TRAIN BUMPS THEIR HOME Workmen Rush Out and Pur sue Fleeing Brakemen. HAVE KNIVES AND CLUBS Trainmen Seek Shelter in Barn. Sheriff Sappington Conies to Res cue and by Ills Bravery Quiets the Gang and Saves Lives. VANCOUVER, Wash, Oct. 10. (Spe cial.) Philip Gay and John Pritchard, brakemen, had a narrow escape from death at the hands of a gang of enraged Italians this morning, and but for the bravery of Sheriff Sappington. who single-handed disarmed a crowd of 70 blood thirsty and maddened Italians ind placed them under arrest, a tragedy would have been enacted in the Union Pacific freight yards In this city. The train crew switched some cars on to the side track which was occupied by the cars of the Italians. As there is a heavy down grade the brakes failed to hold the cars and they rammed the house cars, badly scattering the contents of the cars. Out swarmed two score of the dusky foreigners armed with clubs and knives and made a dash for the trainmen. The brakemen leaped from the cars and ran down the track with the Italians in hot pursuit. For some min utes the chase was hot and It looked as if the white men must be overtaken. Take Refuge In a Barn. About 209 yards from the scene, of the accident the trainmen shed their coats nd raced on toward Fruit Valley, where there are farmhouses, intending to Beek shelter In one of these. The 40 foreign ers," close on the heels of the brakemen. brandishing thejr clubs and yelling, each swarthy face distorted with passion, made up a dangerous crowd. Five hundred yards up the track Is the home of A. R. Ketch, a frultralser, and in this house the fugitives took refuge. The Italians followed them to the gate and there stopped, muttering threats. The brakemen rushed on through the yard and hid in the barn. Mr. Ketch at once telephoned for help and Sheriff Sapplngton hurried to the scene. When he reached the Ketch home he found the brakemen still hidden In the barn, and a guard of four or five Italians surrounding the place. The rest of the crowd was standing about 100 yards down the track. Sapplngton ordered them to' lay down their arms. They refused to obey and started to grumble and crowd around the Sheriff, all the time muttering and making threatening gestures. Sheriff I'ses ITIs Revolver. "I saw right there," said the Sheriff when talking about the incident this evening, "that a firm stand was my only salvation. If I had started away 40 Italians would have been at me with clubs and knives In less than a minute, for every one of them had murder In his eye. Ju9t as one of them reached out to grab me I struck him with my fist and pulled my revolver at the same time. "If they can't understand American they know what a gun means and that gun had an electrical effect. Every man started down the track as If his life de pended upon his speed." The Sheriff managed to grab one of them before he could get away and or dered him to tell his fellows to stop. The man shouted something but the others failed to stop. , A shot or two from the Sheriff's gun, by which he managed to shower them with dirt and pebbles with out hitting them, had the desired effect and they all stopped but one. He got away Into the brush. The Sheriff disarmed them and started toward the cars, the men now showing every desire to obey the commands of the officer. Mob Marched Back to Town. He was Just complimenting himself on his fortunate escape, when he saw thirty more of the enraged Italians, armed much the same as the first gang, charg ing toward him down the track. Threat ening them with his gun and uttering stern commands, he unarmed them also and alone and single-handed, marched seventy angry Italians down the track to the cars and loaded them in. The man who escaped from the first crowd had gone to another camp further down the track. There he told a startling story to the men in that camp and got them started after the Sheriff. These re inforcements met the Sheriff coming up with the first two gangs. In the meantime the alarm had spread about the yards and fully a score of per sons were hurrying to the aid of the Sheriff. They met him. a gun in each hand and every faculty on the alert, with the big gang of Italians fully cowed and under his control. They were put into their ears and a criminal charge will probably be lodged against them. Gay Says Re Mas Badly Scared. Philip Gay, one of the brakemen pur sued, said In regard to his escape: "That's the worst scare I ever had and J hope I may never have another. I can Imagine how a man feels when he is facing "a mob which la after his life. I know that if that gang ever got hold of one of us they would have killed him in a minute. I thought they were going to get me before I could get off the car. I was some little distance behind and when my feet 'struck the ground the leader of the gang was not twenty feet away. When I once got 6tarted to sprint I believe it would have been an inspira tion to the great Kelly to see me run."

