SIX LOSE LIVES;
WHO'S TO BLAME?
By Associated Press.

OMAHA, July 6.-Owing to the fact
that Manawa lake, where six persons
were drowned ON the night of July
by the collapse of a platform built for
boat landing, is a part of the old bed
of the Missouri river, there is an un-
certainty as to whether II is in the
state of Iowa or Nebraska.
To prevent any miscarriage of JUS
tice through a mistake of jurisdiction
the authorities of both Pottawattamle
county, Iowa, and Sarpy, Nebraska,
today held inquests I'm the case.
The Iowa jury this afternoon returned
a verdict placing the blame for the ac-
cident upon the Manawa Amusement
company and the Omaha e. Council
Bluffs Street Railway company.

WAGON CRUSHES
OUT BABY'S LIFE
"TRINKET" EMM0NS MEETS
DEATH WHILE PLAYING
Small Sister Who Was With Five
Year-Old Boy Has Narrow
Escape Beneath the
Wheels
Little Trinket Emmons is dead.

Little Trinket Emmons Is dead.
The merciless wheels of a wagon
loaded with hay passed over his baby
body and the tiny life was crushed
out. Only one person saw the tragedy
Beth Emmons, a sister few years
older than the dead baby.
But more than one person is mourn
ing the death of the little chap. There
is a mother, a father, two sisters and
a brother prostrated with grief, and a
whole neighborhood amenting, for
Trinket was the sunshine of the section
lying around Fifth and Ezra streets.
Yesterday afternoon Trinket and his
wandered rather far from home and
becoming tired sought some means of
getting home quickly.
Soon two hay wagons, one attached
behind the other and driven by ]. f.
Smith of 22O5 Brooklyn street, came
along.
Run Into Danger
Lets hook a ride on that wagon be-
hind" said Trinket. "Itll be great fun
riding on the tongue We can get in
there WllIOuI llldl NIlNcl man SGClll5
us at all. Won't take US any time to
get home then"
So the 5-year-old tot and his sister
watched their chance and ran in be-
tween the wagons and climbed on the
tongue.
The vehicles were moving slowly and
all went we'll for time. The driver
up ahead could not see his passengers
for the load of hay obstructed his
view.
Suddenly, as Whittier road and
Stephenson street were reached, the
wheels struck a rut The front wagon
lurched. The tiny boy was thrown di-
rectl.' in front of the wheels. The little
girl just away from them.
"Trinket,' called the little girl. But
Trinket did not answer, for he was
dead.
With childish cry of horror Beth
ran to the front wagon and, screaming
to the driver, told him to stop. The
driver, little knowing of the tragedy,
drove on short distance and then
glanced back.
Goes to Child
In an instant he saw the lifeless form
lying in the road and the next moment
he was bending over the boy. The driV-
er, too, was frantically calling for help.
Gently he picked up the crushed and
mangled body and carried it into a
nearby house. There stayed Smith until
the coroner arrived to take charge of
the body. Beth Emmons ran on home
to tell her mother as fast as her little
legs would carry her. The body was
taken to the coroner's.
When the mother arrived at the cor
oners she looked once at the little
white form and then with a moan as
though someone he'd struck her she fell,
faint Medical aid was necessary be-
fore Mrs. Emmons could be revived.
There are other children to allay
the sting of her wound, but Trinket
was such a dear little fellow no one
can ever take his place." said a neigh
Dor last night. 1--WE all loved the little
flaxen-haired boy as though he were
our own. He was so good and so much
like little sunbeam. The fairest flow
er, it seems, is the one to wither the
quickest. And she furtively wiped
away a tear.
Today "Trinket," whose real name is
Deforest Emmons will be buried and
with him will be buried the sunshine
of whole neighborhood, the light and
love of a whole household.

