These immigrants say that there were about 126 of their nationality on the train and that only about twenty-five of them escaped.

Lucie Virgiles and Trubuzzi Silvestro, although frightfully in- jured, were able to talk briefly. They were well acquainted with the people in their party and say that 100 of the Ttallans are missing and unaccounted for. There were not enough ambulances (o carry the wounded to the hospital and many express wagons and trucks were pressed Into wervice. Among the wounded at the hospital is 2-year-old Carmen Paer, who cries un- ceasingly for his uncle. His uncle, how- ever, is dead, having given his own life to save the boy. The boy's protector, whose name was Thomas Gerbargo, had made his body a shield to protect his nephew.

Out- witted and outpointed, with a fighter Just the same as himself, McGovern had to lower his colors this afternoon at the Nutmeg Athletic club to ““Young Corbett’ within six minutes from the start of the fight “Young Corbett,” who outside of ring pariance is known as Billy Rothwell of Denver, Colo,, got the better of the cham- plon in less than two rounds of fighting and he did It so perfectly that there was no doubt about {t. The shotk to the New York enthusiasts who crowded the boxing pavilion when the little champion was knocked out in the second round was a repetition of the disappointment exhibited by the adherents of John L. Sullivan when Corbett defeated him in New Orleans, Terry Not Fast Enough. Terry was as fit as the proverblal fiddle, but he was not fast enough for his man. From the word g0 the lads went at each other like gamecocks and it looked as if either would go out in the first round. Mc- Govern got the worst of the opening round and in his endeavor to get in left himself open several times, Corbett just stood off McGovern on every lead and trick, but the little Brooklyn boy went on as if there were nothing to it but the winner's end of the purse. When Mc- Govern was knocked down in the opening round there were cries of dismay from his backers, but his wonderful recuperative powers were equal to the oceasion and he was on his feet within seven seconds, However, his downfall seemed to take it out of McGovern, but he fought the round In clever style and tried hard to stem the tide of defeat which seemed to have set in agalnst him. He tried all his rushing work, which proved so profitable on former occaslons, but Corbett met his every curve and countered hard on neck, jaw and he When Terry came back to his corner at the end of the first round ho sald: “That's the toughest guy I ever met, but I'll lck Bim just as soon as I see an opening. That opening did not come very handily for the New York boy, as the little Deu- ver pugilist had then taken his measure. Rushes Like Wild Man, Down went Terry again in the second round and when he got up quickly he | rushed like & wild man. He showed Inck of self-restraint and in a buret of bad temper hit out left and right irrespective of all rules and usages. These tactics ap- parently were just what Corbett was look- ing for. Terry was mixing things up with whirlwind velocity and throwing sclence to the winds. Tt was anyone's fight at this stage, but Terry tell into a trap as Corbett feinted and sent his right out when McGovern was side-stepping. This blow just grazed Mc- Govern's head, but a moment later Corbett feinted again and, after a rattling exchange, sent his right over o t.e jaw and Terry went down and out. While the fallen champion was frantically trying to regain his feet the crowd yelled madly. Wins on His Merits. The referee dec! ver lad had won. He had won on his merits, as he took chance for chance, Terry was crestfallen after he returned to his dressing room. He sald: “Well, you can't tell how things can be accounted for. 1 hope to make another mateh with Corbett and I am more than confident he will not be able to put it over me again.” “Young Corbstt” was very demure when he emerged from his dressing room. At first he was reluctant to talk, but finally said: “I was sure I could beat McGovern and my opinion was based on what I had seen and heard of him. I felt that I had him trom the first punch, but I was cool- headed all through. When I began to sting him he lost his head and when he lost his head it was all over. I had him right there and with a right swinging up- pereut I landed the blow which won the battle.” ““Young Corbett” will remain here for some days. Dave Sullivan was one of tho first to send a challenge to the winner as soon as Charlie White, the referee, announced his decision.

At this stage it looked like anybody's fight, should one of the viclous blows land Corbett kept his head and seemed to bore blows were apparently in better; his bod no stiffer’ than t of his opponent; how- ever, he kept on forcing McGovern half across the ring and finally Terry forgot his defense. He simply saw u hurricane of blows coming toward him and there was no guarding on his part. Suddenly a rght, swinging uppercut landed squarely on the potnt of his jaw and MeGovern went down and oul. He was rondered uncon- sclous, but It was evident to all present that he knew the champlonship had taken wings, as he made wild efforis (o regiin his feot.

