The Spokane flyer crashed into a
freight engine and caboose at Drake
Thursday afternoon at 3:45 O'CLOCK,
injuring several people quite badly
and demolishing both engines quite
badly. The wreck occurred during
fierce blizzard and neither engineer
was forewarned. The flyer was run

that there was no loss of lives.
Fireman Gardner and Engineer
Bickhart of the ill fated engine were
seriously injured internally, but will
probably recover. The fireman was
geaning out of the window at the time
of the impact, and believes that this
is all that saved his life.
The engineer was just going thru
the door of the caboose when the
crash came. Three ribs were broken.

Standard Oil Man At Ryder

W. F. Wicks. representing the Stan

s.eral weeks looking over the prospects

he is receiving the best of care.
The passengers were severely shock
ed. One end of the dining car was
crushed in, and the dishes ratified
from every direction. The dining car
conductor, H. Slingsby, was thrown
back against some object and his
head was badly cut at the base of the
skull. One arm was sprained.
Supt. Cole of Minot was at the
scene of the wreck not long after it
happened, and the wreckage was
cleared so that the train was able to
proceed about seven o'clock that ev :
ming. .e
It appears that the wreck can be
blamed to Conductor Barrett who
should have been mare careful in al
lowing his train to stand on the main
track. The conductor was on the steps
of the caboose at the time of the ac-
cident, and suffered injuries.
The terrific shock threw piece Of
coupler knuckle thru the side Of the
depot where it lodged inside on a
truck.
The shock disconnected the engine
of the flyer from the coaches and
carried the smaller engine down the
track about ten rods.
F. J. Whitman and John H. Lewis
from Minot were on the flyer but
were not injured. Father Cleary who
was on his way to MinOt where he
spoke that night, escaped injury.
