ACCIDENTS
A Close Call for Some OF
Our Respected Citizens
And Some Others

A party of gentlemen consisting
OF Dr.. Stevens, j. e. Glendy, T.
j. Morris and P. G. Morrison, had
an experience Sunday afternoon
while out for spin in the auto
that they will not care to repeat.
They were just leaving the city
for run to the bridge and were
going at lively speed. When a
block or more west of Main street
they collided with wire which
the owner of a vacant lot had
stretched across the road duriag
the forenoon where the autcs
usually pass.
The wire was not noticed until
they were almost upon il because
of the sun shining on it, making
it almost invisible and the sun be-
ing directly in the faces af the
occupants of the auto. Mr.. Glendy
was the first to see the wire and
quickly warned DR.. Stevens, who
shut off the machine, but they
were already so close upon it that
collision could not be avoided,
though the shock was iessened and
no doubt the lives of the occupants
of the front seat were saved by
the speed of the machine being
somewhat slackened, AS it was,
the wind shield was smashed and
DR.. Stevens received bad cash
in cne knee.

NEW FAST TRAIN
SOON A REALITY
Fine Coaches of Steel for
Through Service

The fine new fast through
train which has been promised
on this line is about to become a
reality, and will probably be
put on now in few days. 1t is
to be one of the fastest as we'll as
one of the best equipped trains in
the service.
Stops will be made only at the
more important points Mobridgo,
Aberdeen, Miles City.
The present running time will
be cut down six hours between
here and Minneapolis.
Only the new steel coaches will
be used In the makeup of these
trains. These cars are built of
steel with a concrete floor, with
heavy steel girders and a steel
backbone which extends entirely
through the car, strengthening the
end as well as the middle portion.
AS one of the Milwaukee traffic
officials said. - the use Of these
cars to put the matter in nut
she'll is 20 do away with the pos
sibility of a repetition of any such
wreck as that on the Grand Trunk
line near Durant in Michigan.
The cars may be struck with an
engine, but they will not split or
telescope. They pile up but not
smash. The steel extending from
eud to end does away with the frail
platform equipment which is SO
easily crushed in the ordinary pull
man. When the cars strike an OBJ
struetion, there is no portion to
give, so, while the shock will be
tremendous, there will be no wreck
age or smashing.
The sleeper and buffet cars are
the latest work in comfort and
durability. The former surpass in
comfort and elegance of appearance
anything seen in the west before
The slsspers contain high wide
berths, the true double herths,
and for easy riding are unexcelled
This is brought about largely by
the weight OF the cars, being
heavier than the ordinary pass
enger.
Both the sleepers and the buffet
cars are light almost white
enamal on the outside, with white
enamal panels. The gold letter
ing of the road on the back ground
touches off the appearance Of the
cars. Officials predict that iii ey
mark the passing of the old sort
! of sleepers and buffet cars.
