possible to verify this report. Clay
ton Is in an isolated section.
The tiny creek near Clayton
where the wreck occurred, is now
a rushing torrent following a cloud
burst. The road bed has been
washed out and a trestle leading to
the little stream has given away.
Tho wreck was reported at Clay
ton by a brakeman and two passen
gers who ran nearly two miles.
Wrecking trains have been sent from
Norton, Colby and Hillsburg.
The scene of the wreck is one of
the wildest disorder, according to
such meager reports as have been
Teceived. It Is impossible to learn
deflnltoly how many were killed.

gold deposits in the bed of Goat

some line specimens of coarse
gold, and the news leaked out
that he had located two claims
Just above the canyon in Goat
river. A rush began at pnee.
Pannlngs have given $15 to
the pan of coarse gold. Traces
of the precious metal have been
found BO to 60 feet in the banks
and in the bed of the river.

Portland, Ore., Sept. 23. Under

clash tomorrow when the state-wide

As a result of wide-spread protest
against the assembly, a number of
direct primary candidates entered-
the field and havo waged a deter
mined battle against tho assembly

While it is generally believed that

Chas. W. Yannke, well known in
Salem, after the urging of many of
his friends, has decided to run for
the ofllco of constable for tho Salem
district. Mr. Yannko was in tho liv
ery business in Salem for seven years,
and Is well acquainted with this city
and surrounding country, and, for
this reason, is probably better quail
fled than almost any other man to fill
this office. Ills capability Is unques
tioned. There is hardly a person In
the city or county that Mr. Yannko
does not know, and who docs not
know him. He knows every road and
cow trail In tho cunty, and has a
wide acquaintance over the state.
Tbero is perhaps no moro popular
man In the county than Charles
Yannko, and tho fact that ho is a can
didate will make many a votor scan

"Ch8B. W. Ynnnk" on it, if it is not
