SIX PERSONS HURT in
TRAIN WRECK ON
UNION PACIFIC

- Six persons were injured in
the wreck Of a Union Pacific pas
senger train at 2::3O o'clock
Thursday afternoon, midway be-
tween Boyero and Aroya, Colo.
The train was bound from Den
yer to Kansas City and left Den
yer at 10 o'clock Thursday morn
ing
The injured are:
Mrs. Mary Jackson of Aberdeen
Idaho; fractured shoulder and
several fractured ribs.
Mrs. Tannie Rose of 231 West
Ellsworth avenue, Denver; frac-
tured shoulder and hip and chin
injured.
Miss Helen Rose, 231 West
Ellsworth avenue; cut on finger.
Frank Rose. fireman for the
Union Pacific railroad, living at
231 West Ellsworth avenue;
shoulder bruised.
w. M. Grove, Pullman con-
ductor, living in Kansas City;
bruises about body.
Turner Mills. Pullman porter,
of Kansas City; bruises about
body and sprained shoulder.
The injured passengers were
brought to Denver. this morning
and taken to Mercy hospital.
Grove and Mills went OH to Kan
sas City with the train.
The wreck was confined to the
rear car of the train, which was
a Pullman observation sleeping
car. Through causes yet un-
known it left the rails and ran
along on the ties for about 200
feet, when it broke lose from the
train and turned over, making a
complete revolution, and landing
right side up. The trucks on the
car were thrown from their fast
enings. The train was running
at as miles an hour when the .ac-
cident occurred.
Several other passengers were
in the car but escaped without
injury. The roof of the rear end
of the Pullman car was crushed
and the glass in all TIE windows
was broken.
AS soon as news of the ac-
cident reached Superintendent
A. F. Wick Roy of the Union
Pacific in Denver. he ordered the
wrecking crew out and accom-
panied it to the wreck. A spec
ial Pullman sleeping car was
sent out on the Kansas City linn
tied, which left at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning and carried a
doctor and two trained nurses.
Until the arrival of the car the
company doctors at Cheyenne
Wells and Sharon Springs took
care of the injured.
Superintendent Wick Roy is
conducting an inquiry at the
scene of the wreck to determine
the cause of the accident. =

HORSE THIEF GANG
ROUNDED UP BY
SHERIFF OF klowA.

A roundup OF horse thieves
that have been terrorizing the
southeastern part of Colorado
the last few months has been
accomplished principally through
the vigilance of Sheriff John w.
Blair of Kiowa county.
Assistant District Attorney
Charles Hughes returned yeste~-
day from Eads. where he attend
ed to the legal end of preparing
for a vigorous prosecution OF the
alleged horse thieves.
"The operations of this gang Of
horse thieves out rivals anything
since the palmy days of the
rustlers, said Mr.. Hughs today
in discussing the case.
They worked fast and by
taking advantage of their know
ledge of the country managed to ,
get the stock out of the state
without being detected. 1t is
estimated that at least a hundred
head of horses have been stolen
in Kiowa and adjoining counties
this summer. The thieves were
good judges Of horse flesh, too,
for they took only the finest in
the land. In. many instances
they took every head Of horses
on a ranch"
The theft which led to their
undoing occurred about a week
ago when they stole from the
ranch of j. T. Jett in Kiowa
county the following lot of horses
and mules: mare worth $500.
two geldings valued at $3.50 each,
a mule worth SITS and another
worth $125. making a total val
uation of $780,.
At the time Sheriff Blair was
in Missouri. He hastened home
and through circulars and mes
sages to sheriffs, ascertained
that the thieves had crossed into
Kansas and on into Nebraska.
Enroute they traded two of the
horses for stallion and had sold
some to horse dealers. Two Of
the alleged rustlers are under
arrest. George Abernathy/ at
Cheyenne Wells, and Walter
Schafer at Eads. The third
known membe: of the gang, Ira
Kinder, is at large and a reward
of $1OO has been offered for his
arrest.
1t is pretty certain that several
horses that have been stolen in
Pueblo county in the last few
months can be traced to this
gang, but as a rule the thieves
did not operate in the more thick
ly populated counties, preferring
the territory which offered bet
ter protection by being without
railroad telegraph and telephone
facilities. They hustled their
booty out overland and did not
utilize the railroads for shipping.
Attorney Hughes says Sheriff
Blair deserves much credit for
successfully rounding up the
gang that until this last deal was
able to evade all means of de-
tection. On this last raid they
took advantage of the sheriff's
absence to operate. Pueblo
Cheiftain.
We believe in giving credit
where credit is due, and if it had
not been for the vigilance and
shrewdness of our Sheriff, Frank
Williams, it would have been a
long time before the sheriff of
Kiowa county would have been

