date? This question is asked by hundreds
to-day. The answer is thus given by the
River Press: "Well, we all know his close
connections with that corporation and we
know what human nature is; we have it
from indisputable authority that Manager
Oakes, of the Northern Pacific, has threat
ened to WELD the full power OF his corpo-
ration to defeat the opening of the reserva-
ton and the construction OF the Manitoba
into Northern Montana; we know from the
same authority that the Northern Pacific
is freely putting up money to elect Sanders:

can recollect the occupants OF the car where
the frightful incineration occurred included
a woman with little girl of about g years;
another dark haired woman with babe

FRIGHTrUL SCENES.
From all accounts there must have been
a friphtful scene in the car wherein the
fatalities occurred. The pressure caused
the coach to assume the position of the
letter "a" The lamps were broken and
the stove overturned, scattering fire and
flames iu all directions through the coach.
The mangled and bleeding passengers were
pinned securely by the broken seats,
many heaped. one upon the other.
Their agonized shrieks told the story OF
fractured limbs, to which was added the
horrors OF cremation. It is positive that
only three escaped. Charles r. Smith is q
medical student OF Chicago. HIS parents
live in Charles City, Iowa. Mrs. Scherers'
two children, whom she reached out OF the
window as the flames surrounded her, are
four years and months old respect

THE HERO OF THE CATASTROPHE
was the engineer, who, in the face of SEEM
ing death, held his hand on the throttle
and thus saved the lives OF all the passen-
gers in the sleeper. Then, when the train
stopped, he crawled out from beneath his
engine bleeding.
