scalded to death. His piteous
cries for help attracted the at
tention of the trainmen and pas
sengers, and willing hands work
ed with might and main to ex-
tricate the helpless man as he
begged and prayed to be saved.
1t was difficult work getting to
his body but it was finally pulled
out just about the time that the
unfortunate fireman breathed
his last.
Sunday night the elder Mex
lean man, named Rivera, died
from his injuries. He was the
father of the little Mexican girl
killed. He was never informed
of his little daughters death
and died thinking his child was
safe. The wife of Rivera was
badly shaken up. She carried a
two months old baby in her
arms, and mother like, saved
her babe from injury.
AS soon as the news of the
wreck was given out a special
was run from Ell Paso, and DIR.

All the dead and wounded were

capped without injury. The front
end Of the chair car was slightly
damaged.
The train was running at a
good rate of speed when the
wreck occurred. Without any
warning the engine dashed into
the open switch. The tracks
were torn up as if by an earth
quake and the engine careened
quickly to the right, catching
the unfortunate engineer and
fireman under the mass of steel
and iron. The baggage car and
the smoker, crushed against the
wreck of the engine, were con-
verted into a mass of splinters
and it is q miracle that any Of
the occupants of the smoker
escaped with their lives.

had hurt him,
Fireman Redfield, however
gave up his life suffering the
greatest of agony and begging
for help. He was caught under
the tender, and, had it been pos

been saved. As the engine
turned over, steam began to .es
cape in great volumes from th'
boiler and Redfeld was literall.

Mrs. George Spence. The
Spence family are prominent
people and among the best citi-
zdns of the Southwest. Hartley
Spence was not quite 2l years of
age. Besides his parents, one
brother, George, Jr., and one
sister, Miss Grace, survive.
There are also three uncles:
Chas. Spence of White Oaks,
Frank Spence and Jos. Spence of
Ell Paso.
Hartley Spence was a sheep
man of Corona. He boarded the
train at Corona and travelled only
five miles when he met his death
in a most horrible manner. His
body was fearfully mangled. 1t
appears that he was caught in
the vestibule, where he was
waiting for Conductor O'Shea
to bring some change for bill
which he had given the conduc-
tor for his fare, and this fact
was the only reason why O'Shea
was not killed in the same man.

of people met at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Spence

family, conducted the funeral.

W. E. Dudley conducted the
song service. Revs. Meeker and
; Pope endeavored to speak some
words of comfort to the prOstra-
ted mother, broken hearted
father, brother and sister, and
other relatives. Young Spence,
so full of promise of useful man,

H. f. Ackley had been a rail
road man for % years, and had
served in several capacities on
the road, as brakeman, baggage
master, mail clerk and engineer.
He was master mechanic and
for this fact he naturally became
an engineer. He was one of the
oldest engineers on this road,
and had been on this road ever
since it was first built, coming
here from the Erie of Pennsyl-
vania.
Harry Ackly was good man.
Everybody liked, loved and re-
spected him, and he was very
popular with railway men.
He has made his home run"
Taking charge of his engine
Saturday night he started on his
trip with God and eternity at
the end of his run. Though he
could have jumped and saved
his life, yet, realizing that hu-
man lives were guarded and
guided by his hand on the thrOt-
tie of his engine, he remained
at his post of duty and with his
hand clinched on the throttle
went to horrible eath,-being
literally roasted by the heat of
the boiler and scalded by the
escaping steam. And thus his
body was found, bruised, mashed,
burned, scalded and lifeless,
with his hand gripped to the
throttle, and no doubt his dying
thought was fixed upon the safety
of his train and for the human
lives so dearly in his charge.
A hero while alive, and though
dead, no less hero still!
His first thought was to save
his train and human lives, and
his last act was brave and
heroic effort!
Rest in peace in thine ever
lasting grave, while in our minds
and hearts will ever remain the
divine memory of thy fearless
life and brave and tragic death

JAPANESE VETERANS
ON MEXICAN BORDER

MEXICO CITY, July 13.-Nine thou
sand veteran japanese soldiers are nov
in northwestern Mexico. They are sta
toned at points in the states OF
| Sonora. Sinaloa and chihuahua. Eact
group is commanded by skilled com
manders who saw service in the Russo
japanese war.
Thirty thousand japanese, the vast
majority eff whom are veterans Of the
Russian campaigns, are in the south
western section of the United States
and Lower California.
Three japanese generals who held
high rank in the Russo-Japanese war
have been in Mexico for three months.
They dress like Mexican ranehers and
are ostensiblv buying land. The trans
oceanic immigration company, whose
vice president is Rinata, a member OF
the japanese parliament, is subsidized
by the japanese government to bring
japanese soldiers to Mexico.
They have been coming into Mexico
at the rate of 500 per month, landing at |
SaIina Cruz. Manzanillo and other Pa
,ifc ports. In case of war the plan is
'or the japanese fleet to sail up the
yulf of California, capture the pors
f Guaymas and use the state of So.
ora as a base of operations in a cam
aign against the United States.
This plan will practically duplicate
he operations against Russia, when
apan seized Korea at the outbreak of
he Russo-Japanese war. Japan, if in
olved in war with the United States

PLEASANT TIME

PORTLAND, July 16.-Mr. and Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth passed through
Portland late tonight Oh the way to
San Francisco from the Yellowstone
park. They arrived on the Northern
Pacific train and were in the city only

''We have been in the Yellowstone
park since June 27,'' said Longworth,
"and are on our way direct to San
