Cnuxe of the Collision.
The collision is said to have been due
to a disregarding of orders on the part
of the crew of the wost-bound limited,
though full particulars on this point are
as yet lacking. From all accounts,
however, it 1s gathered that the east
bound train had orders to take 'the siding
at Fraeonla, and await the passing of
the west-bound flyer, which was run
ning two houra late, and trying to make
up time. The east-bound train failed to
reach the siding and, as the west-bound
train did not wait for it, the trains came
together without warning, and with an
awful crash. The boiler of the west
bound train Is said to have exploded Im
mediately after the crash, scalding to
death those of the engine crews who had
not been .killed outright. The bodies of
Case and Armitage, firemen on train No.
4, and Sam Brown, a waiter on train No.
, are missing, and -it it believed they
were cremated in the conflagration that
followed the cpllislon.
Scene of Avrful Confusion.
A scene of awful confusion followed the
crash. The massive engines piled up in
an indescribable mass of broken and
twisted steel, while the scalding steam
hung in a donse, suffocating cloud over
the debris, amidst which the agonizing
cries of the injured and dying enginemen
could be heard. The heavy Pullmans and
composite cars jammed the dining and
baggage cars upon the heated pile of de
bris, carrying death to the dining car
crews and setting the cars afire.
From the meager details of the scones,
gathered from the passengers, It is
learned that the sleeping cars, with one
or two oxpectlons, suffered slightly; as a
result, the passengers were affprdod com
parative Immunity from injury. So far
as learned, only three passengers suf
fered injuries of a severe -character, the
terrible results of the wreck being con
fined almost entirely to the train crews
and the emplojes of the dining car
service.
Relief Train to the Scene.
As soon as news of the wreck reached
Needles, which is the division headquar
ters of the West end, a relief train was
made up, and, attended by a numbor of
physipians from that point, was hurried
to the scene. As quickly as possible,
the Injured were placet! aboard, and
started west for Lps Angeles.
At Santa Fe headquarters In Los An
geles, It was stated that the blame had
not been definitely fixed, but from all ap
pearances If rests with the crew of the
west-bound train. Had it stopped at
Franconla, and allowed the east-bound
train to reach there, as the orders are
said to have read, there would have been
no wreck. For some reason yet to be
learned, however. It came on at full speed.
The west-bound limited oarried a full
passenger list from Eastera oltles. but it
appears none were injured.

