WRECK ON THE G. N.

Spokane, Wash. May "a Pas
senger train No. 4 on the Great
Northern railroad left the rails a mile
south of Downs, Wash, at 10 O'Clock
yesterday morning. The tourist
sleeper was overturned and every pas
senger in 1t, with but one exception,
was more or less seriously injured.
Nicholas Gerszm, q colored cook, was
terribly scalded, but will probably
recover.
The train had allowed down. Had
1t been running at its usual speed
there 10 little doubt that the coaches
following the tourist car would have
piled up over the over turned coach,
with Sonseqent fatalities and horrors.
According to the trainmsn, q hrok ..
en- rail was the cause OF the wreck.
The engine, baggage car and express
car had passed over the defective
iron, but the tourist car following
smashed the rail and overturned. A
scene of the widest disorder followed.
Amid the kissing Of steam, the crash
OF splintering wood and the cries Of
the injured the members Of the train
crew spranR to the rescue.
Even before the passengers had
time to regain their feet the trainmen
we're at work. smashing windows and
dragging out the victims. Though
the express car ahead and the passen-
ger coach following the tourist we're
tilted over so that they were momen
taTily expected TO overturn, they were
held in place by the weight OF the
train until the couplings of the over
turned car could be broken and they
we're allowed to fall back into place
on the irons.
With the passengers loaded into the
baggage and express coaches. the start
was made for Spokane, the train
reaching the city shortly after 3:l5
o'clock in the afternoon.

By Saturday they must have made up

Charged with Violating Stock
Shipping Law.


Spokane, Wash, May 23.-Suit
was fled yesterday by the United
States against the Northern Pacific
railroad company in which it lie al
legged that the act Of congress relative
to the car, resting and feeding OF
cattle while in transportation has been
violated, and claiming damages OF
$500. The action is filed In the dis
trict court.
1t is claimed that on December %,
1906, the railway received at North
Lapwai, Idaho consignment Of 20
head of cattle and IL head of hogs,
for the Carsten Packing company at
Tacoma. The cattle were unloaded
at Spokane, reloaded and sent on
their way.

arrived a Ellensburg, Wash, they
were not unlOaded, fed or watered.
This was a run Of 81 hours and 80
minutes. According to the act Of
congress 1t is claimed cattle must be
unloaded, fed and watered once every
% hours.
The government claims that the
railway is liable for $500, and asks a
verdict for that amount.
