Bismarck, Feb. 21.-Carl Olson, in.
ventor of the safety steel rail, is free
after IL years servitude for first de-
gree murder. Olson appeared before

fidence was reposed in him more than
in any other inmate. He worked out

LOST HIS MEMORY

Minot, Feb. 21.-F. L. Nelson was
knocked down by a runaway team.
When he arrived at the office after the
accident, he was seen to pay the cab
bic and then entered the office, where
he was asked what had happened. He
had a considerable amount of collec.
tions and while his memorandum
showed where these had been made,
he was unable to recall anything in
connection with them. He was not in.
jured in any manner and in few
hours had completely recovered his
normal condition.
Just what happened is of course un-
known and just how the mental shock
which produced the temporary lapse
Of memory was brought about is like
wise unknown. Such instances are
rather common but there is always
some physical injury. 1t seems likely
In such manner as to produce a
slight conclusion Of the brain but not
in such manner as to leave any Wis,
ible evidences.

Only miracle saved one Northern
Pacific railroad engineer from death.
He was driving Train No. eastward

Crash, and the whole side of the
engine cab, where he had been a few
seconds before, was whisked away.
A freight train had been derailed
and the wrecker was clearing up
debris. The main line track was clear

derrick NEIL of the wrecker swung the
big steel crane.
It tore off the passenger trains en-
CINE cab, part of the roof of the ex-
press car, and pounded holes through
the roofs of practically every other
car of the train. Not single person
was injured, but the train was delay.

MAN IS BADLY BURNED

Hettinger, Feb. 21.-Noah Hillet, liv-
ing near Haynes was badly burned in
an explosion. He was starting his
pumping engine, and finding it too cold
to start readily, he poured gasoline
In and around it with the intention of
lighting it to heat the engine. Unfor-
tunately while pouring the gasoline on
the engine he turned the fly wheel un-
til the ignition system came in con-
tact which caused an explosion which
burned his hands and face quite sever
ely. He probably would not have been
burned so badly had he been able to
leave the building Immediately after
the explosion, but the door knob on
the inside of the building was missing
thus causing some little time to elapse
before he was able to open the door.
Mr.. Millet is improving nicely how
ever, and will soon be about his regu-
lar duties.
