Throughout the residence districts of

the utmost disreagrd for life and limb.
Occasionally there is a bad accident,

few have been hailed into court and

of the authorities.

not more people killed or injured as a

Wholesale arrests Of the law violators,
combined with workhouse sentences for
the most reckless Of them, would have
a wholesome effect in checking the
evil.

FAST DRIVING
A Mania Among Auto Drivers
Causes Many Accidents.

Minneapolis, June 13.-Another cpl
demic of automobile speed mania
seems to be spreading throughout
Minnesota. The records of the past
week show one accident in which a
party of Joy riding youths ran over
and killed a woman. another 10 which
almost an entire family was wiped
out through the rashness of the head
of 1t in en~deavoring to race with a
fast train, and a third in which the
scion Of a ~well-known Minneapolis
family drove at such reckless speed
that his machine, after leaving the
road crashed through q fence and
aerop!aned through the air for some
distance before burying its wheels
several inches deep in a nearby field.
In the latter case, fortunately, no
one but the f~oolhardy driver was in
jured.
These accidents are bat the fruit
of the criuinally reckless driving,
which is in evidence both on city
streets and country roads. Speed
laws are as. little obeyed, either by
automobilists or motorcyclists, except

the death of her father, and she was

IN modest comfort.
Switch Annie" in her short skirts,
high boots. cotton gloves and broad
brimmed hat, soon knew every one
and all knew her. She preserved her
dignity and kept the respect of them all.
While her father was still living
Annie averted what might have been a
disastrous wreck. A switch was set
wrong and a clear track signal had
been given to a fast passenger train.
Annie arrived, took in the situation at
a glance, and reached the switch be-
fore the fast approaching train could
swerve into the siding and crash in
to d long line of freight car.

SWITCH ANNIE
Occupied Position in Milwaukee.
Stock Yards for Many
Years.

Milwaukee. June 10. Mrs. CHARLES
W. Green, now having a good nome
and a devoted husband, was known
years ago 10 railroad circles as
Switch Annie.
The slim, fiaxen-haired German girl
was for twenty years in charge of the
complicated system of switches on the
st. Paul road in the Mil yankee
stockyards. She performed her duties
with such regularity and unfailinq
accuracy that II. s. Teall, former
yaldmaster, since deceased, expressed
the utmost confidence in the girl who
thus supported her widowed mother
and elder sister for many years by
her earnings as switch lady"
Her father. Joseph Grandtner, had
been crippled in a railroad accident
just before Annie was born. He was
guaranteed a position for life with the
st. Paul road and was assigned to the
stockyard switches. The place was an
important one, as the La Crosse and
Prairie du Chen divisions divorced at
that point. la addition there was a
confusing myriad of stockyard tracks
and cut-offs, each with its separate
switch. All passenger traffic passed
this point on its way from the old
depot on Reed street.
Annie's father was unable to get
around without crutches. and the in
creasing volume of traffic gradually
began to overtax his strength. So his
little daughter began to help him in
his work, running and tuning the
switches furtherest from his honely
brown switch shantY.
She gradually assumed more re-
sp~onsibilitY and soop became the
mainstay of her crippled father. Then
