ANOTHER TRAIN FIRE-BOUND.
Passengers, After Running Gauntlet
of Fire, Escape

Passengers, After Running Gauntlet
of Fire, Escape.
The fire first struck Hinck)ey on the
east side cf the Duluth track and the
brave fire fighters for the first time
gave up the unequal battle and, already
too late in many instances, turned
their attention 10 their personal safety.
Tie Eastern Minnesota train from the
south had just come in ana the people
OF the panic-stricken city hocked to it
for safety. A number of boxcars were
coupled on and flied and covered with
men, W. men and children. Some
were bareheadcd, some were coatess,
some few clutched pitiful bundle
of the more precious of their
portable possessions. Families were
separated. and in all this was motley
crowd OF about 400 or more people.
The train pulled out just ahead of the
fire and succeeded in ultimately reach
ing Duluth. This circumstance, while
fortunate in a degree that cannot he
estimated, has made the confusion
greater, for it is not known WHO es-
capped in this way, and many people re-
ported dead may be alive. Had not
this number of people. largely women
aid children, left the doomed city
when they did, the loss of life would
have been increased, for their presence
would have added immeasurably to
he subsequent confusion.
Train Runs on Burning Track.
About the same hour the accommc-
iation train on the Hiuckley & St.
Cloud branch left for the latter place
with about 25 passengers. Its track lay
directly across the path of tile fire, and
their situation speedily became despeT-
ate. Ties were burning. rails were warp

train. The smoke had SO Increased
that the engineer was helpless. He
could not see the train behind him.
Burning trees that lay across tle track
were tossed aside by the engine.
Suddenly the track gave way and the
train toppled off to one side. No one
was injured and they pressed on to
Pokagama station, few rods ahead.
But a few feet in front of the engine
was discovered gorge 80 feet wide aud
40 feet deep where the trestle had been
burned away. The people succeeded

ton and escaped with few burns and
bruises. There were burned along the
track, however, four or five persons.

the north are reported burned to the

Pine City, the fire is blazing and

Some Of US are foolishly sensitive

dent organ, usually so fearless in
the championship of the people and
willing to air the views of all when
they assume the responsibility with
name and address (not necessarily
for publication but as pledge, etc)

umns of antagonisfn, and a pervad-
ing atmosphere 6f strictly stringent
partisanship. However, nothing

toned to greet with respect. Let

charge inadvertently.
IMpR1MATUR.
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1894-05-31

For the benefit of Imprimatur,
and the many other friends the
LEADER feels that it has on Alsea
Bay, we would simply say that the
LEADER violates no political pledge
direct or implied It is indepen-
dent in the true sense of the word,
but that does not imply total lack
Of politics. The editor that has
honest political convictions and fails
to stand by them through fear of
losing some patronage, is the worst
traitor that can be turned loose in
the journalistic field. A true indie
pendent paper is one that has the
moral courage, in the face of threats
Of withdrawal of patronage and
other means of support, to stand for
honest government, and one that
will denounce rascality and moral
turpitude wherever found. Wheth-
er the LEADER is independent or
not we point to its record on the
matter of the Job bank swindle; the
Hadley railroad fake; the present
ownership book deal, and other
matters. And the only pledge we
have made, or will make, is that as
long as the present editor runs the
LEADER, and we hope that the time
will be long, it will continue to de-
nounce all wrongs, whether out of
party or i'll. AS for the publication
Of articles in the LEADER, we will
have to resent the imputation of
Imprimatur. Our columns have
been, and are still open to all COM
munications, whether we agree
with them or not, and the editor
only reserves the right to exclude
those which in his judgement are
not conducive to the public good,
or which are too long, or some SIM
liar reason, and no article has ever
been rejected for political or other
partisan reason. And further, we
say that we welcome all honest crit
icism, particularly that of what he
terms the "hayseeds." A paper
that keeps in close touch with its
country readers will never go far
wrong, and honest mistakes are on.

Mr.. J. c. Barnes wishes me to
report populist gains in the black
belt. Early last week in Lower
Alsea precinct large fish hawk
carrying white fish passed soar

faithful pursued by the great Amer

house the collision in mid air oc-
Cured and there was a great fall in
fish, and our faithful brother had
fish for supper. Perceive the omen
and read the Interpretation. The
fish hawk represents the National
banks, the American eagle repre-
sents the people, and the collision
in mid air the coming fight. Result:
the populist gets the fish, Now
trot out the initiative and referen-
dun; that is democracy as we'll as
good populism.
