The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-09-14

Roscoe M. Drumheller will have
charge of the democratic campaign in
Walla Walla county this fall, this
popular young democrat having been
chosen chairman of the newly elected
county central committee, at the first
meeting of the committee held Satur
day night in the offices of Garrecht,
Dunphy & Evans. Other officers
chosen by the new committee were: !:
John H. Morrow, of Waitsburg, vice
chairman; Sdth Maxwell, of Walla
Walla, secretary and George B. Day,
of Walla Walla, treasurer.
1t was decided to prosecute an ac-
tive campaign for the entire national,
state and county tickets, and to this
end Chairman Drumheller today ar
ranged to open headquarters, securing
the old Commercial club rooms in the
Ransom building for that purpose. One
of the methods of campaigning will be
to hold precinct meetings, which, it is
expected, will serve to arouse interest
on the part of the rank and file of
the local democracy. The old Com
mercial club rooms are considered as
being particularly adapted to the
holding of small meetings of this kind
George B. Day will be in charge OF
the headquarters which will be opened
tomorrow.

CHICAGO, Ills. Sept. 14.-Mrs. Es-
ther HecOX of Chicago and one uniden-
titled person are dead. three are dy-
ing and forty were seriously injured
as a result of collision before mid
night last night between a theater
train and an excursion train on the
Lake Shore road at Chesterton Ind.
All the injured We're on the excursion
train. which was on siding waiting
for the other train to pass. The loco
motive of the theater train plOWed
through the rear coach of the eXcur-
sion train. Passengers were pinned
to the wreckage. There was dense
fog at the time. 1t is supposed the
switch was not closed after the eX-
cursion train went on the siding.
Lake Shore officials gave out a
statement declaring the wreck was
caused by smoke sweeping over the
country from Wisconsin forest fires,
the signal so that the en-
gineer couldn't see it.
