BAD COLLISION ON
THE LAK0TA
BRANCH
Special and Snow Plow Mixed
Up Near Nelson County
Metropolis.
CABOOSE DEMOLISHED

tiles Though Many Were
on the Train.
CAB0oSE DEMOLISHED

The Great Northern had another
very lucky wreck yesterday at 1880
a. m. near 11akota when a special with
Russell snow pillow and two coaches
containing a crew of forty-five men,
smashed into the rear of a freight
train that had been backed up the
branch.
The special was rounding a sharp
curve at high rate of speed. and was
almost on top of the freight before the
danger was discovered. The train
crew on the freight caboose saw the
impending danger and jumped, this
accounting for the absence of fatali-
ties.
The caboose was totally demolished,
the Russell pillow completely telescop-
ing it and running half way into a
car of wheat ahead. The wheat car
was also ruined.
Conductor James z. Stansbury was
in charge of the special, and to an
Evening Times reporter this morn
ing. stated that it was very bad COL
lision. He had list OF nearly forty
five shovelers beside a number of
travelling men on board and though
all were badly shaken up and several
painfully bruised, no serious injuries
were reported. When the shock came,
the passengers We're tossed around
and thrown against the seats.
Conductor Stansbury is in Grand
Forks today for the purpose of attend
ing the Elks festivities and the o. r.
c. meeting tomorrow. The Russell
snow pillow was ruined completely in
the collision.

UNCLAIMED FREIGHT WAS KNOCKED OFF

At o'clock this afternoon was be-
gun the big sale of Great Northern
unclaimed freight shipments. The
auction was held at the Houghton I'M
plement warehouses; and attracted a
large class of buyers from every sta
ton OF life There was the doctor
looking for a snap in the surgical in
strument line; there was the dairyman
after a bale or two Of hay: the farmer
with his eye peeled for gold bricks
and farm machinery and the old maid
on the lookout for an extra set of false
teeth.
The sale of unclaimed freight which
piles up the freight sheds is held
about once a year, and there is always
enough freight on hand to stock sew
eral general stores. Col. John Gaunt

After Third Bnseman.
McGraw has several youngsters who
have played third base, and Hannihn can
also be taken into consideration for that
position. There is more in that player
than has yet been brought out, and the
confidence he would gain by having a
regular sit would bring it out. There is,
Of course. a possibility, a strong one, in
fact, that an experienced third baseman
may be purchased or traded for, because
there VIII be several Giants. Of still some
worth, who are TO get their walking pa
pers, and they will be in more or less de-
mand for trades.
For second base, Doyle appears now 10
be the most prominent candidate. But
although he started off most brilliantly
and promising and led the league in bat
ting for nearly q month, he fell off to-
ward the end of the season. Doyle is
hardly a quick enough thinker for cham
piOnship CaIiber, and does not appear to
carry the head on his shoulders that will
suit the eXacting McGraw.
Danny Shay, II he was a better batter,
would make an ideal guardian of the
midway station, for he is lightning fast
in both mind and action, and knows every
point Of the game.
Merkle. without doubt, will play first
base. McGTaw is stuck" on his new first
baseman, and that, of course, settles that
proposition.
For the outfield Shannon, Donlin, and
Seymour will. without much doubt, start
off in left. center. and right, respectively.
The pitchers sure to be retained are
Mathewson, Wiltse, Ames, and Taylor
and that is quite a nucleus.

fact that Johnson put the American

true that Johnson has run the American
League almost as he pleased. This is
particularly true where deals for play

taken it upon himself to dictate where
certain players should go. In the days
when the war was being wRged bitterly
and relentlessly the club owners stood
for this, but now that peace reigns

JOSS BOOSTS ROSSMAN.
Pitcher Says First Baseman Is Com
ing Faster Than Any other Man.

Addie joss is the latest to come through
with a boost for his old club mate. Claude
ROssman. In his Toledo paper Addie
says:
"Rossman's hitting and general all
around good play during the worlds Sc
ries shows how much that young man has
improved in the last year. He made more
hits than any other player and his hits
as a rule were of the line-drive variety.
His star performance was against Pfeis-
ter in the second game at Chicago, when
out OF four trips TO the plate he hit safely
every time, though a technicaIIty robbed
him Of one single.
Ross failed to hit safe in the first
game. so he practically made ten hits in
four games, which IS certainly going
some. His fielding was superb. He slipped
up on but one chance and that the last
game OF the series. when he failed TO
handle a low throw from Coughlln. Some
Of his chances were of difficult nature.

lesson last year, when he had his team
picked for the Penn game, only to be OBJ
liged to change the lineup a week before
the contest, on account of the unfor-
| tunate accident to Capt. Curtis, a man
who had never taken out time in his foot

commander-in-chief has developed a sub
stitute for every position. and his numer-
Gus shifts have been made with the idea
| of meeting any possible contingency.
This week he has set terrific pace for
| the squad, and no professor in the univer-
sity is more exacting in his quizzes than
is Yost on the Interpretation Of the foot
! ball rules. With Wasmund and Miller for
quarters. Magoffin and Lehr and Douglass
and Sullivan and AlIerdice for halves, and
Loell and Allerdice for full back. there
