A peculiar accident occurred on
the ore line yesterday afternoon just
this side of the Ely tunnel, when
the dump of an ore car dropped
and fifty tons of ore spilled on the
track. Fortunately the train was
moving very slowly up to the Ely
branch crossing and was able to stop
before ditching either the spilled car
or those following. Had the acci-
dent occurred further up the line
when the train was we'll under head
way, a serious outcome could hardly
have been averted. Responsibility
for the accident has not yet been
fixed but in all probability belongs
with those who loaded the train in
the pit, the superstition being that
the car was not securely fastened,
else the dump aprons would not
have dropped. The muss at the scene
of the accident was cleaned up in
about half an hour by a crew and
the track reopened to traffic, letting
the mine suburban through but a
little behind it's time. 1t managed
to make up the loss, returning to
East Ely on schedule.

Flags Flying From Every Staff i'm the

Chicago, Sept. 16.-For the first
time since he became the nation s

today, and was given a welcome in
keeping with his high station. The

tumultuous cheers at his every ap-
pearance. Crowds filled Michigan
