FREIGHT WRECK
North of Mitchell Injuries Seven, Not
Seriously.

Mitchell, July S.-Seven men We're
injured, none seriously, late Friday
afternoon when the last three cars of
freight train No. 1872 went into the
ditch one and a half miles north of
the city. Conductor William Bas-
ford, in charge of the train, was the
most seriously hurt.
Investigation disclosed that the
three cars, a refrigerator car, freight
car and caboose, went off the track
when a wheel on the refrigerator car
broke. The track was torn up for
some distance before the three cars
went into the ditch. All were over
turned, the contents of the refriger-
ator car, butter and eggs, being spill
ed along the right of way. The train
was going about twenty-five miles an
hour.
Conductor Basford was in the
lookout on the caboose at the time
of the accident. His forehead was
quite badly cut by breaking glass.
After satisfying himself that none of
the passengers was seriously injured,
he boarded the engine and came to
the city. Over half an hour passed
before any surgeons were located.
Fourteen stitches were taken on the
wound on Mr.. Basford's head.
The other five men who were hurt
were badly shaken up and bruised.
James Grace was badly bruised and
sustained a wrenched shoulder. c.
Crowninshield was cut about the
forehead with flying glass. Other
passengers who were not seriously
injured were Rodell Warne, II. Fl.

PEACE AID IN
RECORD COAL OUTPUT
Total Anthracite Production
81, 100000 Tons.

Washingtcn.-In spite of the fact
that houSeholders paid more last win
Ter for hard coal than they have done
FOR ~Utnp time. official figures show that
all previous records We're smashed last
year In the production of anthracite
coal.
Likewise Investigations show there
we're fewer strikes or other Interrupt
tons to mining operations in the an
thracite regions than there have been
for some time.
The production, according to figures
complied. reached the remarkable total
Of more than 81. 100000 tons. If all
this could be loaded at the same time.
and placed end to end, the cars needed
tc hold the fuel would stretch the dis.
lance from San Francisco to London.
The absence of labor troubles in the
anthracite region Is attributed to the
fact that the hard coal miners are now
working under an agreement extending
uver u period of -four years from April
|. 1912. and that there is every reason
to believe that industrial peace in the
anthracite fields will continue until
| 1916.
Because of the increasing popularity
| Of artificial gas and coke for domestic
| purposes 1t is said that there is little
| probability that anthracite coal pro
| duction will show any marked increase
in the future.
The increase in the use OF gas aud
| coke. it is estimated. will probably
keep pace with the increase OF popu
alton In the markets supplied by an
thracite. On the other hand. ii is as
serted, the use of anthracite coal as a
manufacturing fuel having been prac
ticaIly eliminated its production Is not
affected by trade conditions TO the
same extent as that Of bituminous
coal.
Besides breaking records in the ton
mage Of hard coal produced, @s gear
broke previous records regarding the
working conditions in the mines.
The average working time for men,
257 days, exceeded anything in b his
tory of the industry, the nearest ap.
proach being In 1911, when an average
Of 246 working days was recorded.
The number of deaths by accident In
the mines showed a marked Increase
over the number of those recorded IN
1912. Last year there were 6ls fataI
accidents as compared with 5S4 In 1872

We have gone into the matter at

a member of the investigation COM
mission, and / am convinced that
the state can collect the amounts
which these former officials received
in interest on state funds. We have
made some very thorough eXamina-
tions of the records and find that il
was a common practice of the treas
urers to pocket interest on state
money and Cassil worked this harder
than any of his predecessors. Wis

he action against the Phillips es-
tate will be brought in Lawrence
county where it is being probated.
We have not as yet decided where the
other cases will be brought. We have
examined many bank officials while
n session this week, especially form
er and present officers of the Sioux
Falls Savings bank.
THE methods employed under the
present law" continued Mr.. Lyon,
of distributing the money among
the various banks throughout the
state where ii can be circulated
among the people that produce it is
splendid, while the old method of
sending the state funds out of the
state when it was needed here and
keeping the interest was outrageous
and handicapped the development OF
the state"
