MANAGER WILLIAMS
EXPLAINS LOSSES
OF The INDIANS

"The Spokane team is here and in
good shape" said President Williams
today. They had some hard luck
in Butte, losing four games by one
run. Our team was not in good con-
dition physically. Practically half OF
the team was out of the game on
account of stomach trouble caused
by the water. Then, too, 1t is pretty
hard for a team coming from an alti-
tude of 1000 feet to play the best
kind of ball at an altitude of 5000
feet.
"All of the talk about the league
going to pieces is hot air from the
start. The league is in fine shape and
every team will finish the season. The
Salt Lake team is in capable hands.
II. o. Shepard, a man who has had
experience in handling teams, being
at the head of it. There was a time
when the Boise team wanted to get
out of the league, but everything is
running as smoothly as we could
wish now"

wreckage from the bridge, on which
he floated to a curve made by the
caving bank, and crept out of the
water. He ran toward Eden, meeting
on the way Operator F. M. Jones and
his wife, who had already started up
the track. They had seen the head
light of the approaching train a min
ute before, and then had witnessed 1t
disappear with ominous suddenness.
The two men ran to where the bridge
had been to search in vain for victims
of the disaster. When they reached
the spot all cries for help had ceased.
They Immediately notified Pueblo and
relief trains were sent out. Two sleep
ing cars and the diner stopped at the
brink of the chasm. So quietly had
the catastrophe been enacted that the
occupants Of the three cars remaining
on the track did not realize that an
accident had occurred until they
alishted from the train and found
they were powerless to render any
assistance to the victims who had
disappeared in the rushing waters.

had nearly crossed. Fireman Frank
Mayfield, with a large torch that the
engineer and fireman had been using
to ascertain the condition of the
track, was in the gangway. When
Engineer Hindman felt the tremOr

glimmer on the water, he shouted his
last words, Put out that TORCH" evil

dropped, with the kissing of steam,
through 80 feet of flood to the bot
tom of the arroyo, crosswise to the
track.
The baggage car, smoking car and
chair car followed the engine into the
stream and were swept away. All
the occupants of these cars save three
men perished. and had not the roof
of the chair car burst asunder not one
would have escaped. The fireman, as

The court has no authority to order

ready to go into Judge Hinkle's
chambers and reveal the bruises.
Then Irby got hot. He demanded his
rights as an American citizen He
told the court that he paid taxes and
was a good citizen. He wanted jus
tice. This brought down on his head
a curtain lecture such as Hinkle can
give when anyone tries to take his
court by the ear.
Finally the Judge started to de-
liver his opinion. He commented un-
favorably upon Irby's action and it
was evident that he was about to
dismiss the case. Then Irby, when
he saw that the wheel was turning
against him rose and stated that he
had another witness of whom he had
just learned. After roasting Irby for
third time for his dilatory action
the case was continued.

can furnish good reason why the
water inspectors can produce results
one time and can not another. Many
fires have been beyond the control
of the fire department lately because
of low water pressure. The high
pressure produced today when the
inspectors are doing their duty shows
that considerable portion OF these
fire losses are directly chargeable to
negligence on the part Of the city's
employees.
The public is getting anxious to
know just how much the desire to
foist on on the city several hundred
thousand dollars worth of meters has
to do with the scarcity of water and
the continual trouble with the water
supply, How long are the rights of
the taxpayers of this city to be
trampled upon.

At noon today the water gauge at
the central fire station showed a
pressure OF so pounds. This is more
than the pressure has been at this
time Of day for three months. The
city water people have at last come
to the conclusion that there is some
water being used out of hours. They
may have suspected It for some time,
but they took little or no action to
remedy the evil. This morning the
whole force of water inspectors were

story of how the accident happened.
Engineer Charles Hindman was on

ed by the squally clouds and heavy
rains to the north, and was running
cautiously, about 15 miles an hour,
as he approached the arroyo, which
was spanned by bridge 96 feet in
length. The condition of the bridge
