cago Railway Company Car No. Il,
which was wrecked by a Pennsylvania
passenger train on the evening of
Feb. u, 1906. Dowler. the mOtorman.
declares that he received a signal to
go ahead and the conductor, Day, al
Ieges that he never gave the signal.
Nearly every one in South Chicago
who lived here during the year of 1906,
remember the accident. The car was
north bound and when at Ninety third
street and the Pennsylvania tracks. the
car started to cross the tracks. The
Pennsylvania train started at the same
time and crashed into the or, striking
it in the middle three passengers who
were on the car at the time receiving
injuries that caused their death.
The Pennsylvania train was in charge
of Engineer Koran and Conductor Mar
tin. The train crew was exonerateC
from all blame at the coroner's inquest
At the time of the accident a storm wa:
raging. making it impossible to dis
tinguish a light at distern fatrehr thar

Yates has came to South Chicago and
gone again. but he will come BACK

This was announced yesterday from
down town campaign headquarters OF
the aspirant for gubernatorial honors-
While in South Chicago Thursday even
ing the ex-governor was greeted by a
packed tent and it is estimated that
fully $500 people listened TO him speak.
1t is not that Yates does not THINK
he stands good show Of landing the
majority Of votes in this ward, but It is
the fact that he wants to line up more
than he would get If he did not visit
here again So the South Chicagoans
who failed TO hear the famous speaker
will be given another opportunity to
see him in action.
The date for Ex-Governor Yates re
turn has not been set, but will probab-

When the sun came up Sunday morn
ing we were just crossing over the
banks of Lake Erie We passed Lon

I recognized the city as soon as saw
it. having sailed there several times
before and the whole surrounding
country looked very natural to me.

this time we were running parallel
with Lake Ontario When we trav-

passed the Texas entry, which was the
first to leave the grounds at Sixty
seventh street and South Park avenue.
On Lake Ontario we found that the
currents were very treacherous and
had to be watched as the gas would
sometimes condense and we would fall
ar the rate 1000 feet per minute. This
happened three or four times and we
were getting rid of sand fast. We be-

was about 90 degrees above zero. Here

water log up in twelve in pieces which
was made Of very heavy rope stuffed
with cork. We used the pieces as
ballast and the sand bags were filled
with the cork and then sewed up tight
These bags were tied on the outside Of
the basket after which we got ready
