Five cars left the track and were burned. Five passen- gers were injured, but none Kkilled. The fire from the cars and the ex- | plosion of the tanks set fire to the Plainfield flour mills near the track, which was a total loss. The plant of | | the Plainfleld Cablnet Company was almost totally destroyed. | AR S s HERO OF THE WRECK. | Porter Saves Sleeping-Car at the Risk | of His Own Life. | EDEN, Colo., Aug. 8.—W. Vance, porter on the forward sleeping-car Wyiuta, was one of the heroes of the disaster. To him and his nerve and; bravery the people on that car owe| their lvcs. | Vance was standing near th2 front | end of the car when the crash came and with rare presence of mind rushed tc the hand brake on the front of the car and began tightening the brakes | on the wheels. His car was slipping forward from the momentum and | from the terrible drag in front. caused | by tke forward cars 1alling into the | streani. | Vance held on to ihe brake like| grim death. His hands clenched the wheel until his fingers almost bled, but he held on until his tight grip | stopped the car. The forward cars broke from the sleeper and fell into the water, while the car which Vance | had held with the brake stopped one- third of the way on the brink of the! chasm, overhanging the gulch below. The forward trucks had left the track and gone down, but the remainder ot the coach stayed on the tracks and the lives of the passengers were saved. It required two engines and nearly a half hour’s work to pull this sleeper back from the brink of the chasm. Nothing but Vance's cool and brave work at the brakes kept the car from plunging ‘nto the stream. TRAIN WRECKED AT CISCO. Three Persons Are Hurt in a Rear- End Collision. RENO, Ne Aug. 8. — Passenger 4, east bound, was wrecked at Cisco to-night at 7:30 o'clock, being run into by the push engine of freight train No. within fifty yards of the depot. Only three people were injured, but that one hundred and fifty or more passengers on board the train were not killed is due to the fact that the en- gineers in charge of the two engines pulling the passenger train brought their trains to a stop in time. The injured are: W. E. Mc( 2616 Center street, San Franci was on his way to the World’s Fair. His injuries consist of a painful lacera- tion on the left cheek and under the eye, together with a number of bruises about the head and body, caused by being hit by flying splinters and iron. Miss Albinson of Minneapolis, who was returning home from a visit to friends in California, was injured by flying glass. Alfred Goss, a retired business man of San Francisco, on his way to Bos- ton, was seriously hurt. He is injured internally and on account of his ad- vanced age the outcome cannot be de- termined. Dr. Ainswick was on the train at the time. He was riding in Superintendent Agler’s private car and as soon as he could extricate himself from the wreckage in his car went to work aiding the injured. The dining-car suffered most. One | end was entirely demolished. The car was filled with passengers at the time and the shock was like a thunderbolt. ‘Women and men were knocked to the floor, some screaming with fright, oth- ers intent on escape and still others thinking of only one thing, to aid the injured, but fortunately their services | were not needed. | POSSES AFTER FOLR BANDITS Wyoming Rangers Pursue Desperate Thugs Who Tried to Wreck Atlantic Express oyt erred to and n e business of G.

Settle Fight for Control of Politics in Wisconsin AFE SoohnlE Governor La Follette Says! Struggle in Convention Has | No Bearing on State Row | —_— Spectal Dispatch to The Call. ! MILWAUKEE, Aug. 8.—The secund: (round in the fight between the forces led by Senator Spooner and those lad! by Governor La Follette for the control of the State will open at Madison to- morrow. The first round took place at| the National Republican Convention | and was won by Spooner. The Governor and his friends say that Spooner’s victory does not count, the | national convention has nothing to do with State affairs. They have the po- | litical machinery of the State in their | hands and will place the La Follette| State ticket in the regular Republican column on the official ballot. Whichever side has the official name will have great advantage. \ To prevent this going to the La Fol-' lette faction the Spooner men will ask the Supreme Court to act as referee. The request will come in the form of a petition for an alternate writ of man- damus against Secretary of State House, a La Follette man, demanding that he place the Spooner ticket in the regular Republican column or show cause why. Senator Spooner came here from his summer home in New Hamp- | shire a week ago to consult with the at- torneys on the anti-La Follette side| and to put the finishing touches to the case. Governor La Follette, through his in- timate friends, says that no matter what the Supreme Court says he will | run. They say he will get votes wheth- | er his name is on the front or back of | the official ballot, and that, further-| more, they claim he will be elected.