LINCOLN, Nov. 28.—(Special Telegram.) —Elghteen to ten was the result of the game which gave the Cornhuskers the championship of the states of Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri this afternoon. It was a spectacular and flercely fought contest. Throughout the first half, defeat for the Nebraskane seemed inevitable, The Indlan braves kept piling over the No- braska line and the playing was all one- sided. The visitors had the wind, several inopportune fumbles and two questidnable decisions in their favor, but while all these contributed to thelr success that half, thelr playing was admittedly superior to that of the Nebraskans But there was a decislve change in the second half and in whirlwind fashion the Cornhuskers smashed the Indians' strong defense for long and sensational gains. Pilisbury, Bell and Bender each crossod the line for a touchdown and three goals were kicked by Drain ’ The Indians showed marvelous strength in the line and in this single department was Nebraska's only weakne: Compara tively Jittle distance was made around the ends, but on straight line bucking most ot the ground was made. The game was one of the most stirring and enthusing exhibitions of foot ball ever witnessed on the Nebraska campus, It meant much to both teams and both fought with a determination seldom seen. Tonight the champions are being ban queted at the Lincoln hotel by the Uni versity Athletic board. The event toduy was the climax of (he most successful sea son ever experienced by a Nebraska team and the hospitality of the board knows no restrictions against the men who carried the scarlet and cream on to victory. Nehraska Wins To Nebraska won the toss and at 235 the pigskin was carried Into the center of the fleld for a kickoff of thirty-five yards by Drain. The Indian who caught the ball was downed in his tracke, but in the first play the Cornbuskers were backed down the fleld for a distance of three yards. On the second down the Nebraskans recovered the ball on a fumble and then began a series of terrific and effective line bucks and end runs, but in the first attempts the distance gained Was but slight. Then five yards was gained through the Indians' left end The playlng of both teams was fast and furious, but tho Indians took a decided brace against the Cornbuskers' onslaughts wiid Fecoverod the bait whea it was wilhin ten yards of their goal. A straight dash through Nebraska's center gave the In- diaus five yurds, Nebraska's defense crum- bling away’ in front of the Indians as they concentrated their energles at the one point. A slight but temporary lujury to Captaln Westover, from which he quickly recovered, gave the Cornhuskers a chance to recuperate, and in the next down the Indlans were forced backwards with the ball. A punt then took the ball twenty yards into Nebraska's territory and Drain carrled it back half that distance. The first down the diminutive quarter, Ralph Drain, took the oall, eluded his pursuers and advanced around the Indians’ left end for eight yards. The Indlans seemed un- able to withstand the terrific work of the Nebraskans, who kept gaining steadily, but an unlucky fumble lost the ball to the visitors and Nebraska was again on the defensive, ten yards from tho center of the field, anl ir the Indians' territory. Across Nebraska's Goal Line. The ball was carried a short distance over the center line and failing to get dis- tance in two downs the Indians made a long pant, low but swift, straight down the field and across Nebraska's goal line. Pillsbury, who was playing far back of the Nebraska line, was hot after the ball, but missed it by several yards, and it sped on its course untouched. A Nebraska man caught It, however, and made a touchback. The ball was kicked back forty yards, and falllng to get distance on downs a goal from the fleld was attempted by Fallls, the Indian mght half, resulting successfully. The ball passed directly between the posts and was as clean a goal as was ever seen on the Nebraska field, kicked from a distance of forty yards, and scoring the Indians five points. Nebraska kicked off futo the Indians’ ter ritory, but recovered the ball through a femble in the second dows. Then Coach Booth's always reliable and effective double-pass. trick was put into operation, Drain 100k the ball and was far around the Indians’ right end before they had recov ered from the surpriee, gaining about twenty yards by the maneuver. The rooters and all the spectators joined in a tumultuous cheer and the Cornbuskers came quickly into position again to continue the advance. But i1l luck again played h with them. A fumble gave an Indian the ball and a clear flold, but he was downed after a short run. Again the Indian got around Nebras ka's right end for a gain of ten yards be fore he was downed just outside of the side line. The next two downs falled 10 give the Indians any headway and a punt for sixty yards was made, taking the ball twenty-five yards into the Nebraska territory. Drain caught the pigskin, but the Indians were wpon him and he was downed after advance Ing a few yards Goal Agnin in Danger. Stll another fumble, this one hy Bell gave the redmen the ball and it was car- ried ten yards nearer the Nebraska goal. On the next down the Indians were penal- ized ten yards for offside, leaving the ball twenty-five yards directly in front of the goal. Bain, the Indlan right tackle, was given the ball and kicked a clear goal from the field, which brought the score up to 10 points. Nebraska again kicked off from the center and after one down, which resulted unsuc- cesstully, the Indians kicked forty-five yards into the Negraska territory, but were pe- nalized the entire distance for holding, thus bringing the ball back to the point where the punt was made. The Cornhuskers p tially regained their lost spirits, straight- ened up their defense, and forced the In- dlans to resort to punting, which gave the Nebraskaus, the ball just beyond the center of the field, but in their own territory Plllsbury went stralght through the solid line of redmen for & gain of five yards, For the first time since the struggle began an Indian was injured, but after a sympaihetic (Continued on Fifth Page) CONDITION OF THE WEATHER Forecast for Nebras Baturday; Varlable Fale and Winds, Friday Temperature at Omaha Yesterday: » THAVKSGIVING DAY FOOT BALL.

