushed by the station and a
mile and half further on came upon an
eastbound passenger train. The POSSIBLE
ity exists that the Inflated engineer may
have been asleep.
The trains were on time and not MAX
ing over thirty-fve miles an hour, yet the
impact as they rounded Il curve and came
suddenly upon each other was frightful.
Both engines and the major portions Of
both trains were demolished, and why the
orders were disregarded or misnterpreted
may probably never be known. as tie en-

NEWS OF THE WEEK IN a CON-
DENSEO FORM.
Indian Commits Parricide-Eenry
Guitar Kills Stephen Guitar in il
Fight on the Omaha Reservation
Quarrel Over a Bottle Of Whisky

A brutal murder took place on the
Omaha Indian reservation near Decatur
Saturday night in which Henry Guitar
aged %, killed his father, Stephen Hul-
tar, kicking him to death.
Tn elder Guitar, half-caste French
Indian, had returned Saturday afternoon
from visit to the Indian Territory. On
his way home he stopped at Omaha,
where he secured bottle of whisky,
which he brought home with him. In
the evening he missed the bottle and ac-
cused his son of stealing it. This was
probably true. as Henry was drunk AT
the time and liercely resented the accusa-
ton. He had been riding, and when his
father accused him of the theft, dis
mounted, entered the house and knocked
the elder man down. He then began to
kick him on the head, literally beating
his brains out with his feet.
The scene of the crime is in ThurstOn
County. about one and One-half miles
southeast of the agency and i've miles
northwest of Decatur. The Guitar fam
lily have long resided on the reservation
and have been considered peaceable when
not under the influence of liquor.
Another story of the affair says: Hen
ry Guitar, an Omaha Indian, was
brought to Pender Sunday afternoon by
Chief of Police Cary LaFlesch, charged
with the killing of his father, Stephen
Guitar. 1t appears that Saturday after
noon Walter Morris, an Omaha Indian
living near Homer, went to the home of
Stephen Guitar, who is Il well to do
Indian living near the Omaha agency,
and who has been addicted to drink
They partook freely of the booze Morris
had with him. and when the father Ste
phen. became intoyicatedan Quarrelsome
he accused his son, Henry. a young man.
of hiding or destroying his booze. Henry
mounted his pony and attempted to get
away when his father came at him with
a knife, and. assisted by one Dixon, pull
cd him off the pony. where Il struggle en-
sued. Henry, III trying to free himself
from his asSailants kicked Stephen in
the ribs over the heart, from which in
jury he died.
Henry Guitar. who is held as a pris-
0ner. freely cOnfcsses the kicking and
pleads self-defensa. lie has Il good rep

A DARING ROBBERY.
A Bold Thief Secures 81, 400 in
Cash at San Francisco.

Compelling two clerks to 60 into room
at the point of q revolver to be made
prisoners, a masked man Friday took a
suit case containing $4,4OO and records
and papers belonging to the Central
Grain and Stock Exchange at 20 Lied
ersdOrff Street. San Francisco, and then
made his escape.
E. J. Flynn and II. T. Pearny are
clerks employed by the exchange, and
they were carrying the suit case contain
ing the gold, silver and papers into the
office through a passageway in the rear
of the Office when they were confronted
by the robber. His revolver caused them
TO obey his demands.
The thief was hidden behind a parti-
ton so that he could not be seen until a
person was within a few feet of him. He
showed perfect familiarity with the
premises, and the police who are working
on the case think they have good clew
to his identity.
1t is customary for these two clerks
to carry the suit case to the safe deposit
department of the Union Trust Com
pany, Market and Montgomery Streets,
every night and return it in the morning.
Before their arrival the place is cleaned
out by an Italian, and it was through
a door left open by him that the robber
slipped in.
AS the clerks entered they heard a
command, Hands upv' They turned
around and saw the robber. He was
wearing mask made of white hand
kerchief in which holes had been cut for
the eyes and nose.
March with the suit case to that step
half way down the hall there" ordered
the robber
On arriving at the designated point the
clerks were instructed to drop the suit
case and then move forward. They were
forced to 90 into a toilet room, and gc<-
ting them there the robber took q piece
of cord and tied their hands to i hook
in the wall
With the clerks tied in the room the
robber took the suit case and departed.
Presumably he had some conveyance near
at hand.
The two clerks released themselves af-
ter some trouble, and notified the police
of the robbery.

VALENTINE is MUCH WORRIED
Rumors Concerning Removal OF

\ tremendous strain has of late arts
en- about the military post at Fort Mo-
brara. because of a report that the war
department contemplated change
whereby the post ut that point would
be abolished. and another in some other
state. less equipped with soldiers, estab-
lished III its stead. Especially have the
citizens of Valentine been worrying lest
such change might be effected.
The recent visit of Gen. Chaffee, who
arrived one day from Washington to in
spect the post was for the purpose of de-
termining whether or not the post should
be made permanent with the building Of
brick quarters for the officers, or wheth-
or it should be abandoned. Gen. Chat
fee refused to say, when he drove away
from the fort. what he had decided and
the report from Washington is just nov

A SLIGHT ACCIDENT.
Mishap to President ROosevelt's
Train at Baltimore.


President Roosevelt and party arrived
in Washington over the Pennsylvania
Railroad from Oyster Bay at 6:52 Thurs
day evening.
The presidents train was delayed
about thirty-six minutes by an accident
tive as it entered the tunnel at Balti-
more. The engine was Immediately de-
tached and another procured to pull the
train to Washington. The accident
caused no damage to the train.
Fortunately, the train was proceeding
at a very slow rate of speed when the
accident occurred, or the result might
have been much more serious. The tire
of the rear driver on the left side Of
the engine broke and curied off. One
end of it protruded upward and damned
through the boiler of the engine, causing
an almost immediate shutting off of the
steam. The engineer put on the air
brakes and the train stopped.
After some delay another engine was
attached to the train and it proceeded
to Washington.
The cause of the tire breaking, accord
ing to the railway officials, was quite i'll
eXplainable. The engine, just before
leaving Philadelphia. had been thorough
ly tested. The president and his party
took the matter very cOolly.
The accident is said to be the first
which has happened to a train on which
President Roosevelt has Travelled during
his administration.
The president was given cordial well
come home by large crowd of people
as he came through the train shed and
walked out to the street where his car
riage was waiting. The crowd lined both
sides Of Sixth Street for a long time be-
fore the train arrived, and when he made
his appearance and stepped into his car
rage he WAS enthusiastically cheered.
