Walnut, Ia, Feb. 6.-Mrs. J. w. Hill
Of Fargo, N. D., was among the twen-
ty persons injured in the wreck Of the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific train,
No. z, near Walnut late last night.
Mrs. Hill suffered injuries to her head.
The injured persons were taken to
Atlantic, Ia, and most Of the unin-
jured to Omaha.
All the five wrecked cars were of
steel, and only their demolished fix
lures furnished fuel for the flames,
which started from an overturned
stove in the smoking car.
Not until this morning were all the
injured housed in Atlantic hospitals,
the spreading. rails, which caused the
wreck, having prevented the near ap-
proach Of relief trains.
Mrs. Hill is the wife Of a travelling
man. who has been making his head
quarters at the Dacotah hotel. The
Hills have been here but a short time.

RUMORS .
OF WAR
(BY Associated Press.l

New York. Feb. 6.-Rumors today
that Germany had declared war on the
United States caused a sharp break
in the stock market.
Prices already somewhat irregular,
gave way one to three points with a
special weakness in shipping, NUM-
tions and equipment.
The runor probably accounted for
the concurrent decline in exchange
to Germany and Austria, marks or
bills on Berlin being quoted at 66 3-S,
while remittances to Vienna fell to
$10,52, the greatest discount yet re-
ported.
The market recovered part Of its
loss but continued extremely nervous.
