SCENE OF WRECK
Superintendent Daley Says
Official Inquiry win Fix
Responsibility.
PASSENGERS STATEMENT
SAYS TRAIN ORDER DID NOT PRO-
VIDE FOR THE SPECIAL.

Superintendent J. c. Daley returned
last. evening from the scene of the
wreck Saturday morning on the Rio
Grande near Whitehead. Utah Nj
Daley said large crew was busy with
the Wreckage at the time he left, and
it was expected that the line would be
clear last night. He said that pending
an official inquiry to be conducted
within a few days, he preferred to make
no statement as to the responsibility for
the wreck. He also remarked that En-
gineer Houston and Brakeman Burke,
the two injured trainmen, who are in a
hospital at Grand Junction, are doing
well.
Among the Elks who were i'm the
wreck were DIT. J. NJ. DOdd of Ashland
and NJ. +. Dillon of Ashland, Wis. Mr..
Dillon, who is an attorney, said the
claim agent of the railroad made ex-
traOTdinary efforts to settle on the spot
an claims for damages.

the freight was moving said Mr.. Dill

The wreck. When we arrived i'm Grand
Junction we found the Pittsburg special
ahead of us. At that point the dis
Sleepers were hooked onto the Pittsburg
train. The Pittsburg people complained
that they had paid for an exclusive spe-
cial and insisted on our cars being cut
out. This was done and we were made
up again as a special train. 1t is evi-
dent that the train orders were not al
tered 20 conform to this arrangement.

it was. the wreckagc from the front end

the side of the car and pushed away

seugers made their exit from the car in
an orderly manner and accepted the sit

Story of Jim Leary's Goats

There are many things required for the
complete equipment Of a first-class
modern stOckyards. Among these many
things are some that are strange and
curious and purposeless in the eyes of the
uninitiaJed. 1t is probably not generally
known that one of the chief assets of a
stockyards are Angora goats. These
quaint masses Of hair are not attached
to the stOckyard as an ornament. They
are the busiest workers in all the many
that are engaged in keeping things NOV
ing.
Why is the Angora goat? Well, an An
CORA goat can load more sheep into rail-
road cars in half a day than half dozen
men and a dozen dogs. And they do il
50 neatly and easily that one wouldn't
think they were working at all. They
have a system that is all their own. and
they work that spstem to a standstiI.
Out at the Union stOCkyaFds north Of
the city there are three Angoras that
stand at the head of the class as sheep
handlers. They are Pat, Nike and a

About the funniest experience we ever
mad, said Mr.. Leary, occurred couple

goats here in Salt Lake that We called
Joe and Ay. When we began loading at

for them The boys loaded them into the
baggage car. assuring the baggageman
that they were as gentle as any dog, and
that they would give not the slightest

BABE DIES FROM BURNS,
MOTHER IS IMPROVING

The 5-mOnths-old baby Of Mrs. Peter
Afenberg OF $50 South Ninth East
street, who was burned with the mother
while the latter was preparing some
milk Saturday. died yesterday after
noon as the result of its injuries. The
mother thought at first to be the more
seriously injured of the two, is improv-
ing and probably viii recover. DR..
Charles w. Stewart is attending her.
At the time of the accident the mother
was heating milk for the infant. After
placing the pail on the stove she struck
a match to light the burner. In some
manner she accidentally brushed it
against the dress of the infant and a
blaze Immediately followed. In trying
to save the baby the mother also was
seriously burned.
A private safe may be rented in the
fire and burglar proof vault of the Salt

IRON AND STEEL TRADE.
Greater Demand for Pig and Larger
Shipments.

New York July u.-Numerous small
sales of foundry iron. ggregating 10000
tons. have followed heavy contracts
placed by large consumers.
The greater demand for pig iron, larger
shipments and heavier melting, together
with the smaller output by merchant fur
naces. has caused some reduction in
stocks and assisted the advance. 1t is
estimated that the output of all kinds of
pig iron during the first half of the year
was slightly under 100000 tons The
activity Of the furnaces at the steel works
has been mainly responsible for the large
increase in production during the last few
months and the country is now producing
iron at the rate of 24,O0900G tons annually.
Rail contracts last week aggregated
only 20,00O tons and there are inquiries in
the market for $1,000 tons

Mr.. Leary used to ride the range down

he was COW puncher.
Talking about goats said he, we

which provided them with the greater
part of their food supply They drank
the milk and killed the kids for their
meat.
Every morning after the goats had
been given the scraps from the breakfast
table they were sent into the higher
ground in charge of a dog. Sometimes
there would be two dogs, but generally
only one. The dogs herded the goats as
they herd sheep.
We'll, it was sport for US to mix three
or four herds of goats into one big bunch,
and then sit off on our horses to watch
the dogs cut them out. In and out the
dogs worked. chasing the goats to the
outer edge OF the circle. If any Of them
was stubborn. the dog pounced upon him
and spared him not a bit CONQUERED the

IN about an hour the dogs had those
goats separated into different bands and

couldn't tell whether they were the same
goats that were under the dogs care be-
