AS the result of another wreck on the
Rio GTande road. this time caused by a
collision between two runaway freight
cars and d freight engine, all trains over
the road from the east were several hours
later than usual in arriving in Salt Lake
yesterday.
The smashup occurred late Monday
night between Helper and Castle Gate.
Two box cars on freight train broke
away from their couplings and ran away
down the track. They ended up by crash
ing into a freight engine which was trav-

badly smashed and the engine derailed

erai days.
Only the fortunate fact that the two
runaways had not gained sufficient mo-
mentum averted a serious wreck. West

day night was held up by the wreck
and did not reach here until o'clock yes
terdav afternoon, and No. g. also west

the danger which the storms have en-

The case of Foster Jones. charged by
Oliver McManus with battery, and in
reality the aftermath of the recent race

barely escaped lynching. was the most
important case before Judge Diehl yes
terday afternoon. and developed the

brought about mainly by the complain

lamentably weak and was refusted by
the witness called on his behalf. Taken
all together, the evidence showed that,

to get the worst of it--and that Nc
Manus felt this way about it was shown
in the manner in which he skunk out of
the court room even before Judge DIEM
had rendered his decision.
McManus the colored nan. charged
Jones with having led the mob that at
tackled him following row at the race
track in. which one Myers, a white man,
was stabbed in the face by colOTed man.
McManus on the stand told how he had
been chased by the mob and pulled off
a street car and then beaten and kicked.
Manus was also positive that Jones was
the man who pulled him off the car and
first struck him

that he was sure that Jones instead OF
leading the mob against McManus. had

gree had saved him from being seriously
injured.
Jones own testimony which could nave
been corroborated. was to the effect That
he had not only aided McManus in the
mob fight. but that he had been the

CREATES SENSATION
BY His Appearance at Cincinnati
Hotel, Where the Republicans
Have Taft Headquarters.


One of the . results which the
Foraker disclosures are going to
have on the national campaign is to
increase the difficulty of raising mon
ey for the impoverished republican
Golfers 1t is said on good authority
that the effect is already being felt,
says Cincinnati special to the New
York Sun. Men who were thinking
of putting up under the impress
sion that the public storm against
corporations had about blown over
have been frightened at this new
demonstration and are pushing their
wallets further down into their peck
cts.
But the general effect of the dis
closures as viewed by prominent re-
!publicans is that they are going to
arouse the republicans of the coun-
try from the long sleep which they
have been enjoying since the Taft
nomination. In that respect repub-
lican leaders declare that the Hearst
disclosures are going to do their
cause more good than harm. (
And speaking of Hearst, he was
in Cincinnati yesterday, right in the
Hotel Sinton, the home of the re-
publican leaders. He sauntered into
the hotel lobby about l o'clock in
the\ afternoon. Senator Murray
Crane was buried in big leather
armchair on one side of the lobby
and Senator Dick was in an equally
comfortable place on the other side.
All around were Foraker and Taft
supporters talking only of the Stand
ard Oil disclosures.
There is Hearst" said a newspa-
per man out loud, and the effect was
startling.
Senator Crane wheeled around in
his easy chair and peered over his
back. Senator Dick was so aston
ished that his newspaper dropped
from his hands. All the Foraker
supporters began to feel themselves
to see if they had been hit, and the
hotel bellboys began specializing on
the identity of "the tall Teller wild de
soft hat"
The republicans continued to eye
the big Independence League man
over their newspapers for ten or fif-
teen minutes. Then Mr. Hearst dis
appeared to his room. He was on
his way, he said, from Memphis to
New York to attend the state con-
vention of the independence League,
and he had an hour in Cincinnati be-
fore he could get the Lake Shore
Limited.
