I DE IN ORIENTAL
EXPRESG WRECK
Fast Train Is Piled Up Near
Devils Lake, N. D.
TAKES A 3O-F0OT PLUNGE
Ten Coaches Go Over Embankneht
and Are Destroyed Scores OF
Passengers lnjured-Catastrophe
Blamed TO Defective Track.

Devils Lake, N. D.-SeVen were
killed and scores MANNED when the
Oriental express, east bound, plunged
over an embankment three miles east
of Devils Lake. Ten coaches lelt the
track. At least fifty passengers were
imprisoned in the telescoped mass.
The precipice over which the train
dashed was thirty feet high, and all
the Pullmans were plunged into the
ditch. The cries of the dying and I'M
prisoned added agony to the delayed
rescue work. In the darkness 1T was
almost impossible to ascertain the
number killed.
According to the report of the first
crew that brought the dead to TINS
city, the scene was horrible.
The escaping steam that scalded
the unconscious bodies held fast in
the wreckage, and the fire that
threatened the supposedly tireproot
coaches defied the rescuers.
A defective track is believed to be
responsible for the wreck.

to the United States Steel corpora
ton, lease which was recently or
dered to be Cancelled, in 1915.

mercifully "chiseled," paying $1.02 per
ton for ore while independents paid
other companies between Is anc AZ
cents; how he had turned over the
Mesaba properties and half dozen
other concerns to the Lake Superior
company, limited, thus keeping inside
