WRECK NEAR LIND.
North Coast Limited Jumps the Track.
Thirteen People Injured.

sS~U SStsS
Thirteen people were injured, two OF
them seriously, by the North. Coast
limited jumping the track a mile and a
quarter east of Lind, Wash, at $3.50
| a. m. Saturday. The train was rushing
down the grade into Lind at IS mile
clip, and as it reached the bottom
where a section gang was working, the
tender and baggage car left the rails
In an instant all was confusion. Cars
jammed into cars and were rammed
into the high embankment; passengers
were hurled with terrific force against
seats and sides Of the coaches, and the
track was ploughed up for nearly 400
feet. The injured are:
An Italian of the section gang, who
was caught between car and embank
ment; may die.
Constantion Dimarco, Black Dia
mond, WASH, crushed and internally
injured; serious.

Escape Miracle.
Considering the speed of the train
coming down the heavy / per cent
grade on one side of coulee the list
Of fatalities is surprisingly short, and
1t seems almost a miracle the train
was not entirely demolished. The line
has many curves in it, following the
contour of the hills, and the wreck oc
CURED where there is cut through q
small promontory, SO that the bank or
the lower side kept the train from
rushing to destruction into the ditch.
So far the cause of the wreck is un
known. The Italian section gang was
at work on the track in the cut and
stepped back against the embankment
on either side to let the limited pass
Later.
The cause of the train wreck is still
q mystery, but train officials thought II
could not have been that the section
crew left rail insecure, for the loco
motive, the heaviest piece in the train
passed over safely and did not leave
the rails.
Superintendent Beamer was at the
scene Of the wreck all day yesterday
1t will be few days before the wreck
Is cleared away, and in the meantime
trains pass over temporary track
laid around the wreck. 1t is more diff.
fcult to remove the wreckage of a
passenger train because it is necessary
to place the coaches back onto their
trucks and put the injured cars in con-
dition to travel again. In a freight
wreck the debris is thrown onto q
wrecking train and hauled away.
Until the wreck is cleared from the
track it will not be possible to deter.
mine the cause-perhaps not then. 1t
can be seen that the rails and track
are badly torn up.

REPLY OF FRANK P. MILBURN,
ARCHITECT, TO REPORT OF IN
VESTIGATING COMMITTEE, RE-
LATING TO THE WORK ON THE
STATE HOUSE.
To the Public:
I will be glad for you to consider my
reply to so much Of the report OF the
investigating committee, recently made
to the legislature, as seems necessary
at this time.
In the first place, the committee,
composed Of chosen representatives or
the people, "all honorable gentlemen,
in their desire to vindicGte the author
of the minority report Of one MEM
Der Of the old capitol commission, have
gone beyond the authority given by the
concurrent resolution under which they
acted. BY that resolution they were
directed to report to the next session
of the general assembly such facts ana
recommendations in reference thereto
as they may deem advisable Ana
vet these honorable gentlemen go
out Of their way to inject into their
report wholly unwarranted and I'M
proper conclusions, which are nelther

sentatives, as we'll as the architect ana
contractors. miserable fraud, mon
strous swindle'' and 'malefactors:
Such gratuitous expressions are as
false as they are uncalled for by the
concurrent resolution.
But that this committee was more
bent on vindicating the one dissenting
member Of the capitol commission IMAM
carrying out the suggestions or the
legislature, is evidenced by the fact
that they did not employ an archi-
,tect," as was suggested by the authori-
ty given in the concurrent resolution,

tendent of constructing of the Unlted

But further still, this committee was

thority to summon witnesses, etc
