Struck 1t Royalton--
Girl Badly Hurt

. In a railroad. accident at Royalton
yesterday, the eldest daughter Of Nels
Larson Of Elm Dale, aged twelve TO
fourteen years, had her collar bone
fractured, her back bruised and it ID
believed was internally injured,
while the other occupants of the
double seated rig driven by Mt. Larson
were more or less cut up about the
head and face as the result OF Passen-
ger Train No. 5 striking 1t at the
crossing opposite the little PARK short
~ before IL 80 p. m. i s.
MIR. Larson, together with his son
and a younger daughter, had gone to
the depot to meet the older girl, who
was returning on the noon train from
the Twin cities, and on her arrival the
four started out for their home. An
attempt was made to cross ahead of
the incoming train, but the horse be-
came frightened and started backing
up before it could be made to 60 ahead
again enough to clear the track. the
engine struck the hind wheel of the
rig, demolishing it and throwing Its
occupants to the ground; The man
went about in dazed condition for
two or three hours after the accident:
1t is thought that all will pull
through, although the exact extent OF
the older girls injuries are not known.
The horse was uninjured.

RURAL CARRIERS RECEIVE RAISE

RURAL CARRIERS RECEIVE RAISE
Postmaster General Hitchcock on
Monday decided to use the entire
"a, 600, 600 extra provided for at the last
session OF Congress to disburse among
the Al, 562 rural mail carriers employed
by the government. giving a raise OF
BOO per year to standard route men,
whose salaries up to this time have
been $500 per year. with proportionate
raise for shorter route carriers. One
of the main considerations which the
post master general says led him to
authorize this extra expenditure over
the $s5, 79Y, 600 annually expended for
the rural mail service was that the
carriers be compensated for any addi-
tional burden which may be placed
upon them through the passage of q
Fparcels post System, which he has re-
commented. -.

PAVING NEARLY COMPL ETED.

AS the result of an examination of
the Broadway bridge by the engineer,
while it was being replanked. it has
been found that the center pier of the
bridge has settled about two inches
and slid over another two inches down
stream. thereby causing a slight crook
in the bridge proper. just what might
have caused this is not known, but the
conjecture is that the logs were re-
sponsibe for same. The engineer states
that there IS nothing to worry over
however as the pier is solidly set.
The laying of the creosote blocks
was completed on the south side

to- traffic that evening. It is expected
