Wednesday's Wreck.

A report was in circulation yester.
day that the wreck of No. was caus.
ed by defective trucks under the bag.
gage car. 1t was said in proof of
this that one of the porters OF the
tourist cars had said that the train
was laid out for forty minutes at
Colfax or Auburn on the Fourth for
the purpose of repairing the trucks.
an INDEPENDENT reporter interview
ed a number OF passengers, who ihad
been on the train all Of the Fourth
and all but one of them said there
was no truth in the report further
than that the drawhead of the bag
gage car pulled out near Colfax or
Auburn and that it was repaired suf-
ficiently to get on the side track at
either one OF those towns, where the
broken car WAS setout and the bag
gagetransterred to another car. The
one who did not agree with the
above was boy who did not seem to
have clear recollection Of what did
occur.
Conductor Middleton told the re-
porter that the tender of the engine
jumped the track first. This, he
thought, was caused by the rails
spreading.
The list Of injured should have in
cluded Harry Westlake, one OF the
postal clerks, whose residence is in
Oakland, California. When seen by
the reporter yesterday at the wreck
Mr.. Westlake said he was not hurt,
but after the excitement was over he
suffered good deal from an internal
injury in the region of the heart. He
left for his home on No. 4 yesterday
afternoon.
All of the injured had recovered
sufficiently last night to proceed on
their journey or return home. Mrs.
Clauson who was the most seriously
injured was taken to the hospital at
Ogden. All the other passengers
went East On the second section of
No. 3 last night.

The Skeleton out in the Hills,

Some time ago Mr.. Knox Crane,
while cutting wood out in the hills
came across skeleton. 1t wae
thought that it might be that of a u.
5. soldier. At Mr.. Mitchell's request
Mr.. Crane took the trouble to bring
the bones to town. They were taken
to the manse. The skull was COM
pared with one of Modoc Indian
and also with one of a Pitt River In
dian to see if it could be identified as
an Indian skull. After a careful ex-
animation the skull could not be
classed, as the face below the eyes
had been so mutilated and so the:
matter was dropped.
The three skulls may serve d goof
purpose if kept for Use by the high
school pupils.

DIVISION OF WHITE EARTt

Washington, April 5.-The Indian
commissioner hos made q division Of
the White Earth agency, making
two agencies, in accordance with the
provisions of the Indian appropria-
ton bill. The Leech Lake agency,
under Capt. Mercer, will comprise
Lee. h Lake, lass Lake ana Lake
WinnebegOshish reservation and the
chippewa reserve north of Leech
Lake. Agent Sutherland will have
charge of the White Earth reserva-
ton proper. and Mile Lacs, which
will constitute the White Earth
agency. Secretary Hitchcock will
approve the Indian commissioner g
Recommendation that Agent Mer-
GERS headquarters on the Leech Lake
agency be located near Walker. The
secretary has informed the Indian
missioner verbally to this eff ct.
The Indian schoOl near Tower,
Minn., on the Vermillion Lake reser-
walton, has been taken from under
the control Of the agent at La POiDte
and made bonded school under the
charge of the present superintendent,
Oliver II. Gates. This was done in
or.,er to relieve the La Pointe agent
of the burden of the Tower school,
which is located at such a distance
from the agency that 1t makes 1t i'm.
possable for him to give 1t the care
and attention required by the de.
partment. Supt. Gates will have
charge of educational affairs, while
other matters will remain as hereto
tore under the La POlnte agency.

Duluth to Twin Cities via
s Brainerd.

Duluth News-Tribune: The recent
announcement that the Northern
Pacific would henceiOrth come into
active competition with the other
sros.tlls i.,r vin O,sy i,nsifiees has
caused much 2l,ecula ti,,n al0OnG rail-
road and freight men. 1t has been
followed by a cancell stiOn of the old
tariffs that the Northern Pacific had
Ia effect with the other roads aud
the introduction OF q Twin City
tariff of it's own on lumber and coal.
The road to feel the competition
moet k.enly will be the st. Paul &
Duluth. and this line will be hurt
more in the hauling Of coal than IN
any other commodity. The North.
ern Pacific will be able to haul coal
quite as handiIy as any other road.
1t is commodity that need not al
ways he rushed through In g. time
limit, and this is especially true at
certain seasons Of the year, so the
long haul by way Of Braine d will
be no material hauling. Heretofore
the St. Paul & Duluth has had two
commodities On which it did ''shine"
coal south.bOund, and -four north
bound. The Northern Pacific can
bring such pressure to bear on the
coal companies that it is bound to
he able tn secure u large slice Of the
coal haul from Duluth and Superior
to st. Paul and Minneapolis. 1t
buys coal iteelf in immense quanti-
ties and hauls large quantities Of II
ont ON it's line. These facts will he
h. ought. tO bear on the coal mer-
chants and the result is bound t0 be
effective. The Northern Pacific is in
shape almost. tO make a demand
i"r at least u percentage Of this haul .
and get it, while the st. Paul & Du-
luth will he unable to help herself.
The Great Northern will not be hurt,
1t has just about as strong claims
on the coal companies as the North
ern Pacific. The same is true of the
Omaha.
