TRAIN WRECK NEAR INDIANOLA FOURTEEN KILLED WHEN TRAINS MET IN COLLIS ION. McCook, Neb., May 29— Two Burlington trains met head-on two miles west of Indianola at 7:10 this morning and fourteen arc dead and twenty-two are in jured as a result. Physicians say the death list will be increased. Passenger trains Nos. 9 and 12 are carded to meet at Red Wil low. No. 9 was a few minutes late and No. 12, eastbound is a superior train. It is said that orders should have been issued at McCook for No. 9 to meet No. 12 at Red Willow and that they were not issued. No. 12 did not wait, passing Red Willow prac tically on time. Two miles west of Indianola, near a curve and in a fog, the two passenger trains, running perhaps fifty miles an hour, met. Lives snuffed out, pas sengers and employees maimed and a mass of demolished equip ment piled high, resulted. Where the blame lies no one here will say at this time. That will be decided later on. Four engine men, who were in charge of the opposing trains, are dead, and their storv will never be heard. Grand Changes Hands From Tuesday’s Daily.

TO LARGE CROWD Newark, N. .1., May HO.—Theo dore Roosevelt was the principal speaker here today at the unveil ing of a bronze statue by Gu tzeon Horgtlmn of Abraham Lin coln. The statue one of the largest ever east in a single piece ami represents Lincoln sit ting at a long, low bench, half re clining on his right hand in deep thought. Colonel Poopcvelt in his ad dress declared the laws of the land outworn ' '< hoy were excellent laws for the flint lock period,” bo assert ed, “but they do not apply to the present day conditions. The laws must keep up with changed conditions, retaining the spirit of liberty and justice, curbing the greed of the eoncieuceless rich and banishing anarchy.” Touching on peace by arbitra tion, lie expressed his favor for it, but onlyr in case righteousness prevailed. Peace without right eousness would be intolerable, lit' said. “It is our business,” he also declared, “to help the wage earner, and it is our business to put a stop to murderous violence, even if it is indulged in nominal ly to achieve those ends.” Kansasan Kidnaps His Own Wife, Winfield, Kas., May'29. Harry Stitt,, manager of Woolworth’s novelty store, who is alleged to have compelled Mildred Milli gan to marry him last, Saturday night under a threat to kill her and himself, drove up to her fatli cr’s home tonight in an auto, accompanied by two other men, and after a fruitless effort to per suade her to go with him, it is alleged, the three men seized the girl, placed her in the car and drove away. «T. I*. Milligan, father of the girl, armed with a rifle, arrived just as the men took hold of li is daughter to place her in the auto mobile, but Stitt covered him wilt a cocked revolver and threatened to kill them all and himself if Milligan did anything to prevent him from carrying the girl away. It is claimed by the members of the Milligan family that Stitt has the former Miss Milligan hyp uotized. They had not lived to gether since they were married, and it is thought the fear that she was going to commence pro ceedings for a divorce caused him to kidnap hei. When he appeared at the house and asked her to go with him she is said to have replied: “No llarry; we’ve done wrong and now I am going to do what f can to make it right.” Stitt then drew his revolver, it is alleged, cocked it and told the men with him to seize and put her in the ear. When last heard of tlie automobile was traveling at a rapid rate five miles west, evidently headed for Wclmington Milligan, it is asserted, declares he will kill Stitt when he finds him.
