Leavenworth prison.
Judge Pollock overruled motions
for new trials and for arrest OF judg-
ment. The counsel for the deien.
dsnts will appeal. The several men
found guilty were permitted ball in
the sum Of $4,000 each.
The defendants we're all present

CAR JUMPS TRACK
Forty Passengers Saved by a
q WOOdpile.


Spokane, WASH, Sept. 2s.--A big
pile Of wood was all that prevented

from plunging into the Spokane river
on Howard street shortly before
O'Clock last evening. Corbin Park
car No. 40 OF the Washington Water
Power company had just crossed the
bridge over the south camel Of the
river and was moving at considerable
speed, whom 1t jumped the track,
plunged across the sidewalk and
headed for the river.
There were nearly 40 people In the
car ct the time who became panic
stricken. Women screamed and men
grasped and clutched one another as
the car lurched across the sidwealk,
humping along over stones and
rough places. After the car had run
for a distance about its own length 1t
struck the woodpile, breaking the
front axel and fortunately coming to
stop. The motorman, O. Leonar,
stuck TO his post and was thrown
against the railing suffering a few
bruises, but otherwise unhurt.
About 10 feet beyond the pile Of
wood the river bank begins to de-
scend, and according to onlookers
and passengers the car was running
with enough momentum to have car
ried II into the river bad 1t not been
stopped by the woodpile.
