Word has just reached Laredo, Tex,
that the special which just left over the
Mexican National Railroad, bearing Jas.
Speyer, of the banking firm of Speyer
Il Co, of New York, while going at Il
high rate Of speed was ditched between
Sanchez and La Jarita, about twenty.
five miles south Of Laredo.
A special train later reached Laredo,
bearing the members of the party who
started out with Mr.. Speyer early in the
evening.
Mr.. Speyer is uninjured. One of the
party, j. Davis, of New York, received
painful cuts about the face, but otherwise
is uninjured.
The wreck, it is stated, was the result
OF the condition of the roadbed and the
speed-seventy-fve miles an hour-the
train was going at the time, it having
been the intention of the railroad officials
to endeavor to establish a new record be
tween Laredo and Mexico City.

HELPED PRISONERS EaCAPE
Sam Boyle Under Arrest on This
Charge ne Sioux Falls.

The Sioux Falls authorities have fin
ally detected and arrested the man who
has persisted in aiding j. ii. Wilson, an
expert forger. and another occupant OF
the county Jail named Ryan, TO make
their escape.
Wilson and Ryan are the men IN re-
Gently succeeded in getting ont Of the
county Jail after viciously assaulting
Deputy Sheriff Crooks, who had a narrow
escape from being killed. After being at
liberty for a brief period both men were
recaptured.
n note planning another escape was re-
recently intercepted by the authorities
which confirmed the suspicion that Will
son and Ryan had q friend on the out
side of the Jail who was striving to effect
their escape.
Sam Boyle, a former inmate Of the Jail.
has now been arrested on the charge OF
being the man implicated in the effort to
secure the escape of Ryan and Wilson
He was detected in the act of attempting
to smuggle hack saws and other tools
into the Jail. In default of bonds in the
sum of s. 1000 he again occupies his for
mer quarters in the county Jail, where he
will be kept in custody until his trial nc
the next term of state circuit court.

WEEKS HAPPENINGS
NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A CON-
DENSED FORM.
Grand Jury at Sioux Falls-Pecui-
lar transactions to be Investigat-
ed-Many Charges OF Grating
City Officials and Others Involved

A Sioux Falls special says: After an
agitation extending over a period Of more
than a month, it has finally been settled
that a grand jury will be summoned for
an approaching term Of state circuit
court, 10 be held in Sioux Falls. This
will be the first grand jury to convene
in Sioux Falls for a number Of years,
and the determination to call it was due
10 charges of graft against the city Off,
Gals and others, which have been flying
broadcast during the past six or eight
weeks.
A great many OF the charges grow ont
of the alleged collection during the street
fair and carnival in August of large
sums OF money from gamblers and others
for the privilege Of operating during the
carnival. The names Of the men who
are alleged to have received this money
have never beer made public, and if
there is any basis for the charges it will
be the duty of the grand jury to discover
who profited by the alleged collection
of the money.
Another matter which the grand jury
will have to investigate will be the day
light robbery of the Agrant pawnbroking
establishment last July. The greater
part Of the stolen watches and jewelry
was found in a local business house, and
the true facts connected with the robbery,
which had many peculiar features, will
be received by the people of Sioux Falls
with interest.

GROWING.
Accumulation OF Feeling in Great
Britain.

There is an accentuation of feeling in
Great Britain over the delay of the Rus
sian government in procuring from the
version Of the attack on the Hull fishing
feet.
Admiral Rojestvensky, who is at Vigo,
Spain, has, so far as the public is con-
cerned, made no official explanation OF
the events of the night of Oct. q, but
in an interview be put forward the state
ment that two torpedo boats, presuma-
bly, japanese craft, appeared among his
ships off Dogger bank, and, falling to
comply with a demand to retire or state
their nationality, were fred upon.
Six of the best ships of the British
channel feet are under orders to sail Mt
once, presumably to shadow the further
movements of the Russian warships sail
ing for the Cape of Good Hope, and all
the other vessels Of the channel fleet are
ready to put to sea at n moments notice.
Besides the five Russian ships at Vigo,
there are others reported at V~illagarcia
and Arosa Bay. They have been notified
that they will not be permitted to coal
in Spanish ports. Five German Golfers
are at Nigo.
Admiral Rojestvensky has informed
the Spanish authorities that his ships at
Vigo have sustained such damage that
they will not be able to leave port with
in tw~enty-four hours allowed warships
of a combatant in neutral ports.
The tone Of the British press is notably
more bellicose at present than it has beer
at any period Of the existing crisis.

a SHOCKING CRIME.
Iowan Fatally Wounds His Wife
and Then Ends Own Life.


