ELECTRIC LIGHT HISTORY
Milbank people began talking
seriously about electric lights
about two years ago. An ordi-
nance was passed year ago last
summer giving franchise to a
com pany, but that was the last
of it. Last spring the matter
was again revived, MIR. Oscar
Clausln of St. Paul. making a
proposition to The city, to ms call
q plant. The matter was dis.
cussed and City Attorney Bouck
submitted an ordinance. After
some changes were made and
an agreement reached, the ordi-
nance was submitted TO the
council the first week in July,
Mr.. Clausin depositing a sub
stan tial sum in one of the banks
of the city to guarantee his
part of the transaction. The
ordinance received it's first read

Freight train No. SO, east

main track at Twin Brooks, the
engine being about 100 feet east
Of the depot. On the engine No.
1894 were Engineer Heckert and
Fireman Nelson Ware. On en-
gine No. 2047, which had been
sent west With a snow plow and
which run into 80, we're Engineer
Thill and Fireman Tige. This
engine and caboose had orders
to pass SO at Twin Brooks and
were going gat good speed, when
they crashed into the other en-
gine with terrific force. The en-.
gine and tender of each train tel
escoped so it was impossible to
get out of the cab. except over
the tender. The large steel
doors that hold the coal on the
tender gave way, throwing the
coal forward onto the firemen,
aud both had to be shoveled out.
Fortunately no steam pipes burst
thus the saving of q life on each
engine.
Both engines left the track,
but only one freight car was
very badly wrecked Word was
telegraphed to Milbank and an
engine and tool car sent to the
scene Of the accident. Dr.. Fer
guson, the company ply sician,
went up to the wreck ln attend
to the injured men, who we're
later in the afternoon brought to
this city.
Fireman Nelson Ware, of this
city aud Tlge, Of Ortonville, had
to be carried on stretchers.
In speaking of the wreck, one
of the rail way officials, who had
been to the wreck, said that it
was q miracle that there was no
one killed, considering the force
with which the west bound en-
CINE struck the standing en-
gine.
Fireman Tige was taken to
Ortonville yesterday morning,
and the other men went to their
homes at Montevideo, on the
morning passenger.
