to be gathered, Fireman Shepherd
lived in Havre, Maravis in Chinook,
and Hoppe in Havre. The bodies of
the engineer and fireman were re-
moved to Clayton's undertaking rooms
by Judge Gordon, who tried to reach
Coroner Johnson with reference to
an inquest but did not succeed today.
The wrecked engine was wonder
full demonstration of the power of
steam The noise of the explosion
was not loud but the air conclusion
Jared buildings half mile distant.
1t was evident to those who heard the
sound that an explosion had occurred.
The great cloud of steam that arose
told the rest of the story. George
Torrell, proprietor Of the Arcade, and
railroad men who were eating at his
place, were among the first to arrive
and helped to remove the injured men
from the wreck.
A Steam Explosion
The reason Of the explosion is not
clearly established, so far as known.
But the rumors that it was caused
by dynamite placed in the coal are
proven baseless by the appearance
of the wreck. The crown sheet,
which is the roof of the fire box, with
fire below it and water above, was
forced down ward and torn from the
400 great rivets, each an inch in
diameter that held it in place. This
proves that steam did the work as an
explosion in the firebox would have
forced the crown sheet upward.
A man living just north of the
tracks and near the scene says he
heard the injector of the engine start
and the explosion followed in a few
seconds.
The boiler, fire box and upper part
of the cab were lifted from the trucks
and fairly somersaulted, falling on
the track with the front Of the boiler
Just at the cowcatcher and the cab
the length of the engine to the west.
The tank and tender remained intact.
When the boiler came down on the
track the steam dome struck the south
rail squarely, breaking it like piece
Of kindling, crushing the ties to
shreds and making a hole in the hard
road like bushel basket. The broken,
twisted mass or iron was mute evil
dence of the truth of the assertion,
sometimes made, that the power of
steam has not been measured.
Hundreds viewed the wreck and ex-
pressions of sympathy for the vic
TINS and the bereaved relatives were
many.

One of the most vital problems con-
fronting the American people today is
the necessity of supplying our allies
with something TO eat. Europe is short
of food She must have bread and but
ter. Millions Of bushels of wheat, as
well as huge quantities of beef. pork,
sugar and dairy products are actually
needed. II the world is to be made
safe for democracy, America must come
to the rescue of those who fight for us
and with us--WlTH FOOD.
Fl erbert Hoover, United states food
administrator, says it can be done if
every true American will eat less of
these particular foods and more of 9TH
er foods Of which we have an abund-
ance but which cannot be shipped a
long distance, and to waste less of all
foods.
In order to get an expression Of faith
from the Twenty-Five million families
who purchase and consume food daily.
that each family will do everything in
It's power to conserve the food of Amer
lea that the allies may have enough to
eat, both on the battle field and at
home, the United States food admin
isrrator has launched nation wide
food pledge campaign.
The campaign will open on Sunday
morning. October 21st and close Sum
day night October 28th. Every house,
wife in America will be asked to sign

and accepts membership in the United
States food administration, pledglng
hersr' a4.3 s.Iry out the directions and
advice OF the food administration in
her home, insofar as her circumstances
will permit. No fees, no dues, no con-
tribu tions are asked. just signature
with address), that Is an evidence OF
loyalty to support the splendid effort OF
the food administration.
North Dakota has a sacred and 4
special duty to perform In this great
food conservation movement. During
the week of October 21st every family
In the whole state will be asked to sign
food pledge card which Is a promise
to the federal government that North
Dakota IL squarely behind the nation
and the allies. No state In the union
is so distinctly agricultural. With the
one exception Of sugar. every product
necessary to feed our fighting friends
across the sea--whcat, beef, pork and
dairy products--is raised on our farms.
If we just try, 1t will not be difficult
to conserve and send larger quantities
Of tn ese foods to Europe. We produce
what they need. In other words, II
every housewife of the $4,000 families
in our state will do her utmost in saw
ing something daily, in substituting
wherever possible the amount con-
served will be extra large.
