st. Paul, was also on the train on his
way to Mankato, to assist the state
in the trial of Mrs. Ledbeter. He was
uniniured.
Captain Rodman was sitting in he
day coach next to the parlor car, and
was shaken up somewhat, as was every
body in the car. He states that the
train was Stacked down to fifteen OF
twenty miles an hour, on approaching
Blakely. because of the curve, and to
stop at the depot. Suddenly the en-
CINE shot off on the switch track and in
an instant there was crash, and the

car, where he was laid temporarily
There were eight mail clerks in the
car, and one other got an injury upon
his leg, so that plaster east was put
upon it. Captain Rodman assisted in tax
ing Mr.. Foote, the passenger engineer
from his cab, where he was so badly
scalded that the flesh peeled from his face
This seemed to be his only injury. The
fireman, who was killed, was pinned in
the cab and could not be removed.
The engineer of the freight engine
jumped and escaped with severe
bruise The fireman of the freight
train was severely hurt, and the con.
ductor and brakeman were also hurt.
The passengers who were not injured
spent the afternoon sitting around the
wreck, waiting for the train to be made
up again. Two hours after the wreck
which happened at 1880 a. M, relief
train arrived from ST. Paul with doc
tors, and the injured and the dead mail
clerk were taken to st. Paul. The st.
James train also arrived from .ne west
with a doctor.
The rails were broken, but none of
the cars left the track, and all were
ableto proceed except the mail car,
which was badly wrecked The train
was steam heated, and as soon as the
steam was cut off fires were started in

Two La Crosse Ladies Promenade the
Grounds of Rockefeller.
La Crosse, Dec. 1.-Two La Crosse
ladies, the Misses Sophia and Irma
Bergler, have had the pleasure of see
i ing j. d. Rockefeller, the oil magnate
on the golf links on his estate at
Hartsdale, n. Y, and the La Crosse
papers publish long accounts of the
event. The young ladies entered the
Rockefeller estate and had walked
about twenty minutes before they came
upon Mr.. Rockefeller and several 9TH
ers on the COLTS links. With a wave
of the hand Mr. Rockefeller invited
the astonished girls to come forward.
Ladies, we would be delighted to
have you watch our game of golf" he
called out, but until gardener near
Iby nodded and exclaimed at their
hesitation, ''He means it." they thought
his words a gentle hint to 90 away
As the girls approached the party Mr.
Rockefeller exclaimed:

The young women followed one OF
them presently remarking upon the
beauty of the grounds.
Eyes, they are pretty" replied Mr.
Rockefeller. 'Pve only been here five
days. Father Lannon tells me they
were far more beautyfuli in September
Mr.. Rockefeller stopped to swing
with all his strength at golf ball, and
then continued as the young women
Iheld back somewhat embarrassed
I"Won't you come aound with us? II
lis pleasanter on this side of the links
We are very grateful for the sun here

The sight of the uncovered heads Of
the girls caused him a moment later
to inquire: ''You didn't come up from
the city, did your"
The young women explained that
they were merely out for tramp, and
one of them added: 'sWe were told
thai. we wouldn't get far in your
grounds"
Mr.. Rockefeller and the rest of his
party laughed heartily at this, and
when the girls said that instead of fol
lowing the game they would take q
walk he suggested that they try But

That's fine walk You couldn't

teams which won the week before
again carried off the big end of the
score. The first game, played by the

were going to give the fast CONNER

the latter crawled up, then ahead and
held the lead at the end of time.
The high school boys seemed to

her injuries were.
Farmers came to Blakeiy from miles
around to see the wreck, and crowded
around the train in dense jam. A
car full of wheat on the freight was
crushed to pieces but no other freight
cars damaged much
| The mail matter carried on the
wrecked train arrived in Mankato early
this forenoon and was not damaged
in any way, SO far as noticeable except
two tie sacks of papers. The Christmas
packages seemed unbroken and the mail
bags were all intact The papers in
the two tie sacks were torn. The mail
was fully well made up when the ac-
icident occurred, and the registered
mail was out of the way.
Engine Was Telescoped.
The passenger engine telescoped the
freight engine and the tender of the
passenger train was driven through the
mail car and pinned Clerk Torgenson
! TO the ceiling in such manner that
he was killed outright.
The baggage, express and mail cars
were derailed and the first few cars
! of the freight train were also derailed.
The mail car is complete wreck
nothing is left but splinters. Both
locomotives were badly damaged-the
passenger probably fit only for the
scrap heap.
The passenger train was running at
the rate of forty miles an hour at
the time Engineer Foote saw the open
switch, but he applied the emergency
break and the speed was slackened
some. The train ran distance of
three or four hundred feet after it
struck the open switch.
Benjamin Smith a Passenger.
Attorney Benjamin d. Smith of
Mankato was one of the passengers
on the wrecked train He had been
sitting in the reading and smoking
compartment of the cafe car, but step
ped into the chair car just few
moments before the collision occurred.
He was whirled around in the big
chair as if he were a top. He sus-
tanned no injuries. Mr. Smith was
one of the first to leave the train and
walk toward the head end. He OBJ
served Engineer Foote crawling out
from underneath the wreckage. Con-
ductor Harrington of the passenger
saw Foote as ne emerged from the
other side of the train from under the
baggage car, and remarked: 'My
Col. Bill, where did you come from %
Engineer Foote was in no condition
to talk. Mr.. Smith states that Con-
lductor Harrington exercised great
presence of mind under the distressing
circumstances and handled himself
wei.
From what Mr., Smith could learn of
the accident, Brakeman Herman was
standing near the turned switch Just
before the passenger struck the sid
ing. The brakeman disappeared, and
did not return to the scene of the
wreck.
Walters Were Hurt.
Two of the walters in the dining
car were injured slightly, and the
cook was thrown onto the range. He
sustained fractured arm
One of the women passengers was
badly frightened. She remarked to
several of her travelling companions
that she suffered with a Special"
heart disease and was returning from
st. Paul where she had been consult
ing a specialist. She afterward re-
covered from her fright.
