WRECK on THE MILwAUKEE
Two Engines Came Together at Chan
ming Water Tank Last Tuesday

What might have been a very ser
ious wreck occurred at the water
tank. two miles south of Charming,
last Tuesday morning about FIVE o.
clock lone engine was sent down
to the tank to get water and through
some oversight, no protection was
given II against oncoming trains
The Green Bay freight came thun-
dering along from Sagola not sus-
pecting any occupation Of the track.
The men IN the lone engine were not
aware Of the presence OF the freight
until the latter was about three car
lengths iom them and the freight
crew was equally unwarned All OF
the men managed 10 get away but the
fireman on the lone engine who was
injured quite severely
The wrecking train was sent down
from Claiming and started to pick
up the wreck The lone engine had
been thrown across the track but the
freight engine was not greatly inIur-
ed One fiat car was broke in two In
the middle. BY fast work the engine
was placed on the track by 1000 o.
clock and the entire debris cleared
away by 1O;3O so that the passenger
train which was held at SagoIa got
by
The wreck at the tank was the third
one on the st Paul within week,
a car OF logs got away near Twin
Falls on Saturday night and log
train was wrecked near Pembine on
Sunday night SO that the wrecking
crews have been the busiest unit OF
the working force OF the Superior
division this week

TO MAKE TRUCK WORK
Seagraye Company Sent an Expert
Here TO Take Charge OF Machine

Mr.. Burton. an expert motor man
in the employ OF the Seagrave Com
pany, arrived in Crystal Falls last
Monday to take hold of the fire truck
and make Il perform according "a
contract lie took the machine out
and tried to operate it in the snow
but found that he was unable 10 do
SO. After a careful study OF condi-
tions he made his report TO his com
pany and Is now awaiting the arrival
OF parts which he says are necessary
to put on in order to climb the hills in
the snow
In conversation with a reporter
for The Diamond Drill Mr. Burton
stated that the conditions that exist
here are practically new TO his COM
pany; that the most Of the cars they
have sold have been to cities where
the hills and snow combined are not
IN evidence. Here the two come to.
gether and make new proposition
and an extremely difficult one
In Mr. Burton's opinion the low and
intermediate gears on the seagraye
truck are too speedy for the load
which the engine has to pull on roads
like ours and as a result the car will
not propell itself in the snow lie
says that when he gets through with
the car he guarantees that the wheels
will spin
Mr. Bryson who was listening to
the conversation, cut in with the
statement that It is necessary for the
wheels to do more than spin" in
order to be OF service to this city;
that in his opinion adequate traction
accessories are just as necessary to
make the car a success here as the
reduction OF the gear ratio.
II seems that the chains are too
light for the load that they have 10
carry and that they break as soon as
a hard pull comes on them. Mr.. Bry-
son thinks that If the chains were
made stronger so that they would be
able to hold up against the immense
pressure upon them that they would
answer the purpose.
The Seagraye people seem to be
determined TO make the machine do
the work that they said it would do
Mr.. Burton says that the conditions
existing here right now are ideal TO
work upon and if he can overcome
them, as he feels certain he can,
big problem will be solved for other
places similarly situated.

