Count Badeni sent his seconds to Dr. Wolff, who ac­ cepted the challenge.

In reply he received not only permis­ sion to fight, bat also the imperial ap­ proval. Count Badeni then made his will, after which he spent the evening at the Jockey Club and a pleasure re­ sort. His wife and family knew noth­ ing about the affair until the duel was over.

Pueblo, Colo., Oct. 5 . — One person killed outright, one so badly injured that he died soon after the accident, another severely injured, and many slighlty hurt, is the result of a wreck on the Denver & Rio Grande, at Colo- paxi, seven miles west of Pueblo, at 2 o’clock this morning, caused by the breaking of a journal on one of the coaches. The train, the first section narrow-gauge, from over Marshall pass, was slowing down to take the siding at Colopaxi. While running at 10 miles an hour, a journal on the rear trucks of the first day coach broke. The car pitched over on its side and dragged with it all tho cars behind, another coach, two sleepers and the company’s paycar. Three tourist cars, the bag- gage-car and the engine, all ahead of the first coach, remained on the track. The cars were all crowded with ex cursionists bound to the Festival of Mountain and Plain at Denver. There was little excitement and not much wreckage, as the train was running very slowly. Mrs. McIntyre was in a lower berth in the forward sleeper, and was found after the wreck lying dead on the ground near her berth window. She was badly crushed. Mr. Seyler was standing on the plat­ form between the two coaches when the wreck occurred. He was badly crushed. He was conscious and dictat­ ed several telegrams to relatives. Of the injured, Mrs. Robinson alone is seriously hurt, and her death is feared. She is at tho railroad hospital at Salida. The list of those hurt is complete from her case to those who received only a scratch. Immediately after tho accident a re­ lief train was sent out from Salida, and all were promptly given attention. Railroad officials have been overwhelm­ ed with inquiries all day, and have freely given all the information at their: disposal. Wrecking crews were sent from Pueblo, and the track was clear at 5 a. m. C O U N T Y , O REG O N, F R I D A Y , OK NOTHING OCTOHEE nwvgf x N e ith er lOLnitu 8, 1807. El Reno. O.
