ALLEN Phone 711 - - Phone 2871 Uniontown Branch, Phone 713 CAR OF DYNAMITE (Continued from page 1) the railway station on a small town at train time, some of them draymen and depot employes, there on business; a few passengers, bound for nearby towns, and many others who had tome to see the train come in. The explosion occurred without warning and the unfortunates had no time to escape. The explosion was of such force that it tore a great hole in the ground where the car had stood and hurled pieces of the wrecked car and the platform in all directions. The town was shaken as if by an earth quake and the explosions was heard for a radius of SO miles. Most of the wreckage fortunately was sent in the epposite direction from the platform and depot and to this fact alone may be laid the small loss of life. Unusual excitement followed the explosion, but as quickly as possible the dead and dying were carried to nearby houses and cared for. The telegraph wires were snapped by the explosion, cutting off communication by that means with the outside. For this reason the reporting of the de tails was delayed. As soon as the neighboring towns were apprised of the catastrophe aid was sent it from half a dozen places. THREATENS McALLIS TER (Continued from page 1) made in violation of the law, offer them for sale in the open market at the going price, or for the best price he can get, and turn the net proceeds over to the hatchery fund. This he Bas done in the Seufert Bros, case, and he says he has taken great pains sot to overstep the provisions of the troublesome statute. An interesting feature of the1 newest developments in the fish war is the fact that Warden McAllister and F. A. Seufert are old time friends, and now they are put in the position of mutually charging each other with being law breakers and commissioners of high crimes. Master Fish Warden McAllister de clares he will have the Seuferts ar rested every time he catches them opertaing their seines or wheels, and they declare in turn that they will keep right on fishing just as if noth ing had happened, and every time Mc Allister .seizes their fish they will prefer additional charges of grand larceny. It was reported to Master Fish Warden McAllister that the Seuferts began violating the law as soon as the new statute went into effect which was on the opening dap of the Fall season, September 10, but until yes terday, McAllister had no chance to make an investigation. He found Seuferts' men operating seines close to the Washington shore and was in formed that the wealthy cannerymen had also been fishing on the Oregon side. McAllister telegraphed Govern or Chamberlain for permission to use an engine and care of the portage rail road to make a secret trip to near where the unlawful fishing was going n. With the "goods" found on the Seuferts, McAllister drafted the Sher iff of Wasco county and two deputies fnto service, and armed with warrants notified the Seuferts that they, were tinder arr t.
