Obispo Ave more had succumbed to
their terrible wounds. Physicians and
nurses worked over the survivors in
cessantly. Arriving at its destination,
the train was met by score of am
balances and automobiles. and the in
jured were quickly carried to the two
local sanitariums.
The dead were removed in UNDER
takers wagons to a mOrgue.
In the meanwhile the train returning
to this city with its load of dead was
side-tracked at lonely switch for the
passage of other trains. Far out on
the sandy desert, miles from any habi-
tation or from any wire communica-
tion with the outside world, the spec
ial waited for two hours while train
after train of Shriners bound from Los
Angeles to their eastern homes swept
by.
In the darkness the occupants of
these trains did not know that they
We're passing the funeral train of their
brethren. The train was reported due
to arrive in this city at o'clock. At
that hour every dead wagon. together
with many other vehicles. was assem-
bled at the local Southern Pacific sta
ton to transport the bodies to the
morgue. Three local undertaking par
lors were filled with bodies of the VIC
Tins. The work of Identification had
not yet been completed.
Many of the dead were so badly
burned and mutilated as to be almost
unrecognizable. The undertakers'
rooms were beseiged by crowds of
Shriners who We're still in the city.
BY daylight all of the dead had been
identified.
When the relief train arrived at Sat-
ton on the way to the wreck Miss
Maria Fuller. nineteen years of age,
of Los Angeles, jumped on board.
Il want to go with you to the
wreck" she said to DIR. w. A. Taylor,
the Southern Pacific division surgeon,
who had charge of the train.
You cannot CO." replied the sur
geon.
Ten minutes later when the train
was clipping miles at the rate of fifty
an hour, wisp of dark brown hair
blowing above the front car platform
drew the attention of DR.. Taylor and
the conductor. A moment more and
they had dragged the girl from the
tender break-beam of the speeding
engine.

JUSTICE IN IDAHO.

The Evening Times is not disposed
to discuss during a criminal trial the
merits of either side. Opinions
founded on the eX parte statements of
either the prosecution or the defense
are not only likely to be misleading,
but they are bound to be instrumental
in shaping popular prejudice for or
against the defendant which, if the
verdict of the jury and the judgment
of the court founded upon the whole
evidence does not agree Herewith,
gives rise to public clamor that JUS
tice failed and that the court was cor
rupt.
But there is feature of the trial
of Haywood, Pettibone and Meyer in
Idaho which does deserve the sever
est condemnation of every fair mind
ed and justice loving citizen. News
papers in order to make the trial as
spectacular and sensational as posi-
BILE have declared that it was a fight
between labor and capital. In sense
this may be true, but it does not
reach the point where the conviction
or acquittal of the parties charged
with the crime is dependent upon the
success Of either party or faction.
The long, bitter struggle between
the mine owners in Idaho is famil-
lar page of history. The destruction
of the works of some. of the COM
panies which refused to come under
the regulations of the miners unions,
the advent of the soldiery, the bull
pen" where the miners were recon
centrated," the hunting for individ-
uals outside as we'll as inside the
state, the suffering and misery which
the martial law period brought to the
miners and the state in general are
all we'll known facts.
1t is around the death, by an in
fernal machine, of Governor Stuenen-
berg that the interest in the present
trial centers. That he as chief execu-
tive of Idaho at the time of the min
ers' troubles, was largely responsible
for the fight made against them so
far as enforcing law and order was
concerned, is not questioned. Neither
is the fact that he met his death in
the manner indicated
But all these do not prove that the
trial of the men who are accused of
the crime is fight between the two
great Industrial elements of our popu-
4 lation. II the three men who are so
/ charged entered into scheme and
hired another to do the deed, there
can be no question but that they are
accesspries before the fact, and equal
" guilty Of the crime along with the
principal. But this fact must be
proven beyond any reasonable doubt

SIX MONTHS IN THE MINES
Edgar II. Wells Returns From Utah
Mining District-Learned Much
On the Trip.

