 BEFORE VICTIM DIES IN HOSPITAL

to lanterns.
 The body was. placed aboard the baggage car and orders were given
 Driver Burlison to make full speed for the railroad station as it was a matter of life or death to get Zachaba
 early to the hospital. Burlison put on
 full speed and a race was began be- tween the express train and the
 emergency hospital arnulance. When
 one block had been covered. the arnbu-
 lance was seen disappearing in the
 distance. leaving a blinding cloud of snow as mark of it's trail. BurIison reached the railroad. station just as the express train was rounding the end at the Main street railroad cross ing.
 On board the baggage car was huge
 St. Bernard dog. As a Farmer re- porter passed it the animal sniffed at
 the smell of blood on the hands of a
 man who had helped lift Zaehaba. In this manner the attention of the man was, attracted. He asked the baggage master the name of the owner of the eautifuI dog. He was told it was the property of a Catholic priest who was sitting in the second coach in the rear of the baggage car
 Dr. Canavan urged a brakeman to hurry after the priest. In a few mo- ments Father G. J. Panik of the Church of the Sacred Heart, Torring- ton. came hurrying into the baggage car.
 Previous efforts to have Zachaba speak were fruitless but on sight of the priest he became hysterical. With his remaining arm he beckoned the clergyman to hasten to his side and suddenly swooned from the loss of blood. X
 Father Panik soon revived zachaba and found that he was Polish. The clergyman is of Slovenian descent but speaks Polish fuently. He knelt on the floor of the express train While the doctor, the baggagemaster and spec- tators barred their heads as the dying confession was heard in A foreign tongue.

When Zacl1aba made his con fessfon, part of his brain was mile away, according to pr. Canavan.
 Silence reigned in the baggage car as Zachaba was being given absolu- tion. Holy oils were not available and extreme unction could not be admin istered him. Under the circumstances the dissolution was sufficient, accord ing to the ritual of the Roman Cath olic church.
 A delay occurred at the railroad sta ton when the foreman of the truckers of the Adams Express Co. refused per mission of the use of a baggage truck to transfer the dying man from the baggage ear to the waiting ambrl- lance. After about three minutes de- lay. he allowed the use of the truck
 zachaba was brought to the operat- ing table at St. Vincent's hospital at exactly 3 o'clock. He soon became un- and he expired at 4:S0 o'clock, one houryand a half after his admittanee to the hospital.
 The coroner began his inquiry at 3 1 o'clock today.

MUD SLlNGiNG ON NOW
Leaving Coast for Interior Delegate DeyOteS Time to Abuse and to
 FaISehoOd.

sHUSHANNA JUCTION (McCar- thy), Oct. 28.-In speech that was three hours in length Saturday evening Delegate James Wickersham attacked in most vicious and per sonal manner Senator Charles A.. sulzer. his opponent, John w. Troy T. J. Donohoe, and members of the regular Republican organization. He said that the fish trust is pay ing Senator Sulzer's campaign ex- penses, that "Sulzer's miners union consists of two men. the local post master and Sulzer's clS k.'
 He declared that Sulzer, Troy and Donohoe are not in step with the heads of their party in Washington.
 He declared that the Legislature has ample power to provide schools. He claimed that he was a prime mover in securing the passage of the La Toilette seaman's act.
 The speech continued for three hours of quibbling and abuse. and the delegate was clearly on the de- feRsive.
 Less than one-third of the dele gates audience applauded any of his remarks. The vote here will be easily two to one for sulzer.
