1t appears that the bonds in question
were issued to pay for the sinking of
an arteslan we'll in the "old dry days"
for irrigation purposes, the work being
done under the provisions of the "Mel
vile irrigation code," which was enact.
ed to help out in the days when the
whole land of Dakota was crying out
for water, instead of the present de.
mand for drainage. The township
kept up the interest on the bonds for
several years, but about three years ago
stopped these payments and now de
slres to prevent any payment on the
principal. Since the town of St
Lawrence has practically been elimin-
ated from the map on account of the

been brought up on old time securities
which were issued by that town or
township in boom days and which the
people who remain at the present time

DEATHS BLACK PAIL.
Thirty One Killed in Wreck of Spec
ial Train.

Santa Barbara, Cal, May "a
While hurrying northward over the
Coast line of the Southern Pacific
Railroad yesterday afternoon home
ward bound. after a week of fraterniz-
ing and fiesta in Los Angeles, AS
Shriners of Isma'ia Temple of Buff
falo and Rajah Temple, of Reading,
with their families and friends, were
hurled into the midst of death, when
their special train, running fifty miles
an hour, struck defective switch at
Honda, a lonely station on the sand
wastes of the Pacific beach, derailing
the train, smashing the coaches into
flinders, killing thirty-one almost in
stantly and injuring more than a
score of others.
The bodies of twenty-five in the
morgue of Santa Barbara this after
noon and ten more at San Luis Obs
po The injured, many of whom are
terribly hurt and will propably die,
are in two sanitariums at San Luis
Obispo.
The wreck occurred exactly at 2:35
o'clock, one hour and forty-hve min
utes after the conclave visitors, form
ing merry party, had spent all the
morning sightseeing in Santa Bar
bara. The statement is made that the
train was making terrific speed
when it struck the defective track
and this is borne out by the fact that
it covered the sixty-one miles OF
curves and crooked track between
her and Honda in exactly one hun
dred minutes.
There was no warning of the inn
pending calamity. The special plung-
ed upon the defective switch and in
an instant the big locomotive, baggage
car, diner and Pullman coupled with
it were hurled together in a huge
heap of wreckage The engine shot
forward on the broken track, tearing
up the rails and ties and twisting the
huge iron spans into fsh-hooks. The
baggage car half buried itself in the
sand on the right side of the loco
motive. 1t was smashed almost to
kindling wood.
The dining car, in which there were
thirty people eating their MONDAY
meal, leaped into the air and was
thrown directly on top of the demol-
ished locomotive. Nearly every per-
son in this coach was instantly killed
scores were scalded by steam escap-
ing from disconnected pipes in the
kitchen of the diner.
The terror and turmoil of the scene
was indescribable. Many of those who
escaped instant death by the first i'm
pact were crushed by the rear coaches
hurled upon the wreckage. Others
pinioned in the debris. were roasted
alive.
