are Of minor nature The air brakes Of the
loaded train gave out on the steep grade Just
outside of the city, and the train was soon
tearing thru the yards at fifty miles an hour.
The crew did not desert, altho 1t was known
the train could not pass thru the yards without
being wrecked. - 's~r
In the west yards train Of ten empty cars
was the mainline track. The crew did not
see the runaway until it was almost upon
them. The engineer then opened the throttle
and started to away and was going fifteen
miles an hour when the collision occurred, the
men each locomotive in the meantime having
jumped to the ground in safety The loaded
cars were piled up in heap while the train
of empties started to run to the lower yards.
At the Third street crossing another collision
occurred. Engine No.. go, with an empty gon-
| dola, was just rounding the curve when the
engineer saw the train advancing at terrific
speed. He had barely time to reverse his en-
gine and leap from the cab when crash took

track was strewn with broken carwheels, con.

CLAIRVOYANT DISAPPEARS
Wife Of Professor LANYARD Believes
Husband Has Gone to Spirit World.

:. ST. PETER, MINN.-Professor La Ward, spir-
1tual1st, clatrvoyant, trance medium and man
OF mystery, has mysterously disappeared. His
wife, Mrs. Lima Ward, of 400 Sixth street s.
Minneapolis, thinks that the professor is now
numbered with the spirits he often
moned, but Nicolet county officials, to whom
she appealed today, believe the case one Of
plain desertion. ~
According to the story told by Mrs. Ward
she was married to the professor five years ago
and they have two children. He made bust
ness Of delving in the occult, and under the
professional name of Professor La Ward, was
wont. to travel from place to place revealing
the future to the credulous. That he found it
profitable is shown by his wifes description Of
him, she stating that he was always we'll
dressed, displayed several diamonds and car
ried large sums of money. .-.
Professor La Ward disappeared last July and
she has since been unable to find trace Of
him. having been hampered in her search by
his relatives, who were opposed to their mar
riage short time ago. 1t is said, sister
Of the missing man informed Mrs. Ward that
her husband died suddenly in this city on July
5 and that his estate would be probated Oct. 3.
On the strength Of this statement Mrs. Ward
had her lawyer telephone Judge Henry Moll,
/ who informed the attorney that he knew moth
ing of Wards death and that no such estate
had been filed for probate. Not satisfied with
this assurance the woman came to st. Peter
today and visited the county offices. Attic she
learned that no man answering her husbands
description had been in St. Peter, she
| still clngs to the theory that her husband is
dead and that his relatives have entered into
conspiracy to defraud her of his property.
