to the Pioneer. Next Tuesday
will be election day in Cass Lake
and it promises to be the most
interesting and enthusiastic one
in the history of the town.
Ever since the organization of
Section Is, as a townsite, seven
years ago, only residents of that
section were permitted to take
part in these village elections,
while almost one-half the popula.
ton of the town were residents
of the Lydick allotment, better
known as "Section 49," But
some few months ago the threads
which separated these two Sec
tions were cut, and they were
united into one harmonizing COM
munity. The present council,
headed by DR.. G. G. Gilbert,
after one of the most nota bic and
progressive administrations in
the history of the village, will
have no candidate for reelection.

Charles J. Chapman of Duluth
was one of those who rendered
valuable aid in binding up the
wounds of the injured. His con.
duct is praised by the pass
engers.
Passengers who arrived ,.on the
special describe the scene as a
horrible one after the crash. The
unfortunate injured groaned in
pain and in the darkness it was
impossible to do much for them.
Finally lights were brought and
efforts directed to relieving the
unfortunates.

MRS. ALLERTON DIED AT
CASS Lake THIS NOON
Was Mother Of H. I. AIIerton; Aged 81.
-Cass Lake Won Bowling
Game.

Cass Lake, MINI, March g.
Especial to the Pioneer Mrs.
Caroline Allerton, the aged
mother of h. T.. A]lerton of this
place, died here today after a
short illness. Mrs. Allerton was
taken to her bed about week
ago suffering with an attack of
the grip. Her condition contin.
ued to grow more serious until
death came early this morning.
The deceased was "a years old
and dearly beloved friend of all
who knew her. The remains
were taken to Galesburgh, Mich
igan, for interment.
The bowling supremacy be-
tween Cass Lake and Park Rapids
was decided here last night
when the locals defeated their
rivals from the Rapids by a ma
jority of 46 pins in the three
games played.
The Cass Lakers had defeated
Park Rapids here a week ago,
with a lead of ia pins, and in
turn the Park Rapids bowlers
defeated Cass Lake at Park
Rapids last Saturday with I63
pins to the good. It was decided
to determine the superiors by
playing another game at Cass
Lake with the result that Cass
Lake won.

Mr.. Lanager were seated on the
right hand side of the coach,
near the front. Mr.. Lanager
lived only few seconds. He
was dead when taken from the
wreck. Mr.. Andrew lived a few
minutes. He was taken to seat
and an effort made to lessen his
suffering.
After the wreck Conductor
Reed, who was in charge of the
limited, walked to Ojata and sent
a message to Grand Forks tell
ing of the disaster. When he
hurried to send for relief it was
not known that anyone had been
killed, but it was his opinion that
several persons we're severely
injured. A relief train was made
up and with doctors was hurried
to the scene. The train brought
the dead and injured to Grand
Forks, arriving about II o'clock.
The severely injured were taken
at once to the Deaconess hos
pital, where they received treat
ment.
= Many passengers who received
injuries Of a minor nature went
east on train No. 10, which had
been held to await the arrival of
the relief train.
The escape of the railway mail
clerks from death in the wreck
was the most remarkable feature.
The mail car was almost totally
demolished and to those who
viewed the car afterward it
seemed unexplainable that Clerks
Shells and Jennings escaped
With only cuts and bruises.
Shells went on to St. Paul, where
he has relatives. Jennings came
to Grand Forks on the special.
Both were able to he around
without assistance. There was
scarcely a board in the car that
was not splintered and it is be-
lieved that it is beyond repair.
After the crash the lights went
out in the day coach and a fire
caused a little panic. 1t was put
out before there was any damage
