A fatal headon collision is reported
from Columbia Falls, Mont, at 1920
Monday night between Great Northern
Limited trains. Both firemen, names
unknown. are reported killed. Con-
ductor Quinn of the westbound limited
Is repotrde badly hurt, and five passen-
gers are said to have been hurt. The
injured were taken to Whitefish, Mont.
The triaus met on level, straight
away track, where speed of 80 to 30
miles is ordinarily attained. Both en-
gines turned over and landed many
feet from the track. 1t is reported the
wreck took fire Immediately. The sur
ounding country is low and marshy,
and 1t believed heavy fog prevailed,
which contributed to the disaster. An
engine from the Kalispell branch was
quickly run to the scene fromIthe iunc-
ton mile distant. This was coupled
to the rear of the train and the cars
pulled away from the fire.
The engines in the wreck were of the
"Changhai" type, monster locomotives
with high drivers.

OF Conductor Bert Robertson. and En-
gineer Therwichter. Conductor Quinn
and Engineer Barden were in CHARGE

why was it impossible for the pas
sengers to make pins for the row
locks to fit?
why were the life preservers made
of reeds and not of cork?"
Mr.. Bunker opened so Of these life
preservers which fioated into the
rocks near where he was, and found
them all the same. He also asks;
why did six members of the crew
land near Cape Beale in one OF the
ships boats without passengers?
why did the Queen and two tugs
which stood near the wreck on
Wednesday leave her to her fate?"
Alfred Willis Makes Charges.
Alfred Willis of Spokane, an ordi-
nary seaman of the United States ship
Pensacola, aged 16, was one Of the
survivors and tells a story of hard
ship that makes the blood curdle. He
was in the second boat, and when 1t
was launched found that the plugs
would not fit. He could find no other
plug and used his hand as plug to-
prevent the boat from filling and
sinking. The boat was washed through
the surf and was capsized. He was
washed to the shore and drawn out
three times by the uAdertow, but fin
ally caught his pants on a piece of
jagged rock and held. He is in very
bad shape, but came over the trail
in fine style.
No better example of discipline was
ever shown than when Willis arrived
at Pachena bay and saw Lieutenant
Colville of the United States ship
Grant. Recognizing his superior Off
GER, he calmly saluted, and said:
Lieutenant, l report, sir. It was,
indeed it was, pitiful scene" He is
oud in his praise for Mr.. Bunker, who
kept the party of survivors in good
spirits, and also to the rescue party
from the Salvor, to whom he gives
he credit of saving his life.
He is most emphatic in condemning
he officers and equipment of the life
)oats. In number two boat there was
10 one who understood it's manage
nent, and it was steered by a fire
nan. The wooden oar1ocks broke at

The Dentist and the Alligator.

Roy Farrell Greene, the president
of the American Society Of Curio Col
l~ectors, told at a dinner Of dentists an
appropriate story.
"A Dentist" he said, was ence
travelling in the East, and in the
Gauges his boat overturned and he
was obliged to st: ike out for the
shore.
"As the dentist swan sturtily
through the muddy water an enor
nous alligator suddenly rose up be-
fore him. The alligator opened It's
enormous jaws, and the next instant
would have been the dentists last,
orly-just in time-the man hap
pened to notice the great reptiles
sharp, white teeth, and an idea struck
him.
He drew a probe from his pocket,
and, pressing 1t into the alligatos's
gums, he said:
docs this hurt you?'
1.-THE alligator screamed with pain.
AMI the dentist, amid it's great agony,
made good his escape."-Philadelpbla

FLED BEFORE WoMAN's PISTOL
How Mrs. Reader Put Stop to lmpu-
dence Of Peruvian.

In her story of ELLA Rawls Reader
Financier," contributed in Every
body's. Juliet Wibor Tompkins tells
the following incident of a struggle OF
Mrs. Readers in Peru:
After eight months OF useless
struggle she went to out Callao, whlch
Is about half an hour by rail from
Lima, with her Peruvian lawyer
Scotch interpreter, and American en-
gineer, and forced the manager to
open the warehouses and let her make
an inspection of the machinery. The
manager had met her with his law
yers, and the hour for argument be-
fore she gained her point had been
something of a strain. During the
whole process a Peruvian on the Hag-
gin side had been standing close to
Mrs. Reader, his little, narrowed eyes
staring with that deliberate insolence
only Latins can accomplish. The
company went out into the wareroom
where the machinery lay and the diff
fcult business of a hurried inspection
went forward, but still the bullying
stare never ceased. After about two
hours Of it, the fine edge of that hid
den temper of her suddenly sprang up.
She whirled on him with a blaze OF
words that needed no interpreter, and
all at once his stare was being re.
turned by a ierce little pistol held
in a strong white hand and quite
ready for business.
"The gentleman of Peru neither
%apologized nor retracted; he incon-
tinently fled. And he was not the only
one. Like shadows the men fitted
out Of the dusky warehouse, leaving
the dangerous woman a clear field.
When she looked about there was no
n in sight but two Irish porters, and
in their eyes were sympathetic twin
kles, meeting which, Mrs. Reader
could only sink down helpless with
laughter and put up her pistol"
