W • certainly hail a most delightful
trip but to understand how wonderful
it was you would have to see it for
»ourselves. The first stop was Salt
Lake Uity, where we took u sightsee

city but the surrounding country as
well. The Mormons were certainly
were preserving people to wrench not
only u living but built up a beautiful
city in that ulkili soil. Every shrub
and tree ha. been set out and has to
be watered every day und every lawn
is made of soil “hipped in. The pastel
colorings of the lake itself made a
sight never to be forgotten.
The next day we had the thrill of
going through the Royal Gorge. We
pent nearl ya week in Colorado get
ting acquainted with a sister-in-law
with whom we had corresponded for
years but never seen.
I)o you remember Frank Tebow
and wife who furnished the music for
some special mee tings Rev. Pogue put
on? We visited them in Malcom,
I own, where he hud held a pastorate
in the Baptist church for two years
But to our surprise he had resigned
to go to school some more. They were
going to Chicago the evening o f the
same day we started for Topeka.

Two damage suits, each for $10,-
000, against the Southern Pacific
company and L. C. Williams were
yesterday filed in circuit court by rel
atives of two o f the ftvi women who
were killed I.abor day hi a train acci
dent near Turne.-. Plaintiffs in the
suit are A. E. Robertson, administra
tor o f the estate o f Ayline Robertson,
and H. M. Barnett, administrator of
the estate o f Inez Barnett.
Williams was the engineer o f the
train which struck the car in which
the Turner women were riding, going
to Salem to work in the canneries.
The complaint accuses the South
ern Pacific company and its agent,
the engineer, o f careless and negli-
fence in the operation o f the train
and alleges that, contrary to the ordi
nance No. 72 o f the city o f Turner
regulating speed o f trains in the cit;
limits, the defendant was driving said
train at speed in excess o f 35 miles
an hour, and from 60 to 65 miles an
hour.
The complaint further alleges that
defendants failed, upon approaching
crossing, to blow a whistle, ring a bell
or give any signal; and in failing to
keep a proper lookout for vehicular
traffic upon the public crossing.
Ayline Robertson was 17 years old
and Inez Barnett 15 years old when
killed. Both were in good health the
complainants state and had they lived
during their expectancy, each would
have saved and accumulated money
an.l property, thq estate
which in
each case would amount *to $10,000.