MAY BE BODY OF LOJfG-LOST MAN'.
It Jfovr Seems J. Ttt Ducknunt, of
Hnrlsbur?, Met TVltU Foul Plaj
HARIfcSBURG, Qr ; Nov. 20 Great ex
citement wag -created here today when
word was 'brought in that the body of
X R. Bucknum, whe mystoriqpsly disap
peared on November IS;- 1S6S, while hunt
ing deer, in the Cascade Mountains, on
Shotgun Creek, about 20 miles east' of here,
Jvtd been found. The news was brought
here hy a party of hunters, Messrs: How-
ard, Hanchett and Quram, of Junction
City. They stated that while hunting -on
Shotgun Creek they met a man named
Martin, who told them ha had found a
grave and had dug Into It and found a
skeleton and portions of a red sweater.
Bucknum wore a red sweater at the time
he disappeared. The men said that Alar
tih lived near Crawfordville.
All the Information at hand was tele
phoned today to Alonzo Leach, of Craw
fordville, who found Martin living on
Brush Creek, about five miles from Craw
fordville. To Leach he admitted finding a
grave, but denied any knowledge of its
contents, although he asked Leach if the
missing man had a broken limb. He said
the reason he did not investigate into the
contents -of the grave, was because it was
against the law to do so, except in the
presence of an officer. He further said
he would go in a das- or .two with Mr.
Leach and show him the grave. Further
questioning availed nothing, as Martin,
according to Leach's statement, tried to
evade further details. It is believed he
has the reward which was offered in view,
but it has been withdrawn. If this should
provo to be the. body of Bucknum, the
circumstances of It being buried would
Indicate foul play. A party from this city
will .accompany Martin when he starts to
guide Leach to the graye.
Mr. Bucknum was a prominent citizen
of Harrlsburg and one of the owners of
the Harrlsburg sawmill.
HD IS A. LUCKY MIXER.
'Baker City Man Fired Lout Shot for
Luck It Brought Him Wealth.
BAKER CITY, Nov. 20. A new strlk
is reported out near the Phillips ranch, in
the vicinity of the Balsley-Elkhorn, which
from all accounts la a very rich propo
sition, A prospector by tho name of
Lambert has been working for some tim?
on a ledge that looked very well on the
surface, but when he began to sink on It
the vein matter did not -hold out. The
surface showing was so good .. that he
could not bring himself to believe he had
made a mistake, and that It was merely
a blind ledge. He kept on working until
a fe wdays ago, when, having exhausted
all his means, he made up his mind to
abandon the work, for a time at-least.
Having one charge of powder left, he.
thought he would fire It and quit. A
hole was drilled and the charge fired
with a result that was surprising as well
as exceedingly gratifying, as" it uncovered
Nfour-foot vein of copper-stained gold
bearing rock, that is said to be very rich.
Joe Buckley, who has been out to the
claim, says It has every, appearance of
being a well-defined true' fissure vein.
Greater Interest in Oil.
The Malheur oil district is attracting
more attention, locally now than It has
for some time, and some of the leading
business men of Baker City are begin
ning to take an interest in the matter.
Most of the people who have located
oil lands are from outside places, Port
land, Spokane, Seattle and other places,
east and west.
It has oeen rumored for several days
that a representative of the Standard
Oil Company was In Baker City inquir
ing Into the prospects for finding oil In
paying quantities in the Malheur dis
trict. If such a man is in Baker City,
ho has kept very quiet, which would not
be surprising in view of the fact that
if his presence was known the price of
oil lands would go up with a bound.
Coal Strike Xear Huntington.
Word comes from Huntington of a coal
strike near that place. Speclmons of the
coal brought to Baker City burn quite
freely, although It has a strong resem
blance to lignite. A force of men is
at work developing the vein, and It is
said by experts that the indications are
strongly in favor of its developing Into a
fair quality of coal.
Trying; to Get Gold Cached Away.
The new owners of the Phoenix mine
are having some trouble over a lot of
'rich ore said to have been etched by the
lessees Manager Crawford is on the
Idokout for the ore, which is said to be
very valuable, In the hope that he can
find It before It Is removed from the vi
cinity of the mine. One of the men who
worked in the mine is reported to have
shown a specimen recently that was
valued at 5400.

of Franklin Circuit Court, which sus
tained the decision of the State Contest

and holds that CJifton J. Pratt, of Hop
kins Co'unty, the Republican nominee, la
the legal officer. The decision of the court
is final, and directs that Breckinridge
retire Immediately from office. Breckin
ridge was on the Democratic ticket head- I
ed by William Goebel for Governor two
years agof and Pratt was on the Repub
lican ticket headed byW. S. Taylor for
Governor that year. Justice Sufty deliv
ered the opinion of the court, Judges
Burnard,. Dureele and O'Rear, Republi
cans, concurring. Judges Hobson, Payn
ter and White, Democrats, dissent from
this decision. Judge Breckinridge said
recently that if removed he would become
a candidate for the Democratic nomina
tion for Governor two years hence.
This case is tt.e last of the contests
growing out of the election of 1SS9. All of

fices, with the exception of Judge Pratt,
appealed immediately from the decision
of the State Contest Board, and a Demo

seating of the Democratic claimants.

of the higher court changed, and then filed
an appeal.

horrible aa an Insane Asylum or the grave. Little ills. If not promptly
cured, often result In obstinate chron:c diseases. I know that my new dla
coyery Js the most marvelous treatment ver known, and I intend to give
Its benefit to the world. I Intend that evr man. woman and child who
comes for treatment shall have it. I. propose to tell the sick, absolutely
free of charge, if they may be restored to peifcct health 1 would rather
be a benefactor to the sick man than to have the wealth of Croesus."
