TERRIBLE SCENES At WRECK.
Five Hundred Head Of Cattle Killed In
Railway Accident at Ar.
villa

Five Hundred Head Of Cattle Killed In
= Railway Accident at Ar.
villa.
One OF the worst wrecks in the his
tory of the Great Northern occurred
at Arvilla, N. D., q station this side
OF Larimore, last Saturday, in which
twenty-five cars of stock were de-
rallied and about five hundred ami
mails killed. The train was east
bound and had to turn out onto the
switch. It is supposed that the wheel
OF one of the trucks struck the end of
the switch.
Out of over forty cars, twenty two
were thrown into an indiscriminate
heap and the work of clearing the
track so that trains could pass was
not completed until late in the night.
The scenes at the wreck were tor
rible, as living animals were piled up,
injured In every conceivable manner,
and there was no possibility of either
relieving or killing them. A young
man who was beating his way east in
cattle Car had q miraculous escape.
he was concealed under the roof of
the car, which was split in the shock.
His name was given as James Bird
Smith. He was pinioned by one leg,
but worked himself loose, practically
uninjured. Every animal in the car
was killed.
About fifty cattle and one hundred
horses were saved, while others were
still living beneath the pile of wreck
age.

An Enjoyable Party.

: The children of St. Luke's Sunday
School enjoyed themselves immensely
last Saturday afternoon in spite of
the unfavorable weather. The occa-
sion was the annual picnic given for
the children of the parish, which is
usually held on the Rectory grounds.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. and Mrs.
81. J. Ramsett an invitation had been
extended for holding the picnic this
year on their lawn, but the damp
weather made it necessary to change
that plan and the Bonde hall was Sc
cured. Here the children INDUCED in
games and refreshments were served
to both young and old. It was mer-
ry party of young people, and when
later In the afternoon they were all
escorted to the merry-go.round for q
free ride, their ecstacy reached it's
height. It is safe to say that the
children voted the anniversary party
of 1902 fully as pleasant as proceed
ing ones in spite of the inclement
weather.

Late Accident Cause Of
Postponement.
Postponeme ent.

Indianapolis, Sept. 23.-5 p. m.-As
result of the trolley accident at
Pittsfeld, Mass, the president receiv-
ed several serious bruises. One of
these, on the left leg between the knee
and the ankle, has developed into a
small abscess. The president is en-
tirely we'll otherwise, but out of an
abundance of caution Doctor Oliver
and Cook of Indianapolis, DR.. Lung,
the presidents surgeon, and DR..
Richardson of Washington, D. c.,
decided to-day on an operation, which
will be performed at once at St. Vim
cents hospital in this city. The
president will require entire rest for
ten days or two weeks.
1t is necessary to cancel all the re-
naming engagements for his trip and
he will 60 directly from indianapolis
to Washington this evening. There
is no danger whatever.
The presidential train was scheduled
to arrive in this city at 2 clock on
Friday morning, after making it's
stay in the Twin Cities. After a ten
minutes stop here, arrangements were
made to leave for Sioux Falls so as
to arrive there at a. m. Advices re-
ceived from the railway officials here
were that the train would be pulled
from Minneapolis to Willmar by En-
gineer Kemp, who was to be relieved
at this point by Engineer Dram. In
handling the train through this point
W. E. Tew has the honor of being
selected as the conductor, with George
Gary as brakeman.
The presidential train is composed
of six cars and is said to be the finest
the country can afford. The usual
precaution is taken for the welfare of
the president and his party by the
sending ahead of inspectors on the
route. Secret service men are also on
board the train, who are sent out tfrom
the Washington station. -

The Smaland Threshing Company Los.
Separator and Straw Cart in
Town Of oennessee
The Smaland Threshing Co. suf
fered loss by fire in the town of Gen
nessee last Thursday night, on the
farm of William Anderson, where
they were engaged in threshing:
A separator was burned, besides q
straw cart. The origin of the fire is a
mystery, as it is claimed by the work
men that there was no fire in the en-.
gine when the crew left that night.
The loss was not discovered until in
the morning, when the property was
found in ashes.
The owners of the threshing rig are
the following gentlemen: John Wick
lund, Joseph Isaacson, Henry Isaac
son, John A. Johnson. Henry Bro
man, Elmer Moriue, Frank Broman,
Andrew Anderson, Chris Person, John
Lundquist and p. E. Lundquist.
Since the above was put in type, the
following communication was received
from John Wicklund:
"The Smaland Thresher Co.'S separ-
ator was consumed by fire last Thurs
day night. The origin of the fire is
not known, but appears to be incen-
diary. The machine in charge OF
John Wicklund was threshing for
VIM. Anderson in town of Gennesee,
and finished setting about half past
six O'Clock p. m. AS the boys planned
to take in the street fair on Friday,
the machine was not pulled into
another setting, but LETT outside the
barn yard, the engine detached from
the separator. Everything was left IN
safe condition and no fire was seen
till about midnight, although hands
in charge had passed by the machine
several times and as late as half past
ten O'Clock Emil Anderson, a son on
the place, passed by the machine and
no fire was seen. The fire was started
in the separator or straw cart some
five or six hours after the machine
stopped. There was no insurance on
same.''

Of Interest to Shippers.

The Terminal Dispatch Association
has issued notice to the public,
which reads as follows: -"
Minneapolis, MIMI, Aug. 20, 1902.
To the Consignors and Consignees o1
Freight in Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, and to all whom il
may concern:
Serious loss and much Inconvenience
is caused both to shippers and the
railroad companies when cars are un.
necessarily delayed in the loading
and unloading of freight. Shippers
are often unable to procure cars,
tracks are encumbered and the delay
of one car interferes with the delivery
OF othes cars on the same track. The
amount charged is not sufficient to
compensate the railroad companies
for the use of their cars and track for
warehouse purposes, nor often for the
extra expense in repairs and switch
ing service from rehandling; hence the
release of cars is preferred to the rent
al charge for their delay.
The following rules will be enforced
by the Terminal Dispatch Association
without discrimination on and after
seven (7) O'Clock a. m. of Saturday,
Sept Goth, 1902.
Forty-eight (48) hours, will be al.
lowed for the loading and unloading
of any commodity without charge.
After which, the charge of one dollar
(S1.0O) per car, per day or fraction
thereof, will be made.
Cars delayed at any point by rea.
son OF awaiting payment of freight
charges or awaiting bills of lading O,
instructions as to disposition, or de-
tanned on account OF neglect of con
signors to furnish shipping instruc
tions, or on account of error in ship
ping instructions, or on account o.
being stopped in transit for billing
milling, shelling, cleaning or fo1
change of load by owner or his agent
or by>reason of improper, unsafe o,
excessive loading, are subject to Cal
service rules.
Consignees will not be allowed tc
detain car more than forty Eight
{ 49, hours free of charge unless they
reload the same car, in which case
consignees shall have ninety-six (96,
hours for unloading and reloading.
Cars containing freight to be de-
livered on team tracks or private sid
ing shall be delivered immediatel,
upon arrival, or as soon thereafter a.
the ordinary routine of yard worl
will permit.
Cars for private sidings shall b<
considered delivered when actuall,
placed on the tracks designated, o.
when they would have been placed
had such tracks permitted.
Agents will collect car servic,
charges accruing under the rules re
garQlesS OF the condition OF tht
weather..
Claims should be made direct to the
manager with paid car service bills
attached. The manager will investi
gate and decide each case on its
merits.
All complaints which may arise
from the non-conformity with tht
rules and all doubtful or complicated
cases involving uncertainty as to thu
meaning and application of these
rules, should be referred to the man
ager for decision.
