man Cars More Than Half We're
Injured and One May Die
Cause of Accident Is Yet
Undetermined.

Greenwich, Conn, July 16.-The
White Mountain express on the New

when the coach toppled over and she
was crushed to death. She was II
years old and was en- route with her
mother, the widow of DR.. c. NJ Arm
strong, to New Hampshire summer
resort.
The cause of the accident is not
fixed out an inspection of the bridge
shows the iron ground into pieces.
one girder rail alone prevented the
entire train from being ditched. The
train was running fifty miles an hour
as it does not stop here, and the
coaches were dragged a considerable
distance after leaving the rails before
topplng over.
OF over a hundred passengers in
the Pullmans more than half sustain
ed injuries. Mrs Samuel Gibberson
of Brooklyn is most seriously hurt and
she may die.

town, Fritz Fluhrer by name. mar
ried a widow OF 81 named Garrecht.
who had d daughter IS years old,
Madeleine Garrecht. His father,
Georges Fluhrer, a widower Of 6l.

love with Madeleine Garrecht and
married her; SO that. at one and the
same time. Frau Fritz Fluhrer be-
came daughter-in-law and mother-in-
law Of Georges Fluhrer.
But things did not end there.
Georges Fluhrer had a son. Hans, who
Is at once brother to Fritz Fluhrer
and his grandson through Madeline
Garrecht, his stepdaughter. To make
confusion worse confounded, Frau
Fritz Fluhrcr also had a son. Johann,
and so Fritz Fluhrer became brother

NAVAJO INDIANS ARE
GATHERING IN THE
MOUNTAINS
Force OF Men l.500 Strong
Are Said to be Preparing
to Resist Troops.
MORE SOLDIERS
SENT FROM FORTS

a private telegram received here
this morning from Holbrook, Ariz.,
confirms the report that government
troops are moving on the Navajo res
ervation from Fort Apache and Fort
Wingate and it is said that more will
be detached from forts in southern
Arizona. The troops from the latter
place are to be dispatched by rail to
either Holbrook or Gallup.
The Navajos are gathering In the
mountains in northern Arizona ana
southern Utah near the northwestern
corner of New Mexico. and are said
to be 1900 strong, mostly young
men.
While various theories are present
ed as to the cause of The uprising, II
an uprising it is, the principal reason
is believed to be the action of the
government in alloting lands. The In
lians are not satisfied with recent al
lotments made by the government
and, being in a sullen mood have
killed several white men within the
past three months.
Another theory presented Is that
the Indians are opposed to having
government surveyors making a map
of their land. This theory, however,
is considered absurd, as many of the
young men on the reservation are ed
ucated
Representatives Of the government
say that there is no trouble among
the Navaios but that the troops are
being dispatched on a practice march
