Passengers Sustain Minor Injuries.

Crary, N. D., Aug. 1.-two uniden-
tilted hoboes were killed, Fireman H
Falkinger was probably fatally in
jured, three coaches were burned and
a half dozen passengers sustained
minor injuries when the Oriental
Limited, the Great Northern's crack
coast train, was wrecked here at 1910
o'clock tonight.
Spreading rails, due to the recent
i heavy rains, are assigned as the cause
of the. wreck. Heavy rains have fall
en- here for three days. Portions Of
the roadbed were washed away, al
lowing a spread in the rails.
The train was running forty miles
an hour when the engine struck the
washout. Engineer Sargent saw the
danger and threw on the air. He
stayed at the throttle, with his hand
on the air brake, until the great train
came to a standstill, with the pilot on
the engine plunged deep in the road
bed. Sargent's quick action is said to
have prevented a much more serious
smashup. He was unhurt.
Fireman Falkinger attempted to
jump and was caught between the
tender and the engine cab, when the
tender turned on its side. Physicians
said tonight his injuries were to his

Two men apparently stealing ride
on the brake beams were killed. One
of them died instantly, crushed be-
tween roadbed and the bottom of the
coach. The other man died an hour
later, his back broken.
The wreck occurred but short dis
lance from the railroad station here.
AS the long train of coaches struck
the washout and the rails spread, the
engine swerved to the side and dash
ed it's weight and the weight of the
train behind it against the Duluth

the great train was shaken to the last

Fire from an unknown cause broke
out in one of the three coaches to the
rear of the engine. Passengers in

received minor cuts and bruises dur

Soon the baggage car, smoker and

Honey Creek, Ia, Jan. 10
Freeman Points, the 16.year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
Points, living about a mile and
a half south of Honey Creek,
accidentally shot himself in the
right arm about a o'clock Sat-
urday afternoon while hunting
rabbits.
Taking his dog with him, he
had gone rabbit hunting in the
ssown, and it was not long be-
fore the dog had chased a rab.
bit into cover in the brush. In
absence of a stick, he used tie
butt end of his gun to make an
opening in the brush, when in
some manner it was discharged.
He received the entire charge
in his right arm, the flesh on
one side being entirely torn
away.
The wounded boy was rushed
to Mercy hospital in Council
Bluffs, and Dr.. Jennings called
to attend him. Word from the
hospital is that he is getting
along as we'll as could be ex-
pected, although his condition
is regarded as quite serious.

Obituary

The funeral services for
Charles Witt, ST., were held
yesterday afternoon at the
home of his son, Herbert C..
Witt, 729 East Fifth street.
Rev. G. E. Reibert, pastor of
the German Presbyterian
church, conducted the service.
Charles Witt was born in
Crivitz, Germany, on August
Ia, 1849. As youth of eigh-
teen years he came to America,
and went to Galena, Ill.,, where
he was ingaged in a restaurant.
In the year 1876 he was united
in marriage to Elizabeth Meyer,
who in all trials was a faithful
life companion to him. To
this union there were born the
three sons, Harry, of Fargo, N
D, Herbert c., of Winona, and
Charles G., of Missouri Valley,
Ia.
In the year 1895 Mr.. Witt
and his family came to Winona,
to live, where he was engaged
as an insurance agent until
about six years ago when he
removed to Missouri Valley,
la. Here he was a valued en-
ploye of the Northwestern rail-
wav company. On Nov. a,
1912, he came to Winona for
treatment by local physicians
1t was in the home of his son,
Herbert, that he received all
the care that human hands
could give him, but his condi
tion grew worse and he was re-
moved to the Winona General
hospital where he died in the
afternoon of January 8 Be-
sides the bereaved wife, three
sons and two grandchildren,
the deceased is survived by two
brothers, Frank and VIM Witt,
Of Winona, and four sisters,
Mrs. Heer, of Kansas, Mrs

Ma lie Good At The Jump!
Parcel post has made gooc
Great dublic service reforms
usually require time for usage
to oil the wheels of their mach
inry. But parcel post made good
the first Gay!
The first real test between
the new overnment expert
ment and the old established ex
-press companies was made out
of Chicago the very first day of
parcel post. A parcel mailed at
a Chicago parcel window by 8
person unknown to the officials
was delivered in Milwaukee
eight hours and forty minutes
later.
A package sent by express at
the same moment as q test had
not been heard from "a hours
after heirg sent.
The package sent by post cost
the sender 10 cents.
The express package cost rs cts
There you are, speed, econ
omy, efficiency for the new
parcel post, despite eleventh
hour express rate reductions
and boasted organization on the
part of the express companies.
You remember what the ex
press companies said about the
parcel post proposal? They dec
Jared it was fine theory, but
it wouldn't hold in practice
They admitted that in the
conres of years there might be
built up as efficient an organic.
alton as they had. But it would
take years it would be expen-
sive. Furthermore the rates
charged for parcel post were
ridiculous.
The Chicago Tribune sent 20
package by post ands 20 by ex
press to the same persons liv-
ing in all the parcel post zones.
Comparison was made of rates,
quickness of delivery, of the
condition of the package on re-
ceipt. The parcel posi- package
to Milwaukee was sent at 1901
a. m. It was received in perfect
condition at Sal am. The pack
age went in the regular coures.
It was delivered with other
packages as part of a load.
There was no thought of trying
to make the parcel post beat
the express. 1t was simply a
test of the efficiency of the new

A Disgrace

It Is time the city heat users
of this city were doing some
thing. The Light and Power
company have spent a large
sum of m oney To- put the heat
plant in shape and the servi.e
is no better than it was under

houses and homes have. no
method of heating their rooms

that there has been plenty of
time to put the plant in first
class shape so that heat could

two of the LATEST style boilers
with aut stnkers SO that
that the human ele ment is elm
mated as far as possible, but
with all of their first class
equipment the heat especially
is very unsatisfactory. The
main trouble seems to be with
the boilers which are going out
of commission all of the time
but it would seem that with the
equipment they could keep ore
boiler going while the other IS
being repaired. The new boil
