block west of the Sixth street crossing

w. w. Sturman of Fargo, saw the
man on the track ahead of the train
and he is said to have given the usual
alarms and kept up continuous
blowing of the whistle, expecting to
see him leave the track and get clear
OF the train. Seeing that the man
was taking no notice whatever Stur-
man applied the brakes and did all
he possibly could to stop his engine
before the man ahead was reached,
but all was futile and the unfortunate
fellow was knocked down and run
over.
After the stopping Of the train the
body OF the man was picked up from

sidewalk on Sixth street. Examina-
tion disclosed frightful wounds about
the head and neck, the right foot was
just above the ankle and

day morning by Special Agent N. A.
Way, who was aboard the train for
the east through the Indian country
after two weeks Of detective work in
Crookston and East Grand Forks, ac-
cording to dispatch from Crookston.
He claims that liquor dealers have
been selling liquor to scores of people
who logged it off in telescopes and
that the dealers should have known
that liquor in such quantities was be-
ing taken to prohibited territory.
Ways statement has caused a SEN
sation here and some action will be
taken at oLce to prevent further ex-
tension of the federal prohibition or
der. Many never believed that agents
had been working here until Way
