Special to The EvenlnG Tines.
Fargo, N. D., May 22.-For threaten
ing to shoot and kill Miss Media Revls
of the local Salvation Army, Swante
Holmberg was arrested yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff Bingham in this city
and arraigned before Judge Ryan In
Justice court. The case was con-
tinued, and Holmberg was committed
to the Cass county Jail in default OF
bail.
Holmberg's latest trouble is said to
be due to his having loved not wisely
but too we'll, at least too persistently,
for the young lady did not receive his
attentions with favor. His persistence
finally developed into threats, and
when he told the young lady that he
would shoot her and kill her unless
she smiled upon him and favored his
suit, she became frightened and decid-
ed to appeal to the authorities.
Holmberg's record is strongly
against him. February 27 he was re-
leased from Jail after having served
a five months term for bootlegging.
In 1905 he was convicted of burglary,
having, it is said, broken into a box
car at Casselton.. For this he served
one year and three months in the state
penitentiary.
On being released from the county
Jail last February, Holmberg ap-
parently decided to reform and later
frequently attended the Salvation
Army meetings. 1t was there he be-
came acquainted with pretty Miss
Revis, and her kindness in attempting
to show him the pathway to the higher
light resulted in his infatuation. The
young lady plainly made it known to
Hflmberg that his attentions were not
desired, but with the blindness OF one
whose eyes saw naught but her and
whose thoughts knew none other, he
persisted and thought to compel de-
vOtion,

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Los Angeles, May 22.-Train No. 20,
one of the Southern Pacific coast fly
iers, was wrecked at West Glendale.
ten miles north of here, at 1880 this
morning. The wreck was the deliber-
ate work Of train wreckers. One man
was killed and twenty-five persons
injured, three probably fatally. In
accomplishing the wreck of the train,
a devilish ingenuity had been exer-
cised. At point on the trestle over
Arroyo Seco, the fish plates and bolts
of two connecting rails on the south
bound track had been removed, and
in the apertures whence the bolts
were taken, strands of heavy wire
were fastened at the end of each rail.
From the appearance of the track
after the wreck, it was evident that
some person hidden on the hillside
close to the trestle had pulled the
wire as the train approached and
spread the rails outward toward the
edge of the trestle.
The train, three hours late, was
travelling at rate of between thirty
five and forty miles an hour. The
engine wheels were the first to leave
the rails and the engine took to the
ties, travelling nearly 100 yards be-
fore it was brought to a standstill.
The tender, diner, two Pullmans,
buffet, mail and baggage car plunged
over the edge of the trestle, falling
distance of sixteen feet. The buffet
car, express car and one of the Pull
mans were turned completely upside
down and the others landed on their
Sides. All were badly crushed and
splintered.
