Duluth people on the Great Northern
trestle which stretches for mile from
the Union depot to the water front on
Rices point.
The trestle is about 200 feet high

saw horse running over it away from
the depot.
The spaces between the ties were
wide enough to allow the animals feet
to go through, but he never stumbled.
Soon it was observed that a passen-
ger train was approaching from the
opposite direction and was moving
rapidly. Horse and train were ap-
preaching each other. Engineer George
Gill Whistled a warning and reversed
his engine, but the horse galloped on
as surefooted as on a pNa'd street.
The train had almost stopped when
the horse dashed into the locomotive
and, with the recoil, it's feet slipped be-
tween the ties. The horses leg was
broken and it was necessary to shoot

General Socum dieaster made public to-

as inefficient and ss lnsufficiently manned.
The inspectors are charged with having

The district chairman Of the Democratic
party no doubt had the article in question
first published in the Washington County
Journal, aud paid for its republication in
+ the other Democratic papers in the dis
trict that put it in their columns
Mr.. Miller, the editor OF the Norton
Free Press, considered it an effort on the
part of tie Democratic chairman to cor
rupt him. Under the circumstances and
considering the character of the publica-
ton he was right in reaching that conclu.
sion. Not only was it corrupt but it was
a cowardly, sneaking, vicious act on the
part of the Democratic chairman, aud the
cowardly manner in which he introduced
it to the public shows that it is tissue of
untruths.
1t strikes us that Mr.. Wysor will have
to disclaim not only responsibility for but
liberation of the article in question. 9th
erwise his name and candidacy will be as
sociated with one of the dirtiest pieces Of
politics ever practiced in this district. We
were assured that Mr.. Wysor's candidacy
would introduce cleaner politics to the
district. In a measure that assurance had
already been violated, and if he does not
put his stamp of disapproval on this con-
temptible and cowsrdly act of his mara
ger and district chairman bis candidacy
will prove complete disappointment on
the line Of cleanliness.
