Runaway Car Killed 10 Miners.

A runaway car, flying like the wind
down a mine branch track that runs
between Puritan and Portage, Pa, at
midnight Tuesday, jumped the track a
short distance west of Portage and
crashed into a party of 20 foreigners
who we're holding a celebration along
the track. Thirteen were killed in
stantly and without a moments warn
ing Several others were injured The
car was smashed to kindling wood and
the tracks were torn up for hundred
feet.
The car was loaded with a motor
consigned to the Puritan Coal COM
pany and had been left standing on a
siding near the mine shaft. Mine Off
cials give it as their opinion that
striking foreigners loosened the brake
and started the car down the precipit-
GUS spur, although another theory is
that malicious boys sent the car OFF
in a spirit of mischief.

PREY OF A BOGUS LORD.
Heads of Mormon Church TAX
en- In by Plausible Englishman.
Beresford Hope Came to Utah to Rep.
resent the "Britlsh.American Secur..
ties Company, Limited, London"
Imposing List of Directors--Company
Since Discovered to Be Fictitious.

Salt Lake City, Utah, July 10.-Of-
ficials high in the Mormon church here
would be very glad to hear some sort
of explanations from a man calling
himself Beresford Hope, who repre-
sented himself to be an English no
bleman and who, by presenting Gre
dentials which looked good on their
face, succeeded in promoting" several
schemes in which they are financially
Interested.
Hope was suave in his manner and
plausible with his credentials. The re-
suit was that he succeeded in swindling
the men who rule Utah's dominant
church for sums of money that ran
into many thousands of dollars.
Just how much money was advanced
to the alleged nobleman on his various
schemes is not known because of the
natural reticence on the part of his
victims. He is now in Boston "still
standing pat"
Hope worked on large scale. His
were no petty schemes He came to
Utah with letter from the British
American Securities company, Limit
ed, London" The letter head of this
concern, since discovered to be flc-
titious, set forth that the company was
capitalized at e10,000,000, or approx
imately $5O,000000.
1t had as its directors, among others,
Lord Rothschild, who bore the title
of treasurer; Lord Deerhurst, the
chairman; Right Hon. Lord Vaux, Lord
Talbot, Lord Vincent, Sir Alexander Nc
Kenzie and several prominent in the
world of finance. London does not
know of such a company, fact which
was learned by the investors here
abouts only after they had made their
investments.
Hopes letter from the British-Amer.
lean Securities company was to the ef-
feet that his credit was good up to
100000. 1t helped him greatly. Ac-
W al lnlClNiCW nClC Will
former stenographer he used to dictate
letters addressed to himself on the let.
ter heads of the company with Boston
date lines and other mems signatures
affixed. All of these letters were most
encouraging, as they gave him carte
blanche in the matter of investing the
money of the company.
With this as a working basis, Hope
began to talk to people about his
schemes. He found many willing ears.
Among those who listened to the
SIRENS tale were many prominent Nor
mons.
President Joseph H. Smith, the head
of the church, and by virtue of his job
as prophet, as well as president of
many large corporations here, allowed
his name to be used by Hope among
the lists of his several boards of d.
rectors. Whether President Smith in
vested any money or not has not been
discovered.

Five Yosemite valley stage coaches
were held up Saturday evening neal
the entrance to the national park in
California by lone highwayman
who obtained a considerable amount o
money and jewelry. The conveyances
were halted in rapid succession at q
curve in the road near Ahwahnee, al
the identical spot where bandit q
year ago robbed several wealthy tour
lists of their valuables.
The stages Saturday were travelling
sufficiently far apart to avoid each
others dust, and when the first vehicle
reached the turn in the road the high
wayman, whose features were hidden
by duster thrown over his head
stepped out, pointed gun at the
driver and commanded him to halt
Some Of the men passengers screamed
while others began wildly to secrete
their valuables.
The highwayman directed all pas
sengers to throw out their money and
jewelry, and when the order met with
compliance he directed the driver to
move on.
The second stage arrived within
few minutes after the first and the
driver and passengers suffered sim
liar experience. The process was re.
peated until all five coaches had been
halted and robbed. Then the bandit
disappeared in the brush.
A dispatch from Berenda says the
bandit has been captured.
