TRAN
is WRECKED
While Aiding Refugees
and Nineteen are
Killed.

APENA (Mich), Oct. 17.-Fifteen
people lost their lives last night in
the burning Of the Detroit & Macki-
nav railway relief train, which was
carrying the inhabitants of the little
village of Metz, % miles north of
here, to safety from forest fires,
which were sweeping away their
homes.
The ill-fated train was ditched by
spreading rails at Nowici siding, a
few miles south Of Metz, and the ter
rified refugees were forced to aban-
bon the cars and rush for safety
either down the track with burning
forests on either side or into the
plowed fields near the siding.
Eleven of the victims were women
and children who were unable to es-
cape quickly enough from the gon-
dola car which they were occupying.
Their charred bodies were found
there today when rescuers reached
the scene.
Two of the men victims were mem.
bers of the train crew. Four add
tional fatalities occurred in the neigh
borhood of the wreck last night.

on the Trusts

RENO. Oct. 17.-Senator Dolliver
of Iowa declared last night before
an audience that God made the trusts
not man, and that God will be respon
sible for their regulation.
Senator bolivar said in part:
TRUSTS are governed, not by any
statute, but by the laws of God made
for the protection of his own people
The laws of God are equal to the task
of regulating the growth of the
trusts
Citing the law of maximum con-
sumption, Dolliver said that it was
to the interest of the trusts to make
prices low so that consumption
would be increased and the profits
thereof with the reduction of the
price.

many Democrats stayed at home in
this state four years ago, and the
very radical element in the party,

as a rebuke.
"All that is changed this year.

Old-Time Nevadans are With Him

Newcomers from Colorado

Liked Him.

RENO, Oct. II. - Judge Somers,
Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee, returned today
from visit to the southern part Oh
the state. In his opinion Bryan will
carry Nevada by big percentage.
II have visited all of the most pop

view with the Nevada Mining News,
"and In every quarter | found the
Bryan sentiment Overwhelmingly
strong. estimate that the vote of
thu state this year will be in the neigh
borhood of 10000. and l figure that
Bryan will have a majority Of more
than 5000 of this amount.
II furthermore believe that he will
carry every county In the state. The
old sentimental feelings that has ex-
listed In the hearts Of the older resi-
dents Of Nevada since he first ran in
1896. when they gave him six out OF
every seven votes cast, still exists.

or course, the silver question is no

use of the campaign, but the miners
feel that Bryan was their friend In
those times and they like him just
as well now. Besides that they rea-
llze the value OF having an admins
tration In power that Is friendly to
silver and friendly to the West, and
they recognize that Bryan Is the one
candidate who fills the bill in these
regards.
"rhe new population, which has
come In since the discovery of Tono-
pah, and which has doubled the vot-
ing strength Of the state, since 1900,
is for the greater part made up OF
men friendly to Bryan. The explana-
tion Is simple; they come from min
ing states like Colorado aud Montana
where the name of the great com.
moner was as much of thing to con-
lure with In 1896 as 1t was in Nevada,
and the same old feeling Of conf
dence and friendship towards him ex-
