four seriously and seven badly hurt.
The wreck occurred on a bridge over

were burned.
AT 1870 O'Clock train was expected in

two ambulancas were ordered TO the union

But apparently the train was snow

and no definite information of names of
the dead and injured could be secured
until the train came in.
A long-distance telephone message
from st. Charles at midnight was to the
effect that the rear sleeper of the Dem

the collision occurred. The sleeper was
badly smashed but not demolished. The
locomotive of the local train was crush

4 TERRIFIC MINE FXPI OSION
SENDS 1870 MEN TO THEIR DOOM
MISS SCHAEFER'S DEATH
STILL A DEEP MYSTERY
officers Declare They Have Not Sufficient Evidence to Justify
Arrests Woman in Louisville Who Claimed TO Know Some
thing Case Proves to be Caivoyant Nooriety

Bedford, Ind, January 25.-Officiais here
are anxiously awaiting the developments
in the mystery surrounding the death Of
Miss Sarah schaefer subsequent TO the re-
turn of Hetger from Bennington, and
Chief of Police Russell and Sheriff Smith
of Bedford, who are reported to have
left Louisville this afternoon for this city.
In response to a telegram from H. Hahn,
cigarmaker of Louisville who declared
he could conduct the officers to a woman
who might be able to throw light upon
the mystery, Chief of Police Russell and
Sheriff Smith went to Louisville to inter
view the woman. The officers interview
ed her and claim to have secured valu-
able information.
Before disclosing any information the
woman exacted a pledge of the officers
that her name should be withheld from
publicity in connection with the investi-
CATION. AS result 1t Is impossible to
obtain any information from the officers,
who say they will not reveal anything
until they have conferred with local Off
clals, because Detectives Halpin aud Haa-
ger and not working in harmony.
Mrs. Frank Gross of Chicago, who Is az
Elkhart 10 attend the funeral of her SIS
ter, declares that Heitger is the man to
whom she referred in her letter when she
said she was sorry that he had made
a crack at Miss Schaefer, and that the
latter had not the strength to throw
him down. The murdered girls parents
are of the opinion that Heitger is in no
way connected with the death of Miss
Schaefer.
Mayor Smith said
1--WE have no evidence which justifies
the arrest of any one yet, and so far as
| know. no arrest will be made today"
Detectives at work on the mystery of
the murder believe they have established
motive for the crime. They are satis-
fed that the tall man in the long over
coat that was seen lurking in the vicin-
ity of the Johnson house is the murderer
and that this man is the one who was
annoying Miss Schaefer.

BIG SWINDLE Is
GIVEN HEARING
FRANK AND JOHN JAEGER ARE Ac-
CUSED OF MiSREPRESENTIN
THEIR GOLD PRoPERTIEs-ovER
100000 INVOLVED.

Chicago, January 25.-Hearing of the
of the Model Gold Mining company. and
formerly connected with the Jager Oil
company, who are charged by government
officers with misrepresenting their prop
critics in advertising matter sent through
the mails, took place before United States
Commissioner Foote today. Upwards OF
100000 is involved in the case, according
to Postoffice Inspector Ketcham, in
charge of the case.
James ]. Hardin, former superintendent
of the Jager Oil company, and John II.
OGrady, former director and stockhold-
er of the Model Gold Mining company,
were important witnesses for the govern
ment.
Mr.. OGrady told how the Jager brothers
Doomed the stock" of the Jager Oil COM
pany. He said that one of the brothers
went to Evanston, Wyo., where the COM
pany's properties were located. and regis
tered at a hotel as David Williams. The
witness, Hardin, said the mining promoter
under the alias of Williams, paid $1,000 an
acre for the property. A report of this
offer was sent to Chicago in a telegram
which was reproduced and printed in adj
vertising matter sent through the mails,
the witness says.
O'Grady testified that it was planned to
send him to Wyoming to make the of
fer."but that Mr.. Jager afterwards decid-
ed that as he was lame. he might be re-
cognized.
]. ]. Hallihan testified that Frank Jager
gave him 1850 shares of stock, and said
when the promoter offered him dividend
he demonstrated but that Jager replied:
That's all right; keep the stock. and
when the price gets high enough sell lit
tie block and pay men,"
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1904-01-26

The officers decline to mention the
name of the suspect, and when asked il
he is a stranger here, said it would be
unusual for perfect stranger in Bed
ford to know the location of the cab
shed, although they say he might not
live in Bedford, and yet be familiar with
the locality where the crime was COM
mitted.
The opinion of the police is that the
man who killed Sarah Schaefer was cap
able of dealing a terrific blow, and that
he knew just where to strike, and further
that this man was enamored of Miss
Schaefer and that she had repulsed him.
The idea of the police that this man,
prooding over his passion for the young
woman, determined to have an an inter-
view with her and watched for her on
this particular night as the one best suit
ed for his purpose; that he had made up
his mind to kill her If she again resented
his advances, and watched for her as she
left the johnson boarding house. He kept
on the opposite side of the street until
Alexander had entered the Winstandly
house and then overlook her at Fourth
teenth and L streets.
Jacob Heitger did not return to this city
tonight as anticipated. He called his
father by telephone and told him that a
few friends had persuaded him to remain
In bloomington Tor 1eW days. HIS fath-
er clings to his assertion that his son did
not force his attention upon Miss Schaefer
at any time.
Professor Lowder of the high school,
was at the old library building at the
basket ball practice on the night Gf the
murder, and asserts that Heitger arrived
there about clock. Several others cor
roborated this statement Miss Madge
Dobbins who was with Heitger at the
leap year dance, later declared that Heit-
ger was never In more jovial mood than
on that night.
Mayor Smith asserts that there is abso-
lutely no Significance attached to the re-
turn of the officers from their interview
with the Louisville woman. He says that
the woman was a clairvoyant seeking
notoriety. Chief of Police Russell will
not make statement concerning his
visit
