A Business Mems Association

Line officials a special reception
at Alexandria. Minnesota. One
hundred and fifty prominent men

,ment to their enterprising little
city.
Although every possible means
is being resorted to at the Leech
Lake Indian Reservation in Min
nesota to prevent an outbreak
by the Chippawa Indians. there
seems to be but little doubt but
that there will be trouble soon.
The Indians having become high
ly insensed over the Morris Bill,
have been gathering from farand
near at Bear Island where they
have been dancing, and as a re-
suit Mai. Scott, of the Tenth
Cavalry. acting agent at the
reservation, has secured authori-
ty to call on Dakota for troops
ia case they are needed.
Desperadoes wrecked an east
bound Santa Fe passenger train
in Colorado last Saturday, thirty
miles east OF Pueblo, near Apish-
apa, which was loaded with east
rn bankers on their way home
from trip to California. The
engine and four coaches were
ditched and landed in the bed Of
4 creek, after falling through a
steel bridge which had been
wrecked, about thirty were in
jured, although none were killed.
Engineer Walker, of La Junta,
was badly scalded and his
chances for recovery are doubt
full. Among the iul ured appears
the name OF J. 6. Benson, a we'll
known kanker of Coal Harbor,
Mclean County, N. D., who is
said to have had his face badly
cut and most of his teeth knock
ed out. The train when
wrecked WAS running at the speed
of fifty miles per hour, and as
they approached a bridge the
rails spread, the spikes having
previously been pulled out by the
wreckers, so when the engine
struck the bridge the first span,
which was one hundred feet in
length, went down with a crash.
The marvellous escape without
death is a mystery indeed.
