 The Omaha Mail is a train famous among the western railroad men. It races between Denver and Chicago at speed higher than that maintained by any passenger train on the road. Only the most experienced. expert and trustworthy enginemen are pat in charge of the train Although it has been operated at a speed that is the very limit of safety, its history is marked with only a few slight acci- dents.
 Three of the dead have as yet been unidentified. They are two women and a little girl, years old. Efforts were made to ascertain their names.
 The injured are in Chicago hos pitals.

Chicago, July 16.-A triple inyesti- gation of the wreck that caused thir- teen deaths when the Omaha Mail plowed into the rear of the Denver Limited on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad at Western Springs, just west of Chicago, was begun Mon day. The railroad officials, the Cook county coroner and the state railway commission each began a probe of the disaster in an effort to fix responsi- bility for the accident.
 The dead engineer of the mail train a woman signal operator and the flag man of the limited were the points of a triangle puzzle that the various in- vestigators sought to solve Whether any one of the three failed in the du- ties of his or her post is the question about which the investigation re wolves. According to the facts as set out in the first reports of the accident, the block signal, operated by the wom- an, Mrs. F.

 CLOTHING.
WAS GOOD NATURED ABOUTIT
Especially Amused When $2o, Which Had Been Paid for Ride, Was Recovered From His
 Pockets.

St. Louis, Missouri July 16.- A blonde woman with >ow-roping ability tossed moose about the neck of Walter Harrison, chauffeur of a taxi in which she was riding and then superintended the robbing of Harri- son by her two men companions, ac- cording to his story. She was attired in white. This is the story: Harri- son was absorbed in the operation of his machine when his head was jerked back and he found himself lassoed. He told the police he thought he was the victim of joke when he heard his fair passenger laughingly tell her companions to get busy" She was holding the rope so tight that he al most choked.
 Harrison was dragged from the taxi and, while the woman looked on and offered suggestions, the two men bound him fast to the wheels of his machine. Then they searched his pockets, taking from him SIPS.
 Harrison was struggling to free him self and shouting for help when the woman, who evidently was engineer ing the robbery, commanded her com DaniOns to follow her

On Lonely Road.

The robbery occurred on q lonely spot on the Olive Street orad, about two miles west of the city limits, ac- cOrding to Harrison.
 Harrison wriggled about for half an hour after the robbers had departed and finally succeeded in wrenching himself loose. He went to the Capri Inn and notified the Columbia com panys garage by telephone.
 Several chauffeurs were sent to Harrison's assistance and they later accompanied him to the Page boule- yard police station, where he reported the robbery.
 Harrison told the police that he was summoned to Nandeventer avenue and Delmar boulevard about 10 D. m. Sun day. Two well-dressed men and woman engaged his car and ordered him to drive to Roth's Grove. One of the men paid him a S20 bill in ad- vance and said he would settle the whole bill at the end of the ride.
 The party remained at Roth's sev- eral hours, Harrison said, and then or dered him to take them to the Capri Inn. which is about a mile west of Roths. He had been on the road about 15 minutes, he said, when the woman threw the rope about his neck and held him fast until her compan- ions had alighted from the cab and proceeded to bind him to the wheels.
 Woman Laughs at Robbery.
 Harrison said the woman laughed the whole time the robbery was being committed and that the sight of the S20 bill which one of the men had paid on account afforded her much pleas ure.
 The woman appeared to be about 25 years old. Harrison said. and was a decided blonde.
