woman might become insane and
also might commit suicide.
DIR. ]. A. Callen, however. testified
that a person temporarily insane
would have no recollection of what
happened and that, for his part, he
doubted whether a woman under the
conditions described would actually be
insane.
Denies Presents
During the latter part of her cross
examination today Alma Bell made
positive denial that she ever had been
engaged to Richard Albright of Grass
Valley or that she ever had received
presents from him.
1t is said that Albright will be put
on the stand by the prosecution and
will testify that an engagement did
exist between himself and Alma Bell
and that he had given her many val
liable gifts. This engagement is pur-
ported to have existed at time when
the girl as she said in her confession
today was engaged to Armes. A hard
fight will be made by the prosecution
to have letters written by Armes to
Alma Bell introduced in rebuttal of
her testimony that they were engaged.
1t is asserted that the letters show
conclusively that no engagement eX-
listed at the time.
Such rapid progress has been made
in the introduction of testimony that
it is now believed the case will go to
the jury tomorrow afternoon or We'd
nesday at the latest.

Captain of Red D Liner Insists Vessel

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-One of the
most persistent searches ever made of
the seas, that which is being con-
Quoted in an endeavor to ascertain the
whereabouts of Col. John j. Astor and
his yacht, Nourmahal, continued un-
abated.
Col Astors friends and relatives
have been worried one day by stories
of shipwreck and cheered the next by
reports that the yacht was safe.
The latest and most positive of these
reports came from Caracas today
when the captain of the Red ID line,
Caracas, reasserted with certainty that
it was the Astor yacht he had seen
safely at anchor in San Juan, Porto
Rico, November Is, or after the hurri-
cane had passed
He said the yacht appeared to have
suffered no damage.
Reports from San Domingo today
said the Nourmahal had sailed from
there November ~ in the face of
hurricane, but W. A. Dobbyn, secre-
tary to Mr.. Astor, believes that Col.
Astor is too careful a seaman to have
left safe anchorage in the teeth of
a storm.

TWO MEN KILLED IN
WRECK IN WYOMING
Engine Buried In Sand and Five Cars
Piled up Like Scraps-Ensineer
and Brakeman of En-
CINE Perish

OGDEN, Utah, March 24.-Engineer
Laying and Brakeman Pearson dead,
Fireman Rasmussen seriously injured,
an engine buried to the smokestack IN
sand and five freight cars piled up IN
scraps is the result of the wreck at 8
o'clock this morning of an oregon Short
Line freight train, No. "a, in charge OF
Conductor Schnocke and Engineer
Laying, running between Granger and
Green River, Wyo., on recently
double-tracked section of the Union
Pacific road.
The accident occurred five miles east
of Granger at Gauntlet bridge NO. 26l,
where the double track on the Utah
division of the Union Pacific also is
used by the oregon Short Line trains.
This morning freight train No. "a,
from Pocatello over the Short Line
road, stopped for orders at Granger and
proceeded eastward toward Green River
over the Union Pacific tracks.
Engineer Laying evidently overlooked
the order to stop before crossing bridge
No. 261, and as result of this error
the train ran up to the "derailer" anu
sped on until it struck the loamy soil
at the east end of the bridge, burying
Engineer Laying and Brakeman Pear
son in the wreck.
The men were dug out of the wreck
as quickly as possible, but they were
dead.
The bodies were sent to Montpelier
on the Oregon Short Line, where their
families live.

