INJURED IN WRECK
Loren Roberts Has Ankle
Sprained And Is Shook
Up Quite Badly

Crookston, Mimi, July 2O.-A
terrific storm Monday evening in
Eastern Polk and Norman counties
demoralized railroad traffic on the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific and
500 Line and caused two bad wrecks
and the loss Of two lives.
Owing to the terrific downpour,
Northern Pacific northbound freight,
No. 153, the fast st. Paul. Winnipeg
freight, crashed into the rear of a
work train at Melvin, killing Charles
Hockenson, who was IN the caboose,
and Fireman Hogan, whose body is
pinned under carload of lumber.
Five fat cars loaded were splintered,
together with the work train caboose,
and six cars of merchandise also were
spllntered, including one car of
matches consigned to Crookston.
Owing to the terrific downpour of ram
the matches did not ignite
The brakeman was sent back from
the work train, but the darkness and
rain made his signal unlntelliglble.
Andrew Bergstrom, section fore.
man, had crew of twelve men in
the caboose. He was standing IN the
rear door and heard the approaching
train and shouted to the men to Jump
Most of them leaped from the cupoIa
of the caboose, Hockenson being the
only man who did not have time to
get out
The storm also washed out the 500
tracks and 500 trains today are run
ming over the Great Northern tracks
from Detroit to Erskine
The storm also caused a washout
just beyond Fosston, and No. SO, the
Great Northern passenger to Duluth,
ran into washout at midnight last
night and the whole train went into
the ditch. Two cars, a baggage and
express car, were burned, but no one
was killed and the injuries sustained
were not serious, consisting of
scratches and bruises. The washout is
so bad that no train will reach here
from Duluth before late tonight.
The storm was very severe, accom-
panied by electricity. The city hall
at Ersk1ne was struck, but the fire
department saved the building with
but small damage. Lightning here
killed two cows and the wind
damaged shade trees. The rain here
was not very heavy.
Conductor Wilson of the Northern
Pacific freight is in the hospital here
with bad scalp wound and injuries to
his back.

Crosses Continental Divide.

Pueblo, Col, Sept. 20. President
Taft last night crossed the continental
divide and this morning found himself
west of the Rocky mountains. All day
the president had travelled with the
panorama of white capped peaks of
the Rockies in view, at one time the
train ran for mile or more through
fields Of snow. Last night at Tonnes
see Pass the climb to the top OF the
divide carried the president to an alti-
tude of 1920 feet
For the first time the president trav-
eled through the Grand Canon Of the
Arkansas, where at one place the one
mile deep canyon Is so narrow that
there is not room for the track and
the river and the former has to be car
ried over the rushing waters by means
Of hanging bridge, suspended by
cables embedded in the rocky walls OF
the chasm. The eleven mile ride
through the canyon was made by
moonlight.
The president did not feel the attn
tude and at the end of his first week
Of zone night stands he is in splendid
health, despite the efforts of the hos
pitable west and its elaborate and new
er-ending breakfasts. luncheons and
dinners.
The president is being enthusiastical-
ly received at all stops.
