Blue Earth County Has "Touch-
ed Trust Fund For Great
Big Amount
From Mondays Daily,

Minnesota stands as financial
uncle" of the counties and municipal
ties to the extent of $13,438,2O1 .O3,
as shown by the latest abstract of
loans by the permanent trust funds
of the state prepared by Samuel G.
lyerson, state auditor The state in
vestment board is authorized to loan
cash from the trust funds to counties
for public buildings and drainage
bitches, to school districts, and to
organized municipalities for various
purposes, accepting interest bearing
bonds as security. The funds are de-
rived from the sale of state lands and
timber of state lands and from royal
ties on iron ore mined on state lands.
The largest of the trust funds is
the permanent school fund which on
August l, reached $11,541,511 O3. The
permanent university fund on that
day showed total of $645, 909, while
the swamp land fund which contrib
utes to the support of various state
institutions showed $1,25O,7S1. From
this trust fund Blue Earth county has
borrowed $16S,075.

UTILITIES ADDRESS OF GOV
ERNOR BOILED DOWN..

From Mondays Daily.
Municipal control of public utilities
has been failure, as shown by the
growth of municipal ownership.
The tendency is toward state regu-
lation, because it is superior as to
efficiency, economy and uniformity.
Many utilities are intermunicipal,
and regulation of one company by
several cities is an absurdty.
State commissions are more eff
cient because of centralized RESPONSE
bility and continuity of service.
State commissions restrict stock
and bond issues, which municipalities
cannot do.
Determination of rate questions by
city officials who have made them
an issue in politics is unfair.
A state commission supplies expert
service for making valuations and
otherwise assisting municipalities.
Cities are relieved by state COM
missions of the cost of hiring experts,
which is prohibitive in Minnesota for
all but the largest three cities.
State regulation removes public
utilities from politics.
Uniform accounting makes for bet
ter regulation, and can only be en-
forced by state commission.
Municipality owned plants are
helped by state commissions to be-
come efficient, and to get on the
right financial basis.
Wsconsin's system has worked
we'll, and with some changes should
be transplanted to Minnesota.

Philip Wraneschitz OF Sleepy Eye
has started suit for the recovery of
$25,275 against the United Flour
Mills company of Sleepy Eye through
his attorneys, A. R. Pau. Jr., and
c. j. Laurisch of this city. Mr. Wran-
eschitz alleges in his complaint that
on January %, 1913, while he was
working in the mills of the defend
ants in this case as miller's helper,
he was told to assist in putting on
a belt over a pully while the machin.
cry was running.
The pulley, he says was in a dam
gerous position and the machinery
was not guarded by ratings, and that
the work which was required of Mr..
Wraneschitz called for his taking
risk. While holding the
belt on the pully with stick, as
he was directed, the stick was jerk
ed from him and struck him in the
body nea rhis shoulder
AS a result of the accident, Mr..
Wraneschitz alleges in his complaint,
he has permanently lost the partial use
of his right arm, has had to under
go an operation on his back for the
removal of pieces of his clothing which
were driven in by the board, has
been incapacitated for manual labor.

Beat II To Safe
Spot; Save Lives

From Mondays Daily.
When dragging brakebeam on a
car in an extra freight train on the
Omaha road pulling into Mankato
from the north shortly after four
o'clock yesterday afternoon caught in
switch frog just west of the Omaha
freight depot, several yards of track
were ripped out of the ground, two
cars of coal were smashed to pieces,
and traffic all over the main line of
the Omaha road at this point was
blocked for several hours. The acct
dent occurred shortly before North
western passenger No. 514, east
bound, pulled in, and the freight was
trying to make Minneopa before the
train arrived. The passenger had to
come in on another track.
Was Lucky Accident.
The accident was lucky one in
that no one was hurt Two car re-
pairers, Nels Sandquist and Eustice
Johnson were standing along side of
the passing train, and as they saw
what was happening as the brake
beam caught, they had to run for
their lives, and barely escaped being
hit by the flying debris. The brake
beam was seen hanging down by a
small boy some distance up the track.
but he could not give an alarm that
would be heard. AS it caught the
frog, the rails were lifted up, broken
off and after the ties had been chop
ped in two for about fifty feet, the
rails bulged, and swung two cars
off the track. AS they went, the
trucks slid out, and dug into the
ground on the next track, and this
track, ties, rails and all were simply
showed through the ground, and slid
over about ten feet.
Track Lifted In Air.
The track was lifted in the air
in the middle to heighth of three
feet, but the bent rails did not break.
The two cars were loaded with coal,
one with soft coal, and the other with
hard COAL and their heavy burden
split them wide open as they fell.
The crash was heard for blocks
around, and the people swarmed to
see the disaster. The wrecker was
sent from St. James, and it ar
rived shortly after six o'clock. It
took some hours to clear all the de-
bris from the track. A gang of men
was ordered out at once to repair
the broken track.
The Train Crew.
The train crew of the luckless
freight consisted of Conductor H. J.
foley, Engineer R. r. Jenkins and
Bell. The engineer closed the trottle
and gave her the air" as soon al
most as the brakebeam caught but
the momentum of the heavy train
carried it for some distance before
it came to standstill. The wrecked

w. D. Fleming, who was standing
near the track at the Main street
crossing when the train passed by.
observed the broken brakebeam and
he made every effort possible to at
tract the attention of engineer and
trainmen to what had happened. He
realized that an accident must surely
happen if the train continued on it's
way. However, much to Mr. Flem-
ing's disappointment not a member
of the crew saw or heard his warn
ing
Last evening the wreckers and
crew of men came from ST. James
and removed the debris. A large
crowd gathered to watch the proceed
ings.