itol Visit.

Dear Editor: On the post card sent
to me was THE Iowa State Capitol
at Des Moines, Iowa." and as l have
been up there recently I thought ]
could tell something of the sights !
saw.
MY papa and I went to Des Moines
about a month ago, but I can re-
member most Of the sights l saw.
When we first went into the CAPT
toll we looked at the flags that were
used In different battles and wars.
Some were torn and shot badly, while
others looked like rags.
We went up two flights Of stairs
and stopped.
We looked all around at the pic
lures painted on the walls.
Then we went up the winding
stairs till we reached another land
ing. We didn't stop. We went on to
another landing. Then we just had to
60 up three flights of narrow stairs
upa little winding stairway and we
were up to the dome.
Papa and I went out and we could
see the Birds Eye View" as 1t IL on
post cards.
The buildings looked like little
shacks and the people looked like
midgets.
After we got tired we went down
stairs to the first floor, looked around,
got a drink and went out.

THE KITTENS ADVENTURE.

Once a kitten was lying on the
porch quietly sleeping. When along
came Towser, the little white and
black puppy. He spied White, the kit
ten, lying there. He gave a jump and
a bark and White jumped up and
stuck out a foot and scratched Towser
on the nose. The blood began to run
down Towser's nose and with a howl
he ran and hid In the tall weeds in the
garden. White thought that it served
him right. But after while White
thought she would 60 and find Towser
and ask him to forgive her. AS she was
hunting in the tall weeds she heard
something hat sounded like a bee
buzzing. She wondered what it was.
So as she heard It again, she thought
she would find out. SO she hunted and
hunted, completely forgetting toVser.
After while she saw something that
looked like a rope. She looked at It.
Then she thought she would touch 1t.
When she touched 1t q big rattle snake
turned his head around and ran out his
long, slender tongue at White. White
was so scared that she ran up a tree
near by. She stayed In the tree all
night and at daybreak she thought
she would get down. So she got down
and ran home as fast as she could. She
met Towser coming to hunt for her.
She told Towser her adventure. They
went home together. And after that
when White sees a rope she will run
and hide.

Marjorie digging in the sand with both

and this Is the dungeon. You go on
building, Dorthy. while I hunt the
prisoners, and get the soldiers" and
away dashed Marjorie. The prisoners
were put in the dungeon while the sold
iers lined up in fort. Every day the
two little girls played together on the
beach, but the prisoners were always
released from the dungeon when the
game was over.

Ina Describes the Trans
fguration."
Dear Juniors:

Dear Juniors:
/ thought I would write a story
about the picture that was on the card
l got from the Courier. My story will
be about The TRANSPORTATION.
Long ago Jesus took with him Peter,
James and John high up on q noun
tain apart by themselves. And he was
TRANSPORTED before them. His face did
shine 90 the sur. His clothes were
% white az snow. And then appeared
Moses and Elias talking with him and
Peter said to Jesus, let W make three
tabernacles. Ono for thee, one for
Moses and one for Elias.
And as soon 40 that was said a
cloud showed them And then a voice
came out Of the clouds and said, ''This
is my beloved son, hear him." And as
soon as the disciples heard the voice
they looked around and saw no man.
And then they fell on their faces
because they were afraid. And then
Jesus came and touched them and
told them not to be afraid. And as
they came down from the mountain
Jesus told them not to tell the vision
to any man until the son Of man was
risen from the dead.
