NUMBER BURNED TO DEATH IN
CARS PROBABLY NEVER WILL
BE KNOWN.
PASSENGERS TRAPPED IN CARS
Dead and Injured Taken Into Towr
Accident Being in the Country,
Flre-FIshting Apparatus Is
Slow In Reaching Scene.

Trenton, Mo.-Three persons are
known to be dead and it is feared
several others lost their lives in g
wreck of the California Special en-
the Rock Island railroad three miles
north of here. Five bodies and seven
injured have been brought into
Trenton.
Three cars have been consumed by
fire, and it is impossible to say
whether the fatalities in those cars
will increase the death list by only
three or four or by a dozen or more.
OF the dead, only Miss Gertrude
Barnes of Kansas City, Kan, and Fire
man G. P. Lininger of Trenton have
been identified. He had been scalded
in his cab. The three unidentified
bodies recovered are supposed to be
those of passengers.
One of the injured a man has not
been identified. He probably will die.
Engineer w. l. Wilmington OF
Trenton was badly scalded about the
head, but will recover.
]. g. Childers, Anderson, Ind, was
bruised and suffered several sprains.
c. E. Spencer, Dallas, Tex, has a
sprained back. condition serious.
Steve Howard, who said he lives in
Alabama, but would not give the
name of his home city, lest his family
become alarmed, suffered fractured
left leg.
], Forming, Davenport, Ia, has a bro
ken leg and is cut on the head.
While running at extremely high
speed the locomotive suddenly left the
rails and landed over the right Of
way fence, 80 feet from the track. All
of the cars but one tumbled down the
embankment. The two Pullmans that
broke away caught fire, and although
the trainmen and passengers who had
not been injured strove valiantly, the
flames made such progress that it was
impossible to extricate the occupants.
The scene of the wreck is in the
country, and there was no means of
giving material aid to the injured or
of fighting the fire with any success
Trenton sent every physician and
nurses, and hundreds of citizens went
on foot to the wreck scene to succor
the unfortunate.
The train was one of the heaviest
and finest in the Rock Island service.
It was what is known in the summer
as the Golden State Limited and the
winter as the California Special. II

Marshal, But Was a Gambler,

Peru, Ind.-Roy Mckinney of In
dianapolis shot and killed Miss Dora
Chappell in the dining room of the
Bears hotel here, and then killed
himself. Mckinney, who had said he
was a deputy United States marshal,
registered as L. b. Lenhart Of Chica-
go.
The United States marshal at India
napolis asserts Mckinney never had
been connected with its service in any
way. He had been for several years a
professional gambler, according to the
statement of his brother
Mckinney came to Peru and stopped
at the hotel where Miss Chappell was
employed. Her father is a decorator,
and the girl, who was 20 years old and
graduate of the Peru high school,
supported herself.
Mckinney and Miss Chappell had
met in indianapolis and were believed
to be engaged for a time. The girl had
left Indianapolis to avoid him, and on
her return here her father had forbade
her seeing Mckinney again.
When the slayer entered the dining
room only the mattresses were in the
room. He talked to Miss Chappell 4
few moments, then put his arm around
her and, holding her close, shot her
through the heart AS she fell, she
turned and he shot her twice in the
back. Then he shot himself through
the heart.

SILHOUETTES OF
WESTERN CANADA

The man from Iowa began to talk
land before the train was well out of
the c. N. r. depot in Winnipeg. The
talk began in rather wide circles. The
rush to the land the bumper crop, the
system Of summer following pursued
In the semi-arid districts, were all
discussed, and then, with a sort of
apologetio smile, the Iowa man said:
I'm bit interested in this country
myself. Some Of the men down home
got few sections up here along this
line, and I'm going to have look at
them. Never been up in Canada be-
fore lit is curious how these mid.
western Americans pronounce the
name Of the Dominion as if it was
"Can'dy'O-"buti if it looks good we
will be up to stay next fall"
"You see, it's like this" said the
man from Iowa-quite manifestly con-
tinuing an argument that had been go
ing on in his mind for some time.
Back in our State land has become
dear. Anybody wanting to sell can
get $70sor $50 an acre for it, and
every farm that's offered is snapped
up. In Saskatchewan we have just as
good land that cost us s11 and $12, so
that man can take up five or six
times as much there as in Iowa on the
same investment of money.
1T isn't the money, though, that
brings most of us up from Iowa. I'm
not sure that money would be enough.
The invasion is family affair. We
have no chance of keeping our sons
around us back home. They have
to leave the farm and go into the big
cities of the neighboring States to get
work. To keep them on the farm and
in touch with us, we come up here
and make little colonies with the chill
dren around us, on homesteads or
bought land. This makes 1t easier for
the farmers back there in Iowa to get
land for the stay-at-homes. The fam
lilies that come to Canada are kept
together and the families that buy
the farms they leave are kept to-
gether, too. There won't be any slack
ening of the rush, either, for they still
raise big families back in Iowa"
One could almost see the mental
process of this typical American farm
er in defending step that meant a
new flag, a new allegiance, a new
land, and new associates. To aban-
don Old Glory of the Declaration of
independence for good thing in
cheap land would hardly be playing
the game, but to go out into Sas.
katchewan to keep the family togeth-
err was another and quite higher
| motive.
Why seek too closely to analyze the
reasons for the greatest land trek in
the history of America? 1t is enough
to know that the sons of the frontiers
men of Iowa, and Kansas, and Mime
