REWARD FOR CAPTURE
OF FORMER SHERIFF

The county commissioners offered
3 reward Of $500 Wednesday after
noon for the capture OF Sheriff A J.
Butler. who disappeared last April
leaving a shortage of about $500
in his license with the state
and county.
Sheriff Grain appeared before the
board last Monday. and informed
the county fathers that he believed
the offering OF a suitable reward for
the arrest of the defaulting peace Of
ieer would ultimately lead to his
detection. AT the sheriff sOlicita-
ton. the commissioners passed an
order approving of the reward, after
they had been advised that their
action was legal.
The missing sheriff was last seen
in San Diego, California, by a former
resident of Ely, and in a printed in
terview in the Daily Union stated
that he was searching Tor the rob
beers who held up the Southern Club
in September 1910. 1t is believed
that he is now located in Mexico.

The failure of a switch tender to

crashed into the rear end OF the ca
boose. The result was q tangled

several hours.
The caboose was derailed and

The streets about the Jail were
crowded all day with townspeople

lence were heard on every hand and
the sheriff feared when Lees state
ment became known it would be i'm
possible to protect him. A motor
car was obtained and Lee was bur
ried away under heavy guard to Ev-
ansville
On the theory that the murderer
of the Lees had thrown a pick ak
into pond near their home the
pond was dragged but without re-
suit. The county authorities are
now convinced that the murders all
were done with the ak that was
found covered with blood in the Lee
home after William Lee had given
the alarm of fire and the flames had
been put out.
The motive ascribed by the of:ic-
ials in charging Lee with the mur-
ders is that he wished to obtain
money with which to be married to
his flancee, Nina Taylor. Cash
amounting to 800 said to have
been in the Lee house on Wednes-
day, has not been found. The lives
of Richard and Clarence Lee were
insured for $500. William Lee is
known to have quarreled with his
parents because they opposed his
marrying.

MORE THAN SIXTY HURT

Manchester, N. Y, Aug. 90
Speeding eastward behind time, Lee
high Valley passenger train No. 4
ran into a spreadrail on trestle
near here yesterday and two day
coaches from the mid-section OF the
train plunged downward forty feet,
striking the east embankment like
= pair Of projectiles. At least thir-
ty-seven persons are believed to
have been killed and more than six
ty injured. The injuries OF several
are so serious that they probably
will increase the list of fatalities.
The wreck was the worst in the
history Of the Lehigh Valley line in
the state and one OF the most disas-
trous ever recorded on the system.
Crowded with passengers, many
OF whom were war veterans and ex-
cursionists from the Grand Army of
the Republic encampment at Roch-
ester, the train, made up of fourteen
cars drawn by two big mogul en-
gines, was forty minutes late when
It reached Rochester Junction, and
from there sped eastward to make
up time before reaching Geneva.
The engines and two day coaches
had just passed the center of 400
foot trestle over Canadaigua outlet,
$50 yards east OF the station at
Manchester, at 1885 o'clock, when
the Pullman car Austin, the third OF
the long train. left the rails. II

two day coaches and two Pullmans,
in this order, followed.
All bumped over the ties a short
distance when the coupling between
the day coach and the rear end CT
the diner broke. The forward end
of the train dragged the derailed
Pullman and the diner over safely,
after which both day coaches plung-
ed down the south embankment and
rolled over.

most of the victims were riding,

lowed by a Grand Trunk day coach.

of the trestle and plunged to the
shallow river bed, more than forty
feet below
The end of the first day coach
that went over struck the east en-
bankment of solid masonry and with
the other sixty-foot car behind 1t
both shot against the wall with ter
rife force.
Both cars were filled with passen-
gers and in few moments the cars
lay mass of crumpled wood, metal
and glass, under which hundred
men, women and children, many Of
whom were killed instantly, were
buried. The greatest destruction
occurred in the day coach, No 237,
and dozen persons later were TAX
en- dead from the second day coach.
which after following the first over
the trestle, snapped its rear coup
ling and thus saved the rest OF the
train from being dragged along.
This second day coach struck on
the bottom and stood end up, the
rear end projecting few feet above
the top OF the trestle. All Of the
passengers in this car were piled

The Pullman car, Emelyn, which
remained on the bridge with one
end projecting over the gulch and
several cars behind it, derailed and
in immediate danger OF going over
on the mass Of wrechage below, soon
were emptied of all their passen-
gers, who aided by gangs of rail-
road )employes from the big freight
yards at Manchester, rushed to the
aid of those below.
1t was several minutes, however,
before any body reached the cars at
the bottom to help the victims.
The cars did not catch fire.
Axes were secured and body after

the rescuers knee deep in the river
