Collision Between Great Northern Freight
and Northern Pacific Passenger.
ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Nov. 26.-North.
ern Pacific passenger No. 2 was run
into at 4:26 g. m. by q Great Northern
freight in charge of Conductor Work.
The accident occurred at the East side,
where the Hinckley line crosses the
Northern Pacific. Both trains arrived
at the crossing at the same time
and the passenger tried to run
ahead of the freight, which
kept on and caught the passenger
between the baggage and smoker, car
rying both cars into the ditch. The
smoker was filed with passengers, and
some ladies were also in the baggage
car on account of the passenger coach
being crowded. Several were hurt, and
physicians were at once summoned and
the injured cared for and taken to the
hospital. The news agent was among
those hurt. Neither the freight or it's
crew were damaged. The passenger,
without baggage and smoker, went to
st. Paul at 7:1O.
Conrad Schafer's wounds are most
serious, and consist mainly of scalp
wounds and possibly a fracture. He is
a transient and has been working in
Dakota, from which place he was re.
turning. All will probably recover.

G. c. McIver, a wealthy vineyardist of
Mission San Jose. Both Greene and
McIver were dissatisfied with the show
ing made by Directum in the East, and
1t was decided to turn the horse over
TO Dunstan, who will probably take
him East.

The Parker New Era in speaking OF
retrenchment in state affairs manifests
the usual short-sightedness by attacking
the educational institutions. It would
seem hardly necessary to repeat the con-
illusions Of an enlightened age that edu-
cation and training were the cheapest
forms OF government and to close up our
public institutions would be simply a
saving at the spigot and a wasting at
the bunghole. The New Era evidently
does not have ever a speaking acquaint-
ance with our state educational institu-
tlons when 1t talks as follows:
The states expense are greater than
her income. The incoming legislature
will have TO meet that issue. 1t should

retard the education OF the youth OF the
state. In almost every county of the
state there are from one to five excellent
high schools, where all the higher
branches OF practical education are
taught; and then there are several first

He denied telling the Helena sheriff
that he was happy, and had not told
DIR. Cole that he was contented and
wished he had got married earlier. He
said that after the marriage his wife
had come to his room, disguised her
voice like the janitor, and struck
him in the face when he opened the
door. He had instructed Detective
Devereux to do what was right about
paying the expenses of getting wit
nesses to testify. He claimed that he
knew his wife was immoral after their
marriage, because she had told him dur
ing their quarrels that she had good
friends on the outside.

ing that she would give evidence her
