McCLINTOCK'S DishENSE.
Mr.. McClintock, the freight conduc.
tor mentioned in our last issue us re.
sponsible for the railroad accident neal
Minnehaha, is a brother to Len Nc.
Clntock, formerly Of Worthington,
and nephew to Mrs. Shell. Mr.. Allen,
conductor of the gravel train which
collided with the freight, is a son of
Station Agent Allen Of this place, as
mentioned in our last. The matter has
therefore more than ordinary interest
for our people. The Red Wing 3epub-
lican gives Mr.. McCllntock's defense
us follows:
Mr.. McClintock, of the Minnel,aha
railroad disaster. is at the home of his
wife's parents in this city, Frustrated
with tile shock of the calamity that o.
yertook him last Sunday morning.
Last September lie married Miss Stella,
Baldwin, the daughter of d. NJ. Bald
Win, and lie then lacked one month of
being q years of age. lie has lately,
every hOnr nearly that he was off duty,
been assisting his wife in furnishing
and fitting up 4 house, and had over
worked. lie was on night duty and
had had no sleep for twenty-four hours
previous to the accident; he had been
out in the cold during the night, and
when he received his orders he went di-
rectly to his train, intending to read
the orders to the engineer; but the Ell.
CINE was not at the train at the time,
and he went into the caboose to wait
for the arrival of the engine and engi-
neer. There was Il fire in the caboose
at the time and the car was very warm.
and he unconsciously dropped to sleep
and did not awake in time to prevent
the Gu 'astrophe. The story of and en-
nifty between the conductor and engi-
neer is stoutly and Indignantly denied.
The fact is that the warmest friend
ship exists between them and their fam
lilies.
He is terribly afflicted over that
which, was no intentional fault OF his
own, yet, Ivy his misfortune, resulted so
disastrously in causing injury, loss and
death. He does think that while he
feels deeply the wrong that has result
ed from his dropping to sleep on his
post, the newspapers and others shonld
have little charity and remember that
he stood the same chances Of injury and
death as the others. and by the result
lost his position. which was the sup
port of himself and wife.
That "Worthington boy" Will Hum.
iston, now located in Cleveland, Ohio,
is just walking away with the persim-
mons. In 4 recent number of the
Cleveland Herald we find the follow

AN INTERESTING CASE
An operation of unusual Importance
to the medical profession was recently
performed 10y DR.. ". Ii. Humiston. as
sisted by DR.. Bennett, the circumstances
OF which are us follows:
On the 18th day of last October Heb
ing, the seven-year-old daughter Of Mr..
q. Deucher, living at $50 Pearl street,
WAS taken suddenly with !. dangerous
and violent attack of diphtlieria. DR..

days the progress Of the disease had

not have time t" make amy impression,
and on the eth the child was choking
and in a. ying condition.
1t was proposed us Il last resort to
perform the operation known as trach-
eot"my-cutting the wind pipe below

Oh the morning OF the 9th operations
were commenced. When the patient
had been prepared for the ircision Of
the instrument, it WAS unconscious. and
it was thong 1t that the child would die

breathing was more regular. For fifty
six hours after the operation was per-

during violent fit of coughing, threw

old communication was established.
The child has continued to make 4 rap

will be removed to-day, and the new O.

The press of the first district should
announce his communication from
all further participations in Republican

This is the way that little fve-column
bolter reads us out of the party. He is
young and green and hasn't been in
this end long enough to know that we
never were in his party. So we can't
be read cut. We are an independent,
anti-machine Republican and not one
of his kind with brass collar on. Rat.
tie your collar and clink your chains,
and flaunt your slavery to the world.
But the solid old ADVANCE wags on
the same, whatever the little skiffs and
row boats may do. 1--WE told you so,
that the ADVANCE is independent.
"We said all along" that the ADVANCE
was anti-machine. I'VE knew before

chine paper and wore a collar. We
prophesied, predicted, ''forecasted"
that the Herald was little collared

put the Herald and the Worthington
Journal both into an empty bag and
then there wouldn't be backbone e.
