The Crawford supporters have
claimed all through the campaign
that Elrod wat their second choice.
Then everybody ought to be satisfied
and from all appearances we guess
they are.-Cnief.
There can be no doubt as to the
position Of the Crawford supporters
in this section of the state. Elrod
was second choice with them because
be was regarded as the best man in
the field against Crawford. Elrod
will have the solid support of the
Crawford followers.

Old friends Of the j. n. WIllett

the Youngest son, died on Monday
April 4, at the home of his parents

Preston Times. The young man was
.26 years and two days old at the
time of his death. We take the FOL
lowing particulars from a Flint
paper:
Two weeks ago last Sunday while
shaving, Mr.. Willet accidentally cut
a small callous from the thumb OF
his right hand. He considered the
wound a trivial one at the time but
later in the day called the attention
of his parents to a small spot which
had appeared on his hand and which
seemed to be of a strange color.
After the evening church services he
complained of a pain in his hand
and said he had not been at ease
during the evenings sermon. Dur
ing the night he was given treatment
and a p~hycician was called for the
second time at 3 o'clock in the morn
ing.
The poisoning spread through
out his system in spite of the efforts
of the physicians and yesterday an
opening was made near the wrist
1t was thought that he might be able
to rally from the effects of an opera,

that he would stand a chance of re-

SAYS WIFE PLAYS POKER.
True, She Replies. but I Win OFT ener Than
Lose-BOOks VIII Show II.

Mrs. Olivia Ledyard Towle yesterday
filed some supplementary evidence with
Supreme Court Justice Maddox in Brook
Ign in furtherance OF her demand for ali
money in her suit against Frank f. Towle,
son of the well known civil engin eer, for
a divorce, and for the first time named
Miss Leonard Of 928 Prospect street, in The
Bronx, as correspondent. She describes
Miss Leonard as the daughter of H. W.
Leonard OF 243 Broadway, her husbands
counsel, and AYERS that Miss Leonard and
her husband are living together at the
Prospect street address.
Mrs. Towle also makes specific reply
to the allegation OF her husband that their
separation, about three years ago. was a
result OF her general extraN agance, es-
pecially at poker, in which game, he says,
she lost large sums OF money. Mrs. Towle
declares that poker, so far as she is con-
cerned. had really increased her income,
her winnings far exceeding the losses.
Her skilful play, she says, often drew COM
pliments from her husband. She admits
that she has been playing since she and
her husband separated and says that her
books will show how she came out.
The couple were married about fifteen
years ago and have fourteen-ye son.

WENTY.SEVENDEADIN WRECK
UORLDS FAIR SPECIAL AND
FREIGHT IN COLLISION.

Nissouri Pacinc Passengers Victims or
Neglect OF Orders-The Freight Train
Didn't wait for the SECOND section
OF the Passenger Train to Pass II.
wAnBESsBuRo, Mo, Oct. 1o.-Just before
dawn this morning a collision between a
worlds fair special train. eastbound. and
n freight train, westbound, occurred on the
Missouri Pacific Railroad two miles and
q half east OF here, near the Bear Creek
bridge. Twenty seven dead bodies have
been recovered and there are as many
more injured, some Of whom will die
1t is the old story OF disreg arded signal.
An extra freight was lying at Montserrat
waiting for No. 30, the passenger train due
here at l:sOA. NJ No. 30 was late this morn
ing and running in two sections. Both
sections were loaded with world q fair ex-
oirsionists from southeastern Kansas and
southwestern Missouri. The train had
been made up at Joplin and Wichita and
had been divided into two sections at Pleas
ant Hill
The first section did not pass through
Warrensburg until o'clock, and the second
section came along soon after. The first
section passed the freight on the siding at
Montserrat and displayed red light. the
danger signal. This seems to have been
dlsregarded by the freight train engineer,
who Immediately pulled out and started
west. The freight train had orders to
wait at Montserrat for No. 80, but members
of the crew said the orders said nothing
about a second section.
The freight collied with the second sec
ton of the eastbound passenger train in
what is called the Dead Mans Bend, east
OF Bear Creek bridge. There is a sharp
curve in the track there and steep grade
both east and west Both trains had just
descended down grades and were running
at high speed to gain momentum to go
up the hill again. Both engineers and both
flremen saw the danger and jumped. 1t
was too late to check the rushing trains.
They came together with frightful crash,
tho noise being heard for a great distance
around and arousing the farming COM
munity.
The passenger train consisted Of three
day coaches and Pullman with a caboose
attached on to the latter The freight
locomotive ran on the passenger locomotive
and the two locked fast. The tender Of the
passenger locomotive telescoped the first
day passenger coach, which was crowded
with people, and there is where the slaughter
occurred. The absence Of the usual bag
gage and express coaches made it worse.
The unhurt but terrified passengers
streamed over the little valley, telephone
was found in neighboring farmhouse and
word sent to town for physicians and help.
Every physician in Warrensburg went
Immediately to the scene Of the wreck.
Every possible vehicle and conveyance was
brought into use and people rushed out by
the hundreds. An effort was made to ex-
tricare the dead and wounded. A train
coon arrived and took the wounded to the
railroad hospital at Sedalia. The dead
were all brought TO this city and placed in
q large vacant storeroom, where inquests
are being held by the Coroner.
