BAD ACCIDENT.

A bad accident, resulting in the
death of an engineer and injur-
ing several other persons, occurred
on the Northwestern, on the bill
just east of New Ulm last Thursday
morning. A special freight train,
conducted by H. H. Chapman, we'll
and favorably known in this city,
was at Courtland shortly before,
and had received orders to pass
another train at that place. It did
so, and then started west for New
Ulm, the employees forgetting all
about the early passenger train,
which runs from Tracy to Sleepy
Eye. On arriving at the hill the
two engines collided with a terrible
crash. A St. Peter special gives
the particulars as follows:
Zone man killed and mangled,
another with his arm broken and
several more who were more or less
bruised. A baggage and mail car
The Redwood gazette., 1899-11-08

burned and several freight cars
badly demolished. This tells the
story Of a collision between freight
and passenger train on the North
western to-day, a mile and half
west OF Courtland village, this
county.
"The east-bound passenger train
drew out from New Ulm about six
O'Clock, and shortly after freight
train left Courtland for the west.
The two met with the above result.
The man killed was Charles Hanson,
one of the oldest and best engineers
on the Northwestern system. He
was the engineer in charge of the
passenger locomotive, and was
caught between the engine and ten
der. He was horribly mangled, but
lived about four hours. The man
whose arm was broken was salesman
fromS St. Paul. An investigation will
be instituted to learn who was re-
sponsible for the blunder.
Mr.. Chapman was one of the most
faithful employees of the road, and
has held many responsible positions
during his many years of railroad
ing His many friends here believe
he will be exhonerated from any
careless intent in connection with
tho accidant