LOCAL MEN HEROES
VIII Rein and Ed. Bregger Receiving
Much Praise for Wreck Work

VIII Rein and Ed. Bregger Receiving
Much Praise for Wreck Work
Passengers on the wrecked Milwau-
kee train last Wednesday night are
loud in praise OF the woik done by
VIII Rein and Bd Bregger in res
cuing passengers from the overturned
coaches. Father Kunes. who was one
OF the worst injured in the lot, cannot
say too much in praise Of the work OF
the entire crew and especially Of the
two local men
The wreck occurred at a siding
called Arbutus a short distance this
side OF Pembine Evidently a rain
broke after the locomotive, mail. bag
gage and smoker had passed for every
ear>back OF those went into the ditch,
most OF them going bottom up.
The bank is high at that point so
that the coaches had to roll eight or
ten feet TO land in the ditch. The train
was stopped remarkably quick tho
smoker not having gone more than
train length when stopped Luckily
but a light passenger list was aboard
that night and when all had been got
out Of the wreck they could be loaded
into the smoker and baggage car.
Another lucky feature was that the
wreck occurred at siding SO that
traffic was not stopped, the other
trains passing on the side track.
Mr. Rein was in the smoking COM
partment of the Chicago sleeper all
alone when the train left the track
He had been visiting with an Iron
Mountain man most of the way from
Charming and after reaching that
place remained in the compartment
reading his paper He intended TO go
to Pembine on his way to Rhinelander.
The train was in charge OF Conduct
or Havey Conductor Bonn was also
aboard on his way home and render
ed good service in helping 20 extri-
cate the imprisoned passengers.
Luckily no fire started and in good
time all were rescued with no one
badly injured.

OSTERBERG TO RESUME
Business VIII be Started by Local
Merchant on Changed Plan Soon

Last week we made mention Of the
fact that hte Osterberg store had been
closed voluntarily by Mr. Osterberg
who decided to suspend business un-
I'll his. creditors might be apprised
of his condition and some basis Of
adjustment might be arrived at.
The sole reason for the suspension
OF business by this firm is the fact that
during the depressed times Mr.. Oster
berg had extended to his customers a
line OF credit that left him with a
greatly increased book account item.
So many OF his customers being out
OF work, il was next to impossible TO
realize upon these accounts and to
save further drifting into the difficult,
Mr. osterberg took the step he did.
Every one OF his creditors, when
apprised OF the condition. expressed
themselves as not only willing but
anxious 20 give him an opportunity
TO realize and II his neighbors in Crys-
tai Falls will be as considerate OF him
and pay up the accounts as fast as
they can do so, Mr. osterberg will
come out OF the position he found
himself in with fairly satisfactory
result
Every effort will be made by Mr.
Osterbere to realize upon the assets
lac holds and as fast as they are real
lied upon the business will be adjust
ed.
He will resume business az once
and, IN conversation with a Diamond
Drill reporter he expressed himself
as having In mind a change 70

ASKS A NEW DEPOT
Rnmored That the NV Has Made
Agreement for Alpha Service

A petition asking that the c. & n
w company erect a new passenger
station in this city was circulated by
Il b. Webb and Ben Neely last Thurs
day. The paper was freely signed by
the business men and residents in
general
II Is said that the North Western
company has changed it's plans for
handling of the Alpha traffic and that
arrangements have been made by
that system with the st. Paul for tho
use OF the tracks OF the latter between
the Dunn and the Tobin mines In
stead of building a new cut-off, il is
rumored that the old tracks will be
used with an occasional change so as
to get around the mining properties
II this rumor proves to be true, ii
is quite probable that the trains will
be running via the Tobin by the mid
die Of the summer This would mean
a station up town unless the com
pany changes its plans and insists
on using the old station. The paper
was circulated with tile idea that a
new station is to be built.

a CURIOUS CASE
john Davis OF Grand Rapids Has
Black Small POx

John Davis OF Grand Rapids Has
Black Small Pox
Items have appeared in the state
papers saying that two cases Of small
pox were discovered at Grand Rapids
traceable to Crystal Falls The cases
prove to be those OF Mr.. and Mrs.
John Davis who visited with Mrs.
Davis parents, Mr. and Mrs Eli Massie
about the holidays.
The curious part of the affair is
yet to be told though Last summer
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis visited Crystal
Falls, driving up in their car and
while here they contracted the chick
Ell pox, or as the claim is now, small
pox. They had the same disease that
the other people of Crystal Falls had
They recovered and went back to
Grand Rapids.
Then came their visit OF last Christ
mas, four months after their first trip
here and their recovery from the di-
sease, and It is followed with severe
case of small pox, or as the physi-
clans term IL, BLACK small pox." The
case is puzzle to the medical profes,
sion here and elsewhere and is caus-
ing much comment.
