This del-| uge completed the destruction that had not been accomplished by the wind. Ina few minutes every stock of goods in town had been soaked, and the household possession of most of the inhabitants were in the same condition.

Cherokee, Kan., Sept. 8 —-There were twenty people hurt in the wreck of the Kansas City,Fort Scott and Memphis passenger train near Monmouth, Kansas, yesterday after- noon. Several were seriously hurt, | while many escaped with only slight injuries. The wrecked train was due | here at 5 o'clock. As the train near- ed the bridge over Indian creek, one mile west of Monmouth, an axle on, the rear coach broke. It ran 200 feet onthe track and then tore loose | from the train and rolled over into | the back water of the creek. | By this time the train had reach- | ed the bridge, and was rocking fear-| fully. The baggage car tipped and crashed into the side timbers of the bridge. The structure, unable to| and the entire train pitched into the creek twenty feet below. The streams had been swollen by the recent heavy rains. The baggage car fell first and the front coach fell partially over it, thus preventing the passengers from being drowned. As it was, they were tumbled tegether at the end of the car. With the first crash, caused by the broken axle, the excitement was most intense, and when the bridge gave way shrieks and cries arose aboved the sound of breaking tim- bers. As the train had fallen over the men but slightly hurt broke open the windows in the side of the car upper most, and so freed them- selves. They ther pulled out the wounded. Help was summoned from here, Fort Scott and other places to at- tend the wounded. The engine,cars and bridge are a complete wreck.

All the parties to the suit | adjourned to the hall, when Shelby and Heath became involved in a war of words. Shelby took pronounced | jumbrage at something that was said by Heath and with an oath on his lips whipped out a revolver of the | mavy pattern and threw it down on the unarmed and helpless lawyer. With the agility of tigers a half doz ; jen men sprang on the infuriated | Shelby and stopped him from pulling the trigger- Then Shelby escaped i from the grasp of his captors, and | struck Heath on the head with the | butt of his pistol, opening his scalp | several inches. Heath also received a bruise on the side of his face. | Bleeding and rapidly growing | weak from the loss of blood Heath staggered into the court of Justice Krueger, who was occupied in hear- | MM PERREC’ NAc A pure G: Cream of Tartar Powder. cans A saat or any other adu'te <C YEARS THE STANDARL.
