of wrecking the Rock Island passenger train
and causing the death of eleven persons , the
trial of the first of the personal damage suits
agalnyt the company has been set for hear
ing In the district court December 10. The

trator of the estate of J , It. Matthews , one
of the victims of the wreck. Preclpes for
summons for witnesses are being filed with
the clerk of the court. One of the witnesses
who will bo called Is Saxton , who In the

Some sentatlonal developments nnent the

secured to show that at least two of the
jurors had falsified when they swore that
they had expressed no opinion as to the guilt
or Innocence of the defendant. It Is also

Following some peculiar negotiations , which
excited the su'splcloiiB of Farmer May , the
Kansas City nssayer reported that he had
found neither gold nor silver In the ore ,
