WESTERN PACIFIC EXPLOSION

The Humboldt Star says that
the bodies of the train men killed
by the explosion Of the Western
Pacific freight engine at Antelope
hill reached Wianemucca Tuesday
night. They we're not mutilated as
badly rs first reported. Engineer
Casey's body was the worst
mutilated of the three, part Of his
head being covered from the body.
The Star gives the following
particulars Of the explosion:
Conductor, A. w. Card ard
Brakeman A. C. Bulls, the surviv-
ing members of the crew, heard
the explosion and looked ahead in
time to see the bodies and frag-
ments Of wreckage flying through
the air, the locality of the .engine
being enveloped in steam. All the
bodies were blown about 800 feet
away.
The watches of all three men
were found. Cssby's had stopped
at 8 o'clock, Casey's at 3:O1 and
Readers at sos. A five-dollar
gold piece in Cosby's pocket wa.
bent and several silver dollars in
Casey's purse were also bent.
As stated in Hast issue of the
Star the top Of the grade beyond
Antelope had almost been reached.
The air brakes set automatically
after the explosion and the train
stopped. Mr.. Card ran to the
station to telegraph the news and
ask for 4 W:ecking train, while Mr..
Bulls went back to flag the
passenger trsin.
The cause of the explosion
remains a mystery. Railroad men
give IS reasons that might cause
an explosion a defective boiler 81
lack Of water. AS q large quantity
of water leaked from the tende,
after the explosion it is not be-
lieved that there was a short age OF
water. So the only other plausIbl,
reason advanced is a defective
boiler. 1t is said the engine was ar
old condemned Denver & Rio
Grande engine and had just come
out of the repair shop. 1t is also
said that railroad men were
dubious about this engine and one
engineer in particular has stated
that he dreaded to be called for it
The crown sheet and the entire
firebox was blown to hill nearly
q quarter Of mile away. If the
explosion had been caused by lack
of water, railroad men say, the
crsWn sheet would show that it had
been burnt. No such evidence as
this is apparent. so this. together
with tho large amount of water
that leaked from the tender after
the explosion seems to indicate
that the explosion was not caused
by = lack Of water, hence it must
have been from 4 defective boiler.
The force Of the explosion can
be imagined from the great dis
lance the firobox was blown. Its
weight is approximately $3.50
pounds.
Two government inspectors in
the service Of the interstate. COM
merce commission, who happened
to be in the vicinity at the time
Of the wreck. are at the scene Of
the explosion today looking for
evidence to determine the cause
Of the explosion.

PROTECTING 0IL HEADS
WlckERSHAM HOLDS UP WAR.
 RANT AGAINST THEM.
Waters Pierce Attorney Asserts That United States Official Is
 Without His Riohts.

Washington, Nov. 21.-The fiat charge that Attorney-General Wicker sham and the department of justice are protecting John D. Archbold, head of the Standard Oil company, from arrest were made by w. H. Gray, an attorney, of Houston, Tex. Gray and Wickersham had an appointment for a conference over Archbold's criminal indictment by federal grand jury in Texas on charge of conspiracy" under the Sherman antitrust law and failure of the governments agents to arrest Archbold in New York
 If the indictment had been for a poor devil of countsrfeiter or moon sinner he would have been pinched-- without any ceremony" said Gray. But Attorney-General Wickersham steps in, and The evidence, he un. derstands, is insufficient to secure conviction of Archbold. Therefore he has directed that the warrant of ar rest be not served upon Archbold
 ''It strikes me the grand jury of Texas, and not Mir. Wickersham should determine whether the evi dence is sufficient or insufficient. The grand jury and the district attorney of Texas evidently thought the evi. dence sufficient to bring the criminal charge.
 Attacks Netherlands Position.
 "Mr. Wickersham's action in order. ing that Archboid be not arrested is unprecedented It amounts to trial of the case by the department, and not by the court in which the grand jury found the indictment"
 Gray's arraignment of Wickersham followed his futile effort to induce

 Sam Schepps, providing he can elude a wife who has a warrant for him because of his failure to keep up his alimony payments, says he is go- ing to Hot Springs, Ark. He says that the atmosphere of the Arkansas city during the weeks he was there as a fugitive was particularly pleasing to him.

QUARTET AGAIN DEFIANT, BE LlEVING THE WILL BE
 GIVEN NEW TRIAL.
WITNESSES TO QUIT CITY
Fearing Vengeance of Ganesters, Rose and Others Will Seek Other CIimes as Soon as They
 Are Released.

New York, Nov 21.-Justice Golf fixed Tuesday, November PC, as the date on which he will sentence to death in the electric chair the four gunmen convicted of the murder of Herman Rosenthal. The four were brought into court and the motions to set aside the verdict and grant new trial formally made by their counsel former Magistrate Wahle.
 Wahle moved that the wives of "Dago Frank" and "Gyp the Blood be released from the house of detention and the motion was granted by the court. The court then ordered that the pedigrees of the convicted quartet be taken. He caused a general smile by warning the quartet that if they failed to answer promptly and truth fully" he could declare them in con tempt and infict either a prison sen. tence or fine.
 The four confirmed their original records, "Whitey Lewis" saying he was a bookbinder, "Dago Frank" that he was a steamftter, Lefty Louis" that he was a salesman and "Gyp the Blood" declaring he had no occupa- tion.
 Men Again Are Defiant.
 This formality out of the way, the four were taken back to their cells in the Tombs. All had regained their defiant attitude and denounced the verdict as unfair. They said they were satisfied they would get new trial when their cases were taken to the court of appeals.
 While the four men were arraigned four other men were getting read to re-enter the world.
 They were Bald Jack" Rose, who admitted making all of the arrange ments for the murder; "Bridgie" Web ber who financed it; Harry Vallon, Roses chief lieutenant and confidant, and Sam Schepps, body servant of the other three, who furnished the cor roboration needed to send Charles Becker and the men who shot Rosen- thai to the electric chair
 All of the men will be released soon, according to the district attor- ney. And all of them will leave New York. Although protesting contempt for threats by friends of the gunmen, they will take no chances. The men have assured District Attorney Whit. man they will return to New York when needed to testify again, espe. cially if the convictions already ob. tained are upset.
 Bald Jack" Rose, although insist ing that he is broke, says he will take his family and go to London. There, ne says. he will complete his book on the underworld, after which he ex. poets to go into the theatrical busi- ness as manager. Rose insists that he is through with New York forever.
 "Bridgie" Webber, who has amassed a fortune as a gambler and opium joint proprietor, says he will take his wife and make a tour of the world. He says he has always been anxious to travel, and now that New York is a danger spot he will gratify that de sire.
