IGNACIO, Cal. Aug. 9.-Thirteen
persons were killed and at least
twelve injured at o'clock last
night when the regular evening pas
senger train from San Francisco to
Santa Rosa on the Northwestern Ia
cific was struck by special engine
and caboose near here.
Most of the injured we're riding II
the smoker. They were residents of
nearby towns.
The wreck occurred on sharp
curve. The passenger train was trav-
cling forty miles an hour and the
special was going at fair rate. At
the office of the train dispatcher in
formation was given out that one OF
the conductors had made mistake
in his orders and failed to take the
siding. The two engines plunged to-
gether. The baggage car and the
smoker crashed together. The smok-
er te1escoped.
The passengers made their way
out of the rear coaches unharmed.

WASHINGTON Aug. 9.-According

There is always more or less fre-
quency of these periods Of shooting

two days ago may have been the
opening number on the program. The
display will last about week. The
night of August IA est. Lawrence

heavenly bodies to be most nuner
Gus, but they will be very plain all
during the week, and should average

scure the path of light made by the

Death Of Bleamlst Sees His Wives

mont in Settling up
Affairs.
CHILDREN ACQUAINTED
Endless Law Suit is sldetracked by
the Women All Being Salts

Share.

PTTTSBURG, Pa. Aug. 9.-With
the death of James Kilgore, civil war
veteran and mechanician, came the
first knowledge that he had three
wives living-all within a few miles
of each other-and that children of
the first and third wives had been
acquainted for several years without
knowledge of relationship existing
between them.
kilgore died possessed of property,
and with insurance, which was col
lected by wife No. 8. Today the wo-
men. who each supposed she was the
only Mrs. James Kilgore, met, and in
an amicable arrangement, divided the
estate and insurance money. Two of
his wives lived in Pittsburg. The
third lived at Johnstown, Pa.
The exposure of the complicated
domestic affairs of Kilgore came
through information of his death, re-
ceived from the United States Pen
sion Department by wife No. /, who,
for number of years had received
one-third of the pension money of
her husband, although not knowing
where he was living.
Then his first wife started an IN
vestigation, which disclosed the fact
that Kilgore had been living at
Johnstown and was married to anoth.
er woman, who had collected his In
surance money, and was ready to ad
minister his estate. A suit was
! threatened when wife No. 2 stepped
| in and made her claim, and by the
advice of attorneys, who saw sIl end
less litigation, the three women
agreed to division of the estate.
Some years ago Kilgore left wife
No. / while they were living in Pitts
burg. He married beautiful young
Pittsburg girl, and with remarkable
boldness, set her up in home only
short distance from his former
home where his first. wife was still
| living. Several months afterwards
he was sent to the penitentiary fol
two years on charge of bigamy.
Upon his release neither of his
/ wives heard of him. He remained ir
Pittsburg, and met the girl he made
wife No. who was then Is years
old. She was employed in clerica
capacity in a Pittsburg hotel.
In each Of his matrimonial ven
/ lures Kilgore was extremely careful
to observe all the requirements O
/ the law-was as careful as If it was
his first venture-and all the womer
have properly executed certificates.
