as 1t was attempting TO take sido
track In Jordan narrows The pas
songor train was travelling at the rate
Of thirty miles per hour, and the i'm
pact was so great that when they came
to the sudden stop the boilers of both
engines were touching. as II neither
had pilot One tender was piled OF
the engine and the baggage car o.
the passenger was lying cross wise Of
the track at right angles 10 the resi-
of the cars. Some of the cars were
left standing on the bridge over the
river, and that they did not topplc on
the high trestle is a mystery. As II
was, four lady passengers were injur-
ed on the arms or legs. Both engi.
neers and one fireman we're, scalded,
and Ave other passengers we're injur-
ca WIN bruises, though none OF them
seriously. Three coaches and half
dozen Pullmans were loaded with pas
songers who were taken back 10
Provo and detoured over the Salt

II appears that the freight train had
been given orders TO side track ut

they could get In at Mesa. The latter
place they found occupied with other
cars, and left man to flag the pas

WOMAN TO TAKE
FIGHT TO REGAIN
CHILD INTO COURT

The last act in the domestic drama
Walter Elliott by his wife, Mrs. Inez
Elliott, and the subsequent alleged re-
fusal of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Elliott,
parents of the slain man, to deliver
Mrs. lnez Elliott's 4-year-old daugh-
ter, Mildred, into her custody, may be
staged in the Superior court when
Mrs. Elliott carries the fight for her
child into court.
Elmer, the 7-year-old son of Mrs
Inez Elliott, is still in her custody.
Attorney J. +. Seymour, who repre-
sented Mrs. Elliott at her recent pre-
liminary hearing when she was
acquitted of the charge of Staying her
husband, this morning declared the
intention of the mother of fighting to
regain her daughter.
On the day of Elliott's death his
wife had been served with notice to
appear in court to show cause why
she should not be deprived of the Gus
tody of the > children.
The matter was dropped after Ell
liott's death and now the case is re-
versed, Mrs. Elliott seeking to regain
the custody of the daughter who she
charges has been taken from her.
Shortly after the death of Elliott
the 4-year-old daughter was taken by
Mrs. ". J. Van Dorm, Mrs. Elliott's
mother, who agreed to care for the
child while the mother was in Jail.
Later, Attorney Seymour said, Mrs.
Andrew Elliott, came to the mother
of the accused woman and pleaded for
the child that she be left with them
for a short time.
Mrs. Van Dorm agreed and later,
Attorney Seymour said, when the
mother. freed from the murder charge,
called for her daughter, her parents
in-law refused to allow the child
to go to her.
81 understand Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew
Elliott have left the valley and have
taken the child with them" Attorney
Seymour said. "They made prepara-
tions to leave Tuesday and later |
was informed they had left in an auto.
81 do not know what recourse |
shall resort to. but | am going to do
everything possible to regain the child
for her mother"
Mrs Elliott has returned from a
trip to the coast and is concluding
number of business details. These,
however, will not interfere with the
action to regain the child, which, ac-
cording To Attorney Seymour, will be
instituted at once.

Mexican Press Agents.

Rising and falling fortunes of va
nous Mexican juntas here have a new
barometer - employment of press
agents. When the juntas are in funds.
expert publicity artists are on the
job, passing out Statements" favo~-

of a press agent is foregone and the
