SAW SPIKES PULLED.
Former Sheriff Says Orchard Had No
Part in Train Wreclxing.

Pueblo, Col, July 3-Former Sher-
If J. L. Beeman said last night that
Harry Orchard had no connection
with the attempt to wreck the Flor
ence & Cripple Creek train, as Or
chard has testified. He said that while
he was sheriff the Teller county auth
critics brought to Pueblo a man nam
ed Charles Beckman, an employe of
the Thiel Detective agency. Beckman
was placed in Jail with Charles Nc
Kinney, who was accused of the at
tempted train wrecking, in hopes or
getting a confession from him. Be
fore going to Jail on this mission Bee
man says Beckman related story of
his experiences He said he was a
detective and a member of the West
ern Federation of Miners Timer cir
cle." The timer circle" Beckman as
serted, designated him and severar
others to wreck the train. He report
ed the matter to Scott, special agent
for the railroad company, and Ster-
ling, special agent for the mine own
ers and went with them to the scene
of the proposed wreck. where they
saw men pull spikes from the rails.
After gaining an alleged confession
from Mckinney, Beckman left Col
orado for parts unknown, saying that
this country would be too hot for him.

She SAVED THE TRAIN.
A Woman Used Her Apron as a Dan
ger Signal.

Salt Lake City, Utah, July 3-Two
carloads of giant powder standing on
a side track of the Oregon Short line
at Becks Hot Springs, about five miles
form this city. exploded jarring heavy
buildings in this city and causing con-
siderable excitement for a time. No
one was killed but two men were In
jured.
A train carrying 100 passengers to
the Lagoon pleasure resort, was ap-
preaching the burning cars, when Mrs
]. Olson tagged it with her apron and
told the engineer that the blazing cars
contained powder. Almost before the
engine could be reversed the explosion
came. The windows of the coaches
were broken in and the passengers
throWn into a panic by the frightful
concussion. The timely warning Civ
en- by Mrs. Olson undoubtedly saved
many lives.
Telegraph and telephone communi-
cation to the north and west was cut
off. as every pole in the neighborhood
went down and window panes in
houses for two miles on either side of
the explosion were smashed. The ex-
plosion was due to fire in dry grass
near the track reaching the powder
loaded cars.
