Others Are Held.
LA GRANDE. Or., July 4. (Special.)
Two men picked up by Deputy Sher
iff F. A. Bachelor at Hllgard tonight
are held in connection with the hunt
for the fugitives who escaped after
the holdup of O.-W. R. & N. passenger
train Thursday morningr. The descrip
tion of both men tally with that of the
mlBslns holdup men in several partio
lars. One of the suspects, who gave his
name as Clarence Stoner, of Lincoln
County, Wyoming-, has admitted that
he is a first cousin of Hugh Whitney,
the notorious Idaho bandit, thought to
be slain. He avers, however, that he
has not seen Whitney for a number
of years.
Stoner wore an olive drab shirt and
a dark hat. The other man gave his
name as Albert E. Meadors, of Louis
ville, Ky. A light shirt and dark hat
worn by Meadors corresponds to the
description of one worn by one of the
fugitives.
When picked up by Bachelor the
men appeared worn out by much travel
and were unable to give any satisfac
tory story as to their whereabouts on
the night of the holdup. Both say
they are sheepherders.
Stoner appears to be nervous, but
Meadors is calm.
Silver, gold and currency to the
amount of 1282.26 was taken from the
two men. as well as a black silk ban
dana handkerchif. A pocketknlfe, scis
sors and razor were also taken from
the men, but no guns or Jewelry was
found. They are being held in the
County Jail here for investigation to
morrow. Hilgard is eight miles west of here.
"XOT WHITNEY," SATS AGENT
Slain Bandit Is Charles Manning,
Declares Short Line Man.
SALT LAKE. Utah. July 4. (Spe
cial.) Messages received here tonight
bv Joseph Jones, chief special agent
of the Oregon Short Line, stated posi
tively the bandit who was killed in the
attempted holdup of an Oregon-Washington
Railway & Navigation Company
train Thursday near Meacham, Or., was
nt Hugh Whitney, the notorious des
perado, as at first reported, but
Charles Manning. Jones has had his
men working in an effort to appre
hend the members of the gang who
escaped, and the message came from
them in the form of a report stating
that they were confident the slain man
was not Whitney.
A check found on the person of the
outlaw was made out in the name of
. Charles Manning" on a Salt Lake
bank, signed by C. Wood, a cattleman,
and called for $150. Jones says he is
confident the bandit is Manning, but
said he was not at liberty to make
known the details of the identification
at this time.
He notified Manning's brother at
Cokeville, Wyo.. to proceed to Oregon
and view the body. Manning was as
sociated with' the Whitney gang in
Cokeville and credited with the murder
of a Wyoming Marshal.
SUSPECT HELD AT NAMPA
Frank Blaln Arrested With Empty
Ksprests Money Sack.
BOISE, Idaho, July 4. (Special.)
Found in possession of an empty ex
press company money sack, believed to
be one of several taken from the ex
press car of the Oregon-Washington
Railway & Navigation Company's pas
- senger train No. 6 last Thursday, when
the train crew was held up and Hugh
Whitney killed, a suspect named Frank
Blaine, believed to be one of the four
robbers, was taken into custody at
Nampa tonight by Chief of Police Ma
loney. Blaine is being held pending
the arrival of a railroad detective late
tonight or early tomorrow morning.
When arrested Blaine was in the
Nampa railroad yards attempting to get

passenger train. He was taken to po
lice headquarters and searched.
The canvas money bag marked "$500"
was taken from one of his pockets.
When a demand was made as to how
he came Into possession of the bag,
Blaine said he picked it up near Pen
dleton, from which city he said he rode
on the blind baggage to Nampa.
He gave his age as 17 and declared
when questioned that he knew noth
ing about the train robbery. He was
dressed in overalls and Jacket. Chief
Maloney says he looks more like 35
years of age than 17. Blaine is a hard-'
looking customer, from accounts of the
Nampa authorities. Since his arrest he
has been exceedingly nervous. Noth
ing of value was found on his person.
" There was no money In the sack.
PENDLETON, Or., July 4. (Special.)

