pleased by the tribute paid me by Salt

in my heart have had the kindliest

me has given me anything like as
much pleasure; nothing that could
have been done for me would have
pleased me so much. The battalion

home of Mrs. Belle Guinness being
that of the woman who is charged
with having committed wholesale
murders that would make the crimeC

that of another of Mrs. Guinness vic

Smutzer began work on the farm he
failed on Saturday to discover at least
one additional body Excavations
were made at several points in the
barnyard, but in none OF them was
there indications Of human bones or
flesh.
1t is believed that at least a score
of people have been buried on Mrs.
Guinness farm, and that all We're
murdered by this woman, who seems
to have been the most ferocious Grim.

them and spoke to Cargell's new ac-

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 9.-All eff
forts of the police today to find Jesse
Sharp, hailed by his ten fanatical
followers as a second Messiah. failed
to reveal his movements after yes
terday's bloody fight with the police.
The only. clue so far secured is short
" after the tragedy when he had his
his hair trimmed and his long beard
shaved Off Chief of Police O'Hearn
has issued circulars giving Sharp's
description and offering.a reward for
his canaireas
No other. names have been added
to yesterdays list of deaths. Police
man Michael Mullane, who was the
most seriously hurt, rallied slight
ly early in the day and physicians say
he has chance for recovery.
At the general hospital Louis Pratt
first disciple of Sharp and father of
the girl who was killed is lying on
his cot with his right leg amputated
at the knee and a bullet in his brain.
He said tnat he is divinely guided
and upheld, and is bitter in his de-
nunciation of the police. Regard
ing his adopted faith he has little to
say. Mrs. Pratt and her four sur
viving children are detained at po-
lice headquarters and Mrs. Sharp. is
in Jail. None of them exhibit any
emotion when speaking of the death
of Lulu Pratt, bu' calmly assert it
was Gods will: The police say the
two women and the two oldest girls,
Mary and Lena, will be charged with
murder.
Five residents of the mission in the
North End frequented by the Sharp
followers are being held for investi-
cation.

Train Was Packed and That

Passengers Brought to This

Kept Until a New Train

Northern Pacific North Coast Linz
tied went down a ten-foot embank-
ment half mile this side of McKen-
zie last night while trying to make
up an hour and half of lost time.
So far as could be learned NO one
was killed but twenty-five were seri-
ously injured. a#.1
While the train was speeding along
the rails spread and all the coaches
and sleepers, including the obserya-
ton car, left the track, without any
utldsn jar, ran down and fell orer in
the Mckenzie slough and turned over
on their sides in line just as they had
been on the track.
There was a fearful crashing of
glass and punching up of the passen-
gers, with which the train was filled
to its capacity. Scarcely passenger
escaped more or less injury ana re-
port has it that one man has bled to
death.
The coaches were injured very lit
tie except that their trucks were
wrenched off, but the track was de-
molished for several rods, some of
the rails being thrown many feet from
the track.
The cars being the best and stron-
est made stood the racket well and
owing to the fact that they did not
telescope doubtless one of the worst
wrecks ever reported in this section
was averted.
The wrecker and special train of
coaches went to the scene about /
O'Clock, doctors from Mandan and Drs.
Smyth, Brandt, and Foster of this city
and necessaries for the relief of the
injured being on board.
The passengers were brought to this
city ON the special and quartered
among the hotels and will be sent on
their way as soon as another train
can be made up and sent out The
train came in too late to interview
any of the passengers
A number of the injured were TAX

in the crowd of passengers with BAN
daged heads and bad bruises.
