injured fatally when Denver & Rio

miles east of here.
The train was going at full speed
when the slide struck it, turning over
the engine and derailing the mail and

Scores of passengers were badly
shaken up and bruised. but none was
injured seriously. Clerks in the mail

painful of the minor injuries re-

Slipped from its bed and moved down
upon the train and track is oil shale.
The slide this morning was declared
to be equal in size to the serious one
of ten years ago which tied up traffic
on the main line of the Denver x Rio

A geologist who was on the train de-
clared tonight that the movement Of

was moved about 100 feet out of line.
There was very little rock in the mass,

take advantage of the opportunity Of
fered by retirement and the end of

TO REMAIN
I6 OR II CENTS
IN SEPTEMBER

Officials at number Of the large
dairies of the city stated today that
they do not expect to change the price
of milk. which is now Is and II cents
a quart, during September. Although
all Of the dairymen could not be
reached, indications are that the ma
jority will not advance the price be-
fore October /.
Several days ago. when Health Off,
Ger William c. Fowler received in
formation that the winter milk price
might go into effect September 1, he
wrote to all the dairymen in the city
and to the farmers in Maryland
and Virginia, asking that they do all
in their power to keep the price down,
at least until October l.
DR.. Fowler based his request on the
fact that the supply has been album
dant in the surrounding country this
summer and the belief that the pas
lures would remain good for grazing
during September.
Just what the winter price will be
this year is not definitely known, but
it probably will be 18 or 19 cents a
quart.

STARVING CREW RESCUED.
Captain and Men of Derelict Steam
er Taken to Bi1boa.

B1LBOA, Spain, August 27.-The
captain and crew of the American
steamer Hiplicrium have reached here
on board the Spanish steamer Penalba.
which rescued them at sea in a
starving condition. while the Penalba
was on a voyage from Tampa to this
port.
The captain of the American vessel
reports that he left New York July
10 for st. Thomas. During a storm
on the 18th the rudder of the steamer
broke and the vessel was totally dis
mantled. The provisions were
spoiled through oil corning in con-
tact with them and the crew was
without food until August 2, when the
derelict was sighted by the Penalba.
which took off the sailors. The crew
is here awaiting repatriation.
Available shipping records do not
contain the American steamer Hipli-
crium.
