THREE ENGINES DERAILED
ON EVE OF BIG WRECK
Grand Mix.up on Great Northern at
Carmon---Bitter Cold
flinders Work.

Crookston Times: Wednesday
night seemed to be an unlucky
night for the Great Northern.
Besides the big wreck which
occurred north of the city there
was small sized wreck in the
Carmon yards which caused no
end of trouble to the switchmen
although no one was hurt.
A freight train which had just
pulled into the yards was run
into by light engine and the
engine left the track. In at
tempting to get this engine back
another engine was put off the
tracks and before this last engine
was safely back on the rails
a third engine was forced off.
It was a bitter night to work and
everything was so wet and
slippery that it was almost i'm
possible to work with the heavy
chains aud other wrecking
apparatus. It was on account of
one Of these engines leaving the
track that Alex Arnold, although
belonging to the Northern
Division was sent out with a
Dakota Division crew and train.

ICE BOAT WRECKED GOING
AT EXPRESS TRAIN SPEED
Crookston Lumber Co. Boys Have an
Exciting SpiII--.Damage Soon
Repaired. 8

John Lucas big ice boat, "The
Skud,' was wrecked" early
yesterday morning during the
high wind, and "Luke," Kimball
Southworth and Hugo Scharf,
who were enjoying sixty-mile
an hour ride, had an experience
which they tell of with a liberal
sprinkling of exclamation points.
The boys had boarded the
craft for a sail across the lake to
their work at the Crookston
Lum ber company Offices, and
we're headed toward the river on
a port tack, when the stays on
the windward side snapped and
the heavy mast and sail fell to
the ice. The mast is set in the
big beam around which the
cockpit is built, and as it fell,
tipped the beam and spilled the
boys out of the pit.
They we're not hurt, as the pit
is only a foot or so above the ice,
but they slid for forty or fifty
feet on their overcoats before the
emergency brakes would work.
A few hours work put the ice
boat in running order again.
