Rail Wreck
Express Clerk Risks Life to
Salvage $100,QQ0 Worth
packages From Burning
Car.
By J. T. ARMSTRONG.
Stuff Corropondent of. The Vt:
Stanton, la., Nov. 2. A crowd of
ihinly-clad iiien and women stood
lazed and shivering in the cold gray
dawn at Stanton yesterday surviving
t!ie wreck of two proud passenger
trains from which tlvy had just
:mcnrcd
As they watched a streak ot flame
iiot tip trom one of the derailed
cars, followed by a cloud of itnoke.
The crowd shiidde-cd ' and n.cved
back.
(Then, hefore their, bewildered eyes,
a form appeared, apparently tiom
beneath . the debris. It staggeied to
an upright position, then, instead of
retreating from i the- advancing
fames, it plunged toward a blazing
car.
Saves Every Package.
The crowd gasped and stood help
lessly. The man entered . tht car,
l'ow a seething furnace of smoke and
flames, and began throwing pack
ages through the door. 1 The
scantily-robed people forgot to shiver
as they watched him, outlined in the
lurid light, staggering o and from
the door, laden with express pack
ages. '
Would he never leave the car?
At last, scorched and burned and
-scarcely able to stand he staggered
forth with a single box under his
arm There was a weak cheer and
the crowd surged forward
Faints With Last Box.
"It's the last package," he-gasped,
and fainted." ,-
"What is it," asked Some one in ni
strained voice. Several began in
specting the box. On its top 'was
marked:
Two skunks to A. C. Lauener,
Uenvcr, Colo. From the Skunk De
velopment Department."
Within lay two woolly little
?nimals, sound asleep.
There was a laugh, somewhat
hysterical, but the dramatic situation
was relieved. , . m
The railway express messenger
who saved his parcels was W. M.
Banta of Chicago. He had been re
ported dead by railroad men, and
later declared had he not been asleep
when the wreck-occurred he would
have been killed. -" "
The report of Jus death brought
several American Railway express of
ficials .hurrying from Omaha and
Lincoln,, among them St B. Culberf
son, superintendent at Lincoln. The
same report would have, reached
Banta's young wife of six months,
had ie not himself intercepted the
message of his dtfath speeding to
ward her. ""' ' '" ''
. $100,000 Is Saved.
Superintendent' Culbertson esti
mated Inst night ..Banta's "heroism
and devotion" to duty had resulted
in saving $100,000 worth of goods.
His bravery will at least receive
favorable comment, said Culbert
son. .
Wives of Engineer Charles CpnU
lin and Fireman Elmer C. Anderson,
both of Creston, killed in the week,
arrived in Stanton yesterday atter
nooij to accompany the bodies of
their husbands home for burial.
They were grlcf-strkKen and sur
veyed the wreckage in which their
husbands met death in horror.
The family of , Engineer Cnarles
A. Kindall of Lincoln, Neb., is ex
pected to arrive in 'Stanton today.
Hobo is Unidentified.
The hobo, who was killed while
riding the blinds, on the westDoun
limited, has not neen identified. He
was youthful and welt dressed, but
carried nothing that served to iden
tify him. He will be buried in Stan
ton, probably. .
As a result of the wreck, in which
an eastbound passenger train
crashed into an eastbound freight,
which i:i turn was struck by a west
hound passenger train both freight
and passenger traffic were much de
layed on the Creston division of the
Burlington system. Railroad officials
are still investigating the cause of
.he accident, but had ismcd no state-,
ment fixing the M.mc at mic'ntght
last night. An inquest will bp held
iy Coroner Walter bellegren here
Thursday.

Nevv York," Nov. 2. Waerhei run
ning the entire'1 prognasticator's
f.amut from "fair and warm" m the
old south to. "rain or snow" in the
Great Lakes region, jl'clear skies'' in
the west and "unsettled condit ons"
on the Atlantic seaboard, greeted
the nation's voters today as they
lined up at polling places, to choose
their next president.
Before noon scattered reports
from the four corners of the. cquntry
indicated that men and women alike
were defying! the '. elttheiils-where
these threatened, and going early
to discharge tlwir ncient preioga
tive, in the case of the men voters,
and their new privilege, in that of
the newly enfranchised women.
Nominees Vote Early.
The central figures in the contest
voted early with their wives. Sena
tor Harding, republican -nominee for
president, motored to the golf links
after casting his ballot at Marion.
Governor Cox of Ohio, the demo
cratic choice, voted at Dayton and
then went to his farm. Governor
Coolidge of Massachusetts awaited
returns in Boston after voting in
Northampton, and Franklin D.
Roosevelt withdrew to his country
home at Hyde Park,- overlooking the
Hudson, after voting with a nuhioer;
of his relatives.
Before the dawn of another day
has broken, the country in all like
lihood will know whether Warren
G. Harding, republican, or James M.
Cox, democrat, has been elected to
succeed Woodrow Wilson, for it is
generally agreed that, barring a mir
acle, none of the other five can
didates has a chance. This choice,
it is estimated, will be registered by
a record vote of between 20,000,000
and 30,000,000. .'
Fight For Congress.
Second only in interest to the con
test fqr the presidency is the fight
between the two major parties for
the control of the next Congress.
Thirty-four United States senators,
32 to fill seats now held by 17 demo
crats and 15 republicans and two
to fill the unexpired terms caused
by the deaths of Senators Bankhead,
Alabama, and Martin, Virginia, both
democrats, are being chosen, as well
ai an entire new house of represen
tatives, composed, of 435 members.
The present senate is composed ot
47 democrats, 48 republicans and one
republican and . progressive. The
present house - consists -of 190
democrats, 232 republicans, two in
dependent republicans, one indepen
dent and one prohibitionist, lhcre
are also nine vacancies; . '
Will H. Hays and George White,
republican and.- democratic. "national'
chairmen, respectively, each contin
ued confident of victory when the
polls . opened. Mr. Hays reiterated
his prediction that the republican;
ticket was "certain to obtain 368
electoral votes" and that there -was
a strong possibility that the total
might reach the 400 mark. A total.
of 266 is necessary to elect. Mr.
White gave out no last minute pre
diction on the electoral vote, but re
newed his expression of confidence
in the election of Governor Cox.
Each chairman also predicted con
trol of;: the next congress by his
party.
Unsettled weather, with the possi
bility of rain, faced the early voters
of the eastern states as they trudged
to the polls to cast their ballots,
while those of the' upper-Mississippi
valley and northern New , Eftg'and
and New York prepared for the
weather man s prediction ot snow.
The rest of the count.y generally, is
expected to vote under clear skies.
