Santa Fe Wreck.

On last Saturday night train No. 6
from Denver going at its usual high
rate of speed collided with q freight
train between Caddoa and Martin.
The freight train had orders to stop
at Martin, but the crew had been on
duty 38 hours and were in a condi-
tion where they could not be consid-
cred responsible for what they did.
The blame belongs to tho policy
which keeps one crew OF men at
work for that length of time. The
freight engine. four empty coal cars
and . car load of sugar from the
Holly factory were reduced to the
scrap heap. On the passenger train
the engine was only slightly injured
and the only cars much hurt were
the express aud baggage cars and
they were smashed into kindling
wood. The crew Of the freight train
jumped and were uninjured. The
engineer on the passenger stayed
with his engine and miraculous.y es-
osped injury. The fireman jumped
and suffered severe injuries. The
express agent was thrown down and
jammed between the wreckage 50 he
could not get out, and came near
burning before he could get help.
His injuries consist mainly Of a
wrenched back and terrible shock
10 his nervous system which caused
almost total collapse. He is now re-
ported much improved. Several
others of the crew and passengers
were slightly injured. The work Of
cleaning up the wreck took all day
and late in the evening body was
found, which was evidently of
young man who was riding on the
blind, and had been instantly killed.
He proved to be Earl Lee, son Of
James Lee, foreman of the beet
sugar ranch 9 miles east Of Lamar.
He was coming for his first visit to
the new home of the family. The
body was brought to Lamar and in
TERED in Riverside cemetery on
Sunday. The family have the deep
est sympathy of the entire commun-
ity.

THE STREET SUBJECT RECALLED

The Chester Lantern repub.
fishes a portion Of what THE
News recently had to say about
the condition of Lancaster's
streets on the Sabbath and adds
by way of comment it's opinion,
in effect, that there is no danger
to health on account of streets
not being cleaned between Sat
urday nights and Monday morn,
ings. 1t also depreca es "fur5her
encroachments upon the Sab
bath"
We do not believe that Editor
Bigham is any more of a doctor
than we are but it occurs to us
that it does not take medical
expert to tell that dirty, filthy
streets are far from being sweet
scented health promoters any
day in the year. We, too, are
opposed to "encroaching on the
Sabbath. " But it is no en-
croachment on that day for mu
inequalities to "brush up" and
present a neat appearance on
the Lords day, any more than
it is for mankind to do the same
thing. We hazard the guess
that even our esteemed Chester
brother spends more time and
labor on his person and toilet
Sunday morning than on any
other day in the week.

AN ESTEEMED CONTEMPORARY
CORRECTED.

Our able contempor aries, the
Chester Lantern and Lancaster
News are discussing the inter
esting and important question
of bail, the latte appearing to
believe the law contemplates a
small bond, even in murder
cases, "innocence" being pre-
sumed. This position The Ian.
tern controverts, but both have
apparently overlooked the con-
stitutional prohibition of any
bail in cases where the evidence
is strong or the presumption of
guilt great. When, in such
cases, the Judge grants bail,
however large the amount fix
ed, he violates the organic law
of the land which he has taken
oath to observe and protect.
The foregoing is from The
State. The News, esteemed
contemporary, has not over
looked the constitutional provi-
sion referred to. On the con-
trary, The News makes direct
reference to it in it's issue of the
11th instant, as follows
"Of course in a capital case
where the proof is evident or
the presumption great the con-
stitution declares that the de-.
fendant shall not be bailed. "
We also added that "such cases
are indeed rare, ," which, by the
way, was misunderstood by the
Lantern. We did not mean to
say that diabolical murders are
rare, for, unfortunately, they
are too frequent. The idea we
intended to convey was that
bail is not often applied for in
such cases. The shrewd law
yer with very desperate mur
der case on his hands is not
apt to institute bail proceed
ings.
Our Columbia contemporary
says that The News appears to
believe the law contemplates a
small bond. No, that is not
our position at all. Our con-
tention is that a bail bond
should always be sufficiently
large to insure, beyond the
shadow of doubt, the presence
of the defendant in court when
his case comes up for trial on
it, merits.
