By percussion caps CT by rusty nails, and

New York, Oct. lO.--The stock market was
encouraged by higher London prices, and the
expectation that the government crop report
on corn, to be make public this afternoon,
would show larger yield than was predicted
For time strength was shown and prices
;mnroved substantial fractions, but this was
followed by profit taking and moderate con-
cessions. The industrials were firm, though
some reactions followed the early high figures.

I'm of Onawa, against Isaac N. Hol-
man for 100000. Mr. McNutts petition
claims that he has been seriously
slandered by words and accusations
uttered by Holman, and likewise his
business and credit damaged to such
an extent as have done him very great
injury. McNutt sets forth I'm his petit
ton that he was the owner and pur-
chaser of 1000 acres of land, bought of
Holman, for which he had agreed to
pay him the sum of $4,000. All of
which he paid excepting $4,000. About
the 5th of February, 1904, McNutt while
at work with some of his men cutting
timber OH the land which he owns, was
visited by Holman. who ordered him
to stop cutting the trees, and in the
presence of the wood choppers, advis-
ing them to quit as they would not get
a cent of their pay. and McNutt was a
dead beat and could not get credit from
btSiness men for even n small amount
where he was known. The petition re-
cites in some five or six pages of type
written manuscript, many other SER
ous and damaging accusations which
Holman is alleged to have said. The

The first three named We're killed out

Among the injured. none of whom, it

Southern Pacific railroad, slightly hurt.
DR.. Rosa Enghert of Chicago.
Mrs. Early, an eastern woman, adj
dress unknown.
Edmund Quinn OF Kansas City.
The other injured are all Santa Bar

Cause of the Accident.
The accident was due to defect in
the brake apparatus, as was revealed
upon an inspection of the car after the
accident. While the rear brakes We're
tightly set against the wheels the for
ward brakes We're of no service because
of the breaking of a part of the gear
ing.
The motorinan discovered that some
thing was wrong with the car several
blocks above the point where the acct
dent occurred, and endeavored to set
the brakes, but failed to check the
speed of the car. AT the Intersection
of Garden and Mission streets. there
is q small abrupt curve. and the car
was moving at its highest speed down
a 5 per cent grade when the curve was
reached. The car was thrown from the
track upon its side. the passengers be-
ing scattered in every direction. One
section of the car was smashed into
splinters.
Those who We're instantly killed and
many of those Who We're most seriOuly
injured We're standing on the guard
rail ON the side of the car as it crashed
into the ditch.
Omaha, April l.-Julius Hruttschnitt,
whose wife Was in the wrecked street
car at Santa Barbara, Cal. received a
telegram stating that beyond rather
severe shock she was uninjured. Mr..
ISruttschnitt, however, feared that the
shock might prove more serious than
reported. His wife was severely injured
in u similar accident in San Francisco
six months ago, from the effects of
which she has hardly recovered, and
he fears q second experience of this
nature may result in u nervous shock
of q serious nature.
