There is a feud between two Gyp-

legged kidnapping of thirteen-year-old
Amelia Johnson from her father
Ephram Johnson, in Elizabeth. N. j.,

are under arrest, and may be deport-
ed. They were arrested when they
arrived in Chicago presumably TO aid
Johnson in getting his daughter
back.
Demetro's nomads informed the
authorities that the Georges were
"smuggled in from Canada after be-
ing denied admission by way of De-
troit."
The Gypsey girls repeated on the
stand before Judge Beitler that she
did not want to return to her faith
er, but preferred to live with the
Demetres because she loved to travel.
Demetro declared that his son was
Amelia's husband and that the girls
father had been paid $1,000 for the
bride. He said $400 was spent for
a bridal feast. The girl and boy
were held to the juvenile court.

ing held in a siding.
The train Is now burning despite
efforts to extinguish the flames. The

and 1t is reported that others are
also missing.
II Is reported that the telegraph
operator at Lind received orders to
hold the helper on siding, but
according to the meager accounts.
obtainable the engineer, who is miss
ing, probably misunderstood orders
with the result that the passenger
and helper crashed together al high
speed. Every car was derailed ana
the fire which followed is reported
to be consuming the entire train.
a dispatch from Spokane says
three trainment are dead, two others
fatally injured and five of the six
cars on a Great Northern passenger
train dest royed by fire, but every
passenger is safe as the result OF a
wreck.
The dead are the engineer and
fireman of the passenger train and
the mail clerk. The engineer and
fireman on the wild engine are prob
ably fatally injured.
The Great Northern train from
the coast was travelling over the
Northern Pacific track on account
of the foods on the Great Northern.
line. 1t was due in'lLind shortly
after l o'clock Thursday morning.
The wild engine started west and
no sooner had it left the station than
the operator knew that terrible
mistake had been made, but had
no means of correcting it. -.
A mile from Lind the engine and
passenger train came in collision.
According to Engineer Rush, who
had pulled the train to Prosser, but
who was riding on the train from
that point as a passenger, every pas
senger escaped unscathed except one,
who was slightly injured.

ENDS HER OWN LIFE
YOUNG LADY browns HERSELF
IN AN OLD QUARRY.
Threw Herself Into Pool Which
Marks Spot Whence Came State
House Granite.

The State says floating in the wa
ter of the "blue rock hole" as the
third of the quarries between the
Olympia and CRANKY villages Is
called, q dead body identified later
as that OF Miss Sallie Ethel German,
was found Thursday shortly before
2 o'clock.
Elliott Wooten, a motormsn In the
employ of the Street Railway Com
pany, who was passing the quarry
while testing new gun In this
neighborhood where there was lit
tie danger of injuring any one, dis
covered the body of the young Wo-
man. He at once notified Officer
Knox, who, in turn, communicated
with Coroner Walker, who hurried
to the blue hole" and made an eX-
animation OF the case that was evi-
dent suicide. The apparent explana-
ton was strengthened when 1t was
learned that the young woman, who
was about 80 years of age, had been
in i'll health for some time and had
threatened on various occasions to
end her life.
She lived at 1904 Ashley avenue
in the Olympia village and attended
the house keeping for her father
and two brothers. The brothers are
engaged as operatives in the mill,
while the father is man of advanc-
ed years and feeble.
The young woman had prepared
dinner as usual and sent 1t to. the
mill and after finishing others du-
ties about the house. stepped out
never to return. When found she
was almost covered by the water
of the quarry, which, however, was
shallow, and the deed must have
required some effort on the part OF
the woman to hold herself under the
water. She had been dead but
few moments when her body was
found.
The quarry which marks the
young woman's end is well known
to the men who were boys in Co
lumbia 20 years ago, for much of
the granite that goes to make the
State house came from the depths
of this great hole. Here for many
wears Columbia boys learned to
swim and not a few daring swim
mers Rave sunk into the depths OF
the 'blue hole" never to rise again
alive.
