Work Still Going On and the
Road Will Be Winner.
Northern Maine Seaport Not Ret Ready
10 Build to Belfast.

SearspOrt, Me-, March 9.-The resi-
dents of Stockton Springs and Sears
port are now looking forward to the
active resumption of operations at and
around the terminal of the Northern
Maine Seaport Railroad in those towns.
The citizens view the prospect for q
season Of hustle with great satisfac-
ton, for every indication seems to
point to a season of great activity.
There will not be another season like
the last, when hundreds of men were
employing and laying the rails for the
road. but there will be enough going
on this summer to make Stockton
Springs one of the greatest scenes of
activity on the Maine coast.
Although the railroad has been COM
plctCd and open to operation for some
months all the work pertaining to il is
not yet done. y large crew OF Italians
is still at Stockton and the prospect is
that they will be there for long time
tc come. Building construction is be-
ing carried forward and it is not I'M
common to sec the man at work build
ing high fires for the purpose of thaw-
ing the ground so as TO make eXcava-
ton possible. 1t looks odd ut these
times to see crew of % or 30 Italians
at work digging up the earth on which
the burning Goals still remain, while
all round them are big piles of burn
ing waste timber which is drawing out
the frcst so that there will be Oppor-
tunitV for them to work.

phone lines were entered into it and it

back to the car shops. and will soon re-

STARTED in WRONG COURT
PROSECUTING ATTORNEY HAD
NO AUTHORITY TO BRING Ac-
TIoNs IN PROBATE COURT AND
IGNORE INDICTMENT ROUTE,
SAYS JUDGE DUNCAN.

/ Findlay, o., Dec. 24.-The Standard
Oil Co. won victory In the common
pleas court here today, when Judge
w. S. Duncan decided that the probate
court had no jurisdiction in the case
brought against the company In pro-
bate court, and threw out the recent
verdict Of guilty against the company.
Prosecutor David sometime ago filed
an information in the probate court
against the Standard charging it with
violating the antitrust laws of the
state.
He maintained that he could get ac-
ton quicker against the company by
this proceeding than through indict-
ments in the common pleas court.
The Standard attorneys contend that
the probate court had no Jurisdiction
in the matter that 1t there had been
violation of the law the prosecutor
should have proceeded against the
company through indictments.
This point was upheld by Judge Dun-
can and the case is thus thrown out OF
the probate court.
This decision in no way affects the
indictment recently returned in the
common pleas court by the grand jury
against John ID. Rockefeller and other
officials of the Standard oil Co

transferred the happy occupants of
one coach of No. 1o6, the east bound
500 passenger, from Iife's activity to
that bourne from which no traveller
returns.
Many met death in the car, which a
moment later was expected to bring
them to their destination and to
receive the greetings of their loved
ones.
Hurrying in their preparations to
leave the coach at Endcrln, for which
station the engine whistle had already
blown, the victims of the greatest
catastrophe in the state for many
years had no warning Of their inpend-
ing fate.
Death came swiftly, surely.
There was no time for dying prayers.
There were no final suppIications.
just as they were, the unfortunate
travellers were ushered into the pres
ence Of their Maker.
Lips that a moment before were
smiling with pleasure and happiness
scarcely had time to utter last
agonizing shrek when the crash came
that meant most horrible death.
HEARD THE RUMoRs.
All day yesterday Fargoans heard
rumors of the terrible disaster at
EnderIin, but details were meager.
Reports of the number of dead were
variousIy reported from eight to
thirty five. Correct information was
difficult to obtain, and it was not
until late hour last night when the
first real news of the wreck reached
Fargo in a telegram from Enderlin.
ONE FARGoAN,
There wore many excited people in
Fargo who feared friends were on the
train. So far as can be learned the
only Fargo man killed was w. r. Dan
ieison, travelling salesman for the
j. /. Case Co. of this city. Mr.. Daniel
son had Travelled out Of Fargo for two
years and made his home at Sheldon.
Friday, Manager Hanson of the gen
cral offices here decided to transfer
Mr.. Danieison to CasseIton and sent
him there TO arrange for residence
so he could locate at that point as
soon after the first of the year as pos
sbIe.
Mr.. Danieison went from Casselton
to Valley City, via the Northern Pa
ciFic, and took the 500 from that point
to Enderin so he could more quickly
reach his family with whom he in
tended to spend the holidays.
The deceased was we'll known IN
Fargo and especially down the South
western line, whore he travelled most.
He leaves a widow and four children.
He was one Of the most successful
saIesmen ia the employ Of the com
pany.
CAUSE or TiiE ACCIDENT.
There seems to be some confusion
as to the cause OF the accident. ne
first reports that reached Fargo were
to the effect that the passenger train
colIided with switch engine.
The regular night switch crew is
employed at EndsrIin, which il .
division point. The crew, il is said,
was engaged ID making up freight
train to send east. The string Of cars
was too Ions for the sidetrack in the
yards, and the engine, which was at
the west end Of the cars, backed onto
the main line to get more room.