SINKS OFF ICELAND COAST Many Members of Wellman's Party Are Lost. MAJOR HERSEY INCLUDED Gallant Vessel Which Has Carried Several Arctic Expeditions Goes Down 'With Captain and Sixteen of Crew. COPENHAGEN, Oct. 10. The Arctic steamer Frithjof, which accompanied the Wellman .Chicago Record-Herald expe dition to Spitzbergen, was lost off Cape Langenes, Iceland, October 5. The cap tain and 15 of her crew were drowned. The engineer clung to a plank, on which he drifted ashore. The Frithjof was homeward bound to Norway, having been damaged by ice, and consequently was unaDle to with stand a storm which she encountered off Cape Langenes. The steamer Frithjof was built espe cially for exploration work In the ice fields of the Polar region, and had sur vived many terrific battles against the grinding loo packs of the North. Walter Wellman used the vessel to transport his Polar party nprthward In 1898, and again selected It to carry the airship, as well as all the supplies, from Tromsoe to Spitzbergen. The steamer was a veteran of the North Seas, and, tbougl" often beaten back by the grinding ice floes, the staunch little vessel would return to the attack and pound its steel-lined bow repeatedly into the masses of Ice. Walter Wellman had his first ex: perience' on the Frithjof when he was takon to. the ice fields to make his first attempt to reach the North Pole. From the deck of the same gallant steamer Anthony Flala, on the last Zlegler expedition, gazed on the pro posed field of hlB endeavor and saw the forces of nature Which he later found he was unable to master. The old ship was built ' tremendously strong, so strong that her captains have repeat edly driven her at full speed at the seemingly impregnable ice fields. The Frithjof would strike the Ice and re coil like a toy against the mighty forces opposing" Its passage north ward. It seemed as if the vessel would be grounds Into kindling wood, but each time It rebounded unhurt and ready to charge again. The1 vessel was a three-master, con structed on the accepted lines of the Arctic whaler, long, low and pinched from the keel up, so that in severe packs the ship could ride above and not be crushed beneath the ice. The Frithjof had a great spread of sail. The hull was of the finest oak, cross- timbered and reinforced with Australi an ironwood.. Only the prow and a few feet at the stern of the vessel were lined with steel as a protection against the ice. , The Frithjof had on board 40 per sons, among whom were Major Henry Blanchard Hersey, inspector of the United States Weather Bureau; Mel mm vin Vaniman, who built an aerial flight machine In Parts prior to join ing the expedition with, Wellman. and possibly Dr. Walter N. Fowler, of Bluffton. Ind.. and Felix Rlesenberg, ef Chicago. The ship conveyed -the ballooning material and the provisions to Spitzbergen, from which base, 713 statute miles from the pole, the jour ney by aerial flight was attempted, which had to be abandoned in August, after several unsuccessful ventures, because of high and adverse winds. The Frithjof was making her way to Trnmsoe, Norway, from which point she sailed earlier In the year. This at- INHABITANTS ON MARS. PANAMA. Oct. 10. (Special.)

