An ocean freighter coming into New York reported striking an iceberg with «uch force that a live polar bear on the ice fell from the force of the impact on the deck of the ship. The ordinary tale of ocean adventure is getting too tame for up-to-date consumption. That story about an alligator killing an eagle in the air sounds rather difficult, until you read that it was a baby alligator, and that the eagle flew away with It. According to the story, the representative of American freedom soon had reason to regret his enterprise. The skull of a man supposed to belong to the earliest period of the earth was lately found in France, and from the conformation of the jaw it is plain the men of that time could not have laughed. But then life in the glacial period may have been no laughing matter. The Baltimore woman who claimed that her husband allows her only two cents a day to run the house on, shows plainly what stamp of a husband he is. There can b<_ no doubt in the minds of the unprejudiced that he is not the two-cent male there has been such praise about.

I Engineer Olson Claims He Misread His Watch — Grewsome and Pathetic Incidents of the Disaster. Glenwood Springs, Col. Twentyone persons were killed and 30 injured, many of them seriously, in the head-on collision between a passenger train and a freight train on the Denver & Rio Grande near Dotsero. While nothing official has been given out as to the cause of the wreck, it is said to have been due to a misunderstanding of orders on the part of Engineer Gustaf Olson of the passenger train. Olson, however, claims he understood his instructions perfectly, but that he misread his watch, thus । encroaching on the time of the freight train which was being drawn by two

two trains met on a steep grade. The Dead and Injured. Following is a partial list of the victims: Identified Dead: Jj C. Davis of Davis-Brigham Drug Company, Denver; Henry Dunn, St. Louis; Mrs. Mattie Ezell, Williston, N. D.; Clarence A. Gooding, Washington; A. A. Hamilton, Polo, Ill.; W. C. Kettle, Ashton, Neb.; J. D.

At hen the relief train from this city reached the wreck the scene was terrible. As the bodies were taken from the ruins they were laid side by side on a bier of snow, amid the agonizing shrieks of husband, wife, child, and parent as they search' ’ among the dead for their loved •, many of whom were mangled be all recognition. A pathetic feature of u. accident was the killing of a father, leaving two small, helpless children, the eldest being four years old, the youngest two. The elder boy told a nurse at the sanitarium that his father called him Bennie, and this is all he will say. From a fellow passenger it was learned that the family was en route to Grand Junction to visit relatives. It is supposed that Mr. and Mrs. Kettle, whose names appear among the dead, were the parents of these two little ones, who are badly injured. Three-Months-Old Baby Found. Another sad case was the destruction of an entire family with the exception of an infant of three months. This helpless child was taken care of by a kind family at Shoshone, who intend to adopt it. One of the remarkable incidents of the wreck was the miraculous escape from the chair car of a Mr. Stall of .Pueblo Col., a salesman for a commission company of that city. Mr. Stall escaped without a scratch. Another heart-breaking scene was enacted in the wreck zone when kind hands gently lifted a four-year-old girl from the death clasp of her mother’s arms. Near by lay the body of her father, decapitated. HORROR IN HUNGARIAN MINE. Scores of Men Killed by an Explosion and Fire.

Jhaihs FOUND NOT GUILTY | I ACQUITTED AS PRINCIPAL IN KILLING OF ANNIS. Brother Probably Will Never Be Tried as Result of Verdict —• Demonstration by Crowd. ’ Flushing, N. Y. —After reviewing the

evidence for 22 hours and taking । ballots before all were agreed, the jury ; in the trial of Thornton Jenkins Hains ; Friday afternoon found the prisoner i not guilty as a principal with his brother. Capt. Peter C. Hains, Jr., in I the killing of William E. Annis. । For the second time in his life Thornton Hains has been found not guilty of the charge of murder, he having been acquitted of murder in j shooting a companion named Edward W.

Hains and his wife, who had been anxiously j waiting to learn the verdict in the , Hotel Astor, in Manhattan, since the ! jury went out at five o’clock Thursday

K / Thornton J. Hains. Thornton, who telephoned his parents as soon as he left the courtroom. Mrs. Hains nearly fainted from joy at the news. Rarely in any court of law 7 has such a demonstration been witnessed as that which occurred when the jury made known its verdict, which came like a thunderbolt. The packed courtroom of spectators rose as one man and cheered and applauded with such mighty vigor that the gavel falls of Justice Crane on his desk could not be heard. Officials of the district attorney’s office in Queens county are quoted as saying that the verdict in this case probably means that Capt. Hain., will never be brought to trial and that he will be surrendered into the care of nis family or the federal government. “Under this verdict it is perfectly safe for any person who is Ingenious enough to frame up a defense to go out and kill. Private vengeance seems to have taken precedence over the people’s law,” was the only comment that Prosecutor Darrin had to make, TRIES TO RESCUE BROTHER.

Rut Inside is complete ruin, all four of the floors have caved in. An attempt was made last night to wreck the walls with a stream of water, but it proved fruitless. The Cop*, nd hotel was of brick jonstruction, four stories in height. It was situated at the corner of Ninth ind Kansas avenues, one block from ihe state capitol, and was one of the alflest hotels in Kansas. It had a roomy lobby and widehallways, and was plentifully supplied with Are escapes. The main stairway, however, was built around the elevator, and the flames shooting up the shaft soon shut off this means of escape.

NABS HEARST AGENT HASKELL ACCUSES HIM OF CONSPIRACY TO DEFAME. MASS OF DATA IS SEIZED Governor of Oklahoma Says This is but the Beginning and Other “Conspirators” are in Peril. Guthrie, Okla—On a warrant sworn out by Gov. Haskell, charging con- I spiracy to defame the governor, Scott Macßeynolds, attorney and special agent for William R. Hearst, was arrested Monday night.

Smith, private attorney to the governor, and a large amount of data and papers seized pertaining to the sbOb--000 libel suit instituted by Haske against Mr. Hearst. Macßeynolds immediately demanded of the county court through his counsel, Judge John H. Burford, the where-

abouts of his papers. They were found ( in the private office of the governor ! and taken by Sheriff Mahoney at the • court’s orders. Macßeynolds had collected a vast amount of data, all secured in confidence. He declares that Gov. Haskell’s purpose in obtaining his arrest and the । ; seizure of his papers was to obtain possession of this information to as- i certain its importance and to learn ! from whom he had obtained it. Gov. Haskell in explanation of Mac- | Reynold’s arrest, said: “Yes, sir, I have sworn out a war- I rant for the arrest of Mr. S. Macßeynolds, said to be from Brooklyn, N. Y^ representing Mr. Hearst. Mr. Macßeynolds has been in the i state almost constantly for nearly ! ! three months, at times assisted by one | • or two other men from the east, and | ! by a certain person from Ohio and ; three or four people of our own state. “I paid no attention to them until recently, when I learned that they were disappointed at not finding any- i thing truthful to use against me, , whereupon they became apparently I desperate and began offering large 1 sums of money to persons to aid in ; manufacturing false statements. In । several instances 1 am reliably ad- : vised they have used the expression I ‘we have the money and are willing j to give it to you if you will help us.’ “It is not Hearst alone, but there ■ are other interested parties in the ' conspiracy and with the main purpose of injuring me they combined their efforts. ”1 have nothing further to add except that the arrest of Mr. Macßeynolds is only the beginning, and other i conspirators will have the same op- ! portunity to square themselves with L jury of honest people.” ELIHU ROOT FOR SENATOR.
