MAN CRUSHED
BETWEEN CARS
Caught While Coupling Cars for
His First Run

Going on the same train upon
which the young man vas to take
his first run as brakeman, the body
of Ernest Miller was taken today
over the Great Northern to the home
of his parents at Eau Claire, Wis,
death having come upon him in
~stantly Tuesday night at 1918 O'Clock
in an accident at the Great Northern
round house. Last evening the
young man went to the round house
with his wife to receive instructions
for making his first run out of the
city as a passenger brakeman. This
morning the sorrOwing wife left the
city at 6:l5 o'clock, accompanying
the remains to Eau Claire, the for
mer home of the two.
Mr. Miller was killed between two
passenger coaches as they were
pushed together, the BODY being
crushed, and death following the
accident almost at nee. The man.
ner IN which the young mar was
caught between the cars is not
known owing to the fact that only a
few men were IN the house. Mrs
Miller was present and witnessed
the sad tragedy.
The round house men summoned
medical aid Immediately after the
accident. but life had been crushed
out by the impact and with the neck
and left arm broken, the right
shoulder ~dislocated, and half the
ribs on the right side of the body
broken, life passed away. Coroner
Walsh was summoned soon after the
death, and he took charge Of the
case, the parents at Eau Claire be-
ing notified, and the young wife be-
ing assisted in preparing TO leave
this morning with the body.
Mr. and Mrs Miller came to Huron
recently from Minneapolis, and had
engaged rooms in the Costain block.
They had been married for about
two months and had come to make
their home in the city. Mr. Miller
had worked formerly for the Great
Northern but was inexperienced In
the work of braking. He was to
take the run held by Brakeman
O'Toole under Conductor Doyle be-
tween Watertown and Huron. He
was about II years of age.
The accident and sudden death
are indeed of a sad nature, and sure
" innumerable expressions of COM
passion are extended from those of
the city to the wife who is compelled
to return to her former home under
the circumstances.

TO FLY ACROSS
THE ATLANTIC
Walter WeIlman Starts Flight
With Crew of Six

Atlantic City, N. j., Oct. 15.-
After years of planning, much dis
cussion, many postponements and a
great deal of criticism, Walter Well
man, the well-known journalist, to-
day sailed for Europe IN his big
dirigible ballon, starting on the
voyage of 5000 miles through the air
in a dense fog.
Only a few people were on hand
when the start was made, and Well
man did not announce whether it
was to be a trial flight OF the real
thing until he was up in the air, but.
when a strong wind swept the ballon'
out to sea, he gave the word for the
start.
The ballon carries Wellman Mel
Vim Vaniman, his chief ENGINEER, and
a crew of six men, including a wire
less telegraph operator
All members of the Wellman party
are dressed in khaKi aviation cos
tunes. Two hundred spectators
carried the equiliperator, containing
c, 1000 gallons of gasoline. to the in
let, where it was dropped into the
sea and afterward attached to the
ballon.
At l1:05 the first dispatch from
the Wellman balloon was received
here. 1t SAID: Headed northeast;
all well on board; machinery work
ing fine. Goodbye" and was signed
by j. Irwin, the. the wireless opera
tor.
Wellman wanted to wake the trip
a trial flight. but Vaniman insisted
that the trip to Europe be made,
and Weilman consented.
At Up. M, wireless from Well
man said the ballon was still going
to sea. No observation had been
taken and the distance traversed was
not known by those on board the
ballon.
New York, Oct. 15.-The New
York Times has received a wireless
message from Walter Wellman say
ing his machinery is working fine,
but that he had'stopped the propel-
lers in order to work the wireless.
Another message saying goodbye
was received by Mrs Wellman.
New York, Oct. l9-Walter Well
man and his companions were land
ed here this afternoon by the steam
ship Trent which picked them up at
sea after they had abandoned their
dirigible ballon America, and failed
in the first attempt to o the
Atlantic through the air.
A bruised right hand which Well
man carried in a sling was the only
physical injury that resulted from
their long voyage Of approximately
900 miles, and a rescue the like of
which is unknown to all history.

PARTY RECORD
IN SOUTH OAK.
What the Republican Party Has
Accomplished far the Plain
People of the State

Republican Press Bureau-While
the democratic party of South Da-
kota has been expending its energy
in viewing with alarm" and de
ploring" this and that, the republic
an party, which at all times keeps
abreast of the times, has been Sc
curing practical results for the great
body of common people.
The republican party of South
Dakota keeps its platform pledges,
as is shown by what has been ac.
complished in the way of reform
legislation during the past four or
five years. The reform legislation
enacted during that period by the
republican party of South Dakota is
as follows:
An anti-pasS law.
An anti-lobby law.
A 2-cent rate law.
A law to reduce express and
freight rates.
A reciprocal demurrage law.
A law requiring railroads to pay
taxes on terminals.
A law requiring standard forms
of assurances policies.
A primary election law.
A law prohibiting the corrupting
Of voters.
A law prohibiting railroads and
other corporations from contribut-
ing to campaign funds.
A law requiring railroads to make
track connections at junction points.
A law requiring the ascertalning
of the physical valuation of the rail-
roads of the state as a basis for
making freight and passenger rates.
A law placing the burden of proof
on railroads in actions based on
orders of the state board of railroad
commissioners.
An anti-Giscrimination law.
An ANTITRUST law.
A law requiring the state treas
urer to turn interest on state funds
INTO the state treasury. During the
years 1909 and 1910 this will result
in a saving of fully $780, 600 to the
taxpayers of the state.
A rigid, divorce law.
The strongest banking law in the
United States.
A law providing for the commits
sion system of municipal govern
ment.
A pure food law,
A fire protection law.
A law to establish juvenile courts.
A railway liability law.
A law cutting down Legislative
ehpeISeS.
A law regulating cypress COM
panies.
In addition to the above, the re-
publican party Of the state favors
additional reforms, and these will
be enacted in law at the earliest
opportunity.
Standing as il does for the best
interests of the plain people. the re.
publican party Of South Dakt Ia is
entitled to the support of every
voter who believes that laws should
be enacted in the interest of the
great body Of common people and
not for the special interests.
