nock Island switch engine No. S3, whllo
standing unattended near tho company's
new roundhouse on South Ninth street yes
terday morning, suddenly started off on Ha
own accord nnd beforo nuy of the hostlers
working near It could Jump aboard pulled
out nt n rapid pace toward tho Union Pa
cific transfer. At tho cast switch, n few
hundred yards from tho transfer depot, It
crashed Into tho rear coach of Wnbash pas
senger train No. 2, which had Just pulled
out nnd had not quite cleared the switch.
The force of tho collision turned tho coach
over on Its side. Jcsjo Hell, a colored por
ter on tho Hock Island castbound pansenger
train, who was standing by tho track wait
ing to turn tho switch for his train, which
was duo to follow the Wabath train out of
tho depot, was crushed to death beneath the
overturned car. Mrs. I.. K. Hostettcr nnd
two children of Omaha, tho only passengers
In the coach overturned, were severely
bruised and partially stunned from the
shock, but were ablo to proceed on their
way to Silver Clly, la.
Tho switch engine was standlug on what
Is known ns tho "cinder track," near tho
roundhouse, whero It had been left by Its
crow after tho night's work nnd was about
to bo taken Into Its stall to be cleaned,
when In somo unnccountahlo manner It
commenced to back down tho track toward
tho depot. None of tho Iiostlcra working
near wcro close enough to Jump on board,
but tho crew of another switch engine
nearby gave chnsc, but was handicapped by
having to wait to opon switches and wns
unable to rr nch tho runaway' cnglno beforo
It crashed Into tho Wabash passenger train.
Denth I'lmla Hint nt l'nst of Duly,
Jesse Dell, the Itock Island porter, had
ridden on tho front platform of tho rear
coach of tho Wabash train ns far as thu
switch, Intending to throw It for his train,
which was to follow Immediately after, the
tracks of tho Omaha & St. Louis nnd tho
Itock Island crossing at this point. Just
ns ho Jumped from thtrcar nnd was stand"
ing by tho track the collision followed nnd
tho car fell on blm, crushing tho Ufa out of
him Instantaneously and his body from tho
head down Into nn almost unrecognizable
mass. Tho side of tho overturned car had
to bo chopped away beforo Hell's body could
bo rcmoted.
Mrs. Ii. E. Hostettcr and her children, tho
only occupants of tho coach that was over
turned, wore promptly rescued and nt flr3t
were thought to be seriously Injured. They,
however, wcro suffering more from the
shock than anything else, although somo
what severely bruised. Dr. Laccy, tho local
physician of tho Omaha & St. Louis Railway
company, was sent for, but beforo- his. ar
rival Mrs. Hostctter;' had recovered suffi
ciently to proceed on her wny In tho train
to Silver City. After a delay of nbout
thirty minutes tho Wnbnsh train continued
on Us way without tho damaged coach.
Tho force of tho collision did not throw
tin runaway switch engine from tho track
and it continued on Its mad race toward tho
transfer depot, whero tho castbound Rock
Island passenger train was standing, ready
to pull out.
Trie to ditch the llunnvrny.
Engineer MeDrldo of tho Rock Island
train saw the wild engine approaching, and,
tolling his llrcman to back ns quickly as
possible, jumped from his englno with tho
purposo of attempting to board tho ap
proaching switch cnglno and if possible
avoid a collision. He was unable, howovor,
to got aboard tho runaway, which bumped
Into tho Rock Island engine, tearing off the
pilot and doing other damage. The force of
tho collision was minimized, however, by
reason . of the Rock Ismud train being
backed, The runaway cnglno wns thon cor
ralled nnd taken back to the roundhouse, it
being but slightly damaged from its two
coiltslcns. The Rock Island englno was too
much damaged to go out and after a delay
of about half an hour, during which a nov
englno waa secured, the passenger train
pulled out for tho cast.
Jesso Hell, tho colored porter, had been In
tho employ of tho Rock Island company for
a number of years. Ills homo Is at Iowa
City, whero his remains will bo taken today
after tho Inquest, which will be held by
Coroner Troynor this morning at 8:30
o'clock nt Lunkley's undertaking rooms.

was not leaking and that the throttlo bad

Albert 13. Clinne TelU About Milling:
Property of Olllcer Jc l'uaey.
An Interesting featuro in yeBterdny'a
hearing beforo Judge, Thorncll of tho Olll

as ovldcnco of tho report of Albert 13. Chase,
mining engineer and United States deputy
mineral surveyor, tho export selected under
order of court to uiako an investigation nt
tho mining property which formed tho bulk
of tho estate of tho late Thomas Olllcer.
This report has beun eagerly looked for by
tho many creditors of the bank, as upon
tho futuro output of thceo mines depends so
much their chances cf recovering tho money
which tl.oy deposited with the firm. The
report says:
Tho mines are situated In Hattlo Moun
tain mining district. Engln county. Colo,
rndo. Tho property consists of Longfellow',

which patent applications have not yut beon
made. Much or tho greater unrl nf thn
ground Is embraced within tho claims for

