Passengers Transferred.

When the train had been stopped
and survey made of the wreck it was
at once apparent that the twin city
express could not proceed further.
The Dakota and Minnesota passenger
was soon due and it was decided to
transfer the through travellers to the
local train. An extra coach was found
in the yards and the superintendent's
car was also pressed into service for
the accommodation of the stranded pas
sengers. These coaches were added to
train number SIC at the station when
the latter arrived and the train OF nine
coaches afforded ample accommodate
tion to the waiting travellers who were
picked up and whose baggage was
transferred at the point where the ac-
cident happened.
The engine of the wrecked train es.
capped injury, was uncOupled and pro-
ceeded to Devils Lake and from there
the train went as a double header. AT
Madison a train was made up and in
waiting to receive the local passengers,
train number SIG proceeding as the eX-
press. Between Baraboo and Devils
Lake the train took the right hand
track, switching to the left at the
lake.
The fact that no one on the train w as
seriously injured was remarkable as
we'll as fortunate. When the pas
sengers were transferred, one sleepy
drunk in the smoker preferred to re-
main where he was, but finally de-
cided to go on. Some difficulty was
also experienced in taking an old and
infirm man from one coach to another
In addition to the damage sustained
by the coaches, the ties were splinter
ed by the derailed trucks as they
dragged along and the road bed dug
an somewhat. The SWITCH engine suf.
fered a smashed cylinder head and
other damage necessitating its remov
al to the shops for repairs.
Michael Monroe was the engineer in
charge of the switch engine and G.
Slagle was at the throttle of the loco
motive which was pulling the pas
senger train.

From Thursdays Daily

The twin city express which leaves
Baraboo at 4:10 was wrecked yester'
day afternoon by the switch engine as
it reached the yard limits on the out
skirts of the city. The passenger train
was going at the rate of about II or Is
miles an hour when the switch engine
on an adjoining track jumped the rails
and one side of the coaches in the eX-
press was raked the full length of the
train. as each car in turn crashed
against the engine.
The cars to suffer most were the
diner and baggage car, the trucks of
the latter were thrown crOsswise
athwart the rails and the heavy gas
storage tank on the dining Car was
knocked completely off. Many of the
trucks throughout the length of the
train were SO badly damaged that not
coach was in shape to proceed. Prac-
tically every oil box on one side of the
train was demolished and a deep in
DENTON showed along the coaches
where the engine scraped them. The
steps were battered and much of the
underworld of the cars injured, several
brake beams and timbers being
splinteIed.

SEN. FA|RCH|LD
SPEAKS At GEM
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR
GOVERNOR ADDRESSES CROWD
OF CITIZENS.
(rrom Thursdays Dany.)

| Hon. Frank Avery introduced Sen.
Edward T. Fairchild, Republican cam
| didate for governor, when he spoke at
the Gem last evening.
The senator said that if nominated
he would endorse the national admins
tration of Taft and the state admins
tration of Davidson. The people had
already publically endorsed the work
of the republican party and he believed
that they were satisfied with the gov
eminent of the last two years. 1t is
cowardice for Republicans to nominate
men who do not endorse what has
been done.
He said that he was sometimes ask
ed if he was progressive. If that
meant to avow love of your fellowmen
and yet hate half of them, he was not
progressive. If it meant to seek out
evils and try to wipe them out, he was
progressive. He invited, the people
to examine his record as state senator,
as assistant district attorney of Mil
waukee county and as neighbor and
citizen.
He said that he was interested in in
dustrial insurance and hoped that
something to that effect would be in
the next Republican platform. The
old theory was that if man did not
wish to incur the risk, he could find
work elsewhere, but the necessity for
work drove men to the factories and
statistics show many destitute families
resulting from the crippling of the head
of the household without compensa-
ton.
AS to the tariff, that Will remain the
issue while men remain who want the
old fashioned theory of protection.
While the recent tariff bill was being
considered, records show that 5000, 900
men were walking the streets in quest
of work. When the bill was finally
signed, they quickly found employ
ment.
Sen. FaifchiId closed by asking the
support of the BaTaboo voters in the
primaries, Sept. g..
3. j. CasseI Speaks.
Senator Fairchild was followed by
3. J. Cassel, the veteran speaker. Mr..
Cassel said that there was a prevailing
idea that railroad reform was first dis
covered in Wisconsin ten years ago but
that in truth reform began in 1874
with laws curtaillng the rights of rail
roads. The bills were fought to the
supreme court and the corporations
lost. Then they refused to build more
roads until the laws were repealed and
repeal followed until the time when
Wisconsin would have a larger mile
age of railroads. Later a fight was
taken up prohibiting the roads giving
one city or person an advantage over
another. Among the pioneers of this
fight were A. r. Hill and James 0.
Davidson, yet their names are never
mentioned in connection with the
bills. The reforms could not have
been accomplished by one man but
required majority of the legislature
and the governors consent. Yet there
are men today, who, while it was be-
ing thrashed out from 1890 to 1900
never opened their head, now claim
the honor of the reform.
Mr.. Cassel closed by asking the
voters to put in men who would not
close the factories, who had had 'ex-
periepce in the business world before
they tried to legislate for it, and not to
chase butterflies, no matter how elo-
quent they might be, for they might

Steel Cars Afford Protection.

The fact that the train was made up
of steel coaches probably accounts for
the fact that greater damage did not
result. When the crash came and as
car after car received the shock, the
passengers became frightened, but
were calmed when it was apparent
that the occupants of the coaches were
uninjured. When the diner was
struck and the gas tank broken off a
blaze burst forth which was eX-
tinguished before more serious damage
resulted. The construction of the car
undoubtedly prevented its catching
fire. Had the blaze gained headway
and if the train were composed of
wooden coaches as formerly, a hOl0-
caust might have resulted. Steel cars
have added much to the safety of
travel.
