Killed bv q Snow Plow.

Shortly before noon last Saturday
as Jorgen Korstad, the section boss
who comes west from DeGraff, and
his man, Chas. Boyle, were pushing
their hand car this way in the cut two
miles east of here, snow plow and
caboose came up behind them and be-
fore they knew it it was right upon
them. Korstad saw it, jumped and
called to Boyle, but if he heard he
made no sign and the plow struck him
and it is a question if he ever knew
what hurt him. The wind was blowing,
they had their backs to the plow and
no whistle was blown and it is doubt
full ifithe engineer knew anyone was
in the cut until he hit the handcar,
which was broken to pieces. Boyle's
legs were broken and his head badly
cut and death was instantaneous. The
body wasLbrought to town and at
once taken to Hollands morgue.
Boyle lived in DeGraff, was about 80
years old and leaves widow and FIVE
children. This is the second man to
be killed bysa snow plow at that place.

The New Coast Trains.

The new transcontinental trains are
proving popular with the travelling
public, and Willmar business men es-
pecially, among the travellers from
this point, find them very convenient.
The east-bound train for St. Paul is
generally boarded by those wishing to
make flying trip to the cities, as
there are no stops at the stations east
OF this city.
When the Puget Sound express made
its first trip, last Sunday night, people
were out in large numbers all along the
line to see the first transcontinental
train over this division, and Willmar
had large delegation at the depot.
Among the unique features of the

Holds Great Northern Responsible.
The coroner's jury at the inquest
over the body of P. 81. Kelley, who
was killed in q railroad accident in
the St Paul yards, returned . verdict
blaming the Great Northern company
f'r the accident. The Great Northern
engine which crashed into the rear
of the Burlington train was shown to
have been defective, making it impos-
sible for the engineer to stop it sud-
denly" The engineer and fireman were
not acquainted with the St. Pau,
yards, and the escaping steam
from the pistons made it impos-
sible for them to see any distance
ahead. When the engineer noticed
he train ahead of him about four car
lengths from him he reversed the lever,
but as the sand box WAS tied up the
engine kept on goirg.

WILL FIGHT REDUCTION
SreAt Northern, Files Answer to Order
for Reduction Of Rates on
lumber and Coal.

Last Thursday the State Railroad
and w arehouse Commission took &C.
tlon regarding the complaint by Hen
ry K1auser of Litchtield against the
Great Northern Railway Co. that the
freight rate of 13 cents hundred on
lumber and 1920 ton on hard coal
from Duluth to Litchfeld and cents
hundred on lumber and $3.50 q ton
on hard coal was excessive, exorbt-
ant and unjust. The commission came
to the conclusion that the complaint
was justified and on the day above
stated made an order to the road to
reduce the rate to 8 cents q hundred
on lumber and $3.50 q ton for hard
coal from Duluth to Litchfield and
cents hundred on lumber and 81 90
ton for hard coal from the Twin
Cities to Litchield. This the road
was ordered to do within twenty days
or <tile an answer showing cause why
such reduction should not be made
The company refused to grsnt the re-
duction and has fled an answer in
which it is alleged that the present
rate is just and reasonable. 1t also
claims that the Commission has not
jurisdiction as q very small part o.
the Great Northern road from Duluth
palses through Wisconsin, making
tho case one of interstate traffic. The
date for the hearing had not been set
when this was written. The case is
one of vital Importance to all the
towns along the Great Northern, and
the proceedings at the hearing will be
watched with intoroat
