ALLEGED CRIMINAL IS
TO Be TAKEN EAST
MEMBER OF CHICAGO POLICE
FORCE ON WAY TO WALLACE
TO GET ClZEk.

When Deputy Sheriff Collins picked
up a stranger Mt Avery a few days
ago and turned him over to the sher-
iff in Wallace, he evidently bagged
bigger game than he knew at the time
The fact has been practically estab-
lished that the man. who gives the
name Of William Click is wanted by
the Chicago police A sergeant Of the
to advices received by Sheriff Nc
Cabe, on his way to Wallace with re-
QUESTION papers in his possession for
Cizek and if he is satisfied that the
man now in custody here is the man
wanted in Chicago, will take him back
with him.
Three bandits held up and robbed
printer named william Broz in Chi
cago a few weeks ago and the belief
Is THAT lIG llltlJI III CuSlouN lIeIc is Oue
of the trio, The mysterious feature
of the case was the fact that printer
should have the amount said to have
been stolen $223--upon his person In
real money, all at one time. This is
explained by the statement that Bro2
was an empoye and that he had gone
to bank and got the money, which
was his employers. and was on ills
way back to the office with It when he
met the three bad men, They are said
to have enticed him into a moving pic
ture show, or some similar place. and
robbed him of the wallet containing
the money. One of the three was soon
picked up, but the others, one of which
is believed to Cizek, escaped the Wig
lance Of the officers and made their
way west.

Prevent, an aged man well known In
Wallace, yesterday narrowly escaped
death and sustained injuries which will
doubtless cause him to be lame the rest
of his life.
Prevent was not aware of the near
presence Of the second train. When
he saw it bearing down upon him h.
attempted to scramble over the ridge
of snow at the side of the track, but
slipped back toward the rails. His
foot was caught by wheel and tho
heel so badly crushed that amputation
was necessary. He was taken at once
to hospital, where the injury wa
given attention.

FIVE TRA|NMEN HURT

Getting beyond control in manner
which has not yet been determined, {
heavily loaded ore train starting JUS
out of Burke early Saturday forenoon
covered the miles to Wallace in record
time and ended in smash up in which
engine No 1926 was thrown into tho
ditch from the high trcstle above the
Standard MILL the tender and ore cars
piling up at the side of the switch /;
few hundred feet beyond, with the ore
| spread over q large area. The crew
Of the runaway train, every one of
whom was injured. were as follows:
r. HlNKLE, engineer; bruised about
the head and hands and face skinned.
JAMES BERRY, conductor; face
arms bruised.
L. L. MALONE, fireman; legs and
back severely bruised.
l.. l.. O'SHEA, brakeman: internal
injuries and bruises
+. w. MCPHERSON, brakeman; Sc
we're bruises and cuts about the head
and neck
Several narrow escapes were had by
residents of the canyon towns through
which the train ran in its wild flight
Others were probably avoided by the
means of telephone messages sent
ahead. Two of the ore cars left the
track at the bridge near the Hecla
mill and piled into the river. The two
brakemen. Mcpherson and O'Shea,
were on these cars and received their
injuries when the crash came. The
former was able to make his way un-
assisted to Wallace, but O'Shea was
taken to D nearby residence and cared
for until he could be brought to
hospital in Wallace.
Engineer Hinklc jumped at Granite
falling in deep snow drift into which
he powed for some distance. He
probably saved his life by the jump
for no other favorable opportunity for
doing SO presented itself and the ira in
soon gained a speed estimated at near
70 miles an hour.
The three remaining ore cars and
the tender left the rails as the train
shot into the switch leading to the
high line track The engine remained
on the rails until distance equal to
several times it's length had been
passed, when it jumped the rails and
ran over the ties for several rods, ther
toppled over and left the trcstle which
was badly broken up. The rails and
ties Of the track approaching the tres

SENATOR HANSON RESENTS
WORDS OF SENATOR FIELDS

Unqualified and premcditated
FaIsehood."

Following his motion to take the
anti-race track gambling bill, Of which
he is the author, from, the senate COM
mittee of which Walter II. Hanson Is
chairman, Senator Fields last Monday
accused the committee with being dill
atory in it's handling of the bill.
Il have had promises from this COM
mittee every day for 10 days that this
bill would be reported said Senator
Fields. 1T is not the intention of this
committee that this bill should ever
see the light of day"
This brought Hanson to his feet
with the reply: "The senator from
Latah has made some very bald and
grave charges and / call upon him to
specify who he means and the source
Of his information"
Il am glad to say" replied Fields,
that the particular members ] refer
to are Senators Hanson and Barton
and none others. The evidence Is the
repeated assurances ! have had from
them that the bill would be reported"
"The senator from Latah" Hanson
replied as soon as he could get the
floor. "is guilty Of an unqualified and
premeditated falsehood. l deny that
| ever made him any promises and
thrust that falsehood back in your
teeth; you are guilty of a wiIful false
hood"
President Taylor demanded order
Senator F'airchild Who seconded the
motion. said he thought Tie point of
order was well taken.
Taylor sustained thep oint of order
and Fields then appealed from the
ruling Of the chair. The chair was
sustained.

AFTER pELIBERATING ONE
AND A HALF HOURS.

Days in Which to Prepare Bill Of
Exceptions and Motion for a New
Trial or Appeal to Higher Court

COEUR D'ALENE, Feb. 13.--Ber
nard r. O'Nel. former president Of
the State Bank Of Commerce of Wal.
lace, convicted Monday of issuing >
false statement Of the banks condi
tion, will today be sentenced by judge
II. N. Dunn. This announcement was
made by the court Monday, when the
jnry returned it's verdict.
At the request of counsel for the de-
fense the court granted 60 DAYS In
which to file bill of exceptions and
motion for new trial BY agreement
reached at conference of the attor-
neys on both sides of 1ne case. the
defendant Is not to be taken to Boise
until the court hears the arguments
for a new trial, and renders decision.
Jury Out But Short Time.
The case was concluded and the last
of the arguments submitted Saturday
afternoon. The intention was to give
the charge to the jury In which event
verdict Saturday night or Sunday
was looked for. The plan was chang
ed, however, owing to the illness of one
of the jurors. When this was an
nounced, Judge Dunn decided to con-
tinue court to Monday morning He
began his charge to the jury at 10
o'clock, and consumed little over an
hour. The jury retired and sent word
to the judge that they were ready to
report, in just an hour and a half
Mr. O'Neil sat with his attorney
Robert MacFarland, while the verdict
was being read. He looked calmly at
the jury, but gave no visible sign Of
emotion. He is said to have expressed
the opinion that another trial or an ap-
peal to the supreme court will result in
reversal of the verdict. None of the
members of his family were with him
during the last trial or when it's con-
cusion was reached.
Attorneys Gray and Wayne. repre-
senting the state, were not certain as
to the course that would be pursued
with relation to the remaining counts
against the defendant. Mr. Wayne
stated that it is probable no action
will be taken until the motion for n
new trial of the case Just ended is do
cided It is said however, that the
prosecution has no intention of drop
ping any Of the charges which number
Is. The impression prevails that ir
case new trial is denied by Judge
Dunn, the defendant will be allowed to
remain in the Kootenai county 1ail
