not an accident Residents OF the camp
can be found who avow that the rail
road tracks had been CREASED in de.
liberate and successful attempt TO de
rail the ore train.
This rumor became rife early Yesfer-
day and deputy sheriffs were sent to
the scene TO make an investigation
Several trains had passed over the
tracks since the accident and the Off
cers could find no trace of grease on
the rails. The county attorney had
previously decided that no inquest
was necessary, but may now de
eide 10 order sO inquest in light of this
recent development The matter IS
being carefully investigated aud will

The Russians in 1889 severely de-

western Europe at that time saved
Turkey from being completely over over

on the jealousies Of other powers

this jealousy, while it has retarded,
1t has not entirely stayed Turkish
disintegration. ! 81
Greece, Roumania, servia and Bull 81
garia successfully freed themselves
from Ottoman sovereignty. England,
France and Italy are now in complete
a control OF Turkeys former posses
