VICE PRESIDENT
SUCCUMBS At UTICA
Sherman Passes Away II Pres
ence of His Family at His
Utica Home

Utica, Oct. 3O.-After a long i'll
ness Vice President James School
craft Sherman died at his home
here tonight of uremic poisoning
caused by Hight's disease.
He had been sinking since early
morning and it was realized that
death was only question of few
hours. There was a slight relief
shortly after o'clock caused by the
apparent improvement of the condi-
tion of his kidneys, but this gave on
ly temporary hope. At 9 O'Clock
the patients temperature rose to
106, and from th,n on his condition
grew worse until the end came at
9:42.
Mr. Sherman had been uncon-
scious for many hours and was in
that condition when he died.
All members of the immediate
family witnessed the final scene
Those present were three sons, Sher-
ril, Richard and Thomas, and their
respective wives; r. M. Sanford
Sherman, brothers of Mr. Sherman,
and Mrs. l.. B. Moore and Mrs. H. j.
Cookingham, sister OF Mr.. Sherman,
in addition to Mrs. Sherman.
Soon after the death, DR.. Fayette
Peck issued the statement saying
the vice president was perfectly
quiet when he died. The vice pres
ident had period of partial con-
sciousness about Z o'clock lasting
about Is minutes.
Mrs. Sherman bore up we'll under
the shock, as also did other men,
bers Of the family. Although death
was expected, the blow to the family
was a crushing one.
News of the death spread quickly
and the big bell in the city hall
and the church bells tolled out
the doleful news.
All political meetings scheduled
here, and the addresses of candi-
dates have been postponed until af-
ter the funeral.

GENERAL ELECT|ON RESULTS.

Though there are several states
that are in the doubtful column it
is generally conceded by all that
Woodrow Wilson and Thomas Mar
shall are elected president and vice
president respectively by an over
whelming majority. AS near as
could be ascertained at the time
The Tribune went to press Taft will
carry three states, Roosevelt seven,
Wilson II, while the rest are uhcer-
tain. Wilson will carry North Da-
kota.
In the congressional race P. D.
Norton, the republican nominee, is
the winner without any question.
Halvorson comes in second with a
very good vote, and LeSeur failing
very close behind him.
Hanna is elected governor by a
very handsome majority as we'll as

Endreson, Staale Hendrickson and

tivse. The socialist legislative can

nothing in Divide county, while
the democratic candidates got ve0
few votes in Burke caunty and ran

lican candidates, however, ran we'll
in both counties and will be sever

Foothills precincts are yet to be

Foothills will go solid for McDon-
mel, it being the stronghold of the
socialists, and Thorson will do like
wise. Kandiyohi is quite badly
split up and it would be hard to
guess just how it will vote. How
ever, in the past it has always went
strong for the republicans, and in
case it does this year there will not
be ten votes difference between the

TWO KILLED BY
STEAM EXPLOSION
Explosion of Locomotive Near
Lennon Kills Engineer
and Brakeman

Hettinger, N. D., Nov. 5.-A
frightful accident occurred about
two miles east of Lennon early
Tuesday morning when G. M. &
S. P. locomotive exploded killing en-
gineer Seeley, head breakman Brett
ing and seriously injuring the fire.
men.
The train to which the locomo-
tive was attached was an extra
freight, westbound. Engineer See-
ley was at the throttle, the fireman,
was at his post and brakeman Brett
ing stood beside the fireman, when
q peculiar noise attracted their at
tention. Brakeman Breiting start
ed to step over to the engineers
side when he and the engineer were
hurled to their death. The fireman
while seriously injured, was prob
ably saved from instantaneous death
by the fact that he kept his place
on his own side of the locomotive.
It is thought that the boiler had
gone dry and being red hot, when
more cold water was taken in, it
created the gas ana steam pressure
that caused the explosion, the ac-
tion of the water on the hot boiler
being much the same as when cold
water comes in contact with a hot
stove.
The locomotive was almost COM
pletely demolished, fragments of it
being thrown a distance of three
hundred feet.
Engineer Seeley's home is at Mar
math where he leaves a wife and
three children to mourn his untim-
ely death. Brakeman Breiting like
wise lives a Marmath and he too
leaves wife and several children.
The fireman was taken, soon after
the accident to the Mobridge hospi-
tai where his injuries are receiving
attention. 1t is thought he will re-
cover.
