Sunday evening about 7:i5 o'clock there
was an accident on the Camp street and
Prairie avenue car line at the point where
olney street connects with North Main,
a car becoming unmansgable and running
off the tracks there.
The car begsh to slide along the tracks
almost from the top OF the hill which
commences TO slope az Prospect street. Al
first the motorman, Philip Wright or BIZ
Prairie. simply thought a little sand
would place II under control. but when
this was tried and the brakes put on
both had no effect and the car was slid
ing rapidly and nearing North Main
street.
The hope OF the motorman was then
that the car would take the curve as was
It's custom. but Instead. Il jumped the
track. and running across the street
crashed into one OF the poles supporting
the feed wires and completely demolished
the front platform
There were about 10 passengers in the
car al the time and most Of them were
injured. some being hurt seriously, but
there was not one person who was
not shaken up some by the contact OF
the car with, the pole.
The motormaR who remained at his
post during the trying ordeal, was the
most seriously injured and was removed
to the hospital. The remainder of the
injured were taken into nearby drug
stores, where attention was given them.
They were: Motorrnan Philip Wright,
who sustained a serious nervous shook,

Stewart is making an inspection

A in this city on next Monday

T lin says that if he should receive

get a strong company to the front
in less than forty-eight hours and
appears to be very enthusiastic
over war matters. South Dakota
bays have expressed a desire to
help Japan and no better material
could be had than that which can
be enlisted in South Dakota. If
such a thing were possible, Gen.
Conklin would be only to glad to
station a recruiting point and Ell
list a strong company, but under
the neutral agreement this cannot
be done. Gen. Conkhn takes a
great interest in militia matters

added to their treasury.
The program was directed by
Martha Washington, assisted by
Nellie Curtis.
Martha was ably represented by
Mrs. Farr, Nellie Curtis by Mol

" think we were spending the
evening with the illustrious family
of George Washington.
The program consisted of var
ious rare selections Of which the
recitations by Miss Greatrex and
solos by Lew Sandys are worthy
of special mention. During the
evening punch was served BY Ed
ma Smith and Dorothy Morse. AZ
ter several rounds Of progressive
finch the ladies served an elegent
lunch OF coffee, cake, sandwiches
and pickles. and everyone went
home satisfied with their pleasant
evening, but rather disappointed
that George Washington had been
delayed across the river with a
surveying party and did not
reach town in time to be present
at the most pleasant successful
event Of the season. The courier
explained that the cause Of delay
was a discussion between George
and one Of the surveyors, as to
which place they would vote for
