The most shocking accident that has
ever taken place on this division of
the Northwestern in many years hap
pened Saturday morning, June 9Th,
when Erick Erickson, section foreman
at Candy was run over and instantly
killed by a gravel train engaged in fill
ing the washout on the line three miles
east of Candy. Mr.. Erickson was one
of those jealous foremen whose inter
est in their work overshadow personal
interest and safety and in his hurry to
get the necessary work done took
chances on crossing the track &C.
c~asionally when most men would have
loafed around until trains were out
of the way and at a safe distance. At
this time he wanted to cross to the
other side of the train, under which
the crew was filling in gravel, and
started to crawl across, but before
reaching the other side, the engineer
backed up the train and crushed him.

are shown by the starting of new

start new institutions in all parts
of Minnesota.

banks have been chartered. Since
the first of the year sixty-four banks
were authorized to do business The
number of banks chartered each
month has been from seven to ten.
The average has been well maintain

During August nine state banks

The total capitalization of the
sixty-four banks started this year is
