but refused to name his regiment. On
Friday he denied his military Connection.
Elphinstone told John A. Jepson that he
was the kings messenger awaiting Or
ders.' Jepson the manager of the Month
cello Hotel at 80 West Gath street
charged him with defra uding the hotel of
a bill of $3.50, which he left behind, un-
paid, when he departed on March 4. This
was the only additional formal complaint
made today.
The Manhattan Hotel and the Kncker-
booker stables at 23S West 54th street were
registered among the kickers E. B. Patch

of the same name, giving the address of
No. Sackvllle street, PiccadilIy, London

he referred on Friday as a prospective
bondsman, did not appear.

everything in evidence

A RUNAWAY FREIGHT
CARS DITCHED ON SANTA FE
ROAD NEAR SAN BERNAR-
DINO CATCH FIRE.

Los Angeles, Aug. IA long
freight train, breaking in three sec
tions, caused a double wreck last
night on the Santa Fe road In the
mountains near San Bernardino. One
of the runaway sections, consisting
OF thirty cars, was ditched In Victor
Narrows and caught fire. Two un-
known tramps were injured, one so
seriously that he Is dying.
The train, which was made up OF
fifty-two cars from the north and
east, consigned to points along the
coast division, was made up at Bars
tow. Several miles above Hesperia
the two engines cut loose to take
water and in some manner the air
brakes became powerless to hold the
train, which started down the steep
grade.
The heavy train shot down grade,
gaining momentum with each revolu-
tion of the wheels, and before the
trainmen could set the hand brakes
on, the first few cars of the heavy
train were laundering down the
mountains around sharp curves,
threatening derailment every minute.
The trainmen leaped before the
crash.
Nine OF the cars broke away and,
distancing the others, ran fifteen
miles to Orc Grande, where they
stopped. The middle section, consist
ing Of thirty cars, heavily laden with
merchandise, remained on the track
for a distance of eight miles, finally
leaving the rails at Victor Narrows,
forty miles from this city. Finally
plunglng from the track, the thirty
cars struck the telegraph poles. de-
molishing them like splinters and de-
stroying all telegraphic communica-
ton. In the ditch the cars took fire,
and the entire section was burned.
The remaining section OF the train.
consisting OF thirteen cars. ran seven
miles down the grade before they
were wrecked. bringing up in heap
alongside the roadbed.
The accident occurred on the north
slope of Csjon Pass. in the steepest
section OF the San Bernardino noun
tains.
