WAS THE WORK OF FIENDS.
San Francisco, June 6. A special to the Bulletin

donbt that the terrible wreck cf the South-bound Oregon
express last night at n:io o'clock five miles south of Red
ding iu which Engineer White and Firemau Van Tassel,
were killed, was the work of fiends, who opened the switch
with the deliberate iutentiou of sending the train to des.
tructiou. Possibly they were
disappointed in that, no passeuger coaches were wrecked,
and they went away without
traiu.
Investigation shows that

The bolt was found 20 feet up the track. The nut could
not be found.

The total number of troops killed iu action or who died of
wounds is 7792, vhile the total number of deaths from
disease is 13,250. These figures bear out the statement of
old Oom Paul Kruger at the
cost will stagger humanity."

Portland, June 7. President Roosevelt has been iu-
vited to visit Crater Lake this
Portlaud bent on that purpose,

fhe election of governor will be so close as to make a con
test before the legislature or in the courts possible.
