Spokane Passenger Train Wrecked.

The Northern Pacific train
running from Lewiston to Spo-
kane was wrecked near Garfield
early Wednesday afternoon by
running into a traction engine
that was crossing the track.
The train was behind time and
was running pretty fast. On
rounding sharp curve it en-
countered the traction engine on
the crossing and could not stop,
striking it fairly in the center,
cutting it in two and reducing it
to scrap iron. Alva Fee, engi-
neer of the traction engine, had
his shoulder dislocated and re-
ceived internal injuries from
which he may die. His fireman
had one leg broken and wasNbad-
ly bruised. E. Nelson, fireman
of the passenger engine, jumped
and was badly bruised, while the
eagineer stayed with his engine
until it turned over and received
a dislocated shoulder and some
severe bruises. Four of the pas
senger coaches left the track and
shook the passengers up severely
but none were injured to any ex-

The hail storm last Friday is
reported to have done consider
able damage to crops down to-
ward Culdesac.
A heavy rain is falling this
morning and as the weather has
been out of the ordinary this year
many fear another wet harvest
may be encountered similar to
that of 1893. With the immense
crops now ready to harvest this
would be a dire calamity and it
is greatly to be hoped that good
dry weather continues until all
the crops are safely harvested
and stored away.
