OreeoD Mali's Desperate Fursoit of Truant Wife Has Sought Her ; in Four States and Will " follow H r Paramour "" to the End of the . Earth. Grand Rapids, Mich., Die. 26. Eighteen are dead and thirty-one injured, several of them fatally, as the result of the collision early this evening of two passenger trains on the Pere Marquettr Railroad, ooe half mile of East Paris, about six miles east of this city. .The colli sion, which. was head on, was caus ed, according to a statement made by the officials of the road at the general offices in Detroit, -by the high wiod blowi&g out - the red sig nal lamp at McCerd's, wheie the west-bound traiq, No.' 5, should have stopped and received orders to pass tbe east-bound train at box. According to tbe statement of the officials, the traips-were originally to have met and passed at Oikdale Parkj but to help the east-bound train tbe dispatcher issued new or ders, fix'ng Fox as tbe meeting place.' The east-bound train receiv ed the same order at McCord's. Iti-, stead it rushed by this station, and the operator there, after reporting this fact, found on going our. on the platform that his red light, which had been burning two minutes be fore, was out, presumably n in guifched by tbe high wind that was blowing. : The trains met with a terrible crash, the baggage and smok ing cars behind each locomotive be ing instantly reduced to a pile of kindling wood. The engines were completely wrecked, the boiler of tbe engine which had pulled the east-bound train being torn com Dlbtelv from the running eeer .and standing perpendicularly in a ditch at tbe erae oi the tractt. Engineer Frank Waterman, who survive! the catastrophe, says he and E. B Moon, the fireman, were caught before they had time to eave themselves He savs he did' not 'see tbe east-bound tram until tbe crash came. iNo person occupying tne cars other than the baggage and smoking cars, with very few excep tions, were seriously injured. - Guided by groans and cries trotn the wrecked cars, the rescuers, by tbe light of lanterns, delved into tbe wreckage and with fence . tim bers for levers, pried out the suffer era. A special tram bearing surgeons and officials was made up here im mediately after the news was re ceived and arrived at the "wreck at 7:15 o'clock. .' Those of the injured who bad been extricated - were lm mediately taken into tbe train and given emergency surgical aid and tbe. otnciaU loined in . tbe rescue work. vWhen all the injured. had been taken out of tbe wreck, tbe hospital train was rushed back to Grand Rapids where ambulances - were in waiting to carry them to the hos pitals where all arrangements had been made for the reception. -When the special train returned to Grand Raoids it brought five bodies in addition to its load of in iured. Rescuers say they saw at least three more bodies tinder the wreckage, where only a derrick could extricate them when the spc cial train left the scene. . ' "Three persons were killed right in front of my eyes," said Miss Eva Streeter tonight, as she sat by the bedfide of her mother at the hos pital. 1A man, a woman and a little boy were sitting in front of my mother, and she was just one seat ahead of me. We -were going home to Grand Ledge. - All that I remember was that there was a crash, and when I opened my eyes the car was all wrecked and the bodies of those three could not be found. They were under the wreck age. I do not know their names." Ledter A. Williams, of Lansing, was taken out of tbe wreck, his left arm torn from its socket so that the surgeons had to separate it from his body with a penknife! Jtja reported that, several more bodies, including twp women, have been taken from- the wreck, . since the special y train came from , the scene. San Francisco, Dec. 24. If the dittiict attorney is on the right trail, be will put before the grand jury the harrowing details of the murder of Mabel B-chtel. The of ficial says that he will produce evi dence to show that tbe girl's entire family bad a band inher taking off. nere is tue story or the murder as tbe police build it up: Mabel was . engaged to a' man named Ebstein, of whom the fam uy approved, but was much in the company of a rival named Weisen- berger and had lately accompanied him to rhuadeipbi. Her brother a man oilow intelligence, remons trated with her. The .night she was killed the came home from a ride- with Weisenberger and found them waiting for her. one confessed to them where she bad been, and with whom. A quarrel followed and he seized a hatchet. There was a' short struggle, the hatchet cime down on the girl's skull and crashed through it like an eggshell. The family then tried to conceal the crime. San Francisco, DQc. 24. Weary from a search of four states, but un daunted ' in his - determination to find his deceiving wife, I. B. Small, a hotel man of Oswego, Or., arriv ed late last night. 'He was at the hall of justice bright and early this morning to .confer with the police. , Small is net vicious in his pursuit, but desires to find his rec reant spouse so that he can per suade her to abandon a man named John Grant, with whom Mrs. Small eloped from Portland tome time ago. Small aays he will do what he can for the woman for his chil dren's' eufce. Me says - the man Grant will go to jail if- he has to trail him to the end of the earth. In December, 1902, Grant worked on the railroad near Oswego and met Mrs. Small, who . is a young good-locking and, quiet woman She seemed to be hypnotized by Grant, aad her infatuation led to many meetings with him and her sub-equent disappearance. Prom Oswego tbe bmalls remov ed to Portland about six monthe ago. In August of this year the elopement took" place. 