NAILY LIABLE FOR NEW
HAVEN WRECK,
ENGINEER Was Arrested


NEW HAVEN, Conn. Sept, 10
Three employees Of the Now York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad
are held by Coroner ELI Mix to DO
criminally responsible for the disas-
trous wreck at North Haven on Sep
tember 2 when the White Mountain
express plunged through the second
section Of the Bar HarbOr express,
eXacting a toll of 2l lives,
The coroners finding was filed to-

inquest.
Those held to be responsible are
August b, Miller, engineer of the
White Mountain express and Bruce
c. Adams and Chas. II. Murray. con-
ductor and flagman, respectively. of
tho Bar Harbor train.
A Sorry Record.
The coroner neither blames nor
absolVes the New Haven road. He
finds the signals are in perfect work
ing order, land whether the banjo
signals are obsolete or not" the acci-
dent would have been prevented If
the company's rules had not been
violated. He declares the number Of
violations of rules by employees
makes a sorry record"
Engineer Miller was arrested on a
bench warrant this afternoon and
pleaded not guilty before the superior
court.
Bench warrants have been issued
for Adam and Murray. 1t is said
they will be brought into court to-
morrow
In his findings the coroner said of
Engineer Miller:
The lives of a large number Of
people were in his care and he was
duty bound to take no chances and
incur no risks Engineer Miller was
aware u late train was ahead and
that ii was imperative and his duty
to have had his train under perfect
control ready to stop at a signal OF
danger. Miller approached the banjo
signal set at danger just north Of the
wreck at a reckless rate of speed"
BIames Conductor.
Regarding Conductor Bruce Adams
of the Bar Harbor express, the coro-
ner said:
ut was clearly his duty to get
away from danger at once and clearly
his duty to have left a competent
flagman behind and at once pro-
ceed."
or Flagman Murray Of the Bar
Harbor train the coroner says:
at is claimed that he did not have
time to go back the required distance
before being called in by a signal
given by the engineer and before he
could place his torpedoes and light

ly to the contrary. He did not go
Immediately out when the train came

NEW HAMPTON'S BIG DAY.
Civic Celebration and RegimentaI
Reunion to Occur on October II.

New Hampton, Iowa, oct. e.
On October 14tn New Hampton will
be the scene of two notable events,
the third civic celebration and the
reunion of the thirty-eighth regi-
ment of the Grand Army of the Re-
public.
The nature of the civic celebra-
ton will be similar to that of pre-
vious years. Everything will be
furnished by the business men,
free to the city's guests. There will
be free lunch at noon, free open
air attractions on Main street,
band music, free dance in the af-
ternoon at the flremen's auditori-
UNI, and a speech by Hon. Ben /
Salinger, of Carroll, Iowa,
1t has been many years since
there has been reunion of veter-
ans in this city, and people are
planning to give them a royal well
come.
This regiment was recruited in
northeastern Iowa, four hudnred
boys going from Fayette county,
two hundred from Winneshiek, one
hundred each from Chickasaw,
Bremen, Cerro Gordo and Howard
counties. Because of their heavy
losses in engagements, they receiv-
ed the name of the martyr regi-
ment." Only few remain.
On this day the Womens Relief
Corps will entertain the visiting
soldiers and their wives at a noon
dinner and an evening banquet at
the dining parlors of the Baptist
church.

Cracked Heads at Riceville.

Last Wednesday night fracas
occurred northeast OF town, In
which booze. chairs etc. were prom
inent ingredients, resulting in a
broken head on the part OF one
participant and a dislocated finger
on the other.
1t appears that Eicher who came
on the Cowan farm in the spring as
a renter, went to Alta Vista and
while there picked up and hired a
man by the name of Elliott who
claimed DEBORAH as his home.
At the supper table they got into
an alteration during which Eicher
struck Elliott over the head with a
chair
An officer was telephoned for, but
Justice Auringer was sick and no
other officer having jurisdiction
being available, Marshal Auringer
went out and brought Elliott to
town.
After talking the matter over,
both parties dropped the affair.
Mrs. Eicher, who was in deli
cate condition, was so frightened as
to result seriously, causing prema-
ture conference.-the Recor-
der.

Waverly Man Suicides.

The people of Waverly were
shocked on Wednesday morning
when they heard that Henry We
deking had committed suicide by
hanging, that morning. 1t seems
that he had risen at about five
o'clock on the morning of the terri
BILE deed and at seven o'clock when
his wife went 10 the barn she found
his lifeless body hanging to raf-
ter, the features distorted and life
extinct.
AS near as can be learned at this
time Mr. Wedeking was about 60
years of age. He had always been
considered a bright, jovial, good
natured citizen and about the last
person one would expect to commit
so rash an act. He leaves widow
and four children, two sons and
two daughters.
The cause of the rash act is not
known unless ii be failing health
and financial reverses resulting from
the purchase of a quantity of Texas
land couple of years ago which
has proved to be not as represent

BOLD CONFIDENCE MAN.
Puts Tn Watch for $50 at BasSett
Bank and Then Has to Give
Money Back.

An unusual stunt" in crooked
work was pulled off last Thursday
at Bassett by man who was ar
rested the next afternoon by Sher-
if Russell just as he had climbed
on the observation car OF the Great
Western train bound south.
The man carried stationery tend
ing TO show that he was c. Cass,
Mercantile Co., Albany, New York.
He was held in Jail till Saturday
and then allowed to go after put
ting up some valuables as surety
that he would return for a hearing
October Is.
Cass struck Bassett in the late
afternoon Thursday and told Cash
Ter Walter Trusty that he was a
travelling man and had run out of
expense money, and wanted the
loan of $500. Trusty refused.
Then the man said he had a watch
and ring he would put up as secur-
ity, whereupon the cashier accepted
them and gave him the $25. The
stranger showed up at Ionia Friday
morning and tried the game on
Cashier Koerth, but meanwhile
Trusty had called up Koerth asking
If the Albany Mercantile Co. was
listed in Bradstreets and explaining
the deal. When the man made his
play Koerth at once went after him
for the S25 he had received from
Trusty, and after a lot Of kicking
and bluffing, rather than be arrest
ed he dug up the $25 out of his
shoe. so far he was shy a watch
and ring. He took his suit case
and started down the track toward
New Hampton got tired and hired
F. F. Hilmer to bring him in in his
auto. He did not go near the depot
but just before the train was ready
to go he came Up the track from
the south and climbed on the rear
car. Sheriff Russell saw him get
on and at once boarded the car and
brought him to his office. A search
of the suit case revealed five watch
es and two rings and lot of pawn
tickets. The watches were second
hand. He had them in separate en-
velopes and enclosed in the folds of
stiff bosom shirt, which explained
his urgent request the very first
thing that he should be allowed to
go to a room and change his shirt.
In his suit case was a big bunch
of pasteboaTd checks such as pas
senger conductors use in checking
passengers.
Inasmuch as he had given back
the $25 and was still short the
watch and ring he was given his
liberty after depositing another
watch as bond for his appearance
later No one, however, expects to
see him here again. He had the
air OF smooth confidence man, and
at the very start said to Sheriff Rus
sell. You amt got anything on
