WENT DOWN WITH HIS ENGINE,
90 Brother-in-Law of Mrs. Geo. Crooks
Killed In Collision.

MRS. George Crooks of this city
resolved a Brainerd paper a few
days ago containing a detailed ac-
~coc ut of railroad wreck whichsre-
sulted Ia the instant death of her
<0rether-i n-law, Engineer Bob :
Marray, ooe of the best known en-
gployes of the Northern Pacific, he
4naving been in the service of that
isroad for-25 years. He was pulling
aDuesof the fast passenger trains OF
'sshe system, and through fatal
misunderstanding dashed head on
into freight engine and train at
she rate OF about 30 miles an hour.
The wreck occurred at 2 O'Clock 10
she morning of April 7th, at Cush-
ing, a small siding east of Sta
pies. Engineer Murray was the
only victim, the other engineer and
che fremen of both engines jump
ing IN time to escape. The dead
engineer left widow and several
children at his late home in ST. Paul.
lThe Tribune says that the engine
on which Mr.. Murray met his death
is end tas been long considered a
laoodoo by the railroad men. In
fj4ct,1not long ago, when it was
saken to the round house for slight
repairs it came out all painted in
deep black, significant as mark of
uao0rning for those who had gone
20 death while running it. 1t is
claimed that no less than twelve
,zmen haye met fate similar to that
which Engineer Murray encoun-
'tSered on this engine. 1t is num-
toered 228, and it was this that
fzilted Engineer Mason at Detroit,
Engineer Scott at Dover Lake, and
several firemen have gone down
with her, The engine was out on
she Yellowstone division for time
land 1T is said that five men lost
Gbeir lives on it out there. The en-
csgiDe was at the shops at Brainerd
after the big wreck at Dover Lake,
and vas the subject of much com
oaRe1G at that time. 1t is reported

BASE BALL CLUB ORGANIZED.

That Redwood Falls will have a
good base ball team this season is
no longer matter for speculation.
The old favorites of last years cam
paign got together week ago IN
Judge Laudon Office aud organized
by the election of III. M. Barrett as
manager and C. F. Apitz assistant,
with N. Y. r. Hunter as secretary
and treasurer. The players unani-
mously agreed to pua in the season
without Sunday ball games or any
other compromising practices.
The financial backing of the en-
terprise has been assumed by VIII.
Gold and other business men who
will make canvass and put the club
on responsible footing.
The members of the club have
been practising on the old grounds
at Lakeview park for week or
more at intervals, and before the
month is over will probably be as
signed to positions and properly
equipped. They can be depended
on to give good account of them
selves later.

SPRINGFIELD ASKS RELIEF.
ASKS the Legislature TO Have Telephone
Company Investigated.

'Fhe Springfield telephone row
.aas got into the legislature. Read
seyS of this paper will remember
vats8t a large number of the bust
ness men of that town organ
'i5ued-a local telephone company in
opposition to the Minnesota central
g&esephone company, which concern
f9aS practically absolute control

tSrst result of this organization was
vSO force down the rental prices of
EaS0nos in Springfield. A second

Springfield parties, was the estab-
aishnent at Springfield by the Min
uaesots Central company OF large
store and farm machinery depot, at
yuhioh goods we're sold at cost, or
iaNsS tGaan cost.
1t is not claimed that the tele
qpbOne~c0mpany is doing this in its
t9wn name, but that it has secured

t6lan for the Establishment of store

capital. It is well known to law
yers that il the company engaged
in this mercantile business direct
ly, it would be in strict violation OF
its charter and that any citizen
could ask for the forfeiture of the
latter.
The row has been so bitter that a
number of Springfield citizens asked
Representative S. d. Peterson to
have the legislature bring the tele-
phone company TO time, and on
Thursday of last week Mr.. Peter
son very quietly secured the intro
duction OF a resolution, calling upon
the attorney general to interfere.
Notice of debate was given that day
but the next day the resolution
was adopted by a unanimous vote.
Inasmuch as the matter is of some
local interest, the resolution is here
produced in full.
Whereas, the Minnesota Central
Telephone company was incorpor-
ated under the laws of this state for
| the purpose of constructing, own
ing and operating telephone lines
in this state, and in its corporate
capacity owns and operates a toll
line and exchange to and within
the village of Springfield in Brown
county; and,
Whereas, the people of Spring
field, for the purpose of utilizing
local rural lines, constructed and
are operating within said village
an independent local telephone ex-
change; and
Whereas, 1t is claimed by the peo-
pie Of said village that because of
said facts said Minnesota Central
Telephone Company, for the pur-
pose of destroying telephone COM
petition and coercing the business
men of said village into patronizing
the exchange and toll lines of said
corporation, haye established and
are maintaining store in said viii
lage where general merchandise and
farm machinery are being sold by
said telephone company at or below
cost, to the great decentralization OF
and injury to all the business inter
ests of said village; and
Whereas, such practices by cor
porations are tyrannical and intoler-
able and destructive of legitimate
business competition and freedom;
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
general be requested and
directed to forthw with investigate
said charges and take such steps as
the law affords for the forfeiture OF
the charter of such corporation or
it within its chartered
