LIFE WAS
CRUSHED OUT
Distressing Accident Occurred
at Kindred
CaSs County Town Scene Of
Tragedy Yesterday

Kindred, N. D., May 3.-While the
workmen Of the Cargill Elevator Co.
were between the last two remaining
walls Of the old elevator, which they
were razing to the ground, they sud-
denly collapsed. Frank Roban was
chushed between the timbers and ex-
pired a few moments afterward. A.
S. Christensen, who was nearer the
end, escaped with only cash cut in
the forehead, by falling timber.
The crew employed by the company
came here about two weeks ago to
tear down the old elevator which has
stood for nearly thirty years, remove
the debris, and construct in its stead
modern building. They began on
the oupola and had the tearing down
all completed, save the last two walls,
when the fatal accident occurred.
Mr.. Rohan was 33 years of age and
has a wife and four children residing
in Waverly, Mimi, where the remains
were sent. The bereaved family were
at once notified and a shadow of sor-
row rests on the village and deep SYM
pathy is extended the bereaved widow

Was President Taft, then a
member of Roosevelt cabinet, pres
ent at the cabinet meetings three
years ago at which it was deter
mined not to proceed against the
Harvester trust? And If he was
present, did he acquiesce in the
course taken by the administra-
ton? Two members of the cabi-
net at the time were George B.
Cortelyou, secretary Of the treas
ury, and Charles J. Bonaparte, at
torney general. These two men
ought to be able to give the public
some light. Bonaparte declares
emphatically that Mr.. Taft was
present at the cabinet meetings at
which the harvester trust suit was
discussed, and that he acquiesced
in the administrations course. Mr..
Cortelyou refuses, to make any
statement in regard to the matter.
II have nothing to say" he tells
the reporters. .- 81 .
