BAD WRECK
Freight Cars Piled up at Crooks
t0n-Steel Rails Chopped
To Bits.

The most serious wreck in the
history of Northen Minnesota
railroading occurred in the
Crookston yards yesterday at
ternoon. A heavily loaded east
bound wheat freight crashed into
the ditch north of the city and
piled twenty or more wheat cars
and their contents into a solid
mass of debris and wreckage. A
defective switch was RESPONSE
BILE for the accident, and the fact
that no lives we're lost is consid
cred marvellous.
Hobos, who were riding be-
meath the cars upon the trucks,
had narrow escapes aud several
were severely injured. The en-
CINE and fore part of the train
got safely over the switch which
was responsible for the accident,
but the heavily laden wheat cars
pried the switch openand the re
sultant shift of the tracks re-
suited in the tearing up Of the
tracks and ditching nearly the
entire train. The track is torn
up for half a mile and all train
service delayed while the wreck
ers are at work. Steelrails were
literally chopped to pieces by the
force Of the impact. There are
5000 bushels Of grain on the
tracks. A man is missing who
may be in the wreckage.

JACK FROST HERE
Frost King Making Mighty Visits
And Leaves Turning
Yellow.


That autumn has begun in
earnest is manifested by the
nightly visitations Of Jack Frost,
and already the sidewalks are
sometimes covered with frost in
the early mornings. Hazel nuts
are becoming ripe and the leaves
are turning to a yellowish hue
and will soon depart until an
other spring. Preparations are
being made for the winter by all
the people of the city and coun-
try and before another month is
passed the pleasant glow of the

Fearful Odds Against Him.

Bedridden, alone and destitute.
Such, in brief was the condition
of an old soldier by name Of J. j.
Havens, Versailles, O. For years
he was troubled with kidney dis
ease and neither doctors nor
medicines gave him relief. At
length he tried Electric Bitters.
It put him on his feet in short
order and now he testifies, "I'm
on the road to complete recov-
cry" Best on earth for kidney
and liver troubles and all forms
of stomach and bowel complaint.
Only SOC. Guaranteed by all
druggists.

BROTHER
is GUILTY
81 FOurnier, Brother to Dahl
Suspect, Makes Plain
Statement of Facts.
FOURNIER SAYS BROTHER HAS
ALWAYS BEEN WILD.
Two Brothers Started From Home
at Age of Seventeen but Ways
Have Deyiated.

ST. Fourier, a brother of Paul
Fournier. who is being held at
the county jail upon the charge
Of numbering N. O. Dahl and
daughter Aagot, arrived in the
city yesterday from his home at
Turtle River. Mr.. Fourier
was approached this afternoon
by a representative of the Pic.
neer and when asked as to what
he thought about his brother he
replied that it was his opinion
that Paul had a hand in the
murder of the old man and his
innocent daughter.
II am very sorry to admit it, }"
said Mr.. Fourier, "but Paul has
always been a wild boy. We left
home at the age of seventeen and
since then each has been COM
PEELED to hustle for his own liv-
ing. [ was married after [ had
been away from home few
years but my brother is single
as yet and during the time he
has spent away from the infu-
ence of our relatives has prob
ably been mixed up with some
pretty bad company. I do not
believe that the crime Of killing
the two Dahls is too terrible to be
committed by him, and, as 10th
as | am to say it, I believe that
he had a hand in the murder"
Mr.. Fourier appears to be a
very clean and upright gentle
man and the subject of his
brothers misdoings brought
tears to his eyes as he told of his
conviction that Paul had com
mitted the deed.

DUG WAY OUT
WITH KNIFE
George Guyatt Held Fast I'm
der Large Timber For
Forty Minutes.
LEG WAS BROKEN In TWO DIFF
FERENT PLACES.
Steadied Horses With Voice While
He Freed Himself With
Jack Knife.

The Pioneer yesterday after
noon made mention of an acct
dent which occurred to George
Guyatt while hauling a long piece
of timber near the Sandy river,
north Of Solway. The details of
the accident are as follows:
Guyatt was hauling a large
piece Of timber sixty feet in
length when in attempting to
clear one end Of it away from q
stump the horses started and
Guyatt fell, the log rolling over
on to his leg. He was all alone
and before he could stop the
horses they had gone mum Der
OF feet, dragging the heavy tim
Der over his leg and breaking it
in two different places. His
cries finally stopped the team
and he made a desperate attempt
and made a desperate etfortto ex-
tract his leg from under the log,
but it was unsuccessful. He
then thought of his jack knife,
and in a moment was digging
away furiously around the i'm
prisoned limb, meanwhile steady
ing the horses with his voice. 1t
took him forty minutes to COM
plete the task, and at the end of
that time he extracted the leg,
which was afterwards found to
be broken in two places.
A neighbor happened to hear
bis cries for help and arrived
upon the scene, and afterwards
hitched up his own team and
brought the injured man to Sol
way, from where he was put on
the train and brought to the
county hospital in this city,
where the leg was set and he is
at present resting quietly.

HARRIS LEADING FOR REGISTER
OF DEEDS.
Results of the Legislative Can.
yass is in DOubt-VOte
Very Close.

At three o'clock today there
were some sixteen precincts still
unreported with the vote very
close in several cases.
Yesterday it was believed that
Simons had been reelected re-
preventative by fair majority.
Advices received from Red Lake
at $3.50 this afternoon. however,
gave Simons but 100 majority in
that county while Maryland S
majority in Clearwater also lacks
but few votes of being an even
hundred. At 3 o'clock today 20
precincts in this county out of
46, gave Simons 727, Maryland
719. Thus it appears that the
vote of Beltrami county will de-
eide the contest, the chances
favoring SimOns.
The contest for county attorney
and for register of deeds contin-
ues to excite the keenest inter.
est. Thirty four precincts give
Loud lead of 40 with sF'unkley
closely behind Glib bons. The re-
turns from Beaudette and
Spooner received this afternoon
placed Harris in the lead for
register of deeds with Phibbs
and Swedback closely following.
1t is reported that the ballots
sent to Ii pple and LIE Clair were
never received and that no vote
was cast in these precincts. No
vote was cast at Alaska.
Wagner in the Fourth and
Danaher in the Fifth commits
sioner district are easily elected.
In the Second, with Shotley to
hear from the vote stood Sagnes
147, Gunderson 131, Pitkin 1874.
1t is believed that Gunderson
will get good majority in Shot,
ley giving him the nomination.
