J. N. Wilkins recent ly sent word to City Marshal Cronin that he had seen Pfanner in the J-ay City, and steps were taken to secure his apprehension. It now appears that this person - is none other than a double of Pfanner. John Boeker, a basket maker of Greenville, a village near here, who was acquainted with Pfanner, and who is now in San Francisco, says thcre""is a man now living in Han Francisco who looks so much like the absconding bank er that it would bi iniHssible for a person knowing each of them fo tell one from the other. The report s-nt here that Pfanner nad been sen is dis credited by those who know the circum stances, and it is believed that a re markable resemblance is responsible fur the mistake. However, an investigation is now being carried on to determine Ieyond dispute the identity of the man who answers the description of Pfan ner.

Woolen Mill 3tore TWELVE LIVES ARE SACRIFICED FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT UPON NEW YORK ELEVATED ROAD. SWITCH SIGNALS SET WR0N0. Ninth Avenue Car, Loaded With Ha inan Freight, Plunges into the Street. , Horrible Sight Is Viewed by People Passing Along Street Motorman Is Fugitive, but Conductor, Switchman and Guard Arrested. "NKW YOICK, Sept. 11. The death list of today's accident on the Ninth avenue elevated railroad, when a car crowded with early morning workers on their way down town, pitched head long into the street, fetands at twelve. Three men are in the hospitals with fractured skulls, one of these yet "un identified at the Koosevelt hospital is unconscious and not exjected to live. . More than two score of persons were injured, many seriously. The cause of the accident and immediate responsibil ity are not yet known. The motorman of the: wrecked train is a fugitive, while the switchman, conductor and four, guards are under arrest. What ever may have caused the mistake, the accident, the" worst in the history of overhead railroads in New York, came when a southbound train on the Ninth avenue line switched to the Sixth ave nue line at Fifty-third street junction. The motorman, exjweting a 'clear track on the direct line of Ninth avenue, without regarding the warning signal that the switch was open, rushed the train along at a high rate of seed. The first car swung around the right angle curve, holding to the rails becaoso of the weight of the train behind. Then the couplings broke and the second far was whirled about almost end for end and pitched into the street. The first indicatoin the people on the sidewalk had of the wreck was a loud rumbling along the overhead structure. Looking up they saw a shower of sparks. Then followed splinters and the sound of splitting timbers. Suddenly the outer guard raij of the railroad structure gave way, a score of bodies were hurled through space and. with a deafening crash the car fell to the street. For an instant it stood fairly on end, then the sides gave way, belch ing nut a mass of humanity.! The passengers who had not jumped from the platforms and windows before the plunge came, were thrown into a mass at the forward end" of the car and as the injured men and -sVmcn were strugling fo free themselves the heavy front trucks of the third car on the train fell across their midst as the car itself jumped partly off the elevated structure. Almost every ambulance in Manhattan was summoned and the In jure. 1 and dead were hurried away with all speed." F.ight persons were dead when they were taken out of the wrck and four did in the hospitals. Before the great crowds collected by the news of the wreck could lw cleared away .the police were compelled to use their heavy night sticks on ft number of men who were attempting to snatch jewelry- ami other valuable from the victims. The 'officers had notime to make arrests, contenting themselves in drubbing the miscreants as heavily as they could. Conductor Johnson in a statement said: "The signals were set wrong. That was the trouble. They were green and yellow which is for the Sixth avenue train." AVERAGE RAN HIGH. Five Principal Wheat Producing States Give Large Yield of Spring Wheat. WASHINGTON, Sept. It.
