! NINETEEN DEAD IN A WRECK.
Twentieth Century Flyer, World’s
Swiftest Long Dist ance Train
Nearly Demolished at
Mentor.
1 Cleveland. June 22—Nineteen
dead ai,< * a dozen slightly injured
c “ u 'P r * 8e the revised casualty list
made by the wrecking last night
at Mentor, Ohio, of the eastbjund
Twentieth Century Limited and
Luke Shore and New York Cen¬
tral’s lfl hour train, which ran m
to an open switch, crushed the
Mentor depot and partly burned it
( Up, scorching several of the man¬
gled corpses. The surviving in¬
jured are not much hurt.
It is maintained by railroad of¬
ficials that the switch on which
the Limited was wrecked was
thrown open and locked and the
switch light extinguished by some
person, either a maniac or some
one seeking revenge. It is still
unknown who this person is, al¬
though detectives are working on
the case. A careful examination
of the switch today showed that it
was in perfect condition. Train¬
men are of the opinion that the
engineer of the Twentieth Century
was deceived by the light of a
switch just beyond the open switch,
the light of which is said to have
been out.
W. H. Marshal, general mana¬
ger of the Lake Shore, sa>s the
speed of the train was not a con¬
tributory cause of the wreck. He
said that other Lake Shore trains
travel through Mentor at a speed
equal to that attamed by the limi¬
ted last night, which was not, Mr,
Marshall said, above sixty miles
an hour.
The scenes following the wreck
were appalling, The night was
dark save for the light from the
blazing wreck of the coach that
was crushed and splintered on top
of the engine. Men swarmed about
it combatting the flames with the
means at hand, groping their way
through the building, scalding
steam that rose in clouds, hunting
for the injured, whose piteous
moans were such as chilled the
hearts of those who heard them.
The water supply was small and
the means at hand for lighting the
flames were pitifully inadequate,
but the zeal of the rescuers wrought
great things for the first few min
ut#s.
Pullman Conductor J. J. O’Neill
with his force of porters, did val¬
iant work in helping care for the
injured as they were taken front
the wreck. Bedding, blankets and
sheets were stripped from the bunks
of the four Pullman coaches and
used for the relief of the sufferers.
Conductor Alexander Hammond
who escaped, started the work of
rescue and led his trainmen and
the less seriously hurt of the pas¬
sengers in deeds that were truly
heroic.
The train was making nearly
seventy miles an hour when the
accident occurred, according to
Fireman Aaron Gorham, of Nor¬
walk, who, badly bruised, but
otherwise uninjured, miraculously
escaped death.
*« We were speeding like the
wind,” said Gorham, "when the
engine left the track. It occurred
so quickly that I little knew what
happened until we crashed into the
Mentor freight house, I neither
heard nor saw the engineer after
that. The engine everturned and
somehow the tank managed to fail
upon me, but not heavily, and I
was sheltered by it. I lost con¬
sciousness from the terrible blow
which I had received upon the
head and I knew nothing until J
was dragged from underneath the
wrecked engine.”
Conductor Alexandei Hammond
of the Limited, said :
“1 rushed back to the switch
immediately after the wreck. It
was open. I tried it and found
that it worked all right. The
switch light was out. Not a wheel
rolled over the switch since No. 10,
the eastbonnd Chicago and Boston
train, went through 45 minutes
| before. »r

Do you want to live where the climate is mild the. year round—
where labor is never oppressed by stress of weather, and where
animal vitality is never lost by mere conflict with cold?
Do you want to live in a region where the resources are more
varied than in any other equal area in the world, where the division
of great ranches affords a fine opportunity to get a small farm that
will assure you a competence?
Do you want to live where, with a minimum of labor, you can
grow profitable crops of grapes and small fruit, oranges, lemons,
olives, prunes and almonds, alfalfa and grain, where crops are sure,
business is good and capital easily finds profitable investment ?
Then go to California, where both health and opportunity await
your coming.
The Chicago, Union Pacific and
.
North-Western Line ! 1
is the most direct route to the Pacific Coast, and there are two
fast through trains daily via this line, over the famous double
track railway between Chicago and the Missouri River,
throughout Special low round-trip rates are in effect via this line I
the summer to various Pacific Coast points, and
colonist low rate one-way tickets will be on sale during Sep¬
tember and October, which give an unusual chance for settlers
to make the trip at a minimum of expense.

Daily and personally conducted excursions operated through to San I

after investigating the cause of the
wreck,’ made this statement today:

switch with maliciou intent. The
train did not jump the track.”

Tips on Letter Writing.
Sherwin Cody, in bis “Training
Course and Correct English, Busi¬
ness Correspondence and Adver¬
tisement Writing,” lays down
some rules as to the length of bus¬
iness letters. He says:
“Write a long letter to
I < A farmer.
“A woman.
4 t A customer who has asked you
a question.
“A customer who is angry and
needs quieting down, and will be
made or.ly more angry if you seem
to slight him.
“A man who is interested, but
must be convinced before he will
buy your goods.
“Write a short letter to
“A busy business man.
‘‘An indifferent man on whom
you want to make a sharp impres¬
sion.
“A person who has written you
about a trival matter for which he
cares little.
4 < A man who wants only a rec¬
ord of a piece of information.
t • A persou who needs only the
slightest reminder of something ho
has forgotten or overlooked.”