7. - ". Small traced the couple to the Dalles, and from there to Astoria and Seattle. After 25 nights and days of continuous search be locat ed the. erring ones at McMurray, Wash. ' Before he : could reach that town, however, they bad taken their departure, and then he lost all trace of them. Small was Informed that a couple answering their description had been seen in British Columbia. He visited the leading town? in the northern province, but failed to find a clue. He then searched Eaetern Washington and Idaho. , Small next turned his steps to ward Montana, and! , after making a thorough searcb of that state re turned to Seattle and took a steam er to this city. Accompanying him on his remarkable pursuit are bis three children two boys and, a girl. . Mr. Small plainly stated - today that he bad no intention of harm ing his wife if he found her, but in reply to a queetion relative to what action he would take if he encount ered Grant he said something about not missing his first shot.- ' Small is a middle-aged man of good address, and determination is is expressed in every feature. He looks fatigued after his long jour ney, but declares that he will CDn- tinne tbe searcb. ; He is particularly anxious to find his wife so as to make a property settlement with her and then eend the woman to ber relatives at Ger vais. Or. , Small has sent out circu lars describing the mn and woman to all parts of the Ucitedd States and Canada, and is now sending them to other parts of the world offering a reward for any substan tial information. He keeps his lit tle children well dressed and is of -excellent appearance himself. -. r Los Angeles, Dec. 25.

EATS HUMAN FLESH- KING- OF CANNIBAL ISLANDS DINED ON BRITISH SHIP. ; Queer Customs of Himself and Hiss -People Fattest Men of Tribes -' Reserved for Eating Girl ; n 0 : . Given aa Present to . British Captain. Philadelphia, Dec. 22. Tcrbava entertained tbe king of a tribe- of African cannibals at dinner and to. have been presented with one of tho ruler's dusky daughters in appre ciation of the courtesy was the U nique experience of Captain F. L Foote, of the British barkentinw Mary Hendry, just arrived nerf and docked at Brown street wharf. Captain Foote spent several weeks in cruising along tbe African coast,, and the natives, in the lipe of se curing trade-with him, mide . him the recipient of various crudn gifts. In relating some of his experiences Captain Foote said: . ; "King Ogby, whom I entertained at dinner, is the ruler of the Jak rimen, who inhabit Southern Nige ria. He was much impressed with, the vessel and was much startled when he partook of roast pork. H asked whether it was white, or black man's meat. , Ogby is one of tbe most prosperous rulers on the coast. He has more than a thous and slaves, numerous wives and couutless children. A few hours after he left me a young native girl presented herself to me. She said that she was a daughter of Ogby and that he bad sent her to me as a gift. Of course I declined with thanks. While I was entertaining tha king I remarked to him that X would like a piece of tanned skin- for the pnrposs of making a pair of slippers. The next day one of Og by's slaves came to the vessel with the hide of a negro, from the neck to tbe waist. I was told that when Oiby went ashore he ordered . that. one of his subjects be killed in or der to secure tbe skin. King Og by 'd tribesmen eat little else than human flesh,, and certain of the more robust are singled out to be killed for each meal. Of course in time of battle they subsist on the slain bodies of their enemies. "It is remarkable to see what re ally expert workmen .these Jakri- men are. It is cbmmonly believed that they have inherited the lost arts of Egypt, as their country ia directly west of that land. Ther mine their own copper and gold. From the copper they make, the strange coins of the country, and also manufacture bowls and other utensils, which they decorate with rare designs. Perhaps a more re markable thing, however,' is the -fact that they make rings out of gold, and one which was given to me is engraved with tbe VZ signs of the zodiac. No white man has ever' discovered how they work the met als. ' "The musical . instruments of King Ogby 'a tribe are unique. One of them, I believe, is tbe primitive banjo, being constructed of palm fibres stretched on reeds fastened in a box. They make strange use of these instruments. . In war times tbey signal to one another and hold. conversations by striking various notes and cords. Among the things 1 received from Ogby were two wooden paddles from tbe City of Blood. This place is so called be cause every year tbe natives sacrv -fice several hundred of their num ber on the altars of. their Juju idols." , Grip, Captain Foote's English bull terrier, was banished from Af rica by Sir Ralf Moore, - governor of Southern Nigeria, and ibe cap tain took him aboard tJie vessel and -saved the dog's life. Gr;p is ex ceedingly antagonistic to four-foot- ed animals, and killed a valuable horse belonging to the official. The dog clung with such tenacity to tbe horse s throat that it was ne cessary to use a crowbar in prying open his jaws. v ;- Leave vour orders for oysters at - Zier- - oIFs on Tuesday. . ..