twenty-two acres.
llxpcrtn Vary ns to Value,
Tho report contains it comnloto geocrnnhl.
cut formation of tho district nnd says thero
u ru oxtonsivo developments und ore la round
In "workable" nuantltles In tho limn nml
porphyry contact and nlso In tho riuurtzlto.
As to tho character of the ore deposits In
xna disirici inero seem to no two opinions
many of those who have been in tho
section for a long time, and aro familiar
with tho mine regard them ns true fissures,
but others equally as well Informed deny
this, whllo the examination was too limited
nnd supcrllclal to enable u posltlvu assur
ance; thn expert Is Inclined tn tho latter
opinion. That thero are Assure veins lu the.
district seems to ue well established, but
nt Itinlr HXtent llttls Is known, nn th.tv
have only been slightly worked. Of tho
probalito value or mo oro no report is made,
Tho oro occurs In channels moro or less lr
rtKUlar nnd annears to have a srood de
gree of continuity. The dip of the ore
channels follows the strata of tho rock.
The channel widens out frequently aud
forms vnlunblc pockets. Som of llio oro
bodies In the Percy Cheslir are largo
size nnd oro of high grude nnd In good
quantities was extracted. In this property
ono muln channel has been developed and
the ore exhausted to n depth of about TOO
feet. To this point the oro was moro or
less oxydlzed nnd of n high grade. Here a
largo body of pun? sulphide ore was en
countered nnd has been developed to quite
nn extent. As to tho value- of tho oro "In
sight" It ran be nt best but nn approxima
tion, ns If Is Impossible to measure und
assay only what Is actually developed: but
n reasonable approximation may be reached
upon me assumption that the ore poav will
continue some distance of tho average nlm
as tno oro developed anu that tno values
will remain ttnlfnrm. Judging from the
size of the ore' bodies nlrcady encountered
and worked It Is reasonable to suntwiRK that
an average thickness of three feet will be
maintained, it, is sale to assume Hint seven
''tlblc, feet nf solid sulphide oro will make n
ton. On this basis there -will be nlKiut l.fW)
tons of ore boilv "In alirht." An to the
value of this ore there seems to be u Inck of
uniformity. Four drifts of considerable
length are driven into tho ore. Oro taken
from many points along thn sides nnd
breasts of these workings und tests made
show the following results: Drift No. 1
Oold, 0.61 ounce; silver, 0.1 ounce; value,
MG.G4. Drift No. U-Onld. 0.24 ounce: silver.
2.6 ounce; value, f6.?f. Drift No. 3-Oold,

Drift No. 4-Onld, .08 ounce; silver, 1.1

North of drift No. 4 n sample returned
.23 ounce gold, 10.7 ounces silver, having nn
assayed value of $12.02. Ono ilssure occurs
In thq Mabel. A shaft has been sunk to the
depth of eighty feet and ns far us developed
this mine nits ull the characteristics of n
true Ilssure. It is -well defined and In por
tions of the workings both walls are plainly
Seen. In other parts the vein Is wider than
the working una u portion of It Is left hang
ing on the walls. At the present time ore
Is scattered In th bottom of thn shaft and
the brenst of the drift. In tho latter jilaco
tho oro reems to bo getting larger nnd more
solid. Hlnglc samples taken from the shaft
nssayed .20 ounce gold and 11.2 ounces sil
ver, with ii vnluo of $11.1(2. Ore taken from
thn breast of the drift returned .OC ounce
gold and 2.5 ounces silver, having n vnlue
of $12.70. A pocket producing two carloads
has been worked, which guvu better returns
than the assay. One shows 1.91 ounces gold
nnd another 2.05 ounces of tho same. Doth
returned some silver vnlue,
Option Held In Cnlorndo.
During tho hearing It developed that tit i
receivers had given a person In Colorado
an optlou on tho Walter Scott mine for $75,
000 nyd that this option had not yet ex
pired: This nsset of the bank has been
listed by tho receivers at $25,033.

mer was also examined as to tho bank's
condition. Ho submitted n statement tukeu
from tho bank's bookB, which he, aald
showed that tho firm was solvent in No
vember, 18SI, this being In contradiction of
tho evidence of Expert Accountant Walters.
Ily Mr. Ofllcer's figures the bank had assets
to the amount nf $37,C16.10 In excess of Its
liabilities. It also showed that at this date,
tho deposits amounted to $245,000, while tho
netunl cash In tho bank aggregated $31,

person respecting tho collection of taxes or
to apptoprlato. funds to bo used In employ
ing persons to discover and bring tn light
property to ho placed on tho assessment
roll with n view to collect same. Ho also
alleges that tho contract entered Into by
tho board to pay Cunningham a sum equal
to 50 per cent of all monej's recovered
through his efforts Is contrary to public
policy, aud, further, that tho contract In
question has bcon annulled by section 5,
chapter 1, Acts of tho Twenty-eighth As
sembly, inasmuch that Cunningham failed
to filo within thirty days after tho passage
of tho act his written acceptance of 15 per
cent as remuneration for hie services. It Is
ou this latter point that. Shlnn now expects
