N. & St. |. Wreck
Tues. Near Dawson
All of Train Derailed Except
Engine; Fortunately Only
Few Persons Injured

The M. & st. L. R. R. had an
other of those fortunate wrecks
Tuesday of this week, when No.
IA left the track about 3 miles
east of Dawson.
Passengers tell us that had
there been any grade there the
coaches must surely have been
overturned, but as the derail-
ment took place where the road
bed and right of way was level
the coaches merely punched and
were pushed aside. Several pas
sengers were catapulted over
the train seats ahead but for
tunately only three or four in
juries were reported. One was
lady with nose broken and
face injured, a man badly
bruised and another man with
knees injured.
AS near as can be ascertained
the tender left the rails first,
and it was followed by all the
coaches.
Train No. ID went west at
noon as far as Dawson and re-
turned at about 700 P. M. with
No. 14's passengers and train
crew. JOS. Thomas was engi-
neer, Mr.. Hesse conductor OF
the derailed train.
A wrecker was sent out and
trains are running fairly regu-
lar again.-Morton Enterprise.

Redwood Falls Car
Clashes With Ford


Foley And Hammer Car Com
pletely Demolished; One Man
Hurt in Collision
To have a large touring car
come out of a head-on collision
and present the appearance Of
having passed through a cyclone
describes only in a meager way
the appearance Of Clarence Fo-
ley's Cole sSix" after it had fig
ured in head-on collision with
a Ford Saturday night. The
touring car was simply reduced
to a worthless mass of bent and
broken iron, wrecked so badly
that repairs are out of the ques-
ton. The same condition ap-
plies to the Ford.
How It Happened
Clarence Foley, formerly ex-
pert repair man at l.. Kreiting-
er's garage in this city, and now
part owner of a garage at Red
wood Falls, was in this city Sun
day afternoon to view the re-
mains of his car, and from him
the writer secured particulars
of the accident.
The foreman of his shop, John
Rhodes, was driving the car, in
which were three other men,
their destination being Sanborn.
The accident happened about
two and a quarter miles from
that village on the state road.
Just before reaching this point
they observed headlight ahead
of them, in fact coming towards
them, and from a distance they
supposed it was a motorcycle
from it's zig-zag course on the
road. However, it proved to be
a Ford car with only the right
front light burning. the owner
and driver being Peter Iverson
of Window, with four other men
in the car. They had been doing
some work on the Cottonwood
grade south Of Lamberton, and
spent part Of Saturday in
Springfield. They were on their
way home to Window between
ten and eleven o'clock that night,
and they were taking the state
road route via Lamberton, which
/ accounts for them taking the
road they did.
/ One Injured
That the occupants of both
cars were not killed outright is
one of those unexplainable mi
racles that one sometimes reads
about in fiction, but which sell
dom occur in this life. The only
serious injury to result to any
of the parties was to Peter liver
son, who sustained a fractured
leg the other occupants of the
Ford car escaping injury. All of
the members of the Foley car
were more or less cut and bruised
about their faces. The top was
up and enclosed with the side
curtains. When the collision oc-
Cured all of the occupants were
thrown out Of the car, and when
the car left the road it turned
upside down.
Shortly after the accident a
telephone call to Sanborn
brought a relief car, in which
both motor parties were taken
to that village for medical treat
ment.
Cars Wrecked
The Foley car was towed to
this city Sunday afternoon and
placed in Kreitinger's garage,
where it attracted many spec
tators. To describe infinitely the |
damages would be almost inn
possible. It is such an insight
" mass Of wreckage that it
causes one to shudder to think
Of the miraculous and hair
breadth escape Of the occupants.
The radiator was torn off, the
front axel was badly bent and
broken in two places, one front
wheel was broken, the entire left |
side Of the car was stripped Of |
it's tenders and runningboard,

DEFENDS SIDEWALK SKATING,
Montclair Champion Says II Helps
Chiidren's Morals.

Montclair.-The controversy in this
town over the use OF the sidewalks.
which was started when Mrs. John
Haynes Lord protested TO the authori
ties because children were allowed to
use them for roller skating. bids fair
to become n community issue.
Mrs. Lord. who was injured by being
run down by a bicyclist on Il sidewalk
a few years ago. has many supporters.
Her attitude. however, is resented by
others. chief among whom is Arthur T..
Heyer. who was n candidate for town
commissioner al the last election.
Mr.. Heyer came out with another
broadside. He believes that the streets
could be made the greatest educational
asset of any community if the people
would look at the matter in the right
way. He says skating In the open air
makes children moral.

New York, Sept. Especial: The
battle arc from the Ancre river to
the Somme is rapidly being trans

German line, with the bases in front

French were compelled to face a vio-
lent attack, which was beaten off,
the Germans being thrown back in
disorder. according to Paris.
British gains included German
trenches on a front of 1000 yards
north of Flers and a strong redoubt
on a hill 1000 yards northeast of
Thiepval. Across the Ancre success
