Flushing, N. Y.-Thornton J. Hams
was on Friday acquitted of the
charge of murder in the first degree,
which grew out of the killing Of

Peter G. Hams, jr., while the latter
shot Annis, but did not actually par,
t:cipate in the shooting. His brother,
Captain Hams, has not yet been put

ENGINEERS ERROR
COSTS MANY LIVES
Head-on Collision on the Denver &
Rio Grande in Which twenty
one Lives Are Lost.
Veteran Engineer Msread His Watch,
Encroached Upon Time Of Freight
Train and Caused One Of the
Most Horrible Wrecks In
History of Road.

Glenwood Springs, Colo.-Twenty.
one persons were killed and at least
40 injured, many of them seriously, in
a head.on collision between west
bound passenger train No. and an
eastbound freight train on the Denver
& Rio Grande railroad between Dot
sero and Spruce Creek, twenty-five
miles from Glenwood Springs, at $3.50
o'clock Friday night.
The wreck is said to have been duo
to a misunderstanding of orders on
the part of Engineer Gustaf Olson, of
the passenger train, veteran en-
ployee of the road. Olson, however,
claims he understood his Instructions
perfectly, but that he misread his
watch, thus encroaching on the time
of the freight train, which was being
drawn by two locomotives, the first OF
which was in charge of his brother,
Sig Olson.
According to reports, Engineer Gus
tav Olson, of the passenger train, had
orders to wait at Dotsero until 1855
O'Clock for eastbound freight train No
&C, but misread his watch. Parties on
the train at the time assert that Con,
ductor McCurdy noticed the discrep.
ancy in the time and gave the engineer
the stop" signal by means of the bell
cord connecting with the engineers
cab. In another moment, however
before the train could have possibly
been stopped, the crash came, with its
consequent appalling results.
Engineer Olson Is said to be crazed
with grief over the sad occurrence.
He is one of the Oldest men on the
road, and has always been regarded
as careful engineer.
The impact of the two trains was
such that the three big engines were
jammed together until they resem.
bled one piece of mechanism, while
the lightly built combination baggage
and express car and the smoker and
day coaches telescQped one another,
moving down the passengers in tbeir
seats like reaper in grain field.
Eight men and women were decapi-
tated as though a cleaver had been
used. The heavy Pullmans at the rear
OF the train crushed what remained of
the cars ahead.
Only one person In the day coach,
Alice Williams, aged four, escaped
alive. She was found pinned beneath
the wreckage by -trainmen, slightly
bruised and covered with the life blood
from the body of her mother. who was
instantly killed, and whose body lay
across that of her daughter.
The wreckage caught fire and the
horrors of holocaust were only
averted by the uninjured passengers
and members of the train crews, who
used shovels and boards to throw
snow upon theh flames, putting them
out before they could eat their way
through the debris and consume the
dead and living. And to make mat.
tiers worse, second wreck occurred

Question

"Do you know of any woman who ever received any
benefit from taking Lydia t. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound?"
If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar
to her sex will ask her n~eighbors this question, she will be
surprised at the result. There is hardly a community III
this country where women cannot be found who have been
restored to health by this famous old remedy, made
exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs.
During the past 50 years we have published thousands
of letters from these grateful women who have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never
IN all that time have we published a testimonial without
the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly
published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine.
Here is one Just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts
that this is a true and honest statement OF a woman 5 expert
ence viii Lydia Z. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound write
and ask her.

not to give such a medicine as this a trial. why should It
not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.
