BECOMES INSANE
ON BOARD TRAIN
Woman Becomes Violent and is
Taken From Train Under
Care of Sheriff B0nde.

Miss Anna Behrns, enroute from
Havre, Mont, to her home at Mill
vile, Minn., was taken from the
east bound flyer Friday morning
violently insane. She was taken to
Sheriff Bonde's residence, and a
physician was obliged to give her
chloroform in order to quiet her.
When she awoke she felt easier, but
she was unable to tell much about
what had happened. From papers
found in her hand bag it was
learned that she had been teaching
school out west for sometime and
that a short time ago she filed on a
claim near Havre, Montana. She
was now on her way to Millville for
a visit with her parents.
A number Of people who were
passengers on the same car said
that Miss Behrns had not acted at
all strange before Friday morning
She had been sleeping quietly until
the train reached Murdoch. Then
she awoke with scream. So vio-
lent did she become that it re.
quired four men to hold her in her
seat. When the train reached here
Sheriff Bonde was notified. and he
at once took charge Of her. The
unfortunate young lady was taken
to her home in Millville by the
sheriff on the afternoon train. Nc
one seems to know the cause of he1
mental deranpement.

stated that he had sold half q Sec

Willmar to look over some of the
land listed by Adams & Benton
with view to buy half a section
of land in this county. Mr.. Adams

talked on "Fruits'' and "Poultry"
was introduced by Mr.. Henry, the
conductor, as "The Little Dutch
man." He was not only ''little
dutchman" but a real funny one
and more than once his humorous
remarks brought laughter and ap-

OLD ENGINEER
MEETS DEATH
Michael E. Conley. For Twenty
Years Pu. ling Trains Thru
Willmar, Is Killed.

The Winnipeg limited OF the
Great Northern left the rails 2a
miles west of Minneapolis Sunday
night and went in the ditch, drag;
ging with it four cars. Michael H.
Conley, the engineer, was killed.
Conley is we'll known here, as fol-
more than 20 years he has been run.
ming into Willmar from St. Paul.
He was the only one killed, and the
small loss Of life is attributed di.
rectly to his bravery. He stuck to
his post and applied the air to the
brakes, hereby holding the rest Of
the train to the tracks. He went
over with the engine and was
buried between the boiler and the
cab side, two feet in the mud al
the bottom of the embankment.
Conley's terrible fate was especial
ly sad, as he was to have been mar.
ried in about a month.
A defective rail, or an unexpect.
ed Iurch of the engine are thought
to have caused the derailment. The
engine. tender and mail coach land
ed at the bottom of 15-foot em.
bankment, the mail coach catching
fire and heirQ entirely consumed
The baggage car, smoker and day
coach directly behind the mail ca,
left the tracks,, but remained on tor
of the embankment. Two Pullman
cars, which brought up the rear o1
the train, were pushed out of range
Of the burning cars by the passen'
gers.

Test Your Seed Corn.

Farmers having old corn should
not fail to test it at once for germ
ination. Many instances are report
ed Of nearly 100 per cent germin-
alton, which is probably better than
most Of the corn raised in 1909 in
states south Of Minnesota will do,
and somewhat better than Minnesota
corn of last year will do, though
very fair results have been obtained
from termination tests made at Uni
versity Farm Of 1909 Minnesota
corn. Good seed corn is sure to be
scarce and every ear that will give
a 80 per cent test or more should be
laid away for seed, whether grown
in 1909 or previous years. The only
safe method is to test now. -

MAIL TRAIN and
ENGINE COLLIDE
Supt. Stewart of Willmar Injured
and Gen. Supt. Gruber of G.
N. Severely Shaken Up.

Running at about Is miles an
hour the east bound Great Northern
Fast Mail Friday afternoon about
4 o'clock ran into a switch engine
near the ''Y'; a short distance west
of town, and after telescoping the
tender and the cab of the switch en-
gine it left the track and toppled
over into the ditch. Superinten-
dent Stewart was the only one in
jured. He was standing on the rear
platform of the special car of Gen.
eral Superintendent Gruber when
the collision occurred, and he was
thrown violently against the side Of
the car, receiving two cuts on the
side Of his head. He was dazed but
rallied in short time, after which
he was taken to his home where he
soon was resting easier. In the
special car with Mr.. Gruber was
Mr.. Emerson, assistant general ST.
perintendent, but they both escaped
with severe shaking up. Conduc-
tor W. H. Netheway, of this city,
who was in charge Of the mail
train, was thrown almost from one
end Of the car to the other, but he
wa not injured in the least.
The crews of both engines saw
that a collision was inevitable, and
they jumped in time. Engineer
Vernon Young of Minneapolis and
| William Brumond of St. Paul were
in charge OF the engine of the Fast
Mail, and engineer Tom Marshall
and Christ Rasmussen Of this city
were on the switch engine. The
main work Of clearing the wreck
was completed by 10 o'clock p. m.
Friday, hut the big engine was not
put on the rails before Monday af-
ternoon. On Sunday afternoon
more than 1000 people visited the
place where the wreck :curred to
see how the big speeder would be
taken out of the ditch. 1t was a
big job, and it took a good lung
time to do it but after several un-
successful attempts the damaged en-
gine was taken to the repair shops
Monday evening. -, .
