William Porter's Death.

Messas H. Garnett, A. Bell, and Fred
Weiss of st Thomas and Crystal were in
the city on Wednesday. They were on
business connected with the estate Of
the late William Porter. Mr.. Garnett
states that the coronor's jury found that
1T was case of accident, though there
had been ru.nors of suicide, 1t was evi.
dent that Mr.. Porter had gone through
the rotten covering of an old we'll, in
which there was about ten feet of water,
but was not very far from the surface.
He would probably have been able to
get out himself, if he had not been over
come by the foul gas which was SO bad
that it twice extinguished a lowered
lantern when his friends were searching
for him. AS he was still living when
taken from the we'll it is thought that he
could not have been there but short
time. He died about half an hour after
wards. He was one of the wealthiest
farmers of the county, owning seven
teen quarter sections, and the finest
farm buildings we know Of. He COM
menced farming with a yoke of oxen
which he bought on time, and which he
started to return because he could not
pay for them. but being assisted by a
neighbor with loan, kept on until he
made himself independent.

particularly at the day sessions the
Adult Bible Glass, The Home Depart
ment, The Teacher Training Glass; and
the Boy Scouts were of interest. All
were we'll handled by the speakers and
quite freely discussed. Emphasis was
laid on the Boy Scout movement as a
force which must be kept in line with
the Sunday school if it is to do the most
good possible.
OF the forty-two schools in the county
thirty seven were ready with reports of
their work, and all showed commend
able advance. 1t was expected that the
state banner would be held by the
school showing the best report on the
points for which the county won it, but
it was discovered that three schools were
tied for first place in that contest, and
no award of the banner was made. The
Pembina Methodist, the Bathgate Pres
byterian and the Drayton Methodist
schools We're the ones who stood highest
in rank. No satisfactory means could
be. found for deciding between these,
and plans are being formulated which
would prevent such condition in the
future.
The next convention will be held at
Drayton. Plans are also under way for
monster convention to celebrate the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the county
association two years hence. The place
is to be decided next year.

District Court.

Court convened on Tuesday. Not
much was done the first day except to
call over the calendar and hear motions.
Wednesday morning the jury were
| called and about all were present
Six cases had been set for trial on that
day, but when the cases we're called, it
was found that nearly all had been set
tied and the balance continued, which
left nothing for the jury to do. They
were therefore excused until Thursday
morning at nine o'clock. Two cases had
been set one for Thursday and one for
Friday and these appear to be about all
the civil basiness for the term.
Thursday morning the case of Hoff VS.
Cline was called and Attorneys Laxdal
and Geo. A. Bangs for the plaintiff and
L. ID. Stack and G.. A. NJ. Spencer for
defendant. 1t is suit for breach of
contract in the renting of land and
threshing of crop near Walhalla. It
was not completed when we went to
press. Another civil case is set for to.
day.
The criminal business of the session
does not appear to require much time
of the court. DR.. Young of Hamilton
has been arraigned on charge of sell
ling liquor and plead not guilty and his
case will probably be heard on Saturday.
The case of Geo. w. Ion, elevator agent
of Drayton, charged with embezzlement
may not be tried as it is understood at
this time that the defendant is likely to
plead guilty.
At this writing it looks as if conrt
would adjourn sine die on Saturday
evening.

C.. M. Barker Killed.

Friday morning about ten o'clock Mr..
G. M. Barker, a farmer living raile and
half out of town, was coming to the
city on the track of the Northern Pacific
and was overtaken by north bound
freight train and was knocked from the
track. Several persons were near by
and when picked up near the rear of the
train which had been stopped, he was
/ unconscious. DR.. Harris was summoned
Immediately, but on examination both
legs were found to be broken and other
injuries were apparent. He never re-
covered consciousness and passed away
about two and half hours after the
accident occurred.
! Mr.. Barker was quite deaf, and
though the engineer had whistled and
tried his best to make him hear, he did
not apparently know the train was com.
ing behind him. Besides this, the south
bound passenger was about ready to de.
part from the depot and Mr.. Barker was
probably thinking about it and looking
in front Of him for train, forgetting
that one might be back of him. Nc
blame is attached to the engineer for the
accident.
Brief funeral services were held at the
residence Of his daughter, Mrs. E. M
Newell, on Sunday and the body accom-
panied by his wife and two sons, Lee
and Garry, was taken to the old home d
Freeport, III, for burial.

Graduation.

