Bancroft Report Shows Deductions
From Appraisal To Be Made in

There will be lull OF day or more

that he will call meeting OF that

Hutchins or General Manager Brooks,

Briefly. the committee states that,
while the physical property of the ID.

purposes, Is worth $11.121,724 as n

less.

Mr.. Dunn does not profess to
say that the crop is as good as

will be as much grain raised as
the acreage in all three counties
this year is considered larger than
last year.

RAILWAY WRECK IN
WlLLlSTON YARDS
THREE FREIGHT CARS ARE TOTALLY
WRECKED AND ENGINE DAMAGED
NONDAY...NO ONE HURT

Monday afternoon, when No. 2
came in from the west, q small
wreck occurred in the yards here
east of the depot, an engine that
was going out ahead of the incom-
ing passenger to be in position to
take the train on, side swiping q
train of freight cars that we're be-
ing pulled off of the main line, and
and derailing and totally wrecking
two of the freight cars and almost
totally wrecking another. The en-
CINE was also badly damaged and
the passenger was thus delayed
until another engine could be got
ten ready, but no one was hurt.
The engineer of the lone engine
says he Thoughts the call he had
received was for 3:15 when it was
for $3.50 and thus he was little
ahead of time in getting his en-
CINE out and in position and ran
down the track and into the freight
cars before they were entirely out
of the way, the accident happening
where the switch track and the
main track come together.
Two of the cars were derailed
and dumped part way down the
.embankment while only the end of
the other = one was demolished.
Two of the cars were loaded with
railway ties while the other one
was loaded with lumber. The
damage to the engine will of course
be the most expensive to the COM
papy but it only means repair
work, while the cars are
totally gone except the trucks and
some of the other iron work. En-
CINE No. 1929 was the one damaged.