Car Strikes Truck and Throws Men

conscious-one Suffers
Broken Arm

A collision between a Maple avenue
car, No. 1892, and a truck belonging to
Craig & Co. at Twelfth and Maple ave-
nue. about 6 o'clock yesterday after
noon resulted in two men being serious
ly injured and a half dozen other peo-
pie being hurt by flying glass. Two
men, Joe Kranwinkle and Will Jones,
We're taken to the emergency hospital,
one with badly fractured left arm
and the other suffering from severe
bruises.
According to the story told by wit
nesses to the accident the truck, which
was being driven by Jones, was backed
in front of the linus grocery, near the
corner of Twelfth and Maple, and was
near the car track. The Maple avenue
car was south bound and slowed up as
1t came near the truck.
The motorman, thinking he could
pass, ran the car within a few feet of
the truck, when he saw he would hit it.
Then, according to witnesses, the car
seemed to jump as if the motorman
had turned on the power instead of
reversing it.
Both Rendered Unconscious
AS the car struck the truck Kran-
Wlnkle, VINO was standing on the front
step. was thrown into the air and
lighted on his back in the truck. For
several minutes the man was uncon-
scious. The driver of the wagon was
thrown from his seat to the bed of the
wagon and rendered unconscious
The truck was partly lifted from the
ground. the side of it caving in the car
windows. Broken glass was thrown
through the car, injuring several pas
sengers, who were hurried to their
homes by the railway company.
Fred Kranwinkle, brother OF the in
jured man, who saw the collision ran
to his assistance and later summoned
an ambulance.
According to Fred Kranwinkle's
story the motorman did not stop, and
when he reached the corner of the
street and came near the truck turned
on the power instead of reversing
Others corroborate the story told by
Kranwinkle.
May Lose Hand
At the emergency hospital it was
found the fracture which Kranwinkle
had received was a compound one. The
arm, in all probability, will have to be
amputated The other man. Will
Jones, was not seriously injured and
later in the evening was removed to
his home.
Joe Kranwnkle is an electrician, 21
years of age, and has been employed
by the Llewellyn iron works. He has
been living with his parents at Ala East
Twelfth street.
1t is said that if the arm is amputat-
ed the family will take action against
the electric company for damages.

GRANT REBATES;
MUST FAY FINES
MAXIMUM Sentence of $12o,ooo May Be
Imposed by the United States
District Court of
Illinois
BY Associa ted Press.

BY Associa ted Press.
CHICAGO. July 6.--The Chicago e.
Alton railroad and John N. Faithorn
and Fred A. VAIN, formerly officials
of the road. were today convicted in
the United States district court of
Illegally granting rebates to the
Schwartzchild & Sulzberger Packing
company.
No sentence was imposed today by
Judge Lands, pending the argument
for a trial of the defendants which
will be heard tomorrow morning. 1t
was claimed by the government that
officials of the railroad company had
allowed the employees of the packing
company to travel free of expense by
refunding to them all money expended
for transportation. 1t was declared by
the court that this did not comprise a
rebate and the jury was instructed
that a verdict of not guilty should be
returned as to two counts of the in
dictment which charged the giving of
rebates in connection with the pas
sengers' transportation.
Defendants Found Guilty
In the other eight counts of the in
dictment all the defendants were found
guilty. Two offenses against the Elkins
law were alleged
1t was shown by the government that
the railroad company had charged 81
per car for handling the products of
the Schwartzchld & Sulzberger COM
pany at Kansas City, and had then
repaid the packing company 81 on each.
The government claimed and the court
held that the failure of the railroad to
publish in its tariff sheet the fact that
81 was repaid made in fact a secret re-
bate. 1t was claimed by the attorneys
for the defendants that the refunding
of 81 per car was because the packing
company owned the railroad track near
its plant and compelled the railroad
company to pay that amount for track
age to haul the cars away. Under the
law the maximum sentence of the
court may be a fine of $120,000 for each
of the three defendants.
No imprisonment provision appears
in the law. There are two specific
allega tions of rebating alleged in the
eight counts of the Indictment upheld
by the court.
