cENsURED THE RAILROAD
t'oroner's Jury Censured the Company
for Allowing Two Trains to
Work on Same Track.

At q late hour Monday afternoon
Coroner Dundas secured a Jury of
7. q. Nichols, John Michels and
George Strong to investigate into
The conditions OF the accident which
caused the death of Denny Summers
and Charles Weiland, the engineer
an1 fireman who were killed Monday
morning as che result of a collision In
The yards OF the Chicago, Milwaukee
= st. Paul railway company.
The jurymen we're taken to Broad
bent's undertaking pa1lors where they
viewed the remains of the two men
and then adjourned to the office OF
DR.. Dundas, where the Investigation
was conducted. There we're several
trainmen on the freight that was
coming from Sioux City and they
gave it as their opinion that the
train was moving about E miles an
hour. Julius Plante, the engineer
on the switch engine, said that In
his opinion the train was coming at
the rate Of 20 miles an hour. Mr..
Plante related the incidents as have
been told already. Some of the crew
expressed the opinion that neither
crew were out of position when
occupying tue main track.
From the evidence submitted an d
the conlusions that could be drawn
from the statements, it was evident
that Engineer Sumner and Fireman
Weiland did not see the switch en-
CINE standing on the track, for the
position Of either man did not in
dictate that they had made an effort
to jump from the engine. The sup
position is that with the speed that
tile trainman said the engine was
moving the engineer and fireman
could easily have escaped had they
known Of their darger a minute be-
fore the collision.
The jury brought In the following
verdict after their elaboration on
the evidence submitted:
I'VE, the Jurors In the above case,
agree that the accident was purely
accidental, but that we censure the
railroad company for allowing the
switch crew and an incoming train
working on the same track at the
sane time"
Monday afternoon Tfainmaster
Laurson came up from Sioux City in
his special car and attended the
coroner's inquest, aud looked after
the bodies Of tie dead men.
Tue remains were placed in their
caskets Monday night and Tuesday
on the early passenger they we're
shipped to their destination. That
OF MIR. Sumner was taken TO Sioux
City, where there is a wife aud child
awaiting the sad home coming. The
body OF Charles Weiland was shipped
to belmont 10 the wife. Mr.. Wei
land formerly lived at Yankton, but
just recently he had moved to Del
mont.

Pure Seed Proposition.

Vermillion Republican: We are
glad to know thar the urgent de-
mand for pure and h%igll-grafe seeds
among progressive farmers of the
Dakotas has resulted in the crganiz-
alton OF a farm and garden seed
company, located at Mitchell, for
the purpose of breeding and growing
improved or pedigreeu seeds. We
we're also glad to meet the company's
secretary, Professor w. A. Wheeler,
who was 10 town yesterday in the
interest Of this new enterprise. He
is probably the best man that could
have been engaged for the place, and
the company may deem itself for
tunate in securing his services. He
was for many Years the botanist of
the State Agricultural College. In
company with Prof. Perisho he made
a pleasant call at this office.

the engineers to bring their trains to
ia full stop before going over the
crossing, 400 feet distant. 1t is a
rule of the company that engineers
must have their engines under alb
solute control when entering the yard
limits SO that they can be stopped
within a very short distance.
Engineer Sumner was speeding his
engine along at a pretty fair speed
and it appeared to Floyd Bond that
he was not stacking whatever for the
stopping post. Just as the engine
enters the yard limits the track takes
a broad curve and with the engineer
on the north side of the engine he
does not have a clear view of the
track, and on that account he failed
at this time to discover the presence
of the switch engine on the track,
and it was evident he intended to
run on through.
When the freight engine was bear
ing down on the switch engine, which
was standing still, it is believed that
Engineer Sumner discovered his
danger and attempted to stop his
train, as the engine lever was found
to be reversed, although the air
brake had not been applied.
The impact when the two engines
met was something terrific, according
to the witnesses of the collision, and
1T was heightened by the escaping
steam, and it was fortunate that the
boilers did not explode from the con-
;cussion. The steam pipes snapped
and poured forth volumes of steam
for quite a space of time. The cabs
of both engines were driven over the
boilers and crushed to pieces, and the
trucks under the tender of both en-
gines were driven back against the
rear trucks, while much of the wood
work to the front of the tenders was
|splintered. The front end of the
freight engine was smashed in while
the front end of the switch engine
was hardly broken, except for the
outer rim. Neither engine left the
track when they came together,
strange to say, with the exception of
the forward wheels just behind the
pilot.
Conductor Winsor and his crew,
who were in the caboose, while being
being thrown forward violently and
were piled up in a heap in one end
of the car, were not injured. They
climbed out Immediately and hurried
to the rescue of the engineer and
fireman.
Immediately after the wreck a
large force of men were put to work
to clear the track and the work was
accomplished about q O'Clock Monday
afternoon. 1t was necessary, however,
to send the Sioux City train around
by Canton this morning.
The bodies of the engineer and fire
man will very likely be shipped to
Sioux City and Yankton tomorrow
morning.

A man to be fully equip ped for Legislative honors should have q general know ledge of tine Constitution of his State and be reasonably famil far with the statute law, and their construction by the courts ot last resort. To do this. of course, requires time and study. but it requires both time and study to equip one for any other business, and no man should de sire 10 iguorantlv engage in the peoples most important con- cerns. when he would not under take private matter for him self without first acquainting himself with it's in;rieaeies and conditions
 Every county in the state should make an earnest endeav- or 10 send q man to the Legisla- ture who has the ability to for malatc and draw Bill, and when SO drawn. would meet the exigency of it's object. Legisla- tion Is transacted by delegated authority. but such authority k not delegated by the people 10 their representative to be dele gated by him to some one else to do the work for him.
 In the last legislature, several bills, inartisticallv drawn, were introduced to make laws. which were already the law and had been for almost a generation Gonelusiveiy, such bills prove the unftness of such men for Legislative places, and should admonish others to be more viz liant, Ii they aspire to serve the people.