pects, one at La Grande and one at
Nampa, Idaho, there have been no de

About Train Holdup.
"No one deserves any credit in con

robber, Hugh Whitney, excepting
George McDuffy," says A. E. Murphy,
of Burns, who was a passanger on the
O.-W. R, & N. train that was held up
near Meacham a few days ago, and who
was credited, in first reports, with fir
ing a shot at the bandits.
"I was not In the same car where the
shooting took place," explained Murphy

CHICAGO, July 4. (Special.) July 4,
formerly the terror of parents, fire In
surance companies and others having
at heart the conservation of life and
property, is rapidly losing its "teeth"
as the sane and safe idea spreads over
the country.
Incomplete returns from practically
the entire country up to 11 o'clock to
night place the total dead at 15 and in
jured at approximately 306, although
this figure will be increased as a few
other accidents are reported. The total
fire loss, up to H o'clock, was esti
mated at S124.000.
Comparative Figures Eloquent.
. Some idea of the spread of the safe
and sane idea can be gained by compar
ison of these figures with the "celebra
tions" six years ago. when the total
killed was 44, the injured 2861 and the
fire loss 3724,515. In 1912 there were
20 deaths, 648 njuries serious enough
to be classified, and a fire loss of $576,
625. The carnage rose again In 1913,
the total killed being 32 and injured
1131, but the fire loss dwindled to
S122.680.
This increase in fatalities and cas
ualties aroused the authorities all over
the country, and In nearly all cities
stringent laws were adopted restricting
the sale of explosives. In Chicago and
many other cities no dealer was per
mitted to have for sale any giant fire
crackers, toy pistol, bomb or other con
trivance that would cause injury. The
explosives permitted were limited to
sparklets, colored fire and small crack
ers and torpedoes.
Manufacturers Meet Issue.
.Manufacturers, unable to place any
of the former explosives, turned out
harmless contrivances' which exploded
paper by force Of air. In Chicago any
one desiring to use any other kind of
explosive was compelled to go out of
the city to buy it and use it.
The result Is that the child popula
tion is practically, all accounted for and
the fire department had a day of
leisure. In this city, during the 24
hours ended at 6 o'clock tonight, there
were only seven alarms of fire and only
one of these was attributed to fire
works. This is a remarkable ecord
when compared with former celebra
tions, when engines and hose carts
were tearing through the streets all
day and night and fighting for right-of-way
with ambulances and the auto
mobiles of physicians answering emer
gency calls. .
Dynamite Cap Kllla Child.
The most shocking fatality reported
occurred in Dayton. Pa. William
Clever, 2 years old, bit on a dynamite
cap which was to be used in setting
oft dynamite for the Fourth. The cap
exploded, killing the baby instantly
and setting off the dynamite. The ex
plosion injured the baby's brother and
sister, Fred Clever, aged 6, and Grace
Clever, aged 4, so badly that physicians
say they cannot live. John Wargney
lost his right hand. The dynamite and
the cap were taken to the Clever home
by a friend, who was preparing the
charge when the baby got hold of the
cap

BOY DROWNS IN SLOUGH
Grnppler Brady Hurt After Trying
to Find J. Morris.
J Morris the 20-year-old son of L. L,
Morris, 417 East Seventy-fourth street,
North, was drowned yesterday while
swimming in the Columbia Slough,
about three miles north of Eightieth
street. The body was not recovered.
A man named Simon was swimming
with the boy. A few yards from the
shore the boy threw up his hands and
sank. Municipal Grappler Brady was
sent for, but several hours' work failed
to locate the body. Mr. Brady thinks
that the current has carried it some
distance. ...
Mr. Brady sustained a strained back
and severe bruises when the wagon on
which he was returning from his
search for the body tipped over on the
Sandy road, about two miles from the
city limits. He was caught beneath
the box, with his grappling apparatus
on top of him. His injuries were not
serious and he was taken to bis home.
