ORIENTAL. LIMITED NARROW
IY ESCAPES BEING DITCHEI

Lakota Observer: Edward Martinek
prevented serious wreck On the
Great Northern which would have
piled up special freight. Martinek
who is in the employ of J. Fl. Beatty,
county commissioner, and lives one
mile west Of the city, had finished the
evening duties at the farm and was
on his way to the city. He was pro-
ceeding along the tracks and dis
covered that the frog which connects
the west leg of the wye Of the shales
line with the main line was broken.
Young Martink, having had three
years. experience railroading, knew
that the damaged frog would ditch a
train. Looking west he discovered a
fast approaching special freight. At
once he ran with all speed toward
the train using his hat for a signal,
warned the engineer to stop, which
he did but few feet from the broken
frog. Tn train crew of the freight
spiked the frog back into position and
the train proceeded to the city where
the matter was reported to the agent,
Gus Johnson. Had not train No. /
the west bound Oriental limited been
one hour late 1t would have run into
the injured frog, as the discovery was
made only short time before the
train was uue.

PISTON ROD TORE CLOTHING
VICTIMS BODY PAINFULLY
BRUISED.

Cando, Sept. while threshing on
the John Moylan farm Ross Baker
had what may be regarded as mir
aculous escape from being instantly
killed. AS we have the details of the
accident, it happened somewhat in
this manner: Ross discovered that
One of the bolts on his engine was
loose and stepped out on the siderail
to tighten it. In some way his cloth
ing became caught in the piston
wheel and he was drawn between
the wheel and the boiler. The only
thing that prevented his being whirl-
ed around to instant death was that
he was too large physically to be
drawn in. AS it was, the piston rod,
revolving 260 times a minute, con-
tinued striking him and tearing his
clothing, until nothing remained but
rags and shreds. It is almost beyond
belief that any man could have gone
through such grill,ng and come out
alive. The fireman stopped the enine
and Ross was taken out and removed
to the house. DR.. F. J. Roberts was
called to attend the injured man and
found that he was covered with bru.s-
es over his entire body. that there
was cut on his head and one of his
limbs was torn somewhat, but there
was no sign of internal injury.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF

HIS RUNNING.
FACT HE HAS ONLY BEEN IN THE

AGAINST HIM.

Fargo, N. D., Sept. president
Creegan Of Fargo College announced
today that he would not be a candi-
date for governor Of North Dakota on
the third party Progressive ticket, re-
signing from the honor rendered him
at the state Progressive convention
held in this city last Friday.
The fact that the board of directors
of Fargo college request that DR..
Creegan either remain the president
of Fargo College, or else be Bull
Moose and enter the political arena
is responsible for his resignation, to.
gether with the added fact that he
has only been resident Of North
Dakota three years, Eve years being
required before he could become a
candidate for governor.
