was blocked. They telegraphed back
to Casper and teams were rushed to
the point they had reached, and the
physicians drove to the wreck.

Most Of the killed were in a caboose,
which was at the rear of the train,
with a ponderous steel water tank back
of the caboose. The caboose sank
down deep into the mud and the water
car plunged yer into the caboose and
crushed it in like an egg shell, catching
the people in a trap.
More Than Score Drowned.

thirty were drowned and injured in
the wreck of the accommodation train,
which plunged into the flooded creek
bed. The engine crossed the bridge in
safety, when the structure immediate

L. p. Baker of the Strong mine at
Leslie was in the city this morning,
bringing word of progress on that
mine. He stated that the shaft is now
down to a depth of $40 feet and that a
drift of 100 feet has been made from
the shaft through fine ore, the body
being twelve feet wide. This is to the
south, while the drift to the north is
more han that length and is also in
good ore, although the width of the
vein has not been determined. Gold
to the value of 81 to the ton has been
encountered in this drift, in addition
to the excellent showing Of copper.
Another drift from the shaft will be
started from the 35O-foot level when
that point is reached, which will be
in a few days, and the value of the
vein matter proven in that way.
C~oncentrator To Be Ordered.
Mr.. Baker brings word that the
money for the concentration and air
compressor will be available when il
is needed. They will be ordered soon
and installed as quickly as possible.

that a decision has been rendered
against American De Forest Wireless
Telegraph company. The clerk further
says that no case is now pending nor

New York, March 26.-John d. Arch
ibald, commander of the Standard Oil
forces, while on the witness stand to-
day. answering Hadley's questions,
stated that he was vice president of
the Standard Of New Jersey. John D
Rockefeller is the president. He said
there was no master mind in the
Standard, but that it is an aggregation
of minds. Rockefeller has not been
active in the company for ten years.
He attends no meetings and has been
at the office not more than twice in

c~arious.

. and sold 10 to rs per cent of all refined
oil. The Standard had facilities to re-
fine all the oil produced, but competi-
ton prevented its getting the oil to re-
fine. The witness said that while he
was o actually familiar with the oil
conditions in Missouri, the officers
were kept well posted by the company.
Hopes to cOnfiscate Holdings.
If Missouri succeeds in the suit
brought against the Standard Oil by
its attorney general, the penalty to the
corporation will be a very heavy one.
In fact, Hadley hopes to confiscate the
Standards Missouri property, declar-
ing today that he is not through with
Rockefeller yet, and that the punish
ment shall fit the crime.
