The worst disaster that has
occurred Oh the Milwaukee, road
in many years. and one Of the
worst that has ever happened in
thp history Of the road occurred
at Odessa station, some twenty
miles east Of here, last Monday
morning about five 0 clock, when
the second section of No Il, the
Columbian flyer, crashed into
the first section in rear end
collision The first section Ofthe
train in charge of Conductor Oil
lick had stopped at Odessa sta
ton because the signal was out,
but the operator had gone home
and there was no one at the de
pot, and it was while the conduc
tor was looking up the operator
that the crash occurred, although
fagman had been ordered to
the rear of the train to sig gnal the
second section. The second sec
ton of the train consistedof three
cars of silk and two Of fish, billed
for New York. Engineer Oscar
Sorby says that he had clearance
from the junction Switch, and
AS he approached the curve at

for a clear track. and he was
within few rods of the forward
train before he saw it. The en-
gineer and fireman barely had
time to turn on the brakes and

OF the tirst train, but neither of
them were seriously injured. j.
G. Brown, brakeman, was the
only one on the second train who
was badly hurt, he having receiv-
ed some bad cuts on the head
and face
All the killed we're in the rear
sleeper, into which the locomo-
! tive plunged. The force of the
compact caused the dining car
ahead of the sleeper to telescope
the later car, driving it back into
the sleeper about half the length
of the car, thus pushing all of the
berths on the forward end of the
car and those sleeping in them to
the center of car, where the dead
bodies were found mangled and
bleeding.
When the word Of the accident
reached Milbank there also came
a call for physicians, and Drs.
Ferguson and Flett went from
here and the doctors from Orton-
vile to render aid to the injured.
The town hall at Odessa was
made into temporary morgue,
and the dead bodies were later

Caterpillar History.

The catelpillarS which have keen
ftasting on the cotton leaves in
this section of the State hove
been here hefore-that is. their
ancestors have been here. Tn
1894 this writer came from viii
mington with a caterpillar story
which he published in the Char
lotte Observer that the people
thought rather doubtful. If not
altogether a lie. He told of the
train having been stopped near
Lumberton by caterpillars cross-
ing the track. The government
thought the matter worth inyes-
tigating and sent an agent there
who more than confirmed what
the reporter had said. This army
of caterpillars was a quarter of
a mile wide and long enough to
continue crossing the railroad for
eight days. 1t came up from the
direction of Marion county, $. C..
moving from southwest. The
mass of crushed worms made the
rails SO slippery that the engine
drivers would simply spin around.
The old Carolina Central man
agement had TO send a gang of
workmen to the scene to scrape
and sand the rails and this trou-

ton of the army
Some years ago, Just after
the war" Captain Richard A.
Torrance was farming in the Bra.
EOS section, when the caterpillar
made its appearance. The trains
were stopped in similar manner
to the incident related. Cotton
there grows ten and twelve feet
high. The caterpillars attacked
the upper and tenderer parts Of
the plant, stripping the limbs and
tenderer parts of the plant, strip
ping the limbs ana barking the
young bolls' These young bolls,
exposed to the sun, shriveled up
and cracked open. Captain Tor
rance gathered them up by the
wagon load and ran them
through a gin. The hulls fell
where the seed usually falls
there was not seed in any of
the bolls. The result was six
teen bales of cotton of good lint,
for which Captain Terrence got
the same price as for unchanged
cotton.3Charlotte Chronicle.

ONCE POOR LAD IS
WEALTHY farmer

What has been done and can be
done in Umatilla county is exempt
fled by Lars Hansen. the well known
Cold Springs farmer Thirty years
ago he came to this county a poor
Swedish lad just from his native land
and hired out as a farm hand. BY
hard and persevering labor he has
raised himself by successive steps un-
til now he Is numbered among the
largest and most successful wheat
growers in this section Of the state.
He owns and farms nine quarter Sec
tons Of rich grain land and his equip
ment Is among the best in the coun-
ty.
But Larsen Is not only a successful
and money making farmer, but he be-
lieves in keeping abreast of the times.
Unlike many Of the men who have
made their fortune in the wheat lands
OF Umatilla. he has no intention of
selling or renting his acres and mov-
ing to the city, but instead is max
ing his country home y place where
life can be enjoyed with modern con-

house with a wide veranda running
about it which gives it the appearance
of suburban dwelling. Both his

Joined the "innumerable caravan"
Frank Mansfield who has made his
home in this county for the past half
century. died suddenly of heart fall

at the age of II years. He went to
bed feeling as well as usual but about
midnight awoke complaining of pains
in his chest His wife hurriedly dress
ed and called DIR. Sharp, who lived
but a block away, but the aged man
expired shortly after the physician
reached his bedside.
Frank Mansfield came to Oregon
from Illinois in 1852 in company with
his twin brother, Doc Mansfield who
died last year. He settled on ranch
near Athena and for many years till
ed the soil, but several years ago re-
tired from active labor and moved to
Athena, where he owned fine home.
He took a prominent part in the In
dian wars and was a pensioner by
reason of this service. He leaves one
son. Hardy Mansfield, who is engag-
ed in the stock business in the Wal
Iowa country and a widow, and by his
will he leaves all of his estate to these
two.
The deceased man had an extensive
acquaintance throughout this section
of the state and was most highly re-
spected by all who knew him. For
years he was a prominent democratic
warhorse Of the county and was ac-
lively identified with the Christian
church. T..

1t is especially funny when job
Der gets jobbed and this is what hap
pened at a. m. this morning, a time
when few realized that April Fools
day had arrived. The victim Of the
plot was George "Jodo" Strand, as
sistant sheriff. who sleeps close to the
telephone at the court house so as to
be in readiness in the event the peace
and Quietude of Umatilla county
should be disturbed during the hours
of the night. So we'll known is Strand
that it is needless to say he himself is
a jobber of the first degree. There
are many who have fallen victims to
his pranks and they have long been
laying for him. This morning they
took him in and took him strong.
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling,
went the phone in the sheriff's Of
flee early this morning and it reused
the sleeping deputy from his slum-

rushed to the phone and took down
the receiver.
