TORMENTOR IS
SHOT BY MRS.
GRAY
Ndnaper HaddOx Makes an
Early Morning Call and
Carries Away a Bullet

Mrs. Gray, of Las Vegas who
solemnly assured Judge Pope of that
city yesterday morning that she would
shoot Ben Haddox IL he made a Sec
ond attempt to kidnap her fifteen
year old daughter Nina, redeemed
her promise yesterday morning as re-
ported I'm last evenings Citizen. She
hardly supposed at the time that the
would-be abductor would make such
an early and bold attempt to carry
out his threat of entering her prem
ises and removing the child, but
such proved to be the case.
After providing herself with a care
fully loaded AS calibre revolver Mrs.
Gray barricaded herself in the rear
of the chilli restaurant which she con-
ducts and after remaining awake till
o'clock in the morning I'm antici-
patton of a possible call. retired to
sleep beside the much wanted child.
Shortly afterward she was awaken
ed by the sound of footsteps in the
restaurant, upon which she quickly
arose, Investigated and at sight of a
figure in the darkness fired. The in
truder thereon beat a hasty retreat
leaving behind him as evidence of
the trueness OF Mrs. Gray's aim a
trail, of blood. Though 1t is known
that HaddoX was assisted i'm his ef-
fort to gain possession of the child
by three other men, the police of
Las Vegas have failed as yet TO find
any trace of any of them and the
affair remains to great extent a
mystery. Mrs Gray now admits that
the father OF her child is still alive
and that HaddoX is representing him
In trying to recover possession but
her reticence in the matter is so
great that the truth will probably
not be fully known till the capture of
Haddox, who has at last laid him
self open to a serious charge upon
which, when found he can be made
to suffer an adequate penalty. Mrs.
Gray formerly kept the chill cafe at
Pueblo, Colorado. beyond which moth
ing of her past is known.

TRAIN DISPATCHER WAVED
A LANTERN FRANTICALLY

Indianapolis, jan ia special
from Lafayette, Ind, says that
twenty-five were killed In the wreck
of the Big Four passenger train, No
3S, near Fowler early today, twenty
of whom were cremated.
Owing to the dense fog, the en-
gineer of the flyer was unable to see
the light of the semaphore, which di-
rected him to stop, as the westbounj
freight had the right of way. The
train dispatcher waved his lantern
frantically, and fired at least a half-
dozen shots from his revolver, but
the train went on.
The tender of No. SO telescoped
the baggage car. The rear end OF
the tender cut through to within ten
feet of the rear end of the smoker
The firemen of both trains were in
stantly killed, but the engineers es-
capped by jumping.
Immediately following the crash
the wreckage caught fire and the
bodies were burned before they could
be extricated from the ruins. The
heat of the burning cars was so in
tense that the rescuers could not ge'
near enough to help. The killed in
clude men, women and children, and
all that could be seen at daybreat
was the smoldering skeletons of hu
man bodies. None of the passen
gers in the sleepers We're killed, anc
none of the sleeping ears were de
stroyed by fire as at first reported.
