LOCAL TRAVELLING
MEN ORGANIZE
Association Formed Last Sdtur-
day Evening Should Prove il
Beneficial.

An association that is bound to
mean a great deal. not only to the
members, but also to the city at large,
was formed last Saturday evening,
when some twenty travelling men. re-
siding in this city, met in the offices
Of the Central Life Company in the
Bank Of Willmar building. and banded
themselves together in an organiza-
tion.
The Willmar Travelling Mems Asso-
citation was the name agreed upon.
The officers elected were, Charles
r, ,fNallin, president, and Anton Bake,
secretary and treasurer. Charles
Rodeen, Charles G. Eckwall and John
Il. Leach were appointed committee
to draw up bylaws for the organiza-
ton.
'Wilmar Always" was chosen as a
motto. With each member adhering
closely to this motto. it is an assured
fact that Willmar is going to have
some of the finest publicity possible
in the future.
The object of the association, in ad-
alition to spreading abroad the fact
that Willmar is the finest little city
on the map, will be to promote the
social and commercial interests Of the
members. Also to cooperate with the
commercial bodies of the city, and in
a general way to boost the city.
After the organization is perfected
and everything working smoothly, the
plan is to have an occasional social
feature. There are in the neighbour
hood Of fifty travelling men, living in
this city, or making their headquarters
here, and they are urged to join the
new association.
Regular business meetings will be
held every other Saturday evening,
the next one to take place March H.

INVESTIGATION OF
FATAL ACCIDENT


We are indebted tozthe Pipestoaa
Star for the following account Of tho
investigation, it having appeard In
Tuesdays issue of that paper.
Did Tim Cronan Of Willuar, rear
brakeman on Great Northern freight
train No. 419, which was run down BY
Extra No. 18 near Sherman last We'd
nesday morning, use every precaution
in protecting the train by placing tor
pedos on the track before his train
left Sherman?
This is a question that Coroner Tre-
panier of Sioux Falls wishes Cronan
to answer, and because he was unable.
owing to injuries he received in the
collision, to appear before the coron-
er's jury last Friday, the Investigation
was continued until Wednesday of this
week. Men who were riding on the
engine of the extra state that if Cron-
an did place the torpedoes they did
not hear them explode as they passed
over them.
At the hearing Friday the evidence
went to show, that the conductors Of
both train No. 419 and No. 18, received
clearances at Pipestone which would
carry them to Garretson. Neither
train crew knew that another train
was running between Pipestone and
crew accepted its clearance received
reached Garretson.
Engineer Zero of the extra testified
that he did not see the caboose of No.
419 until moment before he crashed
into it. The accident happened on a
curve where there were deep banks
Of snow on each side Of the track.
The investigation will be resumed
tomorrow and it is believed that Mr..
Cronan can then give his testimony
before the jury.
Those who were injured in the
wreck are now recovering.
The Sioux Falls Press in speaking
of the hearing says that the testimony
given was composed pretty much of
"ifs" and to the "ifs" given at Sioux
Falls local railroader adds that "if''
the Great Northern's division had
have been located at 1hlen the coils
ion would not have occurred. Train
No. 419 would have been into hlen in
side the sixteen hour limit and Con
ductor O'Neiu would have; had his ca
boose load Of stockmen on sidina
there when Train No. 1S thundered IN.
Conductor Hansen and his men would
not have been mixed up with the af:
fairs of train No. 419 at all ON the day
Of the fatal accident.
c. M. Christensen, secretary Of the
Ruthton Shippers Association is feel.
ing very cheerful over the fact that
he let car Of stock go unaccompan.
led to Sioux City last Wednesday
morning. Mr.. Christensen had expect.
ed to accompany the stock to market
but changed his mind a short time
before the train left. Had he gone
with the stock he would have been in
the caboose with Conductor Hanson
Ronnfeldt and others when the extra
train plowed into 1t.
