TIoNs CAN BE SENT TO 1T TO
REcuPERATE SPLENDID FOR
CAVALRY MANEuvERs.

Washington, D.. c., Jan. Ex-senator
McCumber and other members of the
North Dakota delegation will make a
determined fight to prevent the aban-
donment of Fort Lincoln recommended
in the report of the secretary of war.
Every reason exists for the main
tenance of Fort Lincoln that was urg-
ed when it was established and later
when it was enlarged" said McCum-
ber.
THE location is one Of the best in
the country, the climatic conditions
are unexcelled and troops returning
from the tropics can be sent to Fort
Lincoln to recuperate. The location
is ideal for this purpose. Wide
stretches of country make the post
very valuable for cavalry evolutions
and general maneuvers.
The abandonment OF the post would
mean a total loss to the government
of large investment. The post is
within forty eight hours by rail OF
any part of the country and on three
transcontinental railroad lines"

st. Paul, Jan. 20. Twenty persons
were hurt, several seriously, when the
brakes of a selby Lake car failed to
work this morning and the car plunged
through the steep Selby tunnel in st.
Paul, tore down Third street and
smashed into car ahead at Seven
Corners.
Knowing that the extra brakes were
out Of order, the car crew asked the
passengers to take the car following
at the entrance to the tunnel One
man remained. The motorman and
conductor attempted to take the car
through alone relying on the air
brakes to, check the steep descent.
When these refused to work the
heavy car was entirely out of control
Gaining speed at every yard it rushed
through the long tunnel, careening
from side to side until the conductor
said he feared it would scrape the
cement work.
BY miracle the car stayed on the
rails and passed the curve at the
mouth. Then it continued toward the
center of the city all down grade, with
the crew whirling the hand brakes
and reversing the current In a vain
effort to slacken speed.
At Seven Corners another car had
just crossed the street and stopped 10
let off passengers. Into this crashed
the wild trolley with all the force of
a mile long start.
Both the cab of the runaway car and
! the rear end of the stationary trolley
were smashed to bits. Motorman
Swanson Of the runaway was J2nEaed
beneath his stove and heating plant
Both his legs were cut off. He was
THE most seriously hurt Of the injured
All of the victims were taken to St
Joseph's and st. Luke's hospitals.
The known injured: Swanson, mo-
torman of the runaway car, both legs
cut off at the knees taken To ST
Josepll's hospital, may die.
