DISASTROUS WRECK
Fatal Mistake of Engineer as to Day
of Week Brings Death
and Disaster.

The most disastrous wreck in the
history of the Northern Pacific, occur
red at II 80 Saturday morning, three
miles east of Pendleton. when in
collision between light engine, No.
1865, aud the incoming Northern Pa
oific passenger train, Fireman Chas.
Burnett of Ellensburg, suffered the
loss of both legs and one arm, receiving
internal injuries, which afterward
proved fatal. Engineer G. w. Wise of
Pasco was badly bruised and Express
Messenger Pringle of Seattle, was
slightly cut upon the head.
The collision VISA caused by Engi-
neer Howie of the light engine, max
ing mistake in the day of the week
and going out against the passenger
train, which was then overdue in Pen
dleton. He thought when he received
his orders in Pendleton that the day
of the week was Friday instead of
Saturday, and by this mistake read
the time of the passenger train wrong
and met it on the curve mile east of
the bridge over Umatila river.
On Fridays the passenger train comes
into Athena and does not reach Pen
dleton until 1890, but on Saturday
the train does not come to Athena and
is due in Pendleton at 10:30. Engineer
Howie, thinking it was Friday expect
ed to be able to go to siding for the
train.
BY the force of the collision both
engines were demolished, the tank Of
the passenger engine, No. 345, being
driven completely over the boiler
head, and smashed into splinteis.
Every vestige of the cab and fittings
of the boiler of the passenger engine
was stripped off and a box car next to
the engine crushed and badly dam
aged.
The light engine which struck the
passenger train Iebounded after the
collision and ran back half mile on
the track before it stopped. The pas
senger engine was not turned over,
but stood on the ties where it was
struck.

The escape of the many passengers

that saved them to some extent were
the freight cars sandwiohed in be-

Most of the passengers walked to Pen

rescued, not waiting for the relief
train.

 MADE A SUCCESS
L. I. Cooper Tells Chicago Reporter Why
 He Accomplistes So Much. ,

No man in recent years has been more successful in restoring human health than L. T. Cooper. During his stay in Chicago, and while he was meeting thousands of people daily. he gave the following reason for the re- markable demand for his medicine to a reporter:
 MT. Cooper said; My New Discov- cry is successful because 1t corrects inc stomach. My theory is that few can be sick if the digestive apparatus is working properly. It naturally fol- lows that few can be web with 2 poor digestion.
 .T know from experience that most of the tired, half-sick people that are SO common now-a -a-days have half-sielS stomachs. Put the stomach in shape. and nature does the rest. The result is general good health. My medicine does this That Is why fifty thousand ueopls here in Chicago are using 1t who never heard of me until a month ago."
 Among the fifty thousand mentioned bv MT. Cooper who used his medicine c in Chicago Is Mrs. Hilda Phueger, liv- ing at 1903 Ainslie Avenue. This is the statement she makes concerning her experience with the medicine:

 Courts. Makes it Unlawful For United states Judges to Grant Temporary
 Injunctions Against The

Washington, D. C., Dec, 12--(SpeciaD --Representative Clayton was decided ly in the lime-light today and when he arrived at the cepitol this morning he was surrounded by large and en- thusiastic group of members of Con- gress, newspaper correspondents and others who heartily congratulated him on the stir that his anti-third term resolution offered in the House the other day had caused.
 His friends did not hesitate to say they believed that the Alabama Con- gressman's resolution had done more than anything else to cause President Roosevelt to let(the public kpow just where he stood. in view of the fact that Republicans generally were telling 1t around that he country was wild to run Roosevelt again.
 One Congressman ssid "Ths Republi- can National committeeman who were here last week could not even get an expression from the president, although they tried hard"
 Yes, but Henry Clayton smoked him out" exclaimed Representative Heflin.
 'Very true" said many others Representative !. Adam Bede, Re- publican member from Minnesota re- marked to Mir Clayton: You are so clever at smoking out people Ia like
 
 fellows in my state."
 As the President has declared him. self and most people think he now means #, Mfr Clayton has modified his resolution, and in that form he will en- deavor to have il considered in the House in order to put that body on record regarding the third term ques- ton. The Republican leaders will doubtless be more willing now to have the matter brought up.
 Mir. Clayton introduced in the House today the following bill which will if 1t becomes . law, prevent any Federal fudge from issuing temper ary injunction against state law until the case has been tried and proven to be one properly belonging in the Jurisdiction of the Federal Judge:
 "section 1. That hereafter 1t shall be unlawful for any Circuit or District court of the United States or any Cir cult or District Judge of the United States to issue any injunction or order prohibiting or restraining the execu- tion of any State law, Tn all cases ex- eept where final trial has been had and final judgment or final decree has been rendered declaring such state law to be in violation of the cpntsitution., laws or treaties of the United States. "Sec. 2. That hereafter 1t shall be unlawful for any Circuit or District Court. or any Circuit or District Judge nf the United States to issue any in- Junction or restraining order prohib- ting or restraining any state officers. or any persons. from executing any State law on all cases except where final trial has been had and final judg- ment or final decree has been rem dered declaring such State law to be in violation of the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States" eff the Clayton bill were law now" said Representative Hefiin today,

Little Girl Testifies in nirmingham
 Murder Case.

Birmingham, Dec, l2-(Special)-- Virgie Shipp. the 12-year-oid sister or Walter Shlpp, was on the stand today in behalf of her brother who Is on trial in the Criminal court here on charge of killing Clarence Gray some months ago near Warrior in the northern part of Jefferson county.
 She denied the testimony of smother witness to the effect that Gray was chased by shipp and stabbed. She told of the difficulty that occurred while the young men were en route to ehurch Gray was stabbed in the leg and died from the loss of blood.
 Attorneys for the defense raised the point today that the state had failed to show where the crime was commit ted, one of the witnesses not being cer- tain whether the difficulty had taken place on this side of the Jefferson county lines or on the Walker county side.
 Both the Shipp and Gray families are very prominent in the county and s large number of people are in attend ance at the court.
