It was done in the Wiliston way.
Which means that it was done in
manner that was highly creditable
to everyone connected with it. This
sums up the presentation of the

Council Knights of Columbus at the
Armory Saturday night.
A large attendance greeted the To-
cal cast which had been we'll drilled
by Tom Lennon for several weeks.
The plav is one that is enjoyed by
any real American, bringing out the
Yankee character in trouble and
bringing home the traits of the Amer

or Yokahoma. -.
The entire performance was so we'll
done that it is difficult to praise any
individual. Thomas Hogan carried
the star role in the male characters
and again proved that he is one Of
the best amatuers in this vicinity. His
work was noticeable because he had
a big part, but Joe Lavelle, J. W. Ho-

KENNETH IRWIN
KILLED IN G. NJ
FREIGHT I WRECK
WILL1STON BOY CRUSHED TO
DEATH UNDER ENGINE
LAST FRIDAY
FUNERAL HERE TUESDAY
SEVERAL OTHERS BADLY M
JURED- ED-ENGINEER SULLIVAN
IN HOSPITAL
FUNERAL HERE TUESDAY

In a rear end collision on the Great
Northern at Brockton early FfldGy
morning, Kenneth Irwin of this city
was almost instantly killed when he
was crushed by the big engine which
had turned completely around after
II collided with the rear end Of a
freight train and left the track.
Irwin was conscious only about
thirty minutes SITTER the wreck O.
CURED and it was clearly evident when
he was taken from the wreck that he
was beyond human MD. Engineer
Sullivan suffered a broken leg and
internal injuries. And Brakeman Heine
and Remongton suffered severe though
not serious injuries ut the same time.
All Of the injured were taken to a
Glasgow hospital and reports from
there today indicate that Mr.. Suln-
van is recovering.
Cause Unknown
What caused the wreck is not known
at this time and probably will not be
determined until the Investigation by
G. N. Officials.
" Both trains were east bound
freights. The first in charge of Con-
ductor Bergeron and Engineer Geo.
Mclean, had stopped on the main
line at Brockton to take water. The
second train, in charge Of Conductor
Harry Aune and Engineer Sullivan,
and running at an average speed,
plowed through the first trains ca
boose, a dead head train crews ca
boose and ten cars of merchandise.
Only kindling wood is left of the cars
and the contents are scattered far
and wide. The big 1900 engine left
the track and turned completely
around, facing west. The track was
uniniured but several hours were re-
quired to clear the wreck for the pas
sage of trains.
The body of Kenneth Irwin was
brought here Saturday morning and
taken to the home of his mother, Mrs.
Florence M. Irwin.
Kenneth Irwin was one 'of the best
known young railroad men making
Williston his home. Since his faith
er died some three years ago he has
been the support and comfort of his
mother. For time he was foreman
of the round house at Glasgow and
also has held responsible positions in
the Williston round house, for man
of his age. He graduated from the
Williston high school with the 1911
class and was held in high esteem by
fellow students as we'll as by teach
erS.
A consoling feature is that the
young man carried $4,000 insurance
in the Ancient Order Of United Work
men of which he was member for
several years. He was also affiliated
with the railway brotherhood organ
izations to which he was entitled and
was one of the more prominent young
er members of the Socialist party. His
age was 25 years and his birthplace
Nora Springs. Iowa.
The funeral was held at the Lyric
Theatre Tuesday afternoon and was
attended by a large number Of fellow
workers, and friends Of the family.

WANT SUNDAY TRAINS

Fairview Tribune: J. H. Calder
head, of Cartwright, has been ap-
pointed secretary of the State Rail-
road Commission, and now we would
suggest that he use his influence to
secure Sunday train service on this
line. This is not asking too much
when it is considered that this line
does big business that warrants a
daily train service. The people Of the
Plentywood branch are out for daily
train service and have all but been
promised it., so why not the cities
and towns on the Snowden, Fairview,
Sidney and Watford City branch have
as good train, service as the people
on the Plentywood line. Mr.. Calder
head, let's go after better service for
our line.

roads which are testing the CRATES are
the Oregon Short Line, Nashville,

this is the reason for their extended
