WRIT DENIED BY JUDGE BEATTY
United States District Court Affords
No Relief for Accused Men.

Boise, Ida.-Judge j. r. Beatty in
the United States court on Tuesday
quashed the writs of habeas corpus in
the cases of Charles II. Meyer, Will
liam ID. Haywood and George A. Pet
tibone.
Judge Beatty took up the points
raised by the defendants that they
should be discharged because they had
been brought to Idaho under fraudu-
lent means, and that they were not ex-
tradited from Colorado because they
were not fugitives from justice from
Idaho. Judge Beatty decided that his
court had no jurisdiction to inquire
into the methods whereby the prison
ers were brought into this state in the
proceeding at bar.
There is no provision that / have
been able TO find in law" said Judge
Beatty. whereby | have jurisdiction
TO remand the prisoners to sister
state after they have been brought
into the demanding state, as in the
present instance. Now that the pris-
oners are In Idaho. | cannot make any
order to prevent their detention and

WOMEN MEET DEATH IN
A LODGING HOUSE FIRE
Were In a veritable Trap, Without
Stairways, and Cut Off From Es-

Kansas City, Mo.-Miss Agnes In
man, corset maker, who came here
three months ago from st. Louis, was
burned to death and five other wo-
men were overcome by smoke in
fire in the annex of the Altman build
ing at Eighteenth and Walnut streets
in this city. Most of the tenants OF
the building are professional women
and many of them sleep in their Of
fees. Miss Inman was sleeping on
the fourth floor and she was dead
when the firemen found her. The
other five women were taken down
on ladders by the firemen from the
fifth floor They were all revived.
The part of the building in which
the fire occurred is without stair
ways and was shut off from the main
structure by an iron door.

HEART-RENDlNG SCENES
Survives Tell of Horrible Sights Fol.
lowing Wrecking of Train.


Pueblo, Colo. = Conservative esti-
mates on the loss of life as the result
of the collision of the two passenger
trains on the Denver & Rio Grande
railway twenty-five miles west of here,
place the number of dead at thirty
six. Seventeen charred, mangled and
utterly unacceptable bodies lie in
the Pueblo morgue, two others are in
the morgue at Florence, several other
persons are known to be dead, and
possibly score of bodies were burned
to ashes.
There was not single entire body
recovered from the wreckage, with
the exception of the engine man, who,
although horribly mangled, had not
been reached by the swift flames
which swept through the wrecked
cars.
Only seven of the dead can be iden-
titled and only one these corpses re-
tains sufficient of the outline of the
features to be readily recognizable.
Two telegraph operators are held
in the public mind to be re-
sponsible for the awful disaster, al
though no formal Indictment has gone
out against them. Both have been or.
dered discharged from the service of
the road. A coroner's jury has been
empanelled and will investigate the
cause of the accident.
It develops that R. G. Whitney, who
was being escorted to the penitentiary
by Deputy Sheriff Ed. E. Baird, had
been chained to his seat and when the
fire broke out in the wreckage he had
no chance whatever to escape. By
the hand of fate his guard persisted
with him.
The laws of Colorado have provis-
ion making it crime to fasten pris-
oners in transportation to car seats.
A heart-rending story of mother love
and wonted self sacrifice is told by
Conductor Kroeger, who had charge
of the Pullmans on the west-bound
train.

a little babe in her arms. She knew
hat it was almost an impossibility

thought was of ner child. One hand
was pinioned down under the debris,
out her head and the other arm was
rec.
"She was trying to keep her head
rom the flames and. with her free
land, was holding the infant as high
n the air as she could. Just as we
we're about to reach her she gave
;asp and fell back into the flames

smaller mining camps have been Wis
tied with snowslides during the past
few days.
Hairbreadth escapes from the snow

are entertained for scores of daring
prospectors and miners who are cut
on from the outside world in their
lonely cabins far up in the hills.
One slide at Silverton struck the

damage. The railroads in the San

TRAINS COLLIDE
MANY KILLED
Horrible Disaster on the Rio
Grande Near Pueblo,
Colorado.
Tragedy Caused by Failure of Oper
stor to Deliver an Order Which
Changed the Meeting Place of
the Trains.

Pueblo, Colo.-In binding storm
which made it almost impossible fol
the trainmen to see ahead, two
trains collided head-on at a point
midway between Portland and Adobe
twenty-five miles west of Pueblo, at
2:20 O'Clock Friday morning. I'm
eral of the wrecked cars burst into
flames and were consumed, a number
of passengers being burned to death
Owe thirty others were injured, but
of these it is not thought any were
fatally hurt The cause of the wreck
is attributed to the failure of an EN-.
ploye of the road to deliver an order,
which changed the meeting place of
the two trains.
Conservative estimates on the to-
tai loss of life place the number Of
dead at thirty-five Rio Grande Of
ficials insist that the exact number of
persons on the two trains cannot be
ascertained; that it is impossible.
P. F. Lively, night operator at Swal-
lows, whose alleged failure to deliver
orders to train No. 16 is supposed to
have been the. cause of the wreck,
has been employed by the road for
many years. He was relieved from
duty and will be suspended until the
matter is thoroughly Investigated by
the officials.
Both trains were running at the
usual speed. the deep snow and high
wind making it necessary to exercise
exceptional care. Suddenly both
headlights flashed out from the dark
ness, and 1t was realized for the first
time that something was wrong. Ac-
cording to the story of Fireman j. H. !
Smith of the westbound train, Engi- |
neer Walter Coslett opened the emer-
gency brake and the train was
checked for an instant, but the Slip |
