FIVE REDS PERISH IN JAIL.
None Near to Unlock Door When Fire
Burns Cell.

PendletOn, Ore, Jan. 21.-Fire
started in the jail at the agency on
the Umatilla reservation early Sun
day morning, but was not discovered
until the building was a mass of flames
and before assistance could be given
the agency. He save the alarm and at
once there was confusion among the
five Indians were burned to death The
fire was first seen about O'Clock by
A. Christensen, farmer living near
employees and Indians, all forgetting
at the time that there were inmates
in the jail. Industrial Agent Gardner,
the only person having a key to the
Jail, was occupied in getting the small
children up and out of the rooms and
conveying them to places of safety,
and before he could reach the jail the
building was almost consumed. In the
meantime, others attempted to chop
the door down to liberate the unfor'
tunate Indians, but were unsuccessful.

Yakima Indian; Abraham Liman and

Wild Scene at the Agency.
When it became known that the In
dams had burned to death, there was
wild excitement among the women and
children and employees had great dill
ficulty in establishing quiet at the
agency. Indian police and white men
living near were summoned to assist
in restoring order
The five men were arrested and lock
ed up by the Indian police ON charges
OF drunkenness. Before leaving the
police searched the prisoners and say
they found no matches on their per-
sons. AS no fire has burned in thgI
stove since Christmas the origin OF thf
fire is mystery. The only plausibs
solution offered is that one of the ID /
dams lighted a cigarette and careless
ly threw match upon one of tne
sleeping prisoners, setting fire to MS
clothing.

WHOLE TRAIN BLOWS UP AT
SANFORD INDIANA.
Death List May Grow to 2o-lnjured
Number nearly 35-car Of Powder
Exploded While a Big Four Passen-
DER Train Was Passing-Entire
Train Took Fire. Many Cremated.

Terre Haute, Ind, Jan. 21.-Big Four
accommodation train No. 3 was des-
troyed by the explosion of a car of
powder at the siding east of Sanford,
Ind. Fifteen persons were killed out
right, and the death list probably will
reach 20, with 80 or 35 injured. The
engine two coaches and baggage car
of the passenger train were derailed.
The identified dead:
Charles Cosnell Paris, Ill.
John Franklin, brakeman, Ashmore,
Ill.
A. F. Hectar farmer, Elbridge Ill.
Claude Steels, Sanford, Ill.
Reed Wolfe. wife and two children,
Sanford, Ind.
Three cremated bodies were taken
from the wreckage and four fright
fully mutilated bodies were found in
the woods some distance from the
wreck. Four other bodies have not
been identified. II is believed there
are more in the wreck.
The first intimation people had of
the disaster was a shock which was
felt in Terre Haute and as far east
as Brazil. Ind, and as far south as
Sullivan, Ind. The wires were blown
down and it was some time before the
Big Four officials here learned of the
explosion.
1t is said the car contained 500 kegs
of powder All means of communica-
ton between this city and Sanford
were cut off.
The entire passenger train was
mass of flames and the relief party
was able to reach only the passengers
who had been either blown from the
train or were able to crawl from the
coaches after the explosion.
were still alive when the relief train
Two Of the men who were cremated
from this city reached the wreck, but
the rescuers were unable to reach
them and were compelled to stand
and watch them burn.
The flames lighted up the scene so
that the rescurers did not have to
work in total darkness.
The station at Sanford was turned
into a morgue.
After the physician from Paris, H.,
and members of the relief party from
Terre Haute arrived the flames died
down so that the men had to work by
the light of lanterns.
1t is not known how many passen-
gers there were on the train, but it is
said both cars were full.
Many gruesome finds were made by
the relief party and it is probable that
some of those who were blown to
piects or were cremated will never be
identified
From the most definite information
ObtaiCable the freight train had just
cleared the main track and had come
to a standstil when the passenger
started to pass it. 1t is thought that
the concussion caused by the passen-
ger train set off the powder in the
freight car.

that gas escaping from an oil pipe line
