first class and It Is believed that
there are five bodies In the dining
car. Of the Injured four died today

trophles In the history of Canadian
railroads. The wrecked train was
enroute from Montreal to Siult Ste.

probably was due to a broken rail.
The engine, baggage, express and

Opinion From Eminent Engineer
**Review of Week in the District
The week was more notable than its predecsesor, in ways
good, bad and indifferent. A fine jumble of varying elements
entered into the local situation, making for an interesting pe
riod. Improved weather at the latter end helped at Copper
Flat and at McGill. At both places results per day of operation
were increased. The Chainman leasers have practically got
underway with operation of that property, adding another pro
ducer at the end of the week to the camp’s list. Ely Central de
termined about where it will get the porphyry and when. Bos
ton Ely crosscut gave new and excellent signs. Ely Con. added
to the enthusiasm regarding its chances, and incidentally gave
the lime another boost. Downward revision of the stock list
threw a blanket of gloom through which but a few rays of sun
light penetrated, while new complications in the merger matter

UNDER FIRE AT LONG
RANGE MAN ESCARS TO
HILLS—DENIES IDEITITY
Wore Out Horses in Flight,
on Which Gained 3 Hour
Start-Sure of Identity
After a stern day's chase, opened
with gun play. Sheriff Al. Butler
landed in East Ely last night at
10:30 from the main line freight
with a foreigner believed to be An
drew Klanjac, charged with the mur
der of Marco Dukavac at McGill
Thursday night.
The man under arrest denies that
he is Klanjac, that he Is an Austrian
or that he knows anything about the
trouble of Thursday. Nevertheless,
he took two shots at the sheriff yes
terday morning and afterwards fled
Into the mountains with such speed
that the horses of the pursuing party
which took his trail were worn down
to a walk when they finally came up
with the man.
The man under arrest has only
been asked if he is Klanjac. Today
he will be given a chance to claim a
name and to prove it; also to prove
that he is a Greek, as he asserts.
Then he will have to explain why he
commenced shooting when the sher
iff started toward uim and why he
was apparently hiding and so anxious
to escape detention that he perform
ed almost superhuman feats In moun
tain climbing and back trailing yes
terday. On the whole, the man un
der arrest has a good deal more to
explain than the exact resemblance
which he bears to the wanted Klan
Jac's description.
After a thorough combing of Mc
Gill Friday and that night. Sheriff
Butler concluded that Klanjac was
not hidden there but that he had
made his way out and was working
toward the main line of the S. P.
Accordingly he went out on the en
gine of the main line passenger yes
terday morning and kept a keen
watch on the country. He saw no
one, but at Blain siding the engineer
asked ii he had seen a man in cor
duroys hiding In the brush along the
track about two miles back. The en
gineer’s description of the man tal
lied with that of Klanjac and the
sheriff at once left the train. Drop
ping behind the platform at the sid
ing he watched for the approach of
the man from up the track and was
shortly rewarded with sight of him.
About a mile from the siding the
approaching man evidently deter
mined to avoid the point where the

Capture of Four Expected Today**
Pursued By Dogs and 100 Officers
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 22.—With more than 100 officers in pur
suit, it is believed that the four men who held up M. P. train
No. 8 last night, near Eureka, 30 miles from this city, will be
run to earth tonight or tomorrow. Bloodhounds were put on the
trail today.
The safe in the express car resisted all the efforts of the
robbers to open it. They did not try explosives. It is believed
the loot of the robbers was small. Only 16 registered packages
were taken. Three registered pouches were overlooked.
