iOl DuA lnlt's
Guthrie. Okla, Sept 19.-Many
people are dead. twenty seriously in
jured and as many more missing as
a result of the wreck of a Rock Is
land passenger train, Nthree miles
from here.
The engine, tender, baggage and
mail ears, smoker and day coach on
train No. 10, north bound, left the
high bridge that spans the Cimarron
river and plunged into the river
qulcksands.
The locomotive disappeared from
sight almost Immediately The mail
and baggage clerks escaped and
swan ashore. The accident was due
to a defective hange on the bridge
which was swerved out of line by the
pressure of driftwood carried down
by the swollen stream.
The train was an hour late and was
running at a high speed to make up
time. The engineer did not see the
condition of the bridge until he was
within a few yards, when ii was too
late to stop. He shouted to the fire
man, threw on the air brakes and
jumped. He landed on the river bank
and escaped unhurt. The fireman was
severely injured.
When the engine struck the bridge
the whole structure suddenly col
lapsed, precipitating the engine. smok
err and day coach into the river. The
two Pullmans remained on the track
The scene was one OF lndescribable
confusion. The shrieks OF those i'm
prisoned in the partly submerged
coaches were added to the shouts OF
those on the bank. The swift current
whirled the day coach down stream
and lodged it against sand bank
The occupants were helped out
through doors and windows.
Float Down Stream to Safety.
The smoker floated down stream,
submerged all but the top. 1t stuck on
sandbar In the middle of the river.
Four men who clamored through a
window to the top of the car were
swept away by a large mass of drift
wood. Three other men jumped
through the rear door Of the smoker
before the car sank. and swan TO
shore.
The most authentic accounts place
the number OF passengers in the smok
er at between twenty-five and thirty.
With few exceptions none have been
accounted for.
The only hopeful news is contained
in a message from rural districts.
Men on bits of drlftwood have been
seen going down stream at various
places, but attempts at rescue have
in most instances proved futile.
One man whose name is unknown
was fshed out of the Cimarron at
Cashlon. twenty miles from the scene
of the disaster, almost dead. Others
have been reported floating down the
river The injured have been taken
TO Kingfisher, where the people have
thrown open their homes for them

the exact number of dead for several

Gilbert in 1000 was the first to employ

that he killed turkey by the electric

identity of electricity and lightning.
The first magneto-electrlc machine was

first telegraph line In the United
States was set up between Washington
and Baltimore in 1874; the first sub

Sir Robert Hart Will Be Forced to
Retire.

Pek!ng.-Sir Robert Hart, for 43
years inspector general Of the i'm
perlal Chinese customs, is about to re-
TIRE. 1t IS more than likely that his
retirement has been forced by the
growing Japanese influence around the
Chinese throne and by the progressive
movement in China itself. -
Sir Robert Hart is undoubtedly the
DeStknown and best-posted foreigner
in China to-day. In his knowledge of
the country, its people, and its GUS
toms he is better posted than was
even Chinese" Gordon himself. He
has done more for China than any 9th.
er man. He has put the country on a
firm financial footing.
His knowledge of the Chinese Ian
guage, literature, and, above all, of
Chinese character, is greater than that
of any other foreigner. and, in fact,
OF most Chinese.
Sir Robert is a baronet of the Brit.
ish empire and possesses the grand
cross of the order of ST. Michael and
St. George. He possesses more than
80 orders and decorations, among them
those coming from Rome, Norway,
France, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Aus
tria, Sweden, Holland, Spain, Ger
many, and Japan. He is a mandarin
