killed and more than forty passengers
were more or less seriously hurt. Some

The train was local and was made
up at Carl Junction, Mo. The engine
and baggage car went into the river
and all of the other cars left the track
and turned over. When the wreck oc.
Cured the train was travelling at a
high rate of speed. Something went
wrong with the engine when a sharp
curve was reached and the engine
darted off the track and down a fifty

To Continue Weekend Special.

The officials of the N. P. and M.

cided to continue the weekend and
International Falls special during
the month of October.
Apparently the train has been a
paying investment and the officials
believe that there is a popular de-
mand for the continuance of the
special. The train is certainly a
great accommodation to the people
living in the vicinity of Bemidji and
it is hoped that the company will
see fit to make the train a permanent
affair.
