ness to be called. He is still con-
fined tn the hospital from injuries re-
ceived in Wednesdays collision, and
1t was necessary for him to be

switchman on the engine and was
killed in the collision, had opened the

not know, and the book was brought
to the room and read To the jury.
Rule No. 305 states that switching
foremen shall be held responsible for
all switches opened by his crew ex-
cept when switch tender is at the
place.
Murphy said he had been told by
Switch Tender Reynolds that the Sec
ond section of train No. 3 was due in
Missnula at ,: As p. m. and he thought
the crew had ample time To make the
switch and return to the clear In
stead of arriving at 2:45 the train ar
rived at between 2:a5 and 2:50. a few
minutes ahead of time. He thought
the crew had plenty of time To make
the switch.

lision occurred at about 2:2s or $50

FORE-RUNNER A "RApID" TRUCE
First Glidden Entry Reached Cit,
Early This Morning.

From Mondays Daily.
First of the Gliddentes to reach
Mankato was Thomas p. Myers and
party in Rapid motor truck. An
entrant in the tour but not a con-
testant, this car checks in and out
of each control but starts about two
hours in advance of the other tour
lists. 1t is heavily loaded, carrying
four men, several Goodrich tires, com
pressed air tanks, baggage and sun
dry freight, weighing over ton. 1t
is the only commercial motor vehicle
in the contest, and travels at an
average of eighteen miles an hour
Fearing a hard rain this party left
Minneapolis just after midnight, but
found the roads so fine they could not
resist lettering along, with the result
that they did not reach Mankato until
nine O'Clock this morning. This truck
rides well, and the four men are hav-
ing an enjoyable outing. They fol-
lowed the route the Gliddenites drove
and were piloted in from Madison
Lake by Robert Lamm and party.
I'VE have run thousand miles and
the finest roads we found right here
in the vicinity of Mankato," said Mr..
Myers, who is sales manager for the
Rapid Motor Vehicle company of Pom
.
