The train was running about fifty
miles an hour and was thirty-hve min
utes late. When sounding the sharp
curve at Black Diamond the whole
train swayed. The engine and smok.
ing car remained on the track. but the
Pullman coaches left the rails and
plunged over a sixty-foot embankment
All attempts TO obtain Information
from railroad officials met with re.
buffs at every hand. and at an early
hour Saturday. while IL was reported
there were fifty-four passengers on the
train when II left Altoona. only forty
were said then TO have been accounted
for. II was believed the missing were
dead In the wreckage In the river. into
which the train plunged over the en-
bsnkment. near the scene Of the
Johnstown hood.
At an early hour Saturday morning
this city was practically besieged by
newspaper men on their way to the
wreck. Trains were few and 70 reach
the scene II was necessary 10 take .
ten-mile journey around the mountains.
From the scene Il was learned by
telephone the train was late and the
engineer was trying TO make up lost
time.
The wreck was caused by what is
termed by railroad men as an unavoad'
able accident. The brake rigging on
the nrst Pullman following the com
bination coach dropped down and tore
up the right rail for 500 yards. The
engine and combination coach did not
leave the rails. but the four Pullmans
following plowed down over the en-
bankment TO the river bank. 100 feet
below. overturning when they reached
the bottom. The eighteenlhcur train
travels at n high rate OF speed coming
down the mountain. When the brake
rigging fell Il either stripped the heads
on the bolts holding the rails TO the
ties or tore up the rails themselves.

Accident Near Wales-While returning
from Hannah to Wales Sunday evening
on hand car the family the of Section
Foreman at Wales had an experience
which might readily have proved fatal.
They miscalculated the distance of a
freight which followed them down. In
attempting as final resort to pull the
caroff the track they succeeded only in
getting it part way. Mrs. Zetman, with
child in her arms, ran few PAGES be-
yond the car. When the pilot struck it
lifted the obstruction and scattered the
fragments. Some of these struck the
woman, cutting deep gash in the head
and breaking a leg. She is still in q
precarious condition. Strange to state
the infant was uninjured. The train
crew backed the train and took the
family into Wales whore attendance was

NOT DROWNED IN LAKE.

Supposed to be Dead is Alive

Brother of Hon. Robt Griffith, at 0snabrock
Supposed to be Dead is Alive
News was received Wednesday last
of the death by drowning of Joseph
Griffith, blacksmith, of Emerado, and
brother of Hon Robert Griffith at Osna-
brock. Mr.. Griffith met death while
crossing the ice of lake of northern
Beltrami county, Minnesota, where he
had gone to do blacksmithing for the
winter months. A letter was received
by Robert Griffith, his brother, of Osna-
brock, and he notified the wife and
children of the deceased at Emerado. A
daughter, Pearl Griffith, was also noti-
fed at the home of j. D. Turner in
Grand Forks. Robert Griffith stated
over the long distance telephone
that the details of the drowning were
very meagre. From letter received he
gathered that the drowning had occurred
last Friday or Saturday. The body was
not recovered The deceased left Eme-
RADIO several days ago to go to the woods
He planned to remain there during the
winter months, as there was but little
work in the blacksmithing line at
Emerado. The deceased was about so
years old and had for years been q. resi-
dent of Emerado. He leaves wife and
six children to mourn his demise.
LATER-After mourning for three
days, the death of husband and father,
the family of Joe Griffith, Of Emerado,
N. D., was overjoyed to learn yesterday
morning that Griffith is alive and we'll
in Beltrami county, Mian. News of the
death of Griffith came in letter to his
brother, Robert, at Osnabrock and his
informant seems to have been mistaken
Griffith himself wrote the letter received
by his wife yesterday. His letter was of
later date than that on which he was
supposed to have lost his life. He had
not been informed of the report that he
had boen drowned in lake and so neg
lected to contradict it. Miss Pearl
Griffith, of Grand Forks, has been mourn
ing the death of her father and she, too,
rejoices when informed that the report
of the tragedy was unfounded. Robert
Griffith, who left here for the wilds of
Beltrami county to make an effort to
locate the body, will also be given joy
full surprise.

KICK FROM WALHALLA.
Complain Made Against the Graft of Book
AGENT Who Visited There

Editor Grand Forks Herald:
Under the guise of religion and works
of charity female book agent struck
Walhalla last Sunday evening, having
previously worked the two Presbyterian
stations of Hyde Park and Bay Center
for all they were worth, and cleaned up
the two churches of Presbyterian and
Methodists at union service in the
evening. This book agent by some
means induced the Methodist congre-
cation to abandon their regular Sabbath
evening services and attend the Presby-
terian church that evening and give
over the services to the book agent, a
Miss Wheeler, who was to give talk on
social purity OF something of that kind.
The evening being fine the church was
crowded and Miss Wheeler led off with
very long prayer followed by talk on
her rescue work away off in Omaha,
Kansas City and other places but event
ually led up to her chief topic of selling
books, and she finally offered books for
sale on Sabbath evening from Presby-
terian pulpit and from that holy place
sold her wares as glibly and earnestly as
from street corner. Ibelieve she poses
as an agent of some Florence Crlttenden
rescue home of distant state, or some
thing or that kind, and I understand
raked in the shekels for trashy literature
both Sunday and M onday. Surely the
wealthy states of Kansas and Nebraska
are able to take care of their own un-
fortunate without an appeal to North
Dakota and the generosity of it's liberal
citizens to help them out in maintaining
Florence Crittenden homes. 1t does
seem to me that our churches are easy
marks for these wanderers who go about
from place to place seeking whose
pockets they may devour. This money
should go to the support of the illpaid
ministers of our home churches. And
then again some discrimination should
be made in the agents and instructors
who may be allowed talk to and advise
our boys and girls. This is too serious
matter to pass by lightly, and mothers
and parents should never delegate to a
stranger what they should do themselves
IN the interests of their children, if they
do SO it seems to me an avowel of their
own incompetency,

THE SHADOW OF DEATH
falls Over the Truax Home In Lanqdon-Death
Of Miss Viola Claire Truax

After brief struggle of but week, and
following a number of severe hemor-
rhages of the lungs, Miss Viola Claire
Truax, the eldest daughter, of John E.
Truax, Of this city, passed quietly and
peacefully away at few minutes before
six o'clock last evening.
1t was not until last Thursday after
noon, less than week previous, that in
dications pointed out that her illness
was of such critical nature that the
the recovery of the patient was in doubt.
On Tuesday she had been down town as
usual assisting her father with the cleri-
cal work in his abstract Office; Wednes-
day she was not feeling at all we'll when
the doctor was summoned, who at once
saw that serious complications might be
looked for. Everything that human
hand and medical skill could do was
done, but without avail.
Miss Truax was about twenty five
years of age at the time of her death.
She was born at LIE Seuer, Mimi, on the
Fourth Of July, 1882, where the family
resided up to the time of removing to
Grand Forks four years later. Langdon
has been the home of the Truax family
since 1887, their eldest daughter the de-
ceased. being mere child of five years.
In childhood, as in later yaars, she was
at all times admired by the people of
our community for her quiet though
companionable and CHEEKY disposition,
displaying to those with whom she was
more intimately acquainted rare quail
ties of heart and mind, which with he1
advance to young womanhood developed
to the fullest possible extent. She was
a member of the first graduating class
in 1903 out of the Langdon high school
and spent the following three years in
completing her education at the state
university, from which institution she
graduated with high honors IN classics
and literature at the commencement
exercises in 1906 Her university life
during the three years spent at Grand
Forks was one that commanded alike
the admiration and respect of her class.

loneliness many sympathetic friends
