LIANT PURSUIT OF WILD BOX
CAR ON THE 500, BUT THE
WIND KEPT THE CAR FAR IN
THE LEAD.

Yesterday additional details of
the thrilling ride 500 employe
named Percy Simpson had on a run
away box car Tuesday evening made
the story still more interesting.
1t appears that the train crew were
switching at Wilton when the box
car ran off the siding onto the main
line with Percy Simpson, brake
man, on top of it. The brake shaft
had been bent so that it would not
permit the chain to be wound up and
he could do nothing but stand on
the car and enjoy the ride, believ-
ing the engine, which had set out in
pursuit, would catch up with and Sc
cure the car. -. .-,ss.s z
A short distance out of Wilton the
hand car was met with and wreck
was certain, apparently, but the lit
tie car stayed on the track and was
pushed along, adding immensely to
the danger of the car. being ditch

While going at a terrific rate of
speed the brakeman had the hardi-
hood to climb down the end of the
box car to the hand car where he
secured a pick handle and then
scrambled back on top Of the wildly
swaying box. Even with this lever
he was unable to wind up the brake,
and had to lie down on the car which
by that time was going mile a min
ute. With throttle wide open the
big engine tore down the track after
the runaway, but not until the hill
at Arnold was encountered and stop

The Mighty Power Of Mi-o.na.

The Mighty Power of NI-o-na.
Mi-o-na, that extraordinary and
perfect stomach tonic, will relieve
dyspepsia in twenty-four hours.
1t will cure and is guaranteed by
Lenhart Drug Co., to the readers
of the Tribune, to cure the most
pitiful cases of dyspepsia, if taken
according to directions.
Mi-o-na tablets not only cure dys-
pepsia, but all stomach disturbances,
such as vomiting of pregnancy, sea
or car sickness after excessive in
diligence.
Mona cures by Strengthening
and invigorating the fiabby stomach
walls, and after course of Mi-o-na
treatment, constipation, if there is
any, will entirely disappear.
Read this from the president of
New York corporation:
81 have been a terrible sufferer
from dyspepsia and gastritis for two
years. The most eminent physicians
prescribed for me with no effect. I
have been absolutely cured by your
Mona tablets. The first one gave
me relief almost incredible. -
Herbert H. Taylor, sol West lab ST.,
New York City.
Mona is most economical treat
ment-a large box of tablets only
costs SO cents at Lenhart Drug Co.,
and the dyspeptic, nervous or other
wise, who does not give them a trial
is losing an opportunity to regain
health. w. -.>"@

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
REFUSE TO ALLOW PERSONAL GRIEVANCES IN LEWISTON TO
CONTROL PROCEEDINGS OF COUNTY CoNvENTIoH-THoMp.
SON WILL BE NAMED TO RE PRESENT HIS PRECINCT DEL
EGATIoN SENT TO BOISE CONVENTION

Based upon an issue involving
fairness and justice to all and the
best interests of the republican par
ty in Nez Perze county, G. w.
Thompson, supported by strong del
egations from all sections of the
county, scored victory In the re-
publican county convention today.
The issue was brought before the
convention in the form OF a resolu-
tion intended to keep Mr.. Thompson
from attending the state conven-
tions. The introduction OF the res
olution was the signal for mobiliz-
ing the strength of the party lead
ers. and after a lengthy debate In
which large number participated
the issue was brought to a vote and
the resolution was tabled by vote
of "a to "a.
The view held by delegates from
all sections OF the county that lead
ers of the reported independent
--or"-ort were endeavoring to drag
the entire convention into personal
fight existing m Lewiston, and as
suggested bv ]. c. Bullock Of Oro-
fino the delegates believed 1t was a
matter that should be determined in
Lewiston and should not be made an
issre in the entire county.
The question of selecting dele
gates to the state convention was
made by the precincts and CON-
mittee composed Of w. L. Lyons. w.
A. White, w. J. Henderson, Chaun-
cey Wallace, r. J. Anderson. George

number of delegates to entitle the

precinct TO an individual delegate.
Following the passing OF the mo-
ton providing for the appointment
of the delegates the fight Of the
convention was precipitated. by a
resolution introduced by Charles
Hill Of Leland which provided for
the elimination of so-called bosses or
political leaders from the list of del
egates to he sent to the state con-
vention. After the resolution was
read and motion offered to adopt 1t
motion to table was offered, which
prevailed by vote of 81 to "a.
The debate on the resolution and
the unfairness 1t suggested was par
ticipated In by G. s. Martin of Voll-
mer. A. A. Alvord of Nezperce, Mr..
Claybaugh of Bedrock, ]. s. McDon-
aid of Vollmer and G. w. Thompson
The resolution was supported on tie
floor by Charles Hill, S. d. White
John Green, C. H. Lingenfe,ter and
George e. Crum.

LA PORTE. Ind, May 1.-THE
shed at the Guinness farm, contain
Ing the bodies of victims, was
broken into today and the bodies
seriously disturbed.
Additional light on the methods
OF how the Guinness woman caused
the death Of persons who are sup
posed to have fallen victims to her
lust for gold was shed today by Asa
X. Helgelin. brother Of Andrew Hell
gelin of Mansfield. 8. D., whose dis
membered corpse was among the
nine found on the farm.
Helgelin told the coroner that not
only had his brother been in COM
munication with the woman. but
she had written to him after An
drew disappeared in an attempt to
induce him to visit this city. She
advised him to sell his brothers
stock and come to La Porte. "and
we will hunt for your brother to-
gether." The letters are written in
Norwegian and only partially trans
lated.
Several circumstances indicating
that Roy Lamphert. the man arrest
ed for murder in connection with
the incarceration of Mrs. Guinness
and children, had some knowledge
of her crimes have developed. Bes-
sic Cnkling, a young woman resid-
ing in Michigan City, friend Of
Lamphert. has been arrested and Is
being held awaiting the action OF
the grand jury.
It is alleged she stated to Chief
smulzer that Lamphert told her
Mrs. Guinness "had to be good to
him, as he knew enough to send her
to the gallows."
That more bodies will be found is
the firm belief of the ohicers. That
have the mystery of five trunks
shipped from Chicago to the GUM
nes farm to solve. These trunks all
arrived in La Porte during the. last
four months, and 1t is probable that
they contained human badies.
1t is the opinion of the authorities
that Mrs. Guinness had accomplices
in Chicago and that after prospec-
tive victims had been lured to that
city to be robbed and murdered their
bodies were shipped to this city IN
order to keep the Chicago police
from gaining knowledge OF the
| crime.
Anton Olson Of Highlands, Ind
father of Jennie Olson, who was
adopted by Mrs. Guinness. today
identified the body as that of his
daughter. An autopsy of the bodies
of two men. one girl and two chill
dren unearthed yesterday showed
that all had been murdered.