Arnold and Heywood have both served terms in the penitentiary. The former is a clvil war veteran and the latter a young wan of 28, for a short time a mechanic em- ployed in the Havelock shops “The Gillilan murder is solved,” said De- tective Malone, “and the legal authorities now have the case In their own hands. 1 do not know what course the county at- torney will pursue, but I presume a com- plaint will be filed charging Heywood with murder. We don't know where Arnold s and dom't care, for we belleve that Hey wood is the man responsible for the crime. Arnold was surprised by the detective while he was visiting relatives at Havelock. He was told he was wantad on a burglary charge and no mention was made of the real suspicion that rested againgt him. The police authorities insist that the murder of Gillilan was the, result of an attempted holdup and have worked on this theory practically to the excluslon of all others. DINNER.

Crelghton Medics O, University Four thousand people voiced thelr ex ultation at the double victory of Omaha foot ball teams at Young Men's Christian Asso- ciation park yesterday and the youth of the city was loose in wild demonstration last night, for both the teams of local gridiron athletes had won and the dual achievement WAS one to be duly celebrated 81x to 0 was the score by which the Crelghton university team defeated (he Lincoln Medics, aud the Omaha High school Inds were victorious over the Genoa In dlans by a score of 11 to 6. The fact that both games were so close helped to make the occasion most memorable in Omaha foot ball circles, It was a great crowd that attended this, the culminating event of the foot ball scason for the two big Omaba teams-—grent particular, The grandstand was packed, both aides of the ficld and both ends were a mass of spectators, behind the crowd on the north side were many ear- riages and to top it all the row of high trees Just outside and to the east were bent far earthward under a load of youthful human frult. Both games were #o close that every sympathizing heart was on a strain till the close. Not 41} the last half minute of play did the High school boys snateh A victory and there was but one touchdown and a goal between the Croighton team and the doctors when time was called Proceedings Are Businossiike, Probably the most commendable feature of the entire contest, because of its novelty, was the emoothness with which the machinery of the management worked. A host of Omahans was out to spend its holiday and the time was not exhausted with futile quibblings and delays in getting NS &ardL TET DU A, wokioa ol taving both games of twenty-five-minute hulves was abandoned and as a consequence it was etill broad daylight when the event ended, with the clocks only striking the hour of 5. Just before the game occurred a little in- cident that was one of the prettlest features of the afternoon. An open carriage entered the gate and rolled up along the north side of the field. In it sat a boy with dark curl- ing hair and a rather pale face. It was a long caring across that fleld, but the eyes of the Omaha High school youths In the grandstand were keene enough for it, and it d1d not take them long to herald the visl tor. “Coryell! Coryell! Coryell!” they screamed and in a moment the whole field had taken up the cry. It was, indeed, tho High school halfback, suficlently recovered to attend the lnst game of the season and ece his teammates victorious for the last time. From then on “What's the matter with Coryell?" was as often voiced as any other slagan, and the response always came with a will. The boy's father and mother were with him. Of all the forty-seven players who strug- gled and strained on the fleld there was just one man who stood out from all the rest as of plainly different class and clay. Many stars there were, but only one Por- ter, and the wonderful little Indian full- back was the cause of many a short breath in the forty minutes that he played foot ball. In the ¥ first minute of the Omaha- Indian ga. e executed a coup of tha most brilliauc order, making a dodging run on a kickoff through the entire field for thirty yards that then and there stamped his work as phenomenal. Nor did he let the standard lower. Every play broug out mora of his abilities, and when the wholo affair was ended, every discussion of the afternoon invariably reverted to Por- ter and closed with the words: “But my, that fullback!" Porter 1s a Good Indian, Porter is not so hig, for many of his mates are larger. He weighs only 160 pounds with his foot ball togs on, and stands about five feet, seven inches. Nor 18 he experienced in the game, for it was ouly three years ago that “'Quewezent; his Chippewa parents named him, was My ing In the northern woods of Minnesota in & wigwam all the year 'round, knowing no word of Eoglish, and for sustenance de- pending upon the lakes in the summer and the forests In the winter. But fate and an ambitious father sent the boy to Genoa and now at the age of 19, although he is only in the common grades us a scholar, “Quewezentz” is capable of playing a game at fullback the ltke of which has never been seen in Nebrask Tt 1s not only that he starts like a shooting star, that he runs like a deer, that he dodges like a rabbit, that he tackles like & low-hung fiying ma- chine, that he crawls and slides and slips like an eel, that he plunges like a batter ing ram and that he hurdles like a hunter. There was something else about the silent Mttle Scott Porter. There was some in- definable air about him that made him a captain whether he had been one or not, that stamped him a leader, that made his men hang to him Itke leeches and support him like legions of chivalry, Was it fear- lessness”. Was it hypnotism Whatever it was, the quality would make him & place on any team in the country today. Lum tes Not in the Stellar attractions of a different varlety were Count Crelghton and Mayor Moores. When the whistle for the start of the first gamo was about to sound these two gen- tlemen appeared upon the fleld amid lout huzzas. The count then proceeded to kick off for fully four yards, at which Mayor Moores seized the ball and returned it to the center, when be baoted it in the other direction. This formality over and the people satisfied that all was square and above board, the real gumes began. The Crelghton team and the played two fifteen-minute halves. Medi, The