LOS ANGELES RESIDENT HAS
NOTABLE EXPERIENCE

BY NEW TREATMENT
Mystery of Stomach Which for Years
Baffled Science Is Cleared by
eklll of Modern In

Following Is an interesting statement
made by Mrs. ]. G. Rockhold of 2ll5
Boucello avenue atsthe Owl Drug Store,
625 South Broadway, relative 10 the
preparations which l.. T. Cooper is IN
Producing in Los Angeles at this store.
Mrs. Roekhold said:
II suffered from catarrh of the
stomach nearly all my life. While l
could eat to some extent, had no real
appetite, and the food did not seem
to give me any nourishment. Last
February had an attack of acute gas
tritis which caused me intense pain
and greatly frightened me. l read of
the record made by Mr.. Cooper's medi-
cines and determined to give them
trial. 1t was not very long after be-
ginning the treatment that l noticed
change for the better. Within two
weeks the improvement began to show
itself. | became more active, my mind
was made clear, and / no longer felt
tired and discouraged all the time, but
perfectly able to attend to all my
household work without becoming worn
out and injuring my health more SER
iously. At present l never have that
uncomfortab feeling due to gas on
the stomach and my appetite could
not be better. l feel twenty years
younger and consider this the best
medicine / ever heard Of 1t is the
first 1 have ever taken that really does
what is claimed for It,"
Referring to Mrs. Rockhold's state
ment, Cooper said: LAS l have stated
repeatedly, my medicine acts directly
on the stomach and bowels. expelling
from them all impurities, and restor-
ing them to a strong healthful condi-
ton, | am convinced that the stom-
ach regulates the condition of the blood
and is the fountain-head of health or
disease according to the mode of liv-
ing of the man or woman; My medi-
cine is intended primarily for the reg
ulation of the stomach. but 1t is no I'M
common thing for persons who have
used ii to come to me and explain
that it has relieved them of many all
ments not generally recognized as hav-
ing their origin in stomach trouble.
1t is very easy to verify this state
ment. An hour spent listening to
what people who call to see me are
saying about my medicine will con-
vince the most skeptical 1t has al
ready dawned on many people here
that 1 am not talking merely to hear
myself few thousand half-sick peo-
Pile are beginning to realize that |
speak the truth when IIsay there is
but one thing the matter with them

CANADIAN RAILWAY MEN
PLAN NEW AGREEMENT
Important Conference Held at Winni-
peg to Satisfy the Demands
of Employees

WINNIPEG, Man. March 24.-Nego-
tiations for a new working agreement
between the CANADIAN Pacific railway
and it's mechanical employees opened
this morning when an important con-
ference between representatives of the
company and men held meeting.
These represent mechanics, boiler
makers, boiler makers helpers, black
smiths, blacksmith helpers, carmen,
filters, coach builders and store men.
Among the principal matters com
planned of is the pension question, the
men wanting old workers reinstated to
positions they had filled before the
strike of last year.
The sore point with the men and
one that might lead to trouble is the
question of union shop.
At present Canadian Pacific railway
shops are what the men term wide
OPEN" the union Is not recognized as
they consider it should be.
The company Is likely, however, TO
strenuously oppose agitation to have a
complete union shop.
The conference is being conducted
with reference to western lines OF the
Canadian Pacific railway only, and af-
fects about 5000 men in the territory
from Port William to Vancouver The
conference will resume next week.

COSTLY LAGUNA DAM
COMPLETED AT LAST
BIG MILLl0N-D0LLAR WEIR
WILL DIVERT FLOODS
Governments Successful Project to
Be Celebrated March 3o-31 with
Parade of Floats and
Public Barbecue

YUMA, Ariz., March 24.-The last
carload of rock has been dumped into
the apron of the Laguna dam and the
great diversion weir is being cleared
of all it's construction equipment pre-
paratory to the opening celebration on
March 80 and 81.
Laguna dam extends across the en-
tire river section of the Colorado river
between granite cliffs one mile apart
at a point fourteen miles above the
city of Yuma. The dam has been built
by the United States reclamation serv-
ice at a cost of more than million
dollars.
This dam is not storage basin, but
a diversion weir, which allows the wa
ter to pass through sluice gates on
either side of the river into mann chan
nels from which many laterals and
bitches will extend over approximately
10000 acres, under the Yuma project
Construction of the dam was COM
menced IN July, 1905. Its construction
consists of cement and rock and is
4770 feet long.
Opening day will be celebrated by a
grand parade in which will be many
picturesque floats representing frontier
days to the present time. On March 81
a barbecue will be given at the dam.
