Show DAILY UTAH STATE JOURNAL VOLUME Vm. NUMBER TEN KILLED IN I TRAIN WRECK Saint Frightful Accident to the Loots and San Francisco Flyer. EVERY CAR WAS DERAILED List of Dead Includes Four Trainmen and Six Passengers Three Fatally Injured. FORT SCOTT. Arlt.Dec. 21. The St Louis and San Francisco meteor train waa ditched by spreading rails near Godfrey. Kansas, at 6:80 o'clock this morning. The train consisted of seven coaches, Including two sleepers. One report of the accident numbers the dead at six and another at nine. It la also reported that nearly every passenger on board the train was Injured. A relief train with surgeons and nurses on board has been sent to the scene from this city. A later report giving further details of the wreck says that the cars left the track at a switch which had either spread or been misplaced. The train waa running at full speed at the time and every car of the train left the track. The engine waa completely demolished. The baggage car turned over several times and finally brought up a distance of 100 feet from the track. The mall car was splintered to kindling and the smoking car was telescoped by the top of the engine. The chair car, every seat of which was filled, slid two hundred feet after leaving the rails. The engineer and conductor were instantly killed. Nine dead were taken from the wreck before the relief train arrived. The fireman was pinned beneath the trucks of the smoker and he was taken out after a trench had been wood 40. meeting of the I'tu-fflcoast lumbermen held here fur the purpose of readopting the agreement formed to maintain the prices and limit the output of lumber, which has been In eiYect for the past two years between the lumber manufacturers of California, Oregon and Washington, the export lumber trade of the Pacific coast threatens to become demoralized. The portion of the agreement over which the contention exists Is the one which prorates the output of each mill according to its capacity, and provides arbitrarily that any mill which exceeds this fixed output shall forfeit the proceeds of the excess. It is stated that the California mill men desire a modification of this part of the agreement so as to premlt any mill to produce more than Us quota in a district where the demand exceeds the supply, without suffering the penalty. The northwestern mill men, on the other hand, wish the old agreement to remain unchanged. As the present agreement terminates on teh last day of the present month, unless some decision Is arrived at by the contending factions the mills of Oregon and Washington will find themselves confronted with a drop in the price of export lumber of about $4 per The list of dead Is as follows: Conductor George Hoyt, Engineer Theodore Charles Dewese, Fireman BI shard; passengers, J.

Fatally Injured Sheridan Noble, Cooperton, Okla.; John Brubaker, Kansas City; Mall Clerk Adamson. Sixty passengers were injured, four seriously. The latest theory Is that the switch which caused the derailment was broken. The train was running at the rate of fifty miles an hour when It left the tracks. Shortly before the wreck a freight train was on the sidetrack where the accident occurred. A flagman who was sent back has not been seen since. The engineer of the wrecked train was found In the debris of the engine with one hand tightly clenched on the air brake. The fire which followed the ditching of the train was extinguished by the E Are Trying to Reach a Settlement London With the Striking Drivers.

Everything seems to be going along smoothly at the shops In Ogden and no evidence of dissatisfaction can be found. A representative of the State Journal called on Master Mechanic EL M. Luckett this morning and naked him about the altuatlon. Mr. Luckett said he had read nothing about It and so far as he knew there was nothing In It but newspaper talk. T. C. Pancake, financial sccrteary of the machinists union, was then seen and said there was no truth In the report He said there were no grievances and that everything was going along satisfactorily and that he had not heard of any contemplated strike or other trouble.
