Several Train Men Injured Severely and Many Head of Cattle and Hogs Killed. wriday’s K, C. Star A disastrous wreck occurred this morning at 7:30 o'clock on the Kan sas City, St. Joseph & Counci Bluffs railroad, about three miles north of this city and a half milethe other side of Murray's switch. Engineer Fager of the senger engine received injuries which re sulted in his death at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and two other trainmen were seriously injured. Passenger train No. 11 started out on time, with orders to meet and pass No. 26, a frieght train, at Murray's switch there was a fright train on the which the passenger crew supposed to be No 26 and accordingly went on north. But it was not 26 but No. 18, an- other freight train, and No 26 was side track still out on the road puffing south | toward Murry’s switch with along train of cattle, hogs and grain The track north of Murry's switch at the scene of the wreck makes a | bend so that it is impossible to sea more than a few yards abead. side of the track for miles is lined with a dense thicket of brush and small trees. A thick fog hung over the bottoms and under these cireum- stances the two trains met. They were close to each other when the trainmen first had any in- timation that another train was coming. Both engineers whistled down brakes and the engineer and fireman of the freight engiue jump- ed and suffered no worse injuries than a few light bruises and scratches. Henry Cunningham, the fireman of the passenger train, also jumped and was severely bruised and dazed by the shock. But Engineer J. W. Fager of the passenger train stayed in his cab, put on the air brakes and reversed the engine. He had no sooner fin- ished doing this than the collision occurred. He had no time to escape. He was caught in the wreck. The crash was terrible. The engineer was buried under the debris. The tender ot the passenger en- gine was run right up in the baggage car Orry Revenaugh, American express company messenger, was in the car. He was badly hurt. F.B Tanner, a newsboy, was sitting in the front end of the smoking car. He was severely cut by flying timbers. Con ductor Tindell and brakeman Cassle of the passenger crew were bruised. but their injuries are not serious. None of the freight crew was hurt except the engineer and fireman who jumped. Engineer Fager was scaled from head to foot. The skin has fallen from both arms and shoulders. He was placed on a cot in the Sisters’ hospital, writhing and moaning, but perfectly unconscious to outward circumstances. though seemly in an agony of pain. Two or three freight cars are smashed to splinters. One car stood up on end on the ruins of two more. The two engines are a total wreck, being nothing more than a pile of broken pieces ofiron. The largest pieces recognizable are the which still retain something of their The | boilers, | | ; former shape.

GOV. STEELE'’S REPORT. Matters of Moment Referred To By the | Goveroor of Oklahoma. Gt Ok,, Oct. 16—Gor.

It seems to me there is more reason for helping the settlers support the schools in these lands than there , was in Oklahoma proper.” i Concerning the opening of the Chero- | kee strip this is said: “Nothing I think of would be more gratifying to the people of not only Okiahoma but those of Arkansas, Mis- souri, Texas, Kansas and other states who are anxious for homes than would be the opening of the Cherokee outlet. There is every reason why it should be thrown open to settlement and none that I know of why it should not be.” As to town sites Gov. Steele says in | part: “I hope before any other town sites are thrown open to settlement the town sites will be carefully selected, surveyed, platted and published, and I earnestly recommend a different mode of opening town sites to settlement. At the recent opening of Tecumseh and Chandler there were at least 5,000 peo- ple at each place waiting for the signal to be given for entering said town: tes, containing 2,400 lots, good and bad. A very large proportion of those intending to enter the sites were anxious to go in on foot to avoid the danger incident to | riding in on horseback or in wagons and vehicles of various kinds. One man was killed by his horse falling on him, others were re or less injured, but the real settlers were in too many in- | stances deterred from attempting to | get a lot ora home from the very fact | that horsemen were allowed to ride in. Lawyers without clicr yound:; bank- ers without banks or capital are there; real estate speculators without cus- tomers, gamblers, whisky peddiers and bootleggers all before the onening were there to ply their vocation.” The governor sp of the lands on the western border as follows: ‘On zecount of a great many of the Indians refusing to take their allotments much delay has been caused in the allotting of lands to the Chey- ennes and Arapahoes, and I am in- formed that the appropriation for making these allotments is prac- tically exhausted. Unless it is possible to make other arrange- ments to throw these lands open to set- tlement early next spring so that set- tlers may : crop next year, it will mean hardship, destitution, sickness and death among the hundreds of set- tlers who have been along its borders for weeks, and in many instances for months, waiting for homes.” SLY BENSON. ring to Cheat the Gallows y Accumulating Means of Self-Destruc- be true Cheyenne and Ara: of the opening tion. LEAVENWorrTH, Kan., Oct. 20 —Three weeks ago a thorough search of the cell oceupied by Charles A. Benson, the condemned murderer, under sentence to be hanged here November 5, was made but nothing was found with which he could i imself. He was then given a new bed. Saturday the doomed man was put in the death cell and at night the mat- tress which he hat used was emptied when half of a Jarge pair of shears dropped out. Half of the blade which was quite sharp was wrapped in paper. How this blade got inside the jail is a mystery to the officials and will proba- bly never be ascertained. This aroused grave suspicion and the cell was again thoroughly searched. In one corner was found atin cup about half full. The jailer believed this was coffee and had poured out about half of it when the strong smell caused him to stop. It was soon learned that the liquid was nothing less than the rank- est poison, one-fourth of a teaspoonful being sufficient to kill a half dozen men. Investigation showed tnat this poison had been obtained from matches, Whenever Benson got hold of three or four matches he would place them into this cup and permit them to remain until the phosphorus and sulphur were thoroughly soaked. He would then scrape off the compound in its softened state and allowed it to remain in ‘the cup. By this process, which he had evidently been carrying on for some time, he managed to get sufficient poison to more than insure death. Mrs. Thurman Dead. CotumBts, O., Oct. 20.—Mrs Allen G.