Eight young people graduated from
the high school last Friday evening with
an excellent program, which has already
been published in this paper. The grad
yates are Katie King, Enid Swltzer,
Rhoda Harvey, Sarah Oliver, Guy Spill
Ter, Roland King, Fred Wardnell, Doug
las Mckay.
The program as a whole was of more
interest to the audience than is usual at
such occasions, on account of the variety.
The essays by Douglas Mckay, Katie
King, Enid Swtzer, and Sarah Oliver
were all we'll delivered and we'll thought
out. The lighter veins of the class his
tory, the class poem and the class pro-
phecy, were all very good.
The class poem was a gem, for the
| "Semness' of which, however, the reader
was not at all responsible; while the
class prophecy was mostly series of
charade pictures, behind large frame
that very clearly and amusingly protray-
ed the future of the graduates.
The closing address of Superintendent
Fitch in which he called the class roll
/ for the last time in presenting the di-
plomas, was brief, but expressed much
in few words as to his personal feelings
in bidding farewell to the pupils and the
people of Pembina.
The musical interludes, were also
much appreciated by the audience.
The Pioneer Express desires to add
its congratulations to the class of 1911,
not only for their success in the closing
exercises and for their success in the
completion of their studies in the high
school, but more than all for their sue
cess in earning and receiving the respect
of the citizens whose taxes have paid for
the advantages which they have enjoyed

Gates of studies completed by the pupils
of the public school show the colored
rays from the lights of the school room,
but the invisible rays, which form the
real character are by far the most i'm
portant. The textbooks have little to
do with the latter, but, the character,
building is largely from the personal
work and example of the teacher. That
pupil who makes the best average in
both books and character has passed
with the greatest honors.

Sunday School Convention.

The largest if not most enthusiastic
convention in the twenty. three years
history of the Pembina county Sunday
School Association was held IN the
Methodist church in this city Monday
evening and Tuesday. Over l2O dele
gates and out of town visitors were
registered at the church at the various
sessions, and the building was filled to
its capacity at every session, with the
exception of the early morning prayer
service, which was attended by some
fifty or sixty. The announcement that
Pembina county had won this year the
state banner was greeted with enthusi-
assn, as was also the fact that the county
stood second for the temperance banner.
Rev. and Mrs. Snow, the state general
secretary and elementary superintend-
ent respectively, were most helpful in
their addresses and suggestions, Mrs.
Snow succeeding in showing in her
model class that the children will re-
spond to the request that they do some
actual work in the classes. The address.
es of both at the evening sessions were
most helpful, on Monday evening Mr..
Snow pleading for better understanding
and closer sympathy with the boy at the
critical period of his life, while on Tues
day evening he spoke of the great move
ment of the men back to the Sunday
school, illustrating by one town in Ohio
where every man IN town, with popula-
ton of 5000, is member Of some Sun
day school.
Mrs. Snow gave very impressive talk
en- the subject of Religion and the
Home, which was an appeal for simple
and attractive religious life in the home,
that the children may get their first
ideas Of the Bible and religion from the
parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Snow, who by this time
are becoming familiar figures to the
Sunday school workers Of the county.

Serious Wreck at West Emerson.

Sunday morning at $50 freight train
left here for West Emerson consisting of
over twenty loaded cars for delivery to
the Canadian Northern for Winnipeg.
The train arrived at West Emerson and
pulled out on the main track for the
purpose of backing down on the switch.
While drawing ahead for this purpose
the engineer noticed Canadian North
ern freight train coming south towards
the station. but as he was within yard
limits he paid but little attention until
he noticed that the incoming train did
not slow up and collision was imml-
nent. He then whistled and brought
his train almost to standstill, when the
two locomotives met. The engineer and
fireman jumped in time to escape injury.
The fireman on the G. N engine was still
busy shoveling coal when the impact
came, and after several cars had literal
ly gone over his head. crawled from un-
der uninjured. The engineer on the G..
N. is understood to have jumped before
the impact.
Just why the G. N. train was not stop
ped or even slowed down is very much
of mystery, as it was broad day light
and on the open prairie. 1t is said that
the G. N. engineer claims that there was
a fog that prevented his seeing the 9TH
er train, but as the other engineer had
seen through the same fog, if there was
any, the story is hardly tenable. Any
way the G. N. engineer, by all the rules
should have had his train under
control, at that time and place. He was
running at least thirty miles an hour.
When the two engines struck, the cars
from the G. N. train, which were empty,
began to shoot over the tender and en-
CINE and keel over to one side until four
were piled on top of each other. The
fifth one, refrigerator, followed the
rest but landed upright, crosswise, sus-
pended in the air fifteen feet, with one
end resting on the boiler of the mogul
engine and the other on the wreckage
resembling an overhead bridge at a
distance.
1t Is stated the damage will reach
$4,000 and that the Canadian Northern
is trying to lay the blame to the crew of
the Northern Pacific for not protecting
their train with fagman. Eegineer
Evans was in charge of the G. N. engine
while Sid Wilson held the throttle for
the n. p.
1t was after five o'clock in the evening
before the wreckage was cleared away
and the N. P. flyer due 9:4C in the morn
ing did not pass south until nearly six in
the evening.
All of the Pembina population who
could muster up energy to walk, and
others by conveyance, spent most of the
day watching the wrecking crew clear
ing the track.

There were more than 200 out-of-town
people in the city on Tuesday night who
had to be provided with lodgings. So
far as we have heard all were cared for,
though Secretary Booker of the Sunday
School reception committee and Land
lord Ardies had to stretch themselves
and the available space to do it.
