ELks' TRAIN WRECKED.
Texas Excursionists Have Narrow Escape
Near Forbes junction, COl.-Ran
Into Landslide.

Trinidad, COL, July 16.-Passenger
train No. 7 on the Colorado &
Southern railway, carrying hundreds
Of Texas Elks to the convention In
Denver, was wrecked three miles
north of Forbes Junction, at an early
hour Monday morning. Engineer
Martin ]. Cullen was killed and Fire
man Charles T. Garrel badly hurt.
That the whole train was not car
ried into the deep arroyo, resulting
in serious loss, of life, is probably
due to the fact that 1t was running
slowly on account of the recent heavy
rains.
The train ran into landslide
while rounding curve and the en-
CINE rolled over, carrying the two
baggage cars with 1t. None Of the
passenger coaches left the track.
Cullen was caught under the loco
motive and his body crushed to a
pulp. Fireman Carroll jumped. thus
escaping death. Though severely in
jured he walked three miles to
Forbes and notified the offlcials here.
Two special trains from the south
carrying Elks to the Denver conven-
ton are held here on account Of the
wreck and will be delayed for some
time until the track can be cleared.

Chief Engineer Stevens, of the

lack of lung capacity and insufficient

are responsible for the inability of
the West Indians to perform an
amount of work equal to that done

negroes are paid only 80 cents day

To repeat your own words, I would

Would 1t not be well to give Gen.
La Roche some hint Of our proposal?'
THAT intend to do. Nato can be

raised the spyglass and met the eyes

Barbarian boat, now freed of its I'M

shore below.
Yes, he can be trusted" Jean as,
scented, "and, owing to his size and
appearance, he will be less likely to
meet with interference"
Beluche and Lopez, with a small
crew, departed that same night upon
their mission to New Orleans, taking
with them Nato, who was to be land
ed in the woods, about two hours fast
walk from La Tete des Faux, Gen. La
Roche's plantation on Bayou Bien-
venue.
Upon the day following Beluche's
departure, the Baratarians were sur
prised and puzzled, to see the $50
phia" and her consort sail away to
the eastward, and their departure
caused LATTE to decide upon visit
to Bayou Bienvenue, as soon as he
should hear from Gov. Claiborne.
Nato returned several days later,

Roche, urging LATTE to come at once.

But he waited until the seventh day
after Beluche's departure, passing
meanwhile from wonder to impatience
at the latter's delay. and at having re-
ceived no message from mis- ennis
saries in New Orleans.
It was Nato who told LATTE that
Count de CaZeneau had removed to
Kanauhana, small plantation ad-
joining La Tete des Faux. The boy
said that the count had purchased
1t, and was removing all his slaves
and other property from New Orleans.
LATTE was, for reasons of his own,
surprised at this piece of information,
and now summoned Baptistine, the
captain of the polacca upon which
Nato had returned.
Much of what Baptistine had to tell
was already known to LATTE, but the
former added to this by saying that
the ferment among the citizens of
New Orleans appeared to be growing
more violent each day. There was
talk that when Gen. Jackson arrived
he would find but scanty support, and
the little man ended with: IF, my cap
tain, the fools begin to fight among
themselves, what will hinder the Eng.
lish from stealing in upon them, while
they are busy calling one another
names"
He spoke in French, and LATTE re.
piled in the same tongue. Truly they
are fools, 10 quarrel among them.

ties, you saw our men before you left

II did, my captain. They arrived
the second day before I left and told
me was to pick up Nato on the Owls
Point, Captain Beluche went ashore
with Lopez as soon as The Lady Inez'
dropped anchor, and neither of them
had been heard from when left"
Now, let me hear-if you know
of what Nato has been trying to tell
me. II seems that Shapiro has sold
his place to Count Cazeneau."
Shapiro has not sold-only rented
