THREE FREIGHT CARS INTO RIVER
Track Slides Out After Part Of Train Has Passed
Over Passenger Train Delayed

Quite a ssrlous wreck occurred on
rhe branch line of the Milwaukee
road between the tunnel and SAINTS
Friday afternoon.
A fro light train with twelve or az
teen Ger loaded with logs and five
or six loaded with lumber Was
coming towlrd this city.
The soft weather OF the past few
days had weakened the road bed In a
number of places, especially at the
place where the accident occurred.

engine and the cars loaded. with legs
had passed safely over the place but

oars we're prtoipitated over the en-

remained intact turned completely
over aud finally landed IN midsteram
Several her cars left the q k and
we're piled in the ditch but did not
go over the embankment nto the
river, and a long stretch Of the track
was torn up.

coupled TO a passenger coach and re-
turned to the scene of the wreck.
Arriving there the passengers from
he regular train were transferred to
the extra coach and brought to thle
city, arriving here between eleven
aud twelve O'Clock.
In transferring from one train to
the other the passengers, among
whom we're several ladies, had to
walk around the wreck of the freight
train which was not a very pleasant
trip especially for the ladies.
A wreLker was sent up to clear
out the wreckaRe and put the track
In condition again.
The morning train for Elk River
