TRAINS RUNNING UN |Ilnt
Railroad Delays aeduced to q
Minimum
COAL IS STILL REPORTED SCARCE
BECAUSE OF THAT FACT, ROADS
ARE NOT ANXIOUS FOR
FREIGHT.

There is little change in the railroad
situation. All passenger trains are
running as usual but on the o. r. q
N. no perishable goods or stock are
being received.
While all freight trains are belng
operated as usual by this company still
thew are running as light as possible
on account of scarcity Of coal.
O. R. & N. officials mere know notn-
ing about the rumored legal proceeding
to be brought against the people OF
Adams for stealing car OF coal d
few nights ago. They admit, however
that the company might view the mat
ter in a more serious light than II
if had been the owner of the con-
fiscated coal The fact that the coal
belonged to a private dealer may make
the matter more serious for the Adams
people.

girl to keep away from Bellows proved
futile, so it is said.
While the girl was on tine witness
stand this morning she testified that
Bellows had asked her more than fifty
time to become his wife and she had
told him, Not yet"
When Prosecuting Attorney Rupp
asked the child if she loved the man.
she said she did not.
A love letter written by Bel
lows to his youthful sweetheart, was
exhibited in court, but it was impOs-
sible to find out it's contents except
that the girl left her fathers home at
one time at the suggestion o bellows
After reading the note, the court stat
ed that it contained more than the
court could write in several volumes.
According to Spangler's testimony,
Bellows would come as far as the fence
and talk for hours with the girl. Many
presents were sent her by her lover
who lived across the street from the
Spangler family.
The girl will be taken to the reform
school as soon as an attendant arrives.

next week.

Yakima and this was the highest price
that had been charged. They said that
coal had been pretty scarce, but what
there was of it had never been sold
for more than $4.75 a ton
81 also talked with a travelling man
and a contractor from the same city
who assured me that $4.75 had been
the top notch price for the season.
What Others Pay.
"While in Pasco 1 went personally
to eight Or 10 different stores and
other places, including the county
court house, and in every single place,
without one exception, they said that
they paid $3.50 a ton for coal and
that this had been the price all the
time. Just call up anybody in Pasco
and you can verify what 1 say. Any
merchant in the town will tell you this
Is So"
Attorney Barker also said he had
been told by a real estate dealer of
Waitsburg, named Houtchens, few
days ago, that $3.50 a ton was the
price charged for coal in that city and
had been the steady price.
The assertion was made in Walla
Walla today that coal is being sold in
Waitsburg at $3.50 a ton-sold, TOO,
by dealers who are selling the same
coal mere for $40 a ton.

SCORES Of PASSENGERS CREMATED IN
FR|GHTF(L WRECK ON THE BIG FOUR

FOWLER, Ind, Jan. 19.-Twenty-
five were killed and 40 injured, of
whom probably 25 will die, in the
wreck of the fast Big Four passenger
train No. So, bound from Chicago to
Cincinnati, which collided with a
freight train here early this morning.
The wreckage Immediately caught
fire and 20 of the dead were cremated.
The fire was instantaneous and but
two of the passengers in the smoker
were saved. None of the passengers
in the sleeper was injured and these
coaches were not burned.
The freight train was on the main
line of the Big Four, on which
hte passenger was travelling at a
rate of more than so miles an
hour. The dispatcher realized
an hour. The dispatcher realized
that on account of the dense fog the
engineer of the passenger would be
unable to see the signals directing
him to stop as the west bound
freight had the right of way. The
dispatcher went along the track and
waved a lantern and fired several
shots from a revolver but failed to
attract the traiamen's attention. The
passenger rushed by and some Sec
onds later, the crash occurred a half
mile from the station.

1T is difficult to say just what affect

VAL[A WA[LA PAYS MORE FOR COAL
THAN DOES PASCO OR NORTH YAKIMA
COMPARISONS Most 0douS to Consumers of Coal Show This City
Made to Bear Heavier Burden During Fuel Shortage---
A75 and $3.50 Against $1,000

The same man said that despairing
of getting coal a few weeks back, he
had made Investigations with the idea
of shipping coal in himself directly.
A friend of his in North Yakima
gave him a quotation of coal at $3.50
ton and that the freight on TINS
would be $500 into Walla Walla.
The Walla Walla man has been in
formed that coal has gone up trifle
since December 81, when the quotation
was made to him, but probably no,
over so cents a ton.
1t was also learned, on good au-
thority, that J. E. Ransom received a
carload of coal recently which had
cost him $500 a ton laid down. When
Mr.. Ransom was asked as to the truth
of this statement this morning he said
he did not care to answer one way
Or the other.
Here Is a Difference.
Attorney E. F. Barker, who has just
returned from attendance upon term
of court at Pasco, was full of infOrma
ton on the local question when inter-
viewed this morning. He said:

REFORM SCHOOL FOR GIRL
Middle Aged Widower Says He
Will Have Her Despite
the Judge.
REFORM SCHOOL FOR GIRL

"You can keep me away from her
for two years but after that time 1 will
have her. exclaimed Willis J. Bel
lows to Judge Brents this morning
after the court had committed Bellows
14-year-old sweetheart Mabel Span
gler to the reform school.
A dramatic scene was enacted in
the court room shortly before noon
when Bellows attempted to speak to
the girl after the court mad decided
thaat for the girls own sake she should
be sent to the reform school.
After the testimony had been offered
Judge Brents took occasion to drag
Bellows over the Goals for his con-
duct in trying to persuade a mere
child to marry him. The judge said
it was a wonder Bellows did not take
babies from their cradles and marry
them. 1t was the opinion of the court
that for the girls own protection she
should be sent to the reform school,
mot because she was bad g. heart but
because she was being persuaded to
become the wife of Bellows, a step
she knew nothing of; ner father was
not using good judgment in control
ling her and her mother could not
protect the child"
Girl Bursts Into Tears.
Immediately after the court had
passed sentence upon the child, sne
began crying and the mother tried to
soothe her. 1t was then that Bellows
attemped to speak to Mabel. Judge
Rrents ordered the man to keep away
from the girl or he would have him
locked up. 1t was necessary for the
sheriff to quiet Bellows.
Mabel Spangler was arrested yester-
day charged with incorrigibiity the
complaint being filed by Alfred Span
gler, the girls father. A divorce was
granted Spangler from his wife, Allie
Mae Spangler during the early part
of August, 1906, and the husband was
granted the custody Of the three chill
dren, the oldest being Mable. Accord
ing to Spanglers testimony the girl
fell in love with Bellows, a widower
81 years old. The couple met during
the early part of June, 1906, and
friendship on the part of Bellows soon
ripened into love, and all entreaties
and commands of the father for the
