TRAIN WRECKED.

Six lives we've lost, three persons
were probably fatally injured, and
some so we're hurt in the wreck Of
Wabash passenger train that plunged
into the Missouri river 80 miles east
of Kansas City Saturday night.
OF the eight cars in the train, five
coaches and the locomotive are now
in the river, with the water covering all
of them except one end of a sleeping
car. A chair car and two Pullmsns re-
mained uninjnred.
At the scene of the wreck the river
MAKES a bend sDd the railroad follows
it. For days food waters have under
mi0ed the rOsdbed, making it too weak
to hold up the heavy trains. Three
hours before the wreck freight train
of 46 loaded cars passed the point safely.
The passenger train was running only
IA miles sn hour. There wss great
confusion as the cars slipped and rolled
iuto the murky water.
Eight mail CLERKS were saved Dy tne
fact that the roof OF their Car WAS torn
off, allowing them to get out on top oi
the car and swim to the bank. All were
injured.
Nearly every woman on the train tore
up her skirts for dressiugs, for the iu'
jured, and the uuiDjured assisted a sur
mann mbO noe On tho fraiu
Almost an acre of ground surround.
ing the scene of the wreck crumbled
into the river yesterday and last night
large part of the river Is flowing over
the ground formerly covered by the
roadbed. 1t will be necessary to build
almost 8 quarter Of mile of track
around the wRshout.

Prescott Officials
 Defying the Law

Iu Siolation fl every city, county and territorial laR, gambling is run ming wide open in Prescott, several of the saioon- having crap, ftro and roulette game in iull blast in adjoiu- ing rooms.
 Arizona people, who have heard of tte strsn move in Preaco't, are dru'ionndl I at the bo'dDeas Of the - D. ho are violating the lass If the t5.si. .Ty Nith such appaient disregard ci ne'Lc called to account.
 The Phoenix Democrat says: So ' certain appear the gamblers in Pres cott that they will not be punished that Barney smith, chairman Of the ! Ynvapai super ,isors. dealt at one of l tie games in the Palace saloon one night, and on the folluwing night Ben Belrter acting mayor oi Prescott, rolled the ivory tall.
 For some time gambling games | prOh' 'bited by the terr!t 1riai st tute have bsen run with more or less ! secrecy in Prescott, but not until the las: few days has the attempt at SC crecy been thrown of and the games run with as much publicity ss in the palmy days Of the "tiuhorn. "
 Visitors from Prescott state thst the people of that city are in 8 large majority against the opening of the | gambling games. Little else Is talked about. The people az rule are mys. tifed at the actions of the gamblers Tho only explanation offered is that they have been assured protection.

 RESOLUTION.
 Inasmuch as 1t hath pleased the Divine Providence to take from OUT midst one of our esteemed members. James Reilly, who was the Nesor of this bay having honorshly prscticed his profession here since the forming of the county in 1881; it seems to us fitting st this time 10 offer the follow ing resolution which has been uusni- mously adopted. viz
 Resolved By the bar 0! Cochise county. that in the death of James Reilly the bar has sui cred an irre- parable loss; the people of the terri tory. respected, fearless snd good citizen, and the widow kind and in dulgent husband.
 His name is inielibly written in the pages of the history of this. the land of his adoption, and what. through poverty, tol, hardship and persever- ence, he accom- plished rising AZ he did, through many years Of adversity, from the m 0st humble patbs of life 10 the emmineuce which was his at the time of his death, is q most fitting ex- ample which many struggling but worthy members Of the profession might do well . emulate.
 His legal at:sinments were his own, solely by reason of his individual ei- fort.
 Deprived of the advantages com mon to the youth of today, casting his lot as 6 boy in Arizona st a time when books were scarce and few in number, he mastered those within his reach and which became the permsn- ent foundation of his ripe experience and knowledge of the conditions and laws of our territory, which character ized the later years of his long and eveptful life.
 Resolved, That these sentiments be spread at large, upon the minutes of the court, and that copy thereof be duly certified 10 his widow, to whom we extend our sincere condolences. July 26th, A. n. 1903.
