HAY RACK RIDE
ENDS IN DEATH
Fast Train Dashes Into Party
of Merrymakers.
SIX BODIES ON ENGINE PILOT
Ono Victim Hurled Over a Barn Fihy
Feet From he Railroad Track
Thirteen ki led, hree
Others VIII Die.

Neenah, Wis, Sept. 24.-Thirteen
persons are dead, three others are
dying and Ave are seriously hurt as
the result of fast train on the Chi
cago and Northwestern Railway,
early Sunday morning, crashing into
a hay rack, on which party OF 81
merrymakers were returning from a
celebration. A big billboard beside
the railway tracks obscured the view
from the locomotive, as well as from
the wagon. Dust and fog were con.
tributory causes to the tragedy.
Nine members of the party escaped
without a scratch. Nobody on the
train suffered except from a
momentary severe jar. The. collision
occurred at $40 A. NJ. at the Com
mercial street crossing here. Train
No. 121, northbound, whirled
through the wagonload of singing
and happy people, who were return
ing from the Peter Hanson farm,
where they had gone to attend the
celebration of wedding anniversary.
All but two, who were Chicago men,
were residents of Menasha.
Armless, legless and headless bodies
covered the right of way, as the
train, nine coaches in length, was
brought to a stop 500 feet from the
scene of the crash. Several OF the
bodies were so badly mutilated that
identification was possible only by
fragments of clothing. Six bodies
we're discovered on the engine pilot
and two other bodies were hurled
through a fagman's shanty with such
force as to overturn the structure

A tiny blue flame was emitting
from the engine and in an instant
the gasoline tank exploded. The
machine was wrecked by the impact
and debris was hurled hundreds OF
feet in all directions, what remained

ing almost to a crisp as they dropped
rapidly TO the earth.
1t was Miller's second fight of the
day and the fifth and last Of the
week. In short fight shortly af-
ter noon his machine acted un-
steadily and he did not care to go
up. The crowd jeered him in the
afternoon when he said he would not
make a flight and in the evening he
went into the air. Let her go, III

Animal Will Be Exhibited At Panams
Exposition At San Francisco

Ely Expositor: At the Panama-Pa-
ciic exposition to be held inSan Francisco
in 1915 probably one of the greatest
sights will be the largest COW in the
world, and she will come from White
Pine County. She wal purchased last
week by Frank Nevin of the Ely Pack
ing Company. and he has announced
his inte~ntion.of feeding her up for that
purpose and expects by that time she
will weigh 5000 pounds. At present she
tips the scales at $500 pounds and has
acquired it all by eating native grasses
and sa~gebrush, as she has never been
Stalled nor had q halter on.
This remarkable cow was raised by
P. Nj. Baker of Snake valley, where
she is being kept. though Mr..
Baker parted with the ownership to
Nevin the other day for the sur Of
s1l0. The COW stands higher than a
man, and her brisket almost touches
the ground. She has a whits face and
a good pair of horns and is in every
way of fine appearance, there be-
ing nothing extraordinary about
her except her immense size. Nevin
declares she is the biggest creature he
aver saw and firmly believes she will
take all kinds of prizes when placed
on exhibition.