ROMANCE PROVES TRAGEDY Couple Find They Are First Cousins an Hour After Marriage. - . SPOKANE. Wash., Oct. 10. (Special.) Five days after her marriage to Clifford Twichell, Lelta May Twitchell yesterday filed suit in the Buperior Court for di vorce. They were married last Saturday, and being first cousins, the marriage was not valid. The young people did v not know that they were violating the stat ute when they became man and wife. They were married at 4 o'clock last Saturday afternoon and separated within an hour. The bridegroom is 19 and the bride a few months younger. They were related through his father and her mother being brother and sister. Their marriage was in the nature of an elope ment. While both had practically been lifelong residents of Spokane, they had not been thrown much in each other's company. During the past two years their friendship grew into love. Quietly slipping off last Saturday, they were married. The ceremony being performed, they returned home to await the coming of their parents and a subsequent surprise. It came in a way that was not antici pated and not relished. They were noti fied that they had violated the law and were amenable to punishment. Quickly it was decided to separate, and the girl went to the home of a brother. DETROIT SUFFERS SECOND 'DEFEAT Chicago Wins by Vigor ous .Hitting. ; EASILY FINDS TWO PITCHERS Siever's Curves Prove Easy, Killian's No Better. JUST ESCAPED A -SHUTOUT Kllllan Scores Only Run for Anier. leans Two More Chances to Score Thrown Away Crowd Is, Smaller, but Enthusiastic. CHICAGO. Oct. 10. The Detroit Amer ican League team suffered its second successive defeat at the hands of the Chicago Nationals today, scoring only one run. Chicago tallied live times, four of the runs being the result of solid hit- ting. Slever started to pitch for De-' trolt. but t'e locals took kindly to his curves and batted him out of the box in four innings. Kllllan then took up the work and was found for three hits and -another run in the fifth. Detroit tried vainly to break through the Chicago defense. Reulbach pitched strongly in the opening innings and, when he showed signs of weakening in the fifth and sixth innings, his team-. mates came to his rescuo with fast double plays. For some unexplalnahle reason the game failed to attract the usual large crowd to the grounds. The official at tendance figures made the total 13,114 and the. many empty spaces in the ex tended bleachers made the gathering ap pear smaller than this. Fast Play Arouses Bleachers. The crowd was more demonstrative than the big outpourlnj? of Wednesday. Reulbach's brilliant pitching In the early Innings and the crashing hits of Stein feldt, Evers and Shectard roused the Chicago partisans, while the Detroit contingent cheered the more heartily, so that the visiting team might not think itself deserted. The play was much faster than on th preceding days. Only thirteen batsmen faced Reulbach In the first four innings, while the Chicago hitters lost no time in straightening out Siever's benders. The first run came in the second inning, when Steinfeldt lined the ball over third base,, reaching second on the hit. Kling sac rificed and Evers stung a double ovei first base. Steinfeldt scored. But Evers was left when Schulte and Tinker were retired on lnfteld grounders. t . ' Second Run to Make Sure. With Reulbach going at top speed, that one run looked good enough to win, but just to make the result certain, the Nationals went after Siever's curves savagely in the fourth. Steinfeldt hit a long fly to centerfield to start the v inning, Jones getting the ball near the . boundary. Kling followed with a hard single to right. Evers sent him to third with another drive to the same place, and Schulte dropped a fly In center, Kling scoring. Evers tried to make third on the hit, but was caught and run down by a swarm of Detroit play ers, Schulte advancing to second. Tinker lifted a hard fly to Jones, but the left fielder dropped the ball, Schulte scoring and Tinker going to Third. Reulbach cut a low ball over second base, sending ' Tinker home.. Coughlin then caught Slagle's high fly. Changes Pitchers In Vain. Manager Jennings decided that Slever had failed to make good, so Kllllan ap peared In the next Inning. He was greeted warmly enough, two doubles and a hard single being gleaned off his de livery. Only One run resulted, however, as the hits alternated with outs. Chance secured the first double, and conse quently scored the i-n. For the next three innings tho locals went out in order, except in the seventh, when Stein feldt received a base on balls after two were out. Kiing's high twisting foul to Coughlin followed. Detroit's Lonesome Ron. . Detroit lost its first chance to score in the fifth because Tinker intercepted a liner and turned the catch into a double play. Rossman was first up and was safe when his hard-hit grounder bounced , off Tinker's ankl- Coughlin was passed and Schmidt's grounder down the first base line advanced both runners. O'Leary smashed a hard liner at Tinker, and the latter jumped, caught the ball,' and stepped on second base ahead of Cough lin, retiring the side. The run came In the next Inning. Kll llan made the first clean hit off Reul bach, Jones received a base on ball and then was doubled up with Schaefer In a lightning play, Steinfeldt to Evers to Chance.. Crawford and Cobb fallowed with hits, Kllllan scoring on the former, but Slagle went back to the stand and captured Rossman's effort.' Last Chance Is Lost. Another chance to score was lost in the next .session. With one down, Schmidt walked, O'Leary strucic out. and Killlan scratched a hit toward Evers. Jones was not equal to the emergency, going out. Rossman started the ninth with a hit, but was forced at second by 4"toncluded on Pal T )
