the California state association recent
ly celebrated the beauties of the Pa
cific coast and sounded the alarm of
possible wars They demanded the re-
tention of battleships in Pacific waters
and descanted on the future greatness
of the far west. John Barrett was
postmaster. There were speeches by
Congressman Ellis, Hawley and Cush-
man and California Congressman
Kahn and Engelbright, Colonel
Straight, Eugene and ]. l.. Garner.
From the very beginning war was
the dominant note. Preparedness for
hostilities was insisted upon, the rights
of the Pacific coast being set up as
paramount in view OF the certainty
that the Pacific ocean this time would
be the scene of greater development
of commercial activity. The arrival OF
the fleet in Pacific waters was the
subject of many eloquent expressions

BLEW-UP THE TRAIN
DASTARDLY deed PERPETUAL
ted AT BUTTE.
Two Engineers Killed and One Fire
man Fatally Injured-Two Young
Men Suspected of the Crime-$50o0
Reward Has Been Offered for Guilty
Person or Persons.

Butte, Mont, May 3.-Youthful van
having dynamited the Overland Bur-
lington Flyer Friday night as it was
pulling into Butte. Charles Busy and
Charles King were killed and Fireman
George Ehle fatally injured.
The names of two young men are
freely mentioned by the officers as
the probable train wreckers. The fact
that they ran away from their homes
and that they recently stole a box Of
dynamite caps is being linked in the
chain of evidence to connect them
with the case The officers are now
busily searching every cabin and
dugout for the boys within a radius of
10 miles.
1t is the belief of the local authorities
that the dastardly deed was perpe-
trated, not with any desire for re-
venge or loot, but simply for the ex-
element that the wreck would create.
The deed is characterized by railroad
men as the most fiendish in the history
of western railroading. Apparently the
perpetrators had planned to explode
the dynamite under the coaches as
they were passing, but the jar of the
engines exploded the charge prema-
turely, or else the fuse was too short
The force of the explosion was terrific,
being felt all over the lower portion
of the city in the immediate vicinity of
the wreck. A rancher living close to
the track was thrown from his bed.
Fish are scattered all over the wreck
from the smashing of a fish car i'm
mediately following the engines. This
car was reduced to simply a gigantic
pile of kindling wood, bearing no SEM
blance to a car.
Engineer Bussy's body was rammed
into the ground so hard that it was
necessary to dig it out with shovels.
After hearing the reports of the
men who had examined the wreck and
making a thorough investigation him
self GOodell stated that the wreck was
undoubtedly due to the work OF dyna-
miters and made the offer Of $4,000 re-
ward.
A big, square hole was cut in the
end of the mail car where King, the
man who was stealing a ride, was
virtually cut out The end OF the
mail car was jammed against the end
of the coal car, and here the axes We're
used 10 cut out the unfortunate man
He suffered terribly while the train
crew worked desperately 10 release

this morning showed how he had beer

Whisky was given him every few
minutes. One Of his legs was crushed
fat but the man did not lose con
seriousness and never uttered a or,

the hospital.

STORM PLAYS A QUEER PRANK
Twisted All Four Masts Of Schooner
James 3. Drake.

The four-masted schooner James B..
Drake is at McPhee's shipyard In Bos
ton undergoing repairs for one of the
most peculiar accidents in the history
OF navigation.
While cruising In southern waters
the schooner was caught In cyclonic
storm which revolved around the yes
sci In such a manner that all four OF
her masts were twisted in their steps.
When the ship carpenters invesugat-
ed the schooner preparatory to begin
ming their work they could scarcely
believe their eyes. Plainly some ro-
tary motion of wind and storm had
caught the poles in a leverage, fore
ing them just half way around. No
explanation is offered for the masts
not coming out of the vessel. All four
are standing and have been carrying
sail all the way to port. No other dam
age was received during the storm
and although the masts were turned
they were not injured in the least.
The accident is the first of its kind
in the memories of the Oldest navigat
ors about the harbor. They say that
of all the freaky gales reported Of the
tropics this is the strangest, and many
refused to believe the story until they
had visited the yard and viewed the
schooner themselves. -Boston Tran
script.
