Seriously Injured.

Eugene DeRemee, of the night
switching crew, while at work in the
railroad yards last Saturday evening,
was quite badly injured in an acci-
dent. His shoulder and other parts
of the body were severely bruised and
he received several deep scalp wounds.
,DeRemee was at work in the west
end of the yards, near the stock yards.
He was standing on the caboose plat
form while some cars were being
switched, when the engine suddenly
bumped into the caboose with such
force as to throw him against the iron
ladder and precipitate him to the
ground, with the above results. He
was picked up in an UNCONSCIOUS con
dition and taken to the Office of DR..
MacLaughlin, where his injuries were
attended to, and later removed to- his
home in the east part of the city, where
he is receiving the best of care from
the family and the attending physi4
clan.

Foot Badly Crushed.

John Schwartz, student brakeman,
was the victim of an accident last Fri
day evening in the east end of the rail-
road yards which nearly resulted in
the loss of his entire left foot. The
young man in the attempt to jump
onto the pilot of moving engine
missed his footing and his left foot
became caught in one of the pilot
wheels, and was crushed across the
ankle. The bones of the foot and the
large bone of the leg were SO badly
crushed that it was feared an amputa-
tion would be necessary, but at this
writing we und derstan< shat t=thesfoot
will be saved. Schwartz. when he
realized his perilous situation, imme-
diately threw himself of the moving
engine and thus. escaped from what
might have resulted in instant death.
He was picked up and removed to the
Frost hospital, where the attending
surgeons dressed his injuries and
where he is now resting comfortably
The injured man is only 81 years OF
age and had been in the service of the
company only a short time. His folks
live in Germany.

WINS U. ! ( c COLD j! |! MEDAL I
lalss oelrtrude iiiIleboe tho Success sful
Sz contlss stsntz .t tie opera Hons : .
::.s5s Slasf Friday Evsning.

The gold medal contest at the opera
house last Friday evening drew .
large audience and proved q decided
success in every way. The contest
ants were Carl J Jacobson, Albert Por-
ter, Bertha Solum, Gertrude Hilleboe
and Victor Knutson.@ All the con-
testants did we'll, and several of them
were so nearly equal that it was q
very difficult matter to decide between
them. The judges were c. H. Sher-
wood, r.. W. Stanford and A o. Fors-
berg. After they had Z. summed up
their averages it was found that Miss
Gertrude Hil1eboe had the highest
average and was therefore entitled to
the medal. Carl Jacobson was given
second hOnors.
For the benefit of those not familiar
with the method Of Judging in these
contests it may be we'll to explain that
the judges do not vote on the matter.
Each judge marks. each contestant on
. scale Of fifty, and when they get
together the markings for each con-
testant are summed up and divided by
three: to get the standard marking.
The one getting the highest marking
in this way gets the medal. It is
possible under this system that one
who is second on the papers of two of
the judges may be marked SO high by
the third judge as to win the prize.
In addition to the contest the mana
gers had provided a musical program
that was unusually good. The pro-
gram consisted of a violin solo by
Prof. N. B. Swain, vocal solos by
Mrs F. L. Cairns, songs by the Bethel
quartet, mandolin trio and a cam
paign song by Mr.. Howe.
