ENGINEER KILLED IN
WRECK At M00RHEAD
ENGINEER FRANK FRENCH DIES
AT HIS POST-FIREMAN EVIL
IDENTIFY SAVED HIMSELF BY
JUMPING.

The Oriental Limited, the Great
Northern's fastest and best train, was
wrecked at the Northern Pacific cross
ing mile east of Moorhead, Mimi,
Sunday evening and Frank French,
one Of the best known G. N. engineers,
was instantly killed. His fireman,
Nick Becker, was thrown from the
engine and his nose crushed, but he is
recovering at the Moorhead hospital.
1t appears that the engineer disre-
garded the block signal for he ran
his engine onto the derail The en-
CINE, tender, mail car, baggage car
and smoker ran off the track and
plowed up the earth for 300 feet, the
engine burying its nose in the soft
bank.
Engineer French remained at his
post with his hand on the throttle. His
body was caught between the engine
and tender, when the connecting plate
broke. One leg was cut off. 1t was
some hours before his body could be
taken out of the wreckage.
Several passengers were slightly
injured.
Mr.. French was about As years of
age and leaves a wife and four chill
dren. He formerly lived at Grand
Forks, but was resident of Barnes
vile, Mimi, at the time of his death.

CHARGES FILED
AGAINST SMITH
HEARING COMES UP TODAY AT
THE CITY HALL-CHIEF WAS
NOT SUSPENDED.

Charges were filed against Chief
of Police Elmer Smith at the meeting
of the city commission Monday even
ing. He was charged with conduct
unbecoming an officer and the commits
sion passed a resolution suspending
the chief, pending an investigation,
which is slated to come up today at
the city hall.
According to City Attorney MCGEE,
however, the commission had not the
power to suspend the officer, the power
lying entirely with the president of
the commission. Mr.. Davis stated
that he intended to suspend the chief
but considering the early date for the
hearing, did not consider it necessary,
altho he had made out the suspension
papers.
1t is presumed the part the chief
played in routing out the men along
the river last Thursday, had some
