The collision occurred shortly after
II O'Clock at an unprotected freight siding
crossing Of the Butte, Anaconda and Pacific
Railroad in South Butte. and 1t appears
evident that both the streetcar employees
and the freight crew we're negligent and
equally to blame. Motorman johnson
did not stop his car until he was upon the
railroad track and as he then saw the APP
proach Of the freight cars, which were being
backed he attempted to reverse his car,
but broke the circuit and left the car help
less in the path Of the freight train. .
There was no Waterman on duty at the
crossing and there were no lights or other

She fell under the upturned car and was In

out when the car settled down and crushed
her to death. The trolley car carried fully
100 people. who were returning from Column

prevented many from jumping when the
danger was apparent.
The big car was practically in the charge

fact that the car was an open one alone
prevented more horrible catastrophe.

SAN FRAsc1sco, CAL. Aug. 2i.-The

JOHN HAYS LITERARY EFFORTS.
Believed to Have Been Author of "The
 Blood SeedIlng."

The Hon. John Hay mayor may not-haye written "The Breadwln- ners." But there Is not the shadow of a debut about his being the author of story in Lippincott's October num- Der called "The Blood Seeding" This possesses the interest of well-plotted fiction in addition to the sympathetic desire that prevails to read everything that was produced by so distinguished an American as our lamented secre- tary of state.
 MT. Hays subject, like that memor- able first story of the world, has to do with a woman and an apple. In fact, the opening paragraph tells us that "a broad-shouldered young man was planting an apple tree one sunny spring morning indicates that the Eden is not "Adamless." Of his Eve he says she was neat, hearty, and very pretty young girl-g graceful as a young quail" This idyllic pie ture hardly prepares one for the deeply dramatic denouement, though it i'm presses the reader with the authors power of versatility as well as the deftness of construction which springs complete surprise at the story's end.
 The high place won by John Hay in the hearts of the American people and. indeed in the esteem of the whole world-will throw light of peculiar interest upon this story. All who read it will wonder to what flights of sus- tained narrative power this brilliant and versatile mind might have at tained had he devoted himself more exclusively to letters.

 At a fine old Virginia homestead where he was frequent guest the waffles were always remarkably good.

 Then he exhibited his head and explain ed how he was shot and why he was be- friending the man who fired at him. He said he had been in the employ of local packing house for five years and that White worked occasionally at the same place. An altercation occurred last week and Clements said he protected himself with a hatchet. Later in the day he says White returned and fired at him. Both were arrested and charged with assault with intent to murder. Dur ing their incarceration White relented and told Clements he deserved the more punishment because he was the aggres- sor. When arraigned before Judge Fea- gin they were fined $50 each. Then it was that Clements revealed the plan by which White wanted to get his release. White wanted to be fined $75 and let Clements pay $25. This was done to pre- vent an appeal on the part of Clements and also that he might get out of jail and help pay Whites fine. Judge Feagin agreed to the arrangement.
 The bullet entered the fleshy part of the top of the head and struck the skull bone. When the lead was abstracted it was perfectly flat.
