DEATH UNDER WHEELS
Switchman Powell Instantly Killed
in Wisconsin Central Railway
Yards in Minneapolis.

John j. Powell, at one time employ
ed as a switchman in Wilfm&r, met
instant death last Wednesday after
noon under the freight cars while at
work as foreman of the switching crew
in the Wisconsin Central railway
yards in Minneapolis.
"POwell was experimenting the
setting out of train of freight
cars" says the Minneapolis Times,
"when it became necessary to make q
coupling between two cars upon one
of which the chain connecting the
link pin with the lever operating the
automatic coupler was found to be
broken. Powell stepped between the
moving cars to make the coupling by
hand. He stumbled on switch frog
and fell PROSTATE to the ground. The
car, moving forward, passed over his
body. Before the train could be stop
ped several other cars had passed
over the now :nanimate form. When
the mangled remains were finally ex-
tricated from under the wheels it was
found that Powell was dead. Death
had probably come almost instant
aneously. Powell was "a years of
age and was q married man. His
body was removed to an East Side
undertaking room.''
POwell's home was at 301 Univer-
sity avenue NE He removed from
Willmar about three years ago. For
the past ten years he had been q
member of the Willmar lodge of
Workmen. At this writing no other
Information than that contained above
has been received in this city.
Later-The news confirming the
death of Mr.. Powell was received here
this week by the A. O. U. W. lodge.
The d. ceased carried an insurance
policy of 81 600 In that order, and his
wife and two children will not be left
without financial support.

RAMSEY SOLONS
OFFIsH ON CLAPP
NOT TO EXCEED -FOUR PLEDGED
TO HIM.
The Senator's Difidence in Outlining
His Plans to His Friends and the
Lack of Material Facts in His State
ments Are Factors in the Ramsey
County Situation.

Dissension in the Ramsey house del
egation over the subject of supporting
Moses E. Clapp for reelection to the,
senats seems to be increasing.
The J ournal has it from mem
Der of the delegation that not more
than four and perhaps only two, are
pledged to Clapp unqualifedly: For
I some reason the others are hanging Off
and are refusing to commit themselves.
The delegation as whole naturally
desires St. Paul man for the senate,
but Clapp does not seem to be the man
they want. One of the Ramsey pledges
ton, but can probably still be depended
upon, simply because the giver does not
want to break his word.
/ Certain Ramsey house members have
also confided to a j urn reporter
that they are much annoyed over Clapp s
refusal to- take them into his confidence
as to plans. They are especially
''niffed' at his refusal to give those
supposed to be his friends any state
! ment as to the number of votes he has
! or the names of any of those pledged
1 is growing that Clapp's claims do not
include enough material facts.
Senator Clapp was at the Merchants
today, ut his headquarters, but there
were no country members about. With
! the arrival of Speaker-elect Clague, on
Monday, house members seeking polltl,
cal plums are expected to arrive, and
the senatorial workers will get busy.
Mr.. Clapp says he will leave Monday
he had a long conference with Governor
Van SAINT at the capitol. Neither will
say what was the subject of converse
ton. e.. .

A large Japanese force moved out in
the morning along the Feng Wang

SLAMS had force strongly posted in q
ravine 80 miles southeast of Haicheng.
The Japanese were preceded by two
battalions, who walked into the Rus
sian ambuscade.
They received murderous rifle and
artillery fire at close range and were
wiped out, only one or two escaping.
The main Japanese force, which was
greatly superior to the Russian force,
tried to outf1ank the Russians who
drew off without losing a man. The
Japanese, closing in, found the ravine
vacant, save for their own dead.

KUROPATKIN RESTS LITTLE.
How Famous Russian General Directs
His Campaign.

Lao Yang, June 14.-The entire Rus
sian plan of campaign is directed from
a railway carriage here, in which Cen
eral Kulopatkin works. eats and sleeps
The car is divided into a saloon, a
study and bedroom. The commander
in chief passes the most of his time in
the study at work, surrounded by his
aides. Although small of stature,
Kuropatkin is at once distinguishable
among his encourage, however brilliant
may be their uniforms, by his deter
mined gestures and sturdy figure. He
has the reputation of being just and
his word is law. His officers reposs
the fullest confidence in him and he is
the idol of the common soldiers, and
the foreign attaches find him most
pleasant. He takes little or norest ex-
cept half hours siesta after lunch,
when the heat is excessive, and he oc-
casionally indulges in the distraction
of reading literary works. Dispatches
from the scene Of operations are
brought to him at any hour of the day
or night. The general eats we'll, of
simple dishes, but he seldom remains
at the table more than a half hour
He drinks wine, smokes cigar or two
after breakfast and sets an example of
to his officers. He
rises at o'clock and retires at mid
night.
