Helena, Sept. 25.-From 25 to 40
people are killed and as many or more
injured as the result of a wreck on
the Northern Pacific at Young's Point
this morning.
Train No. 16, the east bound pas
senger leaving Helena at midnight,
collided with "a west bound freight
at Young's Point
The trains were running in a heavy
snow storm, on account of which the
engineer on the freight was unable to
make the other engineer see him.
When the trains struck the express
car telescoped into the smoker, where
most of tn fatalities occurred. One
report says that 40 people were killed,
another estimate is 25 dead and even
more injured.
Engineer Bessinger of the passen-
ger, was injured and his fireman, Ora
Babcock, killed outright.
Reports are very meagre, as the
wires are badly crippled on account
of the accident and the storm.

conference with Col. Bryan, Cover
nor Haskell gave out statement TO
the press in which he denies the
charges of President Roosevelts let
ter.
He declares that the president drop
ped the statements made i'm the first
declaration which drew forth Mr..
Bryans telegram because he knew
they were "untruthful" and took up
other charges as in the letter publish
ed yesterday. These Governor Has
k6ll answers as follows:
He declares that the Prairie Oil
company had been given a, franchise
by the national government before the
territory was admitted as state
and that that was fastened upon Ok
lahoma In the statehood bill. That
Haskell defeated the company's at
tempt to extend tina franchise to in
Clude gas wells. That Roosevelts
secretary of interior then granted that
necessary franchise to the company.
He declares that the veto of the
child labor bill was approved by the
labor unions of the state and because
the bill was too broad in its power.

New York. Sept. 25.-William r.
Hearst continued his attacks on re-

ard Oil, one being addressed to Nc
Laurin, and the other to Archbold
from McLaurin In this letter the
writer declared that he could beat
Tillman if generously supported.
Hearst again renewed his attack
upon Haskell, whom he charged with
being not only the tool of the Stand
ard Oil but promoter of crooked rail-
roads and the organizer of the steel
trust
In support of this last charge he
read from what he declared were
court records of a suit alleged to have
been brough by Haskelrs law part
ner John p. Bailey of Ohio, against
the Illinois steel company and the
Federal Steel company for services
alleged to have been rendered by
Haskell as attorney and organizer.

ing Trip in Their Possession-Ac-
completes In America.

Bayonne, France, Sept 25.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt would have met death
in the African jungles not at the
hands of the natives, but by the plot
of the international organization had
not the authorities of several coun-
tries simultaneously uncovered the
plan through which they were to op-
crate.
Just what the anarchists had plan
ned is not definitely know, bnt in
Switzerland and Spain incidents of
the past few days have developed
unquestionable evidence Of such a
scheme.
A trace Of the plot was uncovered
first at Madrid while the officers
were examining Cantarava, the Span
ish anarchist, who has been recently
under suspicion Of having planned
the death Of Spain's sovereign. From
Canatrava the secret service learned
enough to convince them some plan
against Roosevelt was in existence.
1t was not until the arrest Of two
Italian anarchists at Sessa Wednes-
day. however, that the police had a
definite idea of the direction from
which the menace would come. These
anarchists were found to have in their
possession the most definite informa-
ton possible regarding Roosevelts
proposed trip. The character of the
papers found shows that the suspects
must have had an American accom-
plice. They are being held for more
complete evidence.

occasion when Walla Walla enter
tanned the Seattle business men who
visited this city to advertise the eX-

As the guests entered the spacious
rooms Of the Commercial club, Secre-
tary Robert II. Johnson of the Walla
Wala County aFir association, in full
dress, accompanied by a coy and
blushing vision attired in a superb
directoire gown, met them at the land
ing, and the fair one pinned a bou-
quet of fragrant flowers on the laped
of each coat
1t was a feature of the program
which had been kept on the quiet, but
no little amount of effective .adVer-
tisng was accomplished, especially by
the damsel i'm the directoire, and the
pink stockings which peeped allur-
ingly from between the divisions of
the close fitting skirt, After having
given all of the visitors one of the
little tokens, Secretary Johnson and
his partner strolled leisurely through
the club rooms, greeting acquaintances
and making new ones, That was not
n difficult task, however, for that di-
rectoire gown, the first, apparently,
that had come under the observation
of either visitors or local business
men, acted as a magnet, and the crowd
of devotees became so large that Sec
retary johnson, fearing he might lose
his companion, decided that discretion
was the better part of valor, diplomat
ically bowed himself and the direc-

/ believed ii.g Jury has nearly complet.
ed its task of investigating the alleg.
ed violations of the prohibition law
and that it will soon be ready to re-
port on these.
Judging by reports from other places
( it is evident that the eyes of the state
are upon the Umatilla county grand
jury this week and the greatest inter-
est is being manifested in its proba-
BILE action upon the liquor cases.
The time of the court has been
consumed today in the trial of the
case of Mrs. Nose Taylor against her

dictment returned by the district at

was taken away from
the district attorney and lodged eX-
in the grand jury. 1t is,
therefore, held by Bucks attorney that
Buck should have been reindicted by

The point in question is one never

will be argued Monday morning.
If overruled by Judge Bean 1t will be
appealed to the supreme court for a
