Devils Lake. N. D., Feb. II
The list of the injured in the wreck
of the Oriental Limited. which oc-
CURED near Doyon, N. D., eighteen
miles east Of this city, last night,
was brought to twenty this morn
ing when it was learned that A.
Palmquist and A. FELTON, OF st.
Paul, mail clerks, were more ser
iously injured than was at first
thought and they were removed
from their room in local hotel to
the General hospital
1t was because of the fact that
these men insisted that they were
uninjured and advised the physi-
clans to attend to the suffering
passengers that their condition was
not learned last night. Palmquist
is suffering from deep cash in
his head and FELTON, has three
broken ribs. Both will recover.
The condition of the Minneapolis
men, who were among the injured,
is reported somewhat improved by
their physicians this morning. M.
A. Mace who suffered internal in
juries, will not be allowed to leave
the hospital for several days, al
though his condition is better this
morning A. ]. Goff, dining car
chef, the other Minneapolis man,
received a bad cut in the head but
it is thought he will be able to
leave the hospital this evening.
The condition of w. e. Prindi-
vile of Devils Lake. the engineer,
who was the most severely injured,
is reported slightly improved, all
though his doctor says he must
make a hard fight to recover. The
broken bones in both of his lower
limbs protruded through the skin
and severed an artery in each limb,
and because of the great loss of
blood he is very weak.
Fifty seven passengers are regis
tered at the Great Northern hotel,
as those who received minor in
juries and did not care to travel
on the special train made up last
night.
The Great Northern Railroad Co.

Accommodations for all those who
did not care to continue their trip
