Into the Angry Waters-The
Reports Are Very
Conflicting.

Guthrie. Okla, Sept. 20.-Eight peo-
jured and as many more are missing
as the result of the wrecking of a Rock
Island passenger train three miles from
Dover, Okla, yesterday morning.
The engine, tender, baggage and mail
cars, smoker and day coach of passen-
ger train No. -, northbound, left the
high bridge that spans the Cimarron
river n plunged into the current
fanked by treacherous quicksands.
The locomotive disappeared from sight
almost immediately. The mail and bag
gage clerks escaped from their coaches
and swan to the shore.
The accident was due to the defective
condition of 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 high speed to mak up
time. The engine driver did not see the
condition of the bridge until he was
within a few yards, when it was too
late to stop. He shouted to his fire
man, threw OF the air brakes and
jumped. He landed on the very edge
of the river bank and escaped unhurt
The fireman was less fortunate and
sustained severe injuries.
Whole Structure Collapsed.
When the engine struck the bridge
the whole structure suddenly col
lapsed, precipitating the engine, smok-
er and day coach into the water. The
two heavy Pullmans We're not pulled
in, but remained on the track.
The scene was one of indescribable
confusion. The shrieks of those i'm
prisoned in the partly submerged
coaches We're added to the shouts of
those OF the bank.
The current whirled the day coach
down stream and lodged it against a
sandbank. The occupants We're helped
out through the doors and windows.
The smoking car floated down stream.
submerged all but the very top 1t
struck on a sandbar in the middle of
the river and four men We're seen
to Chamber through the windows ana
pull themselves on top of the car, call
ing loudly for help, but those on shore
We're unable to reach them on account
of the higa water. While they were
begging Assistance a large mass of
driftwood swept down and carried
them from their fragile footing.
Three other men jumped through
the rear der of the smoker and
struck out for the shore. They We're
carried down the current for perhaps
a quarter of a mile, when they were
pulled out. They We're almost exhaust
ed from strang,,lation and exposure.

Condition Of q. S. Treasury.

So0o1G1ou O u -. AseaS o1ys
One year ago there was deficit of
more than $2s, 100000 in the United
States treasury, which has been re-
duced to less than $3,400, 900, with
the prospects that this amount will
be entirely wiped out within the next
thirty days. It is pointed out that
there is an available cash balance on
hand, including deposits in national
banks, of nearly S144.00O,0OO, with
the daily receipts more than equaling
the expenditures. This improved
condition is due almost entirely to
large increases in customs and in
ternal revenue receipts. The monthly
statement of the public debt depart
ment shows that the debt less cash
in the treasury, amounts to S99l,-
524 646, which is decrease for the
month of $3,345,072.

more Ineligible he resorted to the fol-

you were 100 feet from rabbit and
you gave him chase, and in the first
minute you gained one-half of the in
tervening distance and likewise in the

last, if you were four inches from the
rabbit, would you ever catch him? Re-
member, you gain one-half Of the inter
