land.
The scene Of the wreck, said to be
the most disastrous in the history of
electric railroad operation, was 1S
miles south of Fort Wayne, and half
a mile north of Kingsland.
The catastrophe occurred on a sharp
curve, which prevented the crews Of
both cars from having warning of dan.
ger until IN instant before the crash.
The cars which rushed together were
an empty southbound limited, which
had been dispatched to Kingsland to
bring in the crowds to the Allen coun-
ty fair, in progress at Fort Wayne,
and a crowded northbound local,
bringing a holiday crowd to the fair.
The southbound car, dispatched as
a limited, was running at a high rate
of speed. The northbound local also
was running fast and several minutes
behind it was scheduled the I~ndianap-
olis-Fort Wayne limited.
When the coaches collided the int
pact was so terrific that the heavy
limited car tore it's way half through
the local car, crushing it as though
1t were an egg shell.
From a a filled with merrymakers
the local train was transformed into
a charnel-house. A dozen passengers
were thrown, dead and dying, on both
sides of the track, but the greater
number lay dead beneath the wreck.

SHOOTS A WOMAN
DETROIT BUSINESS MAN ENDS
LIFE BY STRANGLING.
Shooting in Roadhouse Followed q
Day of Automobile Rides and
Visits to WInerooms.

Cleveland, Ohio.-A man believed
to be Burton w. Yates, a Detroit
business man, committed suicide
by hanging in the county Jail, an hour
after he had been lodged there for
shooting a woman identified as Mrs.
Fred Singer of Cleveland, formerly OF
Detroit, in a roadhouse at Rocky
river.
Left alone in the "bullpen" Of the
jail while commitment papers were
made out, Yates hurried into the
Mushroom, tied a handkerchief around
his neck attached it to an iron bar
and s~trangled himself. When the
guards returned they found him dead.
The woman was taken to a hospital
in a taxicab,, which the man thought
to be Yates summoned to the road
house. She probably will live.
The shooting followed a day of au-
tomobile rides and visits to wine
The couple arrived at the
roadhouse shortly after midnight.
Mrs. Singer was identified through
her attorney, Frank Billman, who
stated that she had come to Cleveland
from Detroit two weeks ago in order
to escape Yates.
Admission to Mrs. Singers room at
the hospital has been denied. Until
she is able to talk the causes that led
the shooting will remain a mys.

BURLINGTON PLANS NEW LINE.
St. Louis and Kansas City Route Will
Be Shortened.

Mexico.-The Burlington has about
completed arrangements for the ex-
tension of the short line, which op-
crates between here and st. Louis.
through to Kansas City and Macon
City. The line west proposes to ross
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas at FL
liott, between Highbee and Moberly.
A survey has been made several
times IN the proposed new routes.
The short line from here to st. Louis
has been of very little value to the
company On account of disagreements
that have resulted between them and
the Alton over the use of each others
tracks. The Burlington uses the AL
toms tracks to Kansas City, while
the Alton uses the Burlington tracks
for a shorter route to st. Louis.
Since their disagreement only the
passenger trains have been operated
over the short line, the through
freight business having been discon-
tinued yer a year ago.
