' .The train, eastbound, was running
twenty minutes behind schedule, but
slowly. The telegraph wires were
destroyed by the wreck and other
wires were crippled by the, t)ld
weather and if was nearly an hour
before relief could.be caljed.
Two wrecking trains were sum
moned. , une came trom Ottumwa.
but it was not sufficiently powerful to
lift the huge steel cars. Uninjured
, passengers, the Creston fire depart-
inent, summoned from six miles
away, and volunteers from Cromwell
aided the wrecking crew, which by
the use of block and tackle in con
junction with the wrecker succeeded
, in liberating a few of those pinioned
beneath the wreckage. Women, shiv
ering in the cold, aided in the work
of fescue.
: Cripplea Liberated.' ','
When a wrecker arrived from Bur-'
lington, la., the injured, whose cries
' were audible for seycral blocks, were
goon liberated.
One of the steel cars stood on end
in the ditch. Another had over
turned several times in its descent of
the embankment and rested in a bed
of crushed ice in the ditch.
The-majority of the injured were
cut by glass. . A number of them were
thrown through - the windows and
. clear of the falling ears.
A few of the passengers continued
their journey on a later train. Eleven
of the seriously hurt are now in Cres
ton suffering; from internal , injuries
" and it was.; not yet known if they
would live.. . . , ' v
Six physicians treated all of the In
jured, rendering first-aid to many at
the wreck and bandaging others . in.
the hospitals, and the. hotel , lobbies.
J. F. Slinghpff conductor .. of , the
train, was one of the bldes.t employes,
on the Burlington,; in point', of serv
. - ict, having been with the' road-close
to forty yeast. His home is in Lin
coln. While his injuries, which con
sist of cuts and bruises on his back,
shoulders and neck, will Jay him up
tome time, they are r.ot expected to
, prove fatal. v
George H. Cutler, one of the in
jured and who sustained some severe
bruises about the head and shoulders,
resides in Tacoma, Wash.' He is a
colonization agent connected with the
Vmon Pacific system; working di
rectly with the Oregon Railway and
Navigation company. He had been
ill iiuoiie m wupit if, ua,,-. ..,.
with Union Pacific officials and was
enroute to Chicago. He had intended

Wayfarers Prove They '
Bought Their Checks
Robert Hilderbrant and Larry Mor
gan, 1922 Harney street, arrested Jan
uary 28 and booked for investigation,
have been discharged. Hilderbrant
and Morgan had in their possession
more than $100 in travelers' cheques,
which police officers believe were
stolen because of the manner in which
they were filled out. Information
from Denver, however, corroborated
Hildcrbrant's statements that he pur
chased the cheques there.
Central Labor Union
Endorses Boxing Bill
'. Cent Melady'a bill, now ,pending
in the legislature, foi clean 'sport in
Nebraska was unanimously endorsed
by the Central Labor union last evening.
Application of three delegates
elected by a new moving picture oper
ators' union to the Central Labor
union was temporarily refused until
the status of the new union can be
determined. The new union is'
called an electricians' union, but it
was stated the members are to be
operators of moving picture machines
only. '
First steps were taken lobking to
ward free admission to the various
unions for members of bartenders'
and brewery workers' unions who
will be thrown out of work May 1.
Many of these, it was stated, have
other trades to which they will want
to return and the unions ot which
they will want to join. Initiation fees
in most cases are $50.
Wilson's Action
Balks Ed Smith,
- Embargo Buster
Somewhere in the neighborhood of
Boston, or perhaps actually within
the-city limits of Boston, was Ed P.
Smith of Omaha on a mission that
has probably been rendered-entirely
fruitless by the severance of diplo
matic relations with Germany.
' Mr. Smith left Omaha for Boston
Thursday evening, representing the
Omaha Grain exchange and hoping
to influence eastern steamboat lines
to accept cargoes of grain from Oma
ha for shipment abroad. Smith had
planned to do a little embargo-busting
Of his own. (
It is likely' that about the time he
stepped off the train at the Boston
passenger station a Boston newsboy
pushed an extra in his facje bearing
the words, "Diplomatic relation's with
Germany severed."
Of course, whethe the newsboy did
this or not, no one in Omaha yet
knows, but Grain exchange men be
lieve Smith must have arrived in Bos
ton just about in time to buy the
first extras that came out on the new
crisis in the international situation,
which will necessarily make thi em
bargo on exports still more rigid for
a time at least. . - . -
"So I suppose Ed will turn around
and take the next train back," said
a grain man. "Oh, Ed may get his
lunch first, maybe, and probably walk
up Bunker Hill and back before train
time, but I bet he will be riding a
Pullman for the Nebraska metropolis
again by night." , .'

FIFTEEN YEARS OLD,
MILDRED MARRIES
Her , Father, Frank Busche,
Says He Will Prosecute
Her Husband. '""
HOW MUSIC WON A WIFE
' Casting frightened glances back
ward at her father and at the .same
time dinging tightly to the arm of
her crippled husband, Mildred Busche,
15 years old, whose disappearance
from her home at 957 North Twenty
fifth street, was reported to the police
Thursday, marched into the police
building. Her dad, Frank Busche,
who has Tiuntcd high and low, east
and west, for his runaway daughter
scowled as he walked behind her and
Floyd Wathen, her spouse, and de
livered them both into hands of the
police, i
"I am going to prosecute him to
the limit of the law," said Mr. Busche
vehemently, pointing to Wathen. "He
married my little girl in Seward two
days ago and she is only 15 years of
age."
Wathen, a cripple, is a talented
pianist and a good singer. Busche
says that he sirig and -played his way
into his girl's heart and thus won her
consent to an elopement.
Busche was his own detective in
trailing the young couple. He found
that Wathen had relatives in Chicago
and Seward. He wired Chicago po-.
lice to witch for him there and he
himself went to Seward. There he
found them, but, not until the musician
and his girl had been mademan and
wife. Busche ordered them to pack
their 4uds and move back to Omaha
They obeyed with alacrity and Busche
chaperoned the party all the way.
