AUTO KILLS ONE
 AND HURTS SIX

Seattle, May 28--Mrs. Amanda O. Lengui, wealthy woman of New York, was instantly killed and six persons were more or less in- jured by the capsizing of an automo- bile at Magnolia bluff this morning. The machine is owned by M. E.Moses who was taking the party for sight seeing ride.
 The stretch of road along Magnolia bluff is not safe for fast driving but as near as can be learned tn he machine was travelling at rapid rate, None of the victims is in condition to give a clear account of the accident, but it is believed that the machine became unmansgable by reason of striking some inequality in the road bed and plunged over the bluff.
 The body of Mrs. Lengui was taken to the morgue and the other victims are in hospitals. Just how seriously they are hurt cannot be determined q for day or so.

Loss Fully $1,OOO,0OO

Dallas, Texas, May 26-The waters of Trinity river are subsiding and it is the present belief that the worst of the flood that has devasted the great er portion of the country in the vicin- ity of Fort Worth is past. So far the reported loss of life remains at the figure first given, seven residents of Fort Worth.
 It will be impossible to resume rail road traffic in the country north of Fort Worth for several days. The river is receding rapidly but so great was it force that it swept railroad tracks many yards from the right of way and in many cases has com pletely destroyed the grade. The property loss will exceed $1 1000, ,OOO.

MORE DYNAMITE
 FOR GALLAGHER

Oakland, May 27-For the second time within q month dynamite has been used to seek revenge on James Gallagher, formerly one of the San Francisco supervisors and at present the chief witness for the prose cution in the graft cases. At midnight last night persons believed to be the same making the first attempt, dynamited three houses owned in this city by Gallagher, wrecking the structure and causing money loss of fully $25, 1000.
 All of the houses were vacant and this fact emphasizes the fact that the plotters, having failed to frighten Gallagher by an attempt on his life arc bent on trying to force him to withdraw his aid from the prescott tion by letting him know that neither his life or his property will be safe unless he does. The houses wrecked last night are in different parts of the city and as all were dynamitcd at nearly the same moment it is assured that the same motive prompted each crime.
 As is the case with the perpetrators of the first outrage, the police are at loss for cleW but instructions have been issued from headquarters both in this city and in San Francisco to, if necessary, detail to the case every plain clothes man in service.

P0RTLAND'S WIRELESS
 WORKS IN FINE FORM

The wireless apparatus on the steamship Portland is working in fine form according to Arthur Sullivan, the operator. Mir. Sullivan said yes terday that on this trip up he was able to talk with the station at Sitka for about two hours but after that he was unable to get the station. In the opinion of MT. Sullivan the altitude of the mountains between the town and vessels passing on the outside is too high for the wireless. This altitude is about 2, 400 feet.
 On the last trip of the Portland to Seattle conversation with the steam ship Bertha of the same line was car. ried on for seven hours.

BAD TRAILS RETARD
 MINING OPERATIONS

Dick Gclinoau and Joe Bell came in from the Kotsina country last night and report the trail as something fierce on account of the deep, soft snow. The hill trail around Keystone canyon is almost impossible except early in the morning when the snow is fairly hard. The snow is deep nearly all the way to Beaver Dam. Beyond that place it is nearly gone leaving mud for substitute.
 The mushers estimate that it will be three weeks before horses can be used on the trail.
 Mining work had scarely started in the Kotsina country when Gelineau and Bell left there. Gray and La- throp had just begun but on account of the snow and bad condition of the trail general operations will not be in progress before tho middle of June.

 Standridge had made only slight wounds when discovered and the knife taken from him He expressed s preference to dying rather than to be taken back to the penitentiary to serve out his sentence
 If Standridge enters the peniten- tiary with this determination the au- thorities are of the Opinio' that they will be forced to kill him within a very short while to prevent his es- cape.
 He cannot be kept inside the peui- tertiary, as he is sucn a dangerous man that he must be carefully guard- ed, and even then he makes efforts to dig out of his cell It is thought that Standridge will be returned to the penitenitary for the officials to worry over by the last of this week unless his wounds prove more serions than was at first supposed.
