Kansai City, crashed into an excunion
loiith bound from Kansas City, that
hail become stalled at "Dead Man's
Curve" between Little Knob and Lee
Summit, at 10:25 this morning. Three
persons were killed, two of them
tramps, and 50 were injured. With

ran on the fast mail went down an em
bankment, but the rest of that train re
mained npright, as did the excursion
train. Only the engine, one baggage
ctr and a mail car on the fait mail left
the track.
Responsibility for the wre k seems
to rest with the engineer of the tatt
mail, who failed to stop promptly when
tiafrged. The engine on the excursion
tiain, which consisted of 12 coaches
heavily loaded, broke down. A flag
man was sent ahead to stop the fust
mail then alout due. The engineer ol
the fast mall failed to see the foremost
flagman and only slackened up when
warned by the second man, who was
within a short distance of the exenrs
ion train. The fast mail was running
at a high rate of speed and it was un
able to come to a full ttop. When the
fast mail itruck, it was making 15
miles an boar. The engine, the bag
gage car and the foremost mail car left
the tract and rolled down the em
bankment. The empact badly damaged
the engine and baggage car of the ex
camion train, bat the cars remained
upright.

way excavation at Lexon aveune and
One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street,
after jumping from a burning trolley
car, on which they had a thrilling ride
for several blocks, while the motorman
was making desperate attempts to reach
a fire engine house. The car was filled
with about 80 passengers, mostly women
and children. When they discovered
the fire many tried to jump, but the
motorman put on the full power. He
had not gone two blocks before the car
was enveloped in flames.
The conductor saw that there was
danger of burning the whole carload of
passengers and rang the bell. The car
came to a stop right over the excava
tions for the subway. The passengers
piled off on top of one another. The
planking over the bole collapsed and
about 25 persons were carried down.
Those on the bottom wire severely
bruised, but only one was in a serious
condition.

Land Buyers la the Air.
The announcement a few days age

In Oregon lieu land selections, discloa
es something entirely new in the lane
matters in Oregon. Nona of the statr
land office attaches have ever before
heard of a ciar list being disapproved
This unusual action on the part of the
srcietary of the interior it conclusive
proof. If any further proof ia necea

to be scrutinized with utmost care
The disapproval of these clear list?
occasioned no small surprise, though
the action is entirely to accordance
with the rules of practice in the de
partment of the interior.
