Passengers over the Duluth who left
st. Paul at 10 O'clock Saturday night,
expecting to reach the Zenith City by
$3.50 the following morning, were
previously disappointed owing to the
derailment OF two engines, two express
cars and baggage car about half way
between the two cities. The train was
snOw-bound in desOlate spot, the
nearest farm house being half miIe
away, when the train jumped the track
and the engine and three cars were
tilted over on their sides. This occurred
shortly after breakfast, and from
that time until 6 o'clock in the
evening, when relief came through
the medium of the limited express,
the passengers bad a pretty sorry time
of it. Some of the gentlemen went to
the farm houses and returned with a
quantity of mince pies, preserves and
homemade bread, and as there was an
abundance of fuel, the Snow
bound passengers made themselves
as comfortable as possible. 1t was
after 10 o'clock Sunday evening when
they finally reached their destination,
but before leaving the train they did
not forget to tender vote of thanks to
the conductor and other traimnen for
courtesies extended under such trying
circumstances
