night'. The fast train was derailed and

They were literally roasted to death,
as the baggage car and smoker tele
scoped the engine and immediately
caught on fire. There was no way ol
extinguishing the flames and the poor
unfortunates were cremated before the
rest of the horrified passengers.
It is thought that at least twenty of
the fifty injured persons will die.

The train consisted of twp baggage

Saft Lake, tiec. 24—Indications point
to success crowning the efforts of Mrs.
Anna Bradley to convict exrUaited
States Senator Arthur Browp and take
him to state's prison with her. Judge
Morse has decided .that his court had
jurisdiction over Brown's case in which
the senator is charged1 with*'fcrimificA
relations with Mrs. Bradley., This
^temporarily ended Brown's stubborn
"fight to prevent the case coming to
trial. He was given until Jan. n to
file a bill of exceptions.
Meanwhile Mrs. Bradley Ms. an
nounced that she will testify against
Brown, and in order to make the case
stronger, has pleaded guilty to a simi
lar charge and is now awaiting sen
tence.
Under the Utah statute^,, which were
drawn during polygamy days, the maxi
mum punishment for criminal relations
is three years' confinement in state's
prison. As Mrs. Bradley has confessed,
•and will repeat her confession if Brown
is forced to trial, the importance of the
decision is readily seen.