His wife and three-year-old baby
were with him on the train and es-
capped injury.
1t was some time after the wreck
had occurred before a word of it
reached the outside world. AS soon
as one of the uninjured trainmen
could make his way to the station
word of the wreck was flashed to
railroad headquarters at San Luis
Obispc. Immediately special trains
were arranged for and a corps of ply
sicians and nurses gathered hurriedly
together were quickly on the way to
the wreck. At o'clock the relief
special left this city. 1t made the run

nearly completed by those who had
escaped the disaster unhurt. Twenty
five bodies lay in rows on the sand
beside the track. The injured, many
of them unconscious and dying, were
scattered about the vicinity on piles
of bedding and plush seats brought
from the Pullmans. The more FORUM
ate ones were attempting to give sue

mined at once to remove the injured

MONDAY EVENING, NAY Is, 1907.

Suffice to say that 1t will take much
more than the confession of the sup
posed assassin himself to establish
this sufficiently strong for the jury
to find a verdict upon it or for the
court to sustain verdict even should
one be found. 1t is argued that the
evidence of detectives will be relied
upon to corroborate this confession.
But this class of witnesses is justly
held in such ill repute by courts and
juries that even they must be cor
roborated before their testimony is
recognized as worthy of serious at
tention.
An acquittal of the defendants
would not therefore prove that labor
had secured a verdict. 1t would
merely prove that under the princi-
pies of the criminal law of this coun-
try the state had failed to prove the
men guilty of the crime charged. If
they did not conspire with and en-
ploy the man who did the specific
act, they should be acquitted, not be-
cause they belong to any particular
organization or because they repre-
sent an order which might have re-
ceived injustice at the hands of the
Idaho mine owners, but because they
were innocent of the crime. If they
did engage in the scheme of having
Steunenberg assassinated, they are
guilty of murder and should be pun
ished accordingly.
They are entitled to every proper
means of defense but nothing more.
To pretend that they are martyrs is
to admit the weakness of the justice
of their cause. If they are innocent
they will have little trouble in es-
tablishing the same. If they do es-
tablish this innocence they should be
set free. They will be set free. Their
freedom will be merely justice, not
victory of the miners union over
law and order, and right thinking
men will so consider it. To admit
otherwise would be to declare that
anarchy and lawlessness are the
things for which the labor world is
striving-a libel upon the patriotism
and honesty of every man who be-
lieves in such organizations from
principle.
Likewise should capital set up the
contention that the conviction of
these men, if they are innocent. is its
victory, it would only prove that the
greed and corruption of the moneyed
interests had reached such point
that the lives of innocent men were
demanded as a means of the per-
petuation of it's grasp upon the labor
world, and it would prove that it was
indeed a dangerous thing for the lib
erty Of the people and the safety of
society and the body polite.
Until the results of the trial are
known it is better to consider the
matter as an effort to arrive at the
truth Of the guilt or innocence of the
prisoners at the bar and to determine
the justice of their cause.

Boat Upsets.

Harry Markham, Lloyd Day and
Robert Markham had a thrilling
experience last week that they do
not care to have repeated. They
attempted to cross the South Fork
of the Clearwater river, near the
Matt Gilbert placer claims, and
were caught in the current which
is very swift at this time of the
year. The boat was overturned
and the occupants washed down
the stream. Harry Markham clung
to the boat and Day and Robert
Markham were carried for some
distance down the river but the
current fortunately carried them
to the bank Of the river where they
seized the branches of some alder
bushes and pulled themselves to
the shore. Harry Markham held
to the boat and was carried down
stream several hundred yards IN.
til shallow water was reached at q
place where the river is very wide
and he waded ashore. The Clear
water is very high and rising
rapidly.

Activity at Gilbert Placers.

Charles Thompson was in the
city last Friday and Saturday from

company have put in garden and
will raise their own vegetables.
One mile OF the fiume has been
completed and four more miles re-
main to be completed this month.
The flume is eighteen inches deep
and four feet wide, and has con-
siderable grade which enables it to
carry a large volume of water.
The following well known miners
are part of the force now at work
for the Gilbert company: G. s.
Thompson, James Briscoe, Robert
Mcconnell, French Jarrett, Charles
Donnely, Charles Brown, J. Brown,
Hans Hanson and Nels Sorenson.
The fnme is said to be the best
constructed in this county. Sup.
plies for several months were taken
in last Friday. The sawmill started
up yesterday.
