ELECTRIC LINE ACCIDENT.
Three Killed at Portland by a Run
away Trolley Car

AllIeO FOrI1anO 0y a Hun-
away Trolley Car.
PORTLAND, Or, April 1.-An electric car
on the Mount Tabor line jumped the track
this morning at East Morrison and Eighth
streets, and plunged through a bridge into
slough 25 feet below. Three bodies have
been recovered. The dead are:
w. w. BLANCHARD, laborer.
NEWTON BENSON, Is years old.
UNKNOWN YOUNG LADY.
There were thirty-four people the car
when the accident occurred but it is now be-
heved only three were killed. A number of
others were badly bruised and cut by glass
Of car windows. The accident occurred on
bridge which spans the slough at the foot of
long hill. When the car reached East
Eleventh street, two blocks from the scene
of the accident, the motorman lost control
of the car, which was then running about
fifteen miles an hour, down a steep hill. When
he realized that the beyond his con-
troll, the motorman jumped and left to car
to dash down the decline with its load of
passengers. Near the bottom there is curve
In the track and when the runaway car
reached the curve 1t jumped the track. The
car ran about forty feet and then the bridge
gave away, precipitating the car into the water
DeloW The conductor and several passengers
Jumped before the crash came and ESCAPED
with only slight shaking up. The passengers
were mostly laborers on their way to work
The water where the car went down was
not more than five feet deep, which enabled
most OF the passengers to escape drowning
Had the accident occurred forty feet further
ahead it is probable every person on the
car would have been drowned as the water is
0fteen feet deep.

UNFAVORABLE WEEK.
Showers of Almost Daily Occurrence
in North Dakota.

Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, April 27.-The North Dakota
crop report says: Taken in all, the past week
has not been favorable for farm work; show
ers have been of almost daily occurrence In
some parts of the state, and the temperature
has been lower than usual. Most of the low
lands adjacent to the rivers In the eastern
part of the state are still flooded, and nothing
can be done there until the ground has dried
considerably. All the high lands that are cul-
tivated are in excellent condition, and wheat
been sown, but until all the wheat is in little
will be done with other grains. There is still
plenty Of time for the low lands to dry out
= and be planted, and the large amount of moist
ure in the ground cannot be considered
detriment. All small ponds, lakes etc.,
which have been dry for the past few years
full of water, and the prospects are
considered by all close observers as better
than ever known before for good crop.
CROP NEWS.
MILNOR, N. D., April 27.--The weather is
fine and seeding among the farmers is well
under way. The ground is in fine condition
and everything is favorable for a good crop.
There will be a large acreage of wheat sown
In this county this season. and if the dogs of
East the diligent farmer will reap a hand
some reward for his labor. The forecast is
better prices and prosperous times.
