BURLINGTON TRAIN DITCHED

NORTH YAKIMA, April 25.-While
running at a speed of 80 miles an
hour past Selah station, six miles
northwest OF North Yakima, the Bur
'lington passenger train No. Al, over

wrecked Sunday Engineer William
Gordon, of Ellensburg, and Fireman
Meyers, of Pasco, were instantly kill
ed, and R. Pratt, of Seattle, a mail
clerk, and William Brogan, of Seat
tie, mail weigher, slightly injured.
That many passengers on the heav-
lily loaded train were not injured was
due to the presence of mind of Engi-
neer Gordon, who lost his life il the
effort to save those under his care,
when he shut off the steam, threw
on the air brakes, and even placed
the emergency brake in the 400 feet
the train ran from the time it struck
the open or defective switch.
Conductor Churchill, who was TAX
ing tickets in the day coach, says
when the engine left the track the
train was going at the normal speed
of 30 miles an hour. Suddenly the
air brakes were set, the engine whis-
tie gave the short distress blasts, and
second later the crash came.
The engine, No. 2S0, pulling the
train, had left the main line, and gone
into the switch just east of Selah,
jumped the track and been dumped
over an embankment about five feet
high Forced hy-lthe. momentum OF
the heavy train, the mail car had
swept by the overturned engine and
been turned about quarter over,
and the baggage car had followed.
Both cars were badly damaged. Ap-
parently, after giving the warning
signal, Engineer Gordon had attempt
ed to get from the cab, for his body
was found between the boiler head
and the tender. The body Of Meyers
was found pinned under the tender,
his arms outstretched.

SLAYER OF MoTHER-IN-LAW
( TELLS OF CRIME.
DID NOT INTEHD TO KILL
Prisoner Says He Desired to Per
suade Mrs. Schulz to Aid Him in
Getting His Children.

TACOMA, Wash, April 25.-Charles
j. Weller, the Portland novelty ad
vertising solicitor, captured in San
Francisco and brought here to an
swer for the brutal murder of Mrs.
Fredericka Schulz, has made com.
plete confession to Sheriff Morris
and Prosecuting Attorney McMurray.
Mrs. Schulz, mother of Welzer's di-
vorced wife, was shot to death April
4 on a lonely country road leading
from Gig Harbor to sisters home
near Artondale, whittier Mrs. Schulz
had been lured by fake letter sent
her by Weller. Supicion was at
once directed by the family to Weller.
Prisoner Weeps as He Talks.
Weeping Historically while he
talked, Weller insisted that he did
not intend to kill Mrs. Schulz. The
family, he said, had threatened his
life Il he came to their house. He
says he sent the decoy letter only to
get Mrs. Schulz out where he could
talk with her in safety, and that he
wanted her to bring her daughter
Emma along. believing Emma's good
influence would help persuade the
mother to aid him to recover his two
children.
He walked along the road a mile
or more talking with Mrs. Schulz.
Weller says she demanded he pay
his divorced wife $4,000 alimony and
that then everything would be all
right, otherwise his wife was going
to Alaska and Mrs. Schulz was going
to take the children. When she re
fused to recede or argue further, he
says he lost all control of himself,
drew the revolver and shot her.

"My position as regards the

few words. In every civilized coun-

carefully safeguarded. Ordinarily
and in the great majority of cases hui
man rights and property rights are
fundamentally and, in the long run,
Identical; but when 1t clearly appears
that there Is a real conflict between
them, human rights must have the
upper hand; property belongs to man,
and not man to property"

krlb's knowledge Shown.

PORTLAND-Thro a series OF
remarkable letters from Steven A. d
Puter to Horace G. Mckinley, the
Government succeeded in bringing
into the Linn County land fraud case
the name Of G. A. Smith, and showing
that Frederick A. Kribs could not
have escaped knowledge of the frauds
through which the timber lands were
acquired, and later purchased by c
A. Smith and John H. Wild.
1t is considered by the office Of
District Attorney McCourt that the
prosecutor has at last secured an
opening in the armor of the defense
through which he hopes to obtain a
cancellation Of title of 33 quarter.
sections Of land, now valued at SSO2,-

Puter advised Mckinley that he had
interested g. A. Smith, of Minneapolis,
in the Linn County lands, and that
the Minnesota millionaire was send.
ing his cruiser, Frederick A. Kribs,
to look over the property.
1t was shown by Mckinley that the
witness was arrested at Albany by
Government officials, April /, 1900,
and that the charge was subornation
OF perjury in connection with the
Roseburg entries of the very lands
which Mckinley and Puter were try
ing to sell to Kribs.
Kribs and Puter were shown to
have reached Albany on April l.,
Puter securing the release of McKin-
ley on bonds, and that the next day
the party went up to examine the
claims. From many witnesses it has
been shown that Kribs afterward ac-
quired all the notes and mortgages
securing the payments of money ad.
vanced by Mckinley and Puter to pay
for the lands and settle with the en-.
trymen at the rate of SIS to 500 each.
The evidence is considered to be
the most important secured since the
beginning of the trial, and will be
used to counteract statements from
many entrymen who have gone on the
stand day after day and asserted tina,
they had made no agreement to sell
the lands before filings had been
made and final proofs submitted.
