DE BEUFORT STRIKES BACK
Tired of "Beatings," Count Gets War rant for Arrest of Father
 in Law.

Chicago, Dec. 3.-Tired, he says, of being beaten by his millionaire father in law, NJ. II. Kilgallen, and Kilgal- lens retainers every time he encoun- ters them, Count Jacques Alexander Won Mourik De Beaufort struck back with a warrant for the arrest of the steel magnate.
 De Beaufort's action, which came after he was dismissed in court fol- lowing an encounter with Kilgallen's chauffeur, was the result of one of the long series of "beatings up" which have made the De Beaufort blood boil.
 Kilgallen, De Beaufort asserted in obtaining ths warrant, inveigled his son in law into his private office and there tried to induce him by offer of large sum of money to leave Chi cago for parts unknown, or, in fact, any other parts.

FLYER ON MISSOURI PACIFIC GOES INTO DITCH NEAR
 lAMONTE, MO.
DUE TO BROKEN RAIL
Two Sleepers and Chair Car Fall Down Embankment and Turn Over-Sufferers Go to
 Sedala.

Sedalia, Mo, Dec. 3.-Thirty sleep ing passengers were injured when Missouri Pacific passenger train No. 4, bound from Kansas City for St. Louis, was wrecked at point about four miles west of Lamonte, Mo. Several whom were seriously hurt, were taken to the Missouri Pacific hotel at Se- dalia, Mo, for treatment. The train was running at rapid speed and was attempting to make up thirty minutes lost time, when aN the coaches but the baggage car went into the ditch. The engine also re- mained on the rails.
 Broken Rail Probable Cause.
 The accident probably was due to broken rail. Telegraph poles were knocked down and communication with Lamonte was cut off. The cars were badly wrecked and when the accident took place most Of the pas sengers were asleep.
 Surgeons were summoned from La monte. Warrenton and Knobnoster when the wreck was reported, and a relief train was started for the scene of the accident from Sedalia. The relief train was l@ade up and on it were several officials of the road who make their headquarters in Sedalia. The relief train was ! equipped with stretchers, and the in jured were treated in the coaches be- fore being removed to the hospitals at Sedala.
 The wrecking train followed a half hour later, and while the crew worked to clear the wreckage and repair the tracks all the west bound trains were detoured east over the Missouri, Kan sas & Texas tracks.
 The first report received at Sedalia was that eight passengers had been killed, but later information stated fatally injured. Women and children were among the passengers, and sev- eral are reported to have been seri- ously hurt
 Car Catches Fire.
 Tbat the passengers were not killed is regarded as miraculous by officials. The two Pullman sleepers and the chair car rolled twenty feet down the embankment, and all three coaches overturned The chair car caught fire, but the flames were extinguished with chemicals. Several passengers were burned by the chemicals while trying to leave the coaches.
 The two mail cars and the baggage car and the engine did not leave the rails, and the mail clerks, the bag gageman and the crew of the locomo- tive went to the rescue of the passen- gers.
 The passengers were lifted through the broken windows, and it was found necessary to chop holes fin the sides of the coaches to reach the more se- riously injured.
 The track was torn up more than 300 feet and traffic was delayed six hours. The train was to have arrived in St Louis at a. m.

 On cross examination, the defense cndeavored to prove she had hopes of a reward incident to Wendlings cap. ture, in the event of his conviction. When questioned along this line, she said:
 Woman Sought Reward.
 'T wrote to Mir. Carney about the reward when I saw that Vending had been captured, as I though the re ward was only for his capture, but found out different when I learned through a letter from MT. Carney that the reward was for the arrest and conviction. l don't see how my teati- mony could convict anybody, though I received a lot of letters from attor- neys who wanted to take my case and try to get a reward for me-"
 Detective Sergeant Thomas F.. Burke of the San Francisco police de- partment, who assisted in the arrest, testified that he found Vending hid iog in a closet on the second floor of a boarding house In San Francesca on July 30.
 He said Vending gave domestic troubles as his reason for leaving Louisville. He testified that he found numerous articles of women's wear ing apaprel In Wendling's wardrobe. He then stated that Vending told Captain Carney he was willing to re turn to Louisville because he was pure" and if he had committed the crime nobody but God saw him do it."
