Blame Company
For Disasterous Wreck at Odessa
-Flagman also Held Respon-
sible, and Aberdeen Dispatcher
and Appleton Operator Cen
sured.
Responsibility for the wreck Of
the Columbian flyer at Odessa,
two weeks ago Monday, in the
opinion of the coroner's jury
which was empaneled at Orton-
vile, lies chiefly with the Chicago
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway CO
f. j. Noonan, the train dispatch
es at Aberdeen, is given liberal
share of the blame as is also the
night operator at Appleton, MINI.
and the flagman on the Colum-
bian, Roy B. Law, of Minneapolis,
says the Grant County Review.
The maintaining of a defective
semaphore at Odessa and failure
to enforce the rules for the pro-
lection of passengers, We're the
reasons given by the jury for
holding the railroad company
chiefly responsible for the ter
rible disaster. Noonan, the dis
patcher, is held to have been at
fault also in allowing the second
section Of the train to enter the
same block with the Columbian,
thus violating the rules, and the
operator at Appleton, W. l.
Keiser was censured for giving
information that the first section
was close to Appleton. Flagman
Law also comes in for a liberal
share Of the blame for neglect
ing his duty by not properly pro-
tecting the rear of the Colum-
bian.
The findings of the jury are
complete exoneration of Albert
Adams, operator at Odessa, and
R. M. Montiel, operator at June
ton Switch. Adams maintained
firmly that when he left the sta
ton early on the morning of the
wreck, the semaphore showed
"clear," !" and that it had either
Other evidence was given to back
up the contention of Adams. and
it was proven that the semaphore
was in a defective condition
Montiel had orders from the
train dispatcher at Aberdeen to
"clear' the second section, ac-
cording to the testimony submit
ted, the order being given upon
information received from the
operator at Appleton that the
Columbian, was in sight at that
place. The Appleton operator
was censured for giving this in
formation
Dispatcher Noonan claimed at
the Investigation that by his or
f. der of "clear'' from Aberdeen to
the operator at Junction Switch,
he meant simply that he had no
orders for the second section.

seem to place the greater blame
on the flagman, Roy Law, and so

trick photographs were fine, too,
and no one could tell but what
they were genuine But with
the popularity Of the photograph
came publicity to the enterprise.
and news of the industry reached
the white house few days ago,
with the result that Mr.. Taft re-
quested that this indiscriminate
use of his picture be discontinued
therefore future visitors to the
capital will be deprived of the
pleasure of sending indications of
their own greatness to their

Poor old Ohio, the home of
presidents, is having a hard time
