Fatal Railroad Accident,

On Thursday while the Ashland
train was on its way to this city, two
accidents occurred, by which Victor
Anderson and John Stranberg lost
there lives. Both were laboring men
and recently employed in the con-
struction of the road. Anderson, in
company with q companion got on the
train at some point below, and having
no money to pay fare with, were told
to get off at the next station which
was Poplar River The men got off,
bun when the train pulled out Ander-
SON attempted to jump onto the last
car, was thrown under the wheels, the
car passing over both legs, bruising
the body lengthwise, over the arm and
injuring the head He was brought
TO this city and died about five o'clock.
John Stanborg was at another station,
and wishing to come to town tried to
board the train when it was almost
under full Roadway. lie was thrown
under the cars and terribly mangled
and killed instantly. There was no
one to blame for the terrible results
but the men themselves.
Mr.. foote of the Inter Ocean
and Mr., Mitchell of the Duluth Tri-
bune seem to have formed a ce-part-
nership, their business to be that of
"burying the old fossils"-meaning
the old citizens-"of Superior" We
think the ''old fossils" of Superior,
which includes such men as Mr. Bar
don, Mr.. Gates, Col Hayes, Mr. Hol-
comb, Mr.. Richie, Mr.. Bertrand, and
others like unto them, have done
about as much toward developing the
town as such new leeches as Mr..
Foote, and Mr. Mitchell had better
return the printing office he borrowed
from Superior several years ago before
he blows his bugle any more. These
"old fossils" will probably object to
being buried by such defunct under
takers and from the outlook and cur
rent reports, we think the selt-institut-
ed burying committee will be the first
to 20 under the sod
A mill for the manufacture of
linseed oil and oil cake is one of the
things that is pretty sure to be added
to the industries Of Superior this sum-
mer. Parties have been here during
the past week looking far Il site and
have expressed themselves satisfied
with the situation and it is said have
picked out their lots and as soon as
these can be secured work will be com
menced. The oil cake is a grand feed
for stock, and the immense cattle in
dustry Of this county now 50 rapidly
developing, will furnish i home mar
kct for immense quantities of the
cake Such & mill weuld be a good
Thing for the town and also for its pro
prir:ors.

The job printing turned out by
the TINES office seems to give pretty
good satisfaction after all our neigh
Dor across the street has had to say
about our inability 10 do j3b work.
During the month Of April we book
Ell orders for job worl. to the value
Of 5000, and have printed and deiiv-
cred work to the value of little over
$3.50. New styles Of type, good paper
and good taste, with clear clean work,
Is what business men like, and the
place to get such work is at the TINES
Office. Send in your orders and we
will fiji them just as fast as we can
get to them Thanks for the favors
already received.
