SCENES OF HORROR!
Dead Plied Up Amid Burning Cars
In Train Wreck.
TRAINS COLLIDE IN BIG SWAMP
Injured Ones Lie With Dozen Corpses
Along the Truck Heroic
Work by Women.
Now Orleans, Nov. 12. Woven per
sons arc known to be dead and a score
or more nro Injured as a result of a
wreck yesterday morning on the Now
Orleans & Northeastern railroad at Lit
tlo Woods. 12 miles from New Orleans.
Itctwecti Slldell and New Orleans tho
tracks of tho New Orleans tc North
oastern are used bv the Great Northern
and it was a suburban train of this road
from Covington that crashed into tho
rear of a local Northeastern train from
Ilatticsburg, Miss., telescoping the four
roar conches.
Little Woods is so surrounded by
swamp that the only access to tho scene
is by way of the railroad. When the
rescue partr reached Little Woods tho
scene was one of terror, desolation and
death. The wreck had caught fire and
tho first efforts of tho loungers around
the camps went toward subduing tho
flames. In this they had been partially
successful, but little succor had been
given to the badly injured and several
of theso died while lying around tho
mouldering debris. Iiude bandage had
been bound about their wounds in an
effort to stop tho now of blood and !n
many instances the later investigation
of tho surgeon discovered that more
than ono life had been saved in this
manner. None worked harder than the
women passengers in this crude surgery,
MAY BE ANDRE.
Skipper Finds Remains Under Cross
Bearing Explorer's Name.
Copenhagen, Nov. 12 There is rea
son to believe that the body of Pro
fessor 8. S. Andre, the Arctic crplorcr,
who, in 1905, mado an attempt to rosea
the north polo in a balloon, has been
found on the coast of Labrador.
A letter received from the captain of
tho Danish steamer Inga, dated Labra
dor, September 30, reports that Captain
Chatker, skipper of the American
schooner Pelops, of Conception Hay, N.
P., discovered in northern Labrador a
cross bearing the name "Andre," and
that beneath this cross bo found a body
and a box of documents.
Io dug under the cross and found
human remains and n box containing
papers. Captain Chatker said that he
removed the cross, but he refused to
ay whether or not tne papers were in
his possession. Tho Inga's captain
asked how the name "Andre" was
spelled. On being told, be took a piece
of paper from his pocket, on which was
written the name as it appeared on the
cross. It was "Andree."
The place where the cros was dis
covered is an absolute desert and is
rarely visited, even by the Ksklmos.
What became of Andre's two compan
ions, if tho discovered remains prove to
be bis, is a problem, but the light prob
ably will bo thrown upon their fate by
an examination of the papers.

WAR AGAIN POSSIBLE.
All
Depends on Note to the Powers
From Austria,
St. Petersburg, Nov. 13. Although
an air of outward calm is maintained
at tho Itussian foreign office, tho
lialkan situation has now roochod an
aeuto stage, where everything depends
upon the nature of tho note which is
expected from VIonna today and tho
outeome or tho mediation which Kus
sla, Prance and Great Ilritain have un
dertaken at Holgrado, at Auatro-Hun-gary's
request, with a view to limiting
tho belligerent activity of Servla.
If mediation is not successful, war is
recognized as a possibility in author!
tatlvo circles. The Austro Hungarian-
Servian relations nro too strained, It Is
believed, to permit present conditions
to eontlnua imlotlnltoly,
... ... .. i
Tho Austrian noto will definitely out

Wool Growers Will Utro Legislature
to Increase Coyote Bounty.
Pendleton. -ILvtvy pressure will bo
brought to botir on tho leginlntttro when
it convenes this winter by tho sheep
men of oastorii Oregon and tho Wilhtitt
otte vnlloy to seetiro a iHiunty of from
l to I. fill per eovoto. The pest Is nl
ready ravaging ffoeks in tho western
part of the state and Its depredations
will exceed those of tiny former years
on neeount of lis increasing numbers.
It Is estimated Unit tho coyotes tlur
tug the it year have dono over t,
O00.1HM lntnnge to tho flocks of the
slato, nud the sheepmen belieo that
the only way to exterminate tho pest
is to provide a bounty to make their
killing .worth while.
In. order to get tho matter before tho
legislnturo the Oregon sheep eomuiis
sion in its Htimml roort will embrace
it recommendation of it bounty of fl..l)
to be paid for each animal killed. It
will point to tho success with which
that plan combattod the evil mime years
ago. The sheepmen of the stnto will
also urge through their organisation
that such a bounty be given.
One hit f of the sum tid, according
to the plan now under advisement, will
tie p.ilil liy the sheepmen through a
special tax levied umn them for that
purpose. This is in lino with the old
law.
I'ntil nlnnit six vears ago Oregon tnld
a bounty of 2 per coyote. I'mler that
system, according to Secretary Pan P.
Smytho of the Oregon sheep eommis
sion, the coyotes were practically exter
initiated, and just at the tune the buun
ty bad cea.sl to be nn expense of any
imtMirtnnce the law was repealed. As
the result the animnhi have increased
until they are a plague greater than
ever before in the state.
For the first time in many vears the
valley woolgrowers are with the men of
eastern Oregon in this matter.
The need of the coyote lwuniy law
will be dtcuvd in this eity Saturday
at the meeting of the Countv Wool
growers' association, and will also come
up next week at the Heppiwr meeting
tt is also prubabta that at the latter
place the sheepmen will ndotit the plan
of organised fight against the I t
during the month of January, as during
the past year when some IIi.immi coyotes
are estimated to nave leen killed In
the one month.
