Incidents of the Wreck-Hun-
dreds of people visited the scene of
the wreck east Of the city Tuesrday
and enterprising photographers sold
many dollars worth OF views of the
cars and engines piled up IN such an
unusual manner on the prairie. The
wonder that no lives were lost in
creases on view of the wreck. En-
gineer Fisk's escape from death is
also wonderful. He says that the first
intimation he had Of the accident
was dropping of the big engine to
the ties and then remembers nothing
until he found himself out on the
prailie crawling around and very
cold. The cars are not badly dam
aged. but the engines are in sad
plight and it will take somo time to
get the monsters .righted again and
on wheels. The ties and rails are
broken and twisted and one rail Is
bent 10 nearly a half circle. The
trucks are all forward of the cars to
which they belonged. A few car
lengths further and the train would
have gone over steep embankment
on both sides of the track and many
lives would no doubt have been sacri
feed. Passengers who saw the mar
row escape that the train made can
not fully express their thankfulness
over the luck they had. The railroad
company had Drs. Sifton and Hill
accompany tbJlwest bound passengers
Of the wre 1 train as far as Man.
dan to get ltements Of any injuries
however $ ;;ht. A few only reported
some slight bruises and scratches
showing the remarkable freedom from
injuries in such a wreck. All passen'
gers spoke in the highest terms Of
the considerate treatment by the
company. ~

Grant Mercantile Co. VS.. E. Fl. Mat
tingly tried at the adjourned Janu-
ary term of court and taken under
advisement by the court has been
decided in favor Of Mr.. Mattingly.
This was an action in which the G.
NJ. Co. successors to the Chase Nero.

had been manager Of the G.. NJ. Co.,
had taken money, goods, wares and
merchandise to the amount Of 1897. .0l
In excess of his salary and brought
suit therefor. Mr.. Mattinglv coun-
terclaimed. for the balance claimed

ed a judgment for Sl47.16 and costs.
Fredrus Baldwin represented the
Grant Mercantile Go. and John
Knauf represented Mattingly.
In James River National Bank VS..

an action in which Mr. Weber repre-
senting and claiming to have 1919. II
in the bank on disposit presented his
check therefor and this sum wa
handed ..out to him on Dec. p: 1905.
On balancing the books.of the bank
that evening it was discovered that
the bank was short just $319.7l and
an examination of the account Of Mr..
Weber, showed that some weeks pre-
vious, Mr. Weber had drawn out this
same sum. He was notified and re.
fused to "make sood," whereupon ar
action was. brought alleging the fraut
of defendant. 1t was contended BY
defendant. first: that plaintiff die
mot pay the money a second tim'
land, second: that even if it did pa.
it out a second time, it could not re
cover because it should have made
thoro examination Of the bank book
to ascertain whether the sum hat

shapes into which the heaviest new
steel rails were twisted and bent, and
the completeness with which tie sec
oDd engine was demolished, all in a
few seconds. A rail was lifted and
driven clear through the mail car,
entering one side and coming out the
other. In the tourist car passen-
ger was surprised to see one of the
wheels, still revolving, come up
through the floor at his feet. The
two engines left the track on differ
ent sides and behind them the mail,
baggage, day coaches and tourist cars,
back to the diner, stopped in crook
ed zig-zag, all slanting in different
angles, and while examining the
wreck and going through the cars
many Of the curious sight-seers be-
come so dizzy that they were COM
PEELED to back out.
The names of the tiremen who were
on the engines were A. E. Robideau,
and Paul Ritzkie. Robideau was
somewhat groggy after the wreck.
Both were taken to Brainerd for care
but neither one is believed to be seri-
ously injured. Henry Fisk's foot and
ankle may have to be amputated. His
shoe which was taken from the in
jured foot shows that an iron bar or
spike of some kind was pushed clear
thru the shoe just above the heel.
The big engines were about 80 tons in
weight. Both engineers and firemen
were fortunate in not having time to
jump as in that case the cars follow.
