by heavy timbers and iron that had
been torn from the engine, pleaded
for death or deliverance from the

Ghouls are believed to have rob-

the morgue in La Grange. More

est sum of money found on any OF

noon impaneled a jury to investi-

Another story of how the wreck
occurred differed from that of Mrs.
Wilcox. 1t was that No. 2, having
been blocked by a signal, had sent
back brakeman to set torpedoes to
warn No. s.
No. was coming down grade
when the crash came. Persons re-
sponsible for the story of the torpe-
does said that No. s had been given
a signal that the track was clear

ed they had a clear track.

Political Discussion.

The Freeman-Tribune has asked a
few of the prominent republicans of
Hamilton county to contribute arti-
cles setting forth their views upon
the present political situation
throughout the country. Hon. VIM.
Anderson of Jewell is the first to re-
spond, as follows:
Eds. Freeman Tribune: If you had
been at the national convention in
Chicago you could realize why there
is a spontaneous uprising for pro-
gressive candidate for president.
The people know that Roosevelt will
not stand for fraud, will do what
he promises, has been safe and sane
for thirty years and can and will
put up fight to win. The republic
can party has no nominee for prest-
dent. Nearly all the states that give
republican electoral votes that had
a primary went for a progressive,
and about the only votes Taft had
came from the south, our outlying
possessions, sixteen that misrepre-
sented this state and the big vote of
New York, and everyone knows how
they were obtained. The candidates
and others are afraid of third par
ty. There will be no such thing in
the northern states. The Dakotas,
Nebraska, Kansas, California, nearly
all of Iowa, and a number of others,
nominated progressive electors and
also a progressive state ticket. So
the only thing we have to do is to
be sure our electoral ticket is pro-
gressive. Neither Taft or Wilson
satisfy the people, for the people
know they will not carry out pro-
gressiye ideas.
1t is told that Barnes of New York
said to Kenyon, IF you sanction
seating the fraudulent delegates We
will give it to Cummins." 1t was a
hoax. If they had sanctioned it
they would have been as bad as
Barnes and would have been depos-
ed by the people.
There will be a progressive cleo
toral ticket in every. state. Roose-
welt will head them and they will
sweep the country. A republican
president will be elected, for the
progressives, both republican and
democrats, will flock to the stand
ard. Roosevelt cares nothing for the
office, but he has always stood for
the common people and after the
electors are elected it would not sur
prise me II they elect some other
at Roosevelt's sugges-
ton. But he is determined that
Barnes, Ryan and coterie of New
York financiers shall not run the
politics of the country.

Engineer Killed and Conductor
is Seriously In
jured.

Chicago, July 15.-Thirteen per-
sons were killed and fifteen to TWEEN
ty injured in wreck on the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy railroad
at Western Springs. suburb Of Chi
cago, at $50 a. m. yesterday.
Coming through fog, with sup
posedly a clear track ahead, train
No. s, a fast mail, ran at full speed
into the rear of train No. 2, known
as the Overland Express, from Dem
yer. which was standing still on the
track, telescoping two OF the Over
lands Pullman cars.
Railroad officials refused to fix
the blame until after the wreck has
been investigated thoroughly. Mrs.
F. A. Wilcox, who was in charge of
the tower from which the block sig
nails were controlled, said she was
certain the block was thrown
against both trains. She collapsed
after the accident and still is in a
highly nervous condition.
All of the dead were taken from
the rear coach Of the Denver train.
The engine of No. plowed through
this car, halving 1t and crushing
out the lives of helpless passengers,
many OF whom still were in their
berths On into the second coach
the engine then sped. Half way
through that car it veered to the
left, derailing the sleeper. The en-
CINE was entirely stripped when it
stopped.

Washington, D. c., July Is
William Lorimer is going back to
Chicago and going to work.That was
the brief announcement made yes
terday in behalf of the man whom
the senate Saturday stripped of his
seat and title as junior senator from
the sovereign state of Illinois.
Whether he will reenter politics
and seek vindication at the hands
of the Illinois electorate, Mr.. Lori
mer has not decided. Some of his
former colleagues in the senate
have suggested that he seek re-
turn to the seat in the house of rep
resentatives which he left when the
Illinois legislature in 1909 sent him
to the senate. But that, his friends
say, is at least two years away, as
would be any effort to be returned
to the senate. Mr.. Lorimer would
have to go before the people of I'LL
nois in a primary and it is now too
late to take part in this years con-
test.
Mr.. Lorimer was out AUTOMOBILE
ing yesterday, far from being the
care-worn and crushed man he
might be imagined, recovering the
physical strength which was well
nigh exhausted by his impassioned
speech in the closing hours of his
official life. His clerks and secre-
taries spent the day clearing up per-
sonal effects. His right to an Office:
in the handsomely furnished whi.e
marble building expired with his
title to his seat in the senate cham
Der. 5E
Since the fight for his seat be-
came most active Mr.. Lorimer has
been living at a downtown hotel,
having given up his quarters in the
Y. M. c. A. He will remain there
until probably the end of the week,
when he will leave for Chicago. Any
political move he may make prob
ably will be determined only after
conference with Elbridge Hanecy,
the Chicago lawyer, who has been
his defender throughout the attacks
upon him.
Lorimer takes the view that he
may ask to have his case reopened
on the ground of newly discovered
evidence at any time he wishes. He
feels that the senate in reopening
his case after it had once declared
his title valid established a preced-
ent it cannot ignore. His closing
words in the senate Saturday were
that "the fight would go on while
he lived" How he may propose to
carry on the fight probably no one
but himself knows. Since he walk
ed out of the senate chamber Satur-
day he has barely mentioned his
case, but has plunged into his per-
sonal affairs.
