DAKOTA CENTRAL
TRAIN DESTROYED
Goes Through Bridge Near
Thomas and Takes Fire
Physicians Called From
WATERFOWL.

Watcrtown, S. D., March 4.-The Da-
kota Central passenger train, which
left here at 6:C0 this morning, due to
arrive in Sioux Falls at 11:10 a. M.
went through a bridge at Thomas, 10
miles south of WATERFOWL.
All three coaches of the train were
destroyed by fire and two passengers
are known to have been killed. One of
these has been identified as David
LoVejoy, mail agent, residing at Water
town. The other is believed to be +. e.
Dooling, a salesman, of Denver.
There are about half a dozen pas
sengers who suffered fairly serious in
iuries, but it is claimed that none Of
these cases is likely to result fatally.
The train consisted of engine, mail
car and two passenger coaches. The
engine and mail car had passed over
the bridge when the structure sudden
ly gave way. AS the passenger coaches
dropped into the gulch, the mail car
was taken with them, breaking loose
from the engine.
Fire quickly broke out, originating
from the car stoves, and all of the
woodwork on the cars soon was in
flames.
Physicians were by wire
from WATERFOWL n a special relief
train was made up here as soon as
possible and sent to the scene of the
wreck.
Among those seriously injured are:
Bob Maxwell. engineer; w. J. Bum,
fireman; -- Burgess, express mes
scnger.
The weakening Of the bridge by fire
is believed to have been the cause Of
the accident, it Is so feet high at the
point where the train went off. 1t is
said that the fire on the bridge proba-
bly, was started by the passenger train
which passed over the evening before.
The gulch where the train dropped
through was 26 feet deep. The con-
tents of the baggage and mail car We're
consumed with these cars.
Passengers and trainmen had to stand
by and see Lovejoy and Dooling burned,
as the heat was too intense to permit
their rescue. Engineer Robert Maxwell,
Fireman w. j. Dunn and Gaggageman
Burgess, all of Watertown, We're more
or less injured. Mail Agent Lovejoy
had been in the service for 30 years.
Engineer Maxwell is an old Milwaukee
engineer.
The train was going 30 miles an hour

HA|SELDEN SAYS
BABY MILL. LIVE
Doctor Makes Volunteer Trip
From Chicago to See Baby
Which Caused Furore
In Des Molnes.

Des Moines, Ia. March 6.-"Mrs.
Cleveland. have come To tell you that
your baby win get Well DR.. II. j.
Haiselden, chief OF staff in the Ger
man-American hospital of Chicago, who
for humanitarian reasons. permitted
Baby Boliinger to die, hurried from the
Methodist hospital today to take the
glad tldlngs TO the anxious mother who
awaited his verdict in a lonely room

mother asked.
Mo- he replied, she will be normal
in every respect
Mrs. Cleveland did not attempt to
thank the Chicago physician who came
to DeS DIN at his own expense to
see the child whom she asked the po-
lice to kill a few days ago. She just
looked at him in a kind of beWildered
manner as though she We're dreaming.
She wiped a tear from her eye and
gazed out of the window as the doc
tor left the room.
Although DR.. Haiselden referred to
his reception here as extremely cor
dial" he had difficulty in locating even
one physician out of the dozen or more
h a We're in the hospital when he ar
rived in a ear with newspaper men.
For nearly 10 minutes he waited in the
iNSl L liiC VI LIZ IN -
G. Hurin. the superintendent, was en-
gagged. Several physicians passed the
waiting doctor in the hall as he stood
there awaiting permission to see the
Cleveland baby whose father asked the
police, Thursday, to end its life.
Finally the superintendent stepped
into the hall and invited DR.. Haiselden
into the office. A nurse escorted the
visiting physician and newspapermen
to the ward in which defective infants
are kept. DR.. Haiselden walked over
to the little white bed and removed a
sheet that covered the head of the I'M
fortunate infant. He examined the baby
carefully for several minutes and close
ly questioned the nurse in charge of
the ward. Finally he said: This baby
not only will live. but it should live.
From the viewpoint of the physician
this case ism so bad. 1t will be a long
tedious affair. of course. l think the
local doctors are absolutely justified
in doing all they can in this case. The
physician who would refuse to operate
in a case like this would be a disgrace
to the medical profession. The brain
development may be slow, but the case
is worth while. and l believe there is a
big opportunity to do good in this in
stance.
