Man Killed
Falls From Moving Train on The
Minneapolis 4 st. Louis
Near Troy

Coroner Flett was called to
Troy last Tuesday to take charge
OF the body of man who fell
from a train while riding the
blind baggage. The man was
a stranger in the locality, but
had an identification card on his
person, which stated that he
was Y. Il. Bailey of Sioux City.
The coroner took the affidavit
OF {. }. Lindgren, the station
agent at Strandburg, who had
talked with the man when the
latter was at Strandberg for
couple OF days before he took
his fatal ride, and also secured
the evidence of two boys who
had seen the man board the
blind baggage at Strandburg
when the train left that station.
In talking with the man, Mr..
Llndgren said he had told him
that he was looking for work,
and as he was somewhat lame in
one OF his arms he claimed that
he had been wounded while in
the navy, but this was probably
fiction. The train left Troy about
5:O5 and he fell from the cars
a few minutes afterward. A.
+. johnson, the section foreman
noticed something peculiar on
the track after the train had
passed and investigation dis
covered the dismembered body,
which was badly cut up, and
had been dragged along the
track for about 50 yards. Five
cents was found in his pockets
and the Identification card. Word
was telegraphed to the address
on this card and the mans
mother, Mrs. Lucien Bailey, ar
river here Wednesday. She
was without money to bury the
body and appealed to the county
commissioners to do this, the
remains having been brought to
the Emanuel undertaking estab.
lishment in this city. The un-
fortunate man was in the 33d
year of his age.

vely suddenly in Wilmot last

complaining of sickness of

he did not think Of it as anything
serious nor did his friends. With
his partner in business, Mr..
Sullivan and the latter's father,
he boarded the 80 train Mon
day morning, intending to go to
Slsseton, but his stomach trouble
became so bad that his friends
insisted that he get off the train
at Wilmot and visit a doctor. and
IN company with Mr.. Sullivan 5
father he did SO, but he died
from heart failure a few moments
after the tram had pulled out
from the depot, and his partner
telephoning from Peever asking
about how he was received word
that he was dead.
Word was forwarded to under
taker Emanuel to bring the re-
mains 10 this city, where they
were prepared for burial. and in
charge of partner of the deceas-
ed man they were forwarded to
Superior, Neb., for interment.
The deceased man was 45 years
Of age and his home was in Su.
perior, Neb., where his wife re-
sides, and he also has a brother
at Fremont, Iowa, and at Mus
catine, Iowa He was men,
Der of the odd Fellows and
Patriarch Militant of the order,
and was also an Elk. A number
Of the Odd Fellows of the city
escorted the remains from the
undertaking establishment to
the train Tuesday morning. All
our people who had met the de-
ceased man in a business or
social way speak of him as a
particularly kindly appearing
man, Of jovial, social nature.
His partner, Mr.. Sullivan,
wishes US to state that all the
business contracts of the de-
ceased man will be fully fulfilled
as agreed to by him, and that
the business in which they were
engaged will be carried on just
the same as if he were alive. Due
notice will be given of the time

The Fighting Germans


Despite the official care given
in censorship and the close su-
pervision Of the photography by
military authorities, one forbid
den scene has crept into "The
Fighting Germans the motion
pictures Of real war to be ex-
hibited at the Bentley Grand
Theatre, Thursday, July 20.
Great numbers have seen that
thrilling scene. 1t is a close up
OF a 3O.5 Skoda gun. one Of tho
heaviest pieces of ordinance ever
made and rival for the great
weapons which leveled the forti-
tications Of Belgium on the west
ern front.
Real effort was made some
time ago to have the Z. s. govern
ment suppress these pictures.
but the plain was without avail
Several attempts have also been
made to recall the negative and
take the print out Of circulation,
but this has also been impossi
bic.
These scenes in "The Fighting
Germans. which were brought
here will be shown at the Bent
ley Grand, July Goth.
Vivid. close views of what has
happened in the desperate con-
tiicts along the German-Russian
border are presented in "The
Fighting Germans. " This is the
title Of a tive-reel special release
from the Mutual Film Corpora
ton.
The picture intimately por-
trays Germany at war, glving g
glimpses Of life on, in front Of
and behind the battle lines.
The great guns, the Zeppeline,
the fast flying aeroplanes, miles
of war hardened, marching men
and the desperate hand-to hand
trench rushes are shown.
It is hardly necessary to say
that these pictures were taken
with the knowledge and consent
of the German military authori-
ties They are official war re
cords, taken by A. K. Dawson,
an intrepid New York photo
grapher, who volunteered for the
service.
This official sanction has given
the films material which could
not have been obtained in any
other circumstances.
The Kaiser is seen on the fir
ing line-close up.
The Crown Prince is shown in

Much of the action presented
in these five thrilling reels took
place about the fortified village
of Ivangorod. In fact so much

photography the progress Of a

The photography is particular

trying and perilous conditions
under which it was done. Be.
cause Of the official approval of
the films. it has been possible to
secure unusual manufacturing
advantages in the production Of
the prints in the use of German
dyes and chemicals The prints
of THE Fighting Germans are
exquisitely tinted without re-
gard to the expense and scarcity
Of the colors required. The
Germans and the Berlin Aniline
Works are seeing to it that "The

finished product up TO German
standards of Photographic ex
cellence.

The editor wishes to make q
correction for which the printer
was responsible in the article
from FIR. r..O'Neill two weeks ago,
and to which our attention has
been called. At the close of the
article it read: "The Catholics
will go as far as their fathers
went for people who hate them"
The words should have read.
"The Catholics will go as there
fathers went to fight for people
who hate them.
While the correction may not
be of great Importance, we want
to keep the records as straight
as possible, because the Herald
Advance has received criticism
from both sides during the con.
troversy.
However, as both champions have
now had q full hearing it looks as
if the question could well be
dropped as newspaper discus
sion before our correspondents
get too acrimonious in their de-
bate. Neither the Guardians
nor FIR. O'Neill appear to have .
child-like love for each other,
and even wordy combat can be
carried on sometimes without
profit to the community, pertic-
ularly after the main facts have
been presented by both sides.

The first self-propelled freight barge designed to carry heavy cargoes of freight on the Mississippi river, is wis iting all the large cities from St. Louis to New Orleans. It is known as Inco I. and is the first of s9,0OO,0O0 fleet being built.
 The barge is 43 feet wide, 24O feet long and is propelled by four S0-horse- power gasoline engines. It has a capacity of 1,600 tons. It is believed the new type of barge will revolution ize freight traffic on the Mississippi river Similar barges have been put in operation recently on the Warrior riv- CT, in Alabama, hauling coal to the sea- board at an extremely low rate.