William Peddicord, n farmer living
about eight miles southwest Of Perry, Ia,
attacked his wife with q club Friday, in
fiicting injuries from which the woman
will die and then went into a ~cornield
nearby and killed himself.
Peddicord is thought TO have been tenn
porarily insane.
The man and wife arose early Friday
morning and went into the barn yard to
do the milking, leaving their three chill
dren, who range from Is to 20 years, in
the house.
Becoming alarmed Mt the long absence
of the parents one of the children went
to the barn and found the mother pros
trate on the ground unconscious from.
horrible wounds and bruises.
A later search revealed the body of
Peddicord in a field near the barn, with
life extinct.

Q INTO JAIL.
Method OF a Stranger TO Get Some
thing to Eat

A stranger appeared in Sioux Falls and
deliberately broke his way into Jail, being
one of the few of such cases with which
the police have had to deal. While the
streets were well filled with people the
stranger, by his peculiar actions, at
tracted the attention of the clerks in a
candy store. While they were watching
him he threw q stone through II of the
plate glass windows, and then reached
through the broken glass and distracted
a box of candy.
With the box in his hand he stood III
front of the store until a policeman had
been summoned and placed him under ar
rest. The prisoner stated to the author
tiles that he was from the east and was
without money, and that he wanted to
get something TO eat, his object in break
ing the glass and helping himself to the
candy doubtless being for the purpose Of
being placed in Jail where he would be
fed and otherwise cared for.

DO NOT BELIEVE IT.
British Public scouts Rojestven-
skY'a Story.

According to London adyices, Admiral
Rojestyensky's explanation OF the attack
of his squadron on British trawlers,
while it is received with incredulity by
the people and press Of Great Britain,
has probably turned the current Of diplo-
matte negotiations into a new channel.
The British foreign Office is in courtesy
obliged to accord an investigation into
circumstances narrated by the Russian
admiral, reinforced, as it is by the testi-
mony of subordinate officers of the
squadron and by the report that vessels
were known to have been chartered in
Hull and in Sweden by the Japanese for
the purpose of attacking the Baltic
squadron during its passage of the North
Sea and the English channel. There are
Oh the one side stories of Russian ships
firing upon vessels Of several neutral ma
tons, and on the other incidents tend
ing to establish Admiral Rojestyensky's
report that there were armed hostile YES
sells in the vicinity at least of the Hull
fishing feet. Pending developments in
diplomatic exchanges, the British adj
miralty is showing the utmost activity in
bringing fleets within the course OF the
Russian squadron. The Russian ships
at Vigo, Spain, it is promised, will de-
part as soon as necessary repairs are COM
pleted.
France and Germany may be regarded
as throwing the weight Of their influ-
ence in the scale for u peaceful conclusion
OF the controversy.
While mp to the present the government
has maintained an attitude of almost
complete silence with regard 10 the pro-
gress Of the affair, it is regarded as al
most certain that Premier Balfour will,
after a conference with the entire cabi-
net, be in a position to make some definite
announcement. Public sentiment, which
hitherto has been kept under remarkable
control, will hardly stand the passage Of
another day unless some satisfactory ex.
PLANTATION is made.

BAD MINE DISASTER
TERRIFIC EXPLOSION AT TERiO,
SOUTHERN COLORADO.
sixty Men May BE Dead-Most OF
the Victims Are slavs, and Bodies
Probably Have Been l~ncinerated
or Burned Beyond Recognition.

A terrific explosion occurred at mine
No. 3 of the Rocky Mountain Fuel and
Iron Company, at Terio, forty miles due
west of Trinidad, Colo, ut 100 o'clock
Friday afternoon, and the number OF
dead is variously placed between thirty
and sixty men. The number reported as
having gone into the mine in the morning
men. Friday afternoon many more mill
ers are known to have gone into the
mine, and the exact number Of dead may
never be known, as the mine is burning
and in all likelihood the bodies will be
cremated.
Trinidad as soon as word of the accident
vas received. Company doctors were
picked up all along the line, as well as all
other available physicians.
United States Government Stock In
spcctor II. j. Foreman was at Terio when
the explosion occurred. He gives the fol-
lowing account OF the affair.
II was standing not more than 800
yards from the mouth Of the tunnel when
the explosion occurred. The explosion
was preceded by a low, rumbling sound
resembling an earthquake, which made
the earth tremble and startled the whole
camp.
II looked toward the mine, and out of
the mouth Of the tunnel and the two air
shafts came a great volume Of smoke and
dust, which continued for nearly a min
ute. Ont Of the two air shafts, each of
which il seven feet in diameter, tim
bers that were fully from two to three
feet in diameter were shot into the air
and broken to splinters. Rocks were
thrown over the camp for a distance of
a quarter OF a mile. In fact, it rained
rock, broken timbers and all kinds of de-
bris for fully a minute, and many people
were injured by being struck with these
missiles. Immediately after the explo-
sion, which wat for all the world like n
volcanic eruption, there was the widest
excitement.
Women and children rushed to the
mouth Of the tunnel, and women whose
husbands were in the mines had to be
brought away by miners to keep them
from being killed by the deadly fumes
coming from the mouth of the tunnel.
