NEGLECT
COST LIVES

A victim Of the murderous wreck
on the Northern Pacific died at the
Sacred Heart hospital yesterday noon.
He was the Italian section hand who
was injured in the wreck of the
North Coast Limited, about which
representatives of the Northern Pa
cifc declared 1t made no difference
to the public how many people the
Northern Pacific railroad killed.
As the man who died yesterday is
an unknown Italian, with no friends
or relatives in America SO far as
known, the railroad company appar-
emily deems itself correct in announce
ing that II is none Of the public's s
business how many are killed in such
frightful wrecks as that of the North
Coast Limited.
The unknown section hand was
taken to the hospital Saturday. He
was standing alongside the track
against the bank when the heavy ex-
press train left the rails near Lind
and was crushed between the cars
and the bank.
The wreck still cumbers the tracks
near Lind and the railway officials
are still doing their best to convince
the public that the deaths and the
wounding of the passengers Is none
of the public's business.

HE STRUCK 1T RICH

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 29.-Mrs. Is
abella Heating of Bonita Meadows, q
widow possessed Of a fortune OF
100000, with half a dozen grown
children. became a bride for the sec

Catholic church at Santa Monica she
was led to the altar by Isaiah H..
Smith, young enough to be her son
and a poor man.
Two closed carriages drove hur-
riedly to the church and the bride
and a few friends entered. She was
attended by her lawyer, George H.
Hutton. After rather a long wait at
the door. suddenly 1t opened and in
rushed a young man, who, with nerv-
Gus stride. walked up the aisle and
took a seat beside the bride-to-be.
They were soon married.
The late Mr.. Heating and one of
his sons perished at sea on the coast
few years ago. He left his widow
a vast estate of mines and other
property in Alaska and British CO.

ARRESTS ARE

As now planned by the police there
are apt to be two or three arrests
made In connection with the throw

arrests are likely to follow the In

He went from bad to worse and when
the end came there were no loving

LAO YANG, Sept. 16.-When the
Russians left Lao Yang for some
place further north, as they have been
leaving places ever since the war be-
gan, they left in a hurry. We saw
some of them going. at least we saw
the trains hurriedly leaving the rail-
way station, and 1t was evident then
that they were in hurry. But the
best proof OF their anxiety to get
away from the advancing Japanese
army is the great mass Of things
they left behind.
A determined effort was made to
burn large quantity of the stores
and supplies which the Russians
could not carry away with them, but
in this they were only partly success
full. Large quantities of supplies were
left which will be useful to the jap
anese. These stores have been care
fully gathered together and are being
used by the japanese.
Proud Of His Capture.
There was no artillery captured at
Lao Yang, but under the guidance of
a major of artillery, I examined bat
terry, eight guns, which was captured
at An-Shan-Sh -Sheng. 10 miles south of
here. The breechblocks had been re-
moved from seven of these guns.
without a breechblock a gun is not of
any particular use, and asked the
major why he was so proud Of the
capture. He laughed. At the Nam
Shan battle. he told me, the Japanese
had captured large number of extra
pieces Of guns and among the other
things we're a number Of breech-
blocks. These are now on the way to
Lao Yang, they are only a few miles
distant, and within a week the guns
will be ready for use. The Russians
have stated on several occasions that
at any fight were old-model guns that
were practically useless, and that the
only reason they had been captured
was because they were so worn out
as not to be worth removing from
the field of battle. This is but an
other instance of the fact that the
Russian nation, or at least the Rus
sian general. has developed an imagi-
native quality of brain that has never
before been suspected.
Something worth Taking.
We looked into those field guns
today, and If they are worn out and
useless. then artillery is branch of
the service which might well be aban-
doned. Not one of those eight guns
shows to the unframed eye the slight
est wear. Artillerists said this MORN
ing that the rifiing showed that they
had been fired but so few times as to
be hardly worth considering. They
are practically as good as they were
the day they left the factory, and
they are Of the very latest model
adopted by the Russian army. Every
gun has 40 rounds OF shrapnel In its
timber and there are more than so
