TRAINS WRECKED
ON TWO ROADS
Old Huron Engineer Seriously
Injured

Daily Huronite Engineer M. Muir
ray of this city, was seriously injur-
ed in a wreck which took place at
Ordway Junction about four o'clock
Sunday morning, Mr. Murray sus-
tanned injuries about the head and
was badly scalded from the hips
down. Firemen F. C. Kirko was
also scalded but not as badly as was
Mr. Murray. Reports coming from
Oakes where Mr. Murray was taken
after the accident stated Sunday
that his chances were very small but
on Monday the report came that his
condition was not as serious as re-
ported and that he had an even
chance for life. The people of HUI
ron were greatly exercised at the
knowledge of this accident and re-
ports are anxiously looked for.
A herd of cattle on the track was
the cause of the accident. The en-
gine thrown off the track when it
struck and the engineer and fireman
were pinned under the cab, under a
jet of steam which scalded them both
severely. The baggage car was also
thrown off the track but no injuries
resulted from this and the rest of
the cars remained on the track.
A wreck occurred on the Milwau-
kee east of Groton Sunday in which
a number of passengers were killed.
No particulars can be ascertained
concerning this wreck but 1t was re-
ported that the train jumped the
track. The village of Clinton, Mimi,
was wrecked by tornado Sunday
and Milwaukee train thrown off
the track. About twenty deaths re-
suited from this.

BRYAN SURE
AT DENVER
Early Dems. Say First Place is
Settled

Denver, Colo, June 28.-That
BRYAN will push the button and the
convention will do the rest is the
impression prevailing among the
delegates who are already on the
ground for democracy's big quad
rennial gathering. True it is that
most of the advance guard are ard
ent Bryan adherents. AS yet no
representative Of the so-called con-
servatlve wing of the party has put
in an appearance. and none is look
ed for before the end of the week.
Nearly every member of the ma
tional committee now here stopped
at Lincoln en- route and held person
al council with Bryan. All bear
evidence of having imbibed mspira-
ton from the broad sweeps of alf-
alfa bearing land which surrounds
Bryan beautiful home at Fair View.
While from the east there are NUT
terings Of storm, and the friends
of candidates who are opposed to
Ethe Bryan control of the party de-
clare they will block his nomination.
there is little here to indicate that
anyone but BRYAN will be in the
running when the delegates actually
assemble in the bic new auditorium.
Every committeeman who talked
with Bryan positively declared that
the commoner has more than the re-
quired two-thirds Of the delegates.
They say that the pledged delegates
alone are far more than a majority
and that. counting the delegates
who come uninstructed, but who
have expressed a preference, there
Is no chance of stopping Bryan's
nomination on the first ballot.
So confident are they that there is
no discussion as to the head of the
ticket. 1t is the second place and
the question of a platform that con-
Germs them.

Picked up an Old Gun

The old veterans and party return
ed from their trip to the Hills Sat-
urday, reporting fine time. While
wandering about the hills near
Wind Cave Thos. Cawood found an
old Colts Navy revolver that had
evidently laid partly buried for many
years. Five chambers were empty
and the hammer drawn back as if to
fire the last cartridge. If this old
gun could talk it could no doubt re-
late a tragedy as it left the hand of
man and fell into the weeds and
grass of many years ago. Mr. Frank
Myers brought the old relic home
with him.

TO TILE FARMS
NEAR MITCHELL
Twenty Inches of Rain Determines
Course

Mitchell. S. d.. June 26. Fifteen
years ago, when the dry season af-
fected South Dakota from one end
to the other, it was not thought the
day would ever come when it would
be necessary to tile the farm lands
of the state. The farmers however,
have come to the realization that
there is too much moisture and short
crops will result from the surplus of
rain in this section of the state at
least.
Since the first day of April the
rainfall has amounted to 1876 inch
es, and from the lack of drainage,
cornfields and wheatfields are cover
ed with water. Not only that, but
many farmers were unable to get in
all the corn. In some instances corn
planters were deserted in the fields
and now are standing in water.
The farmers have turned there
attenSDn to tiling their land, and
many of them will begin work di-
rectly after harvest is over. The
officers of Badger township have
just advertised for bids to construct
ditch over 5000 feet long in that
township to drain off the water that
stands like a lake. 1t will be expen-
sive to the farmers, but they realize
it has to be done.

AT DEADWOOD
After Brief Illness of Only Three
Weeks

Deadwood, S. D., June 27.-Con.

Grover Cleveland dead, is given
credit for courage, good motives and
usefulness, in the tributes Of news

Cleveland alive encountered the en-

GOV. JOHNSON HAD TWO ROUSING
MEETINGS IN KANDIYOHI COUNTY

Gov. John A. johnson, Mime
sota's famous chief executive, came
to Willmar and Atwater in this
county, last Thursday and Friday,
in the canvass he has just begun
for the fall election. The governor
was greeted by an audience which
completely filled the Willmar opera
house to the doors last Thursday
evening. He launched into his
speech, which is substantially given
in another section of this paper,
with an earnestness and eloqnence
that at once impressed all his hear
ers, whether political friends or
toes. He was frequently interrupt
ed by long applause, which proved
that the audience was thoroly in
sympathy with him. His reference
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1908-09-30

to the county option was greeted
with burst Of applause. The op-
position had industriously circulat-
ed the charge that the governor
was opposed to county option and
that he would veto such a bill if
passed by the legislature. The
governor said that no man who was
fit to be governor of Minnesota
would DARE to do such a thing
that in his special message to the
legislature two years ago he had
stated that he would sign such a
bill if the legislature would pass it.
At the conclusion of the address a
large number of people pressed for
ward to meet and shake hands with
the governor.
On Friday morning Gov. johnson
made an address before the Will
mar High school upon the invita-
tion of Supt. Tonning. His talk
there was most inspiring one and
