Oriental Limited wreckad.

Fargo, N. D., June drumming into a
derail one mile east of Moorhead at Z
o'clock last night the Oriental Limited
coast train on the Great Northern rail-
way, was wrecked.
Engineer Frank French Of Barnes
vile, Mimi, remained at his post in an
effort to save the train and was killed.
The passengers escaped with slight
injuries and a general shakeup.
The mogul locomotive left the rails
and plunged down a tenfoot embank-
| ment. The baggage and mail cars fol-
lowed and all were overturned. Then
the smoking car, containing many pas
sengers, left the rails and practically
turned over.
The wreck occurred 800 feet from the
Northern Pacific crossing. Either THE
engineer failed to observe the block sci
against him or the towerman made the
mistake of giving the train the right OF
way and then reversed signals.
The open derailing switch was seen
but too late.
The engineer set the emergency
brakes and remained on duty in an ef-
| fort to further check headway. He was
crushed between the firebox and the ten.
| der when the cars turned over.
Fireman Nick Becker of Grand Forks
jumped from the cab and escaped with
! slight injuries.
Engineer French was one Of the Oldest
| Great Northern engineers on this divis
/ ion. Fireman Becker has been with thu
company several years.
| Mail clerks, baggage and express me1
were severely shaken up, but as soo1
as the doors of their cars were opened
craW1ed out uninjured.

SUPT. T0MLINSON
IS NO MORE
Head Of State Hospital at viii.
mar Gets Final Summons
Last Friday.

DR.. H. A. Tomlinson, who was instru-
mental in planning and establishing the
| Minnesota State Hospital for Inebriates
| at Willmar and its first superintendent
| Is dead. He wss stricken with hemor.
rhage Of the brain in February and re-
| NAMED in very serious Condition un.
| ti' last Wednesday, when he became
critically ill, and all hope for his lie
| was lost. He passed away Friday eve.
| ming, May 30, at 1880 O'CLOCK. He is
| mourned by wife and daughter, who
have the sympathy of many friends
here.
The remains were taken to st. Peter
where the funeral occurred on Monday.
DR.. Tomlinson attained the age of 81
years. He was a graduate of the Uni
versty of Pennsylvania. He came to
| Minnesota in 1890 and joined the staff
| of the state hospital for the insane at
ST. Feter December l, 1891. He was
promoted to the superintendency two
years later. Under his management new
methods of treating the insane were
| adopted and the St. Peter institution be-
came known throughout the country as
| a model of it's kind.
When the State Board Of Control
| had located the hospital for inebriates,
provided for by the legislature in 1907,
DR.. Tomlinson was asked to help in the
planning and building of the institution,
and to take charge Of it when complet-
ed. The science Of treating victims of
| drug and alcohol habits, he believed,
| was practically undeveloped, and despite
efforts to persuade him to continue his
work at the st. Peter institution he
| elected to enter the new field.
Before coming to Minnesota, Dr. Tom
| linson had charge of a private hospital
for the treatment of inebriates at
Frankfort, Pa, and had continued his
studies Of such cases at st. Peter.
DR.. Tomlinson was widely recognized
as an authority on medicine and pathol-
ogy. He was a member of the American
Congress of Physicians & Surgeons; the
American Medical Association. and was
| in 1901 chairman of the section in Ner-
vous & Mental Disease. He was men,
ber of the American Medico-psycholog-
ical Associations; and was vice president
/ Of the American Academy Of Medicine,
and a member of the Minnesota Acad-
| emy of Medicine. He was member,
and has been president Of the State
Medical Association; the State Confer
| ence Of Charities and Correction; the
State Sanitary Conference; and the
, State Anti-tuberculosis Association.
