ONEDEAD; TWO
INJURED WHEN
CAR HITS TRAIN
On Way to Christmas Pro
gram, Auto Is Crushed
Near Bismarck.

Bismarck, N. D.. Dec. 27.-En
route to some Christmas festivities,
Bert Bendickson. Sigford johnson and
Miss Judith johnson ran down
by a, southbound 500 line passenger
train two miles south Of Max on We'd
nesday evening, and Bendickson was
instantly killed, while Sigford John
son sustained a fractured leg, and
Miss johnson was badly bruised and
cut about the head.
The southbound 500 train left Max
about two hours late. The only ex-
PLANTATION that has been given Of the
accident is that Johnson, who was
driving, must have overlooked the
fact that the train was running be-
hind time, and, thinking that it had
gone through on schedule neglected
the usual precautions before driving
onto the track. Mr.. Johnson stated
Immediately after the accident that
a binding drift of snow had prevent
ed him from seeing the headlight of
the approaching train.
The engineer stopped within a few
cars length Of the crossing, backed
up and picked up the dead man and
his injured associates, with whom the
train proceeded to Garrison. Here
the remains of Bendickson were
placed in the custody of a coroner,
while first aid attention was given
the injuries Of the Johnsons. The lat
ter were then brought on to Bismarck
where they were transferred from the
train to st. Alexius hospital:
All the principals in this Christmas
tragedy are we'll known farming folk
of northern Mclean county. The
Johnsons have lived within 200 yards
of the 500 tracks for years, and have
daily used this fatal. crossing.

newspaper gives as the principal rea.
son for the substitution of tight fit

turesque western headgear the fact
that the wide brim of the latter casts
a shadow over the trench periscope
and for the further reason that the
hats are cumbersome. unwieldy and
easily lost in a charge.
Major Wright has also mailed DR..

President Wilson'S last message to

STEVENSON
INTRODUCES
BILL TO OPEN
INDIAN LANDS
1t Would Give Soldiers and
Sailors Right to Settle
in Minnesota.

Washington, Dec. 27.- Congress
mar STEVENSON yesterday introduced
a bill to open Minnesota coded Indian
lands to soldiers and sailors for home
steads. In an interview he said there
are large areas of coded Indian lands
in Minnesota which. under an old law,
are classified pine lands" but upon
which little if any timber stands. I'm
der the existing law, after an estimate
and appraisal, the timber has been
offered five or six times during the
last twenty years, but lumbermen
have not bid on it because, apart from
the land, it is of little value. Steen-
erson's bill directs the secretary of the
interior to forthwith estimate and ap-
praise the timber and open the land to
settlement upon payment Of the value
Of the timber in addition to s1.25 per
acre, to be paid to the Indians as pro-
vided by law, payments to be made in
five annual installments in accordance
with the provisions of the original act,
and also hat honorably discharged
soldiers and sailors shall have a right
to count the time of their military
service as residence upon the land,
provided they reside on and cultivate
the land at least one year before pat
emf is issued.

TO TRAIN MEN
0BEFARMERS
Canadian Authorities Have
Plan to Teach Soldiers
How to Till Soil.

Calgary, Alta, Dec. 27.-Plans for
the education Of returned soldiers in
farm work, and the views of the gov
eminent in obtaining land for the
veterans were fully outlined here by
DIR. w. J.. Black of Ottawa, chairman
of the soldier settlement board, who
is making a tour of the west.> In the
first place, said DR.. Black, red tape
will be eliminated as far as possible
In dealing with the men.
The general plan of the govern
ment is to give each returned man
100 acres of land, with a loan of
$4,000, repayable over twenty years,
but this is conditioned upon the men
going on the land.
1t is proposed to start curses Of
practical instruction at once, such as
in operation at the Guelph agricul-
tural college in Ontario. Another will
be opened at the agricultural college
in Winnipeg in January, and similar
courses will be instituted at the Nc
Donald institute near Montreal. and
at Truro, Nova Scotia; also at Saska-
toon and Edmonton.
One Of the features of the plan is
the establishment Of a qualification
committee in agriculture. Soldiers
who desire settlement privileges un-
der the act must come before the COM
mittee which will decide whether they
have had sufficient training OF knowl.
edge to go on the land. In the case
Of experienced farmers, they will be
allowed to go before the loan board
at once, and in the cas- of those who
have had no training and know moth
ing of farming, an intensive and very
practical course will be provided.
The men will be drilled on each
separate part of farm work, such a:
handling and care of horses, the ust
of agricultural machinery, milking O.
cows, etc.
The work will be taught them will
1.-THE same thoroughness that they wer'
taught to drill and handle a rifle il
the army. They will spend twelv'
weeks at this instruction and then b.
sent out with a farmer for a seasol
to get instruction or the farm.
1t was the first intention of tn
government to allot the soldier
crown lands, but inspection prove'
that most of these are too far from
railways. AS a consequence, the gov
eminent is making plans for the pur
chase and appropriation of larg
. areas of vacant and speculative land
near railways for the purpose.

STATE CAPITOL
D0LLEDU UP FOR
LEGISLATORS
Session Rooms Rernodeled
Almost Beyond Rec
ognition.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 27.-Prepar-
ations are fast being completed at the
capitol for the converting of the six
teenth legislative assembly, which will
open at noon Monday, January 6.
The council Of defense has temper
arily vacated the rooms Il. has occu-
pied or the fourth floor Of the state
house to make a place for. the SUI
preme court, which uses the house
chamber for its hearings when the
legislature is not in session. The
house and senate chambers have I'M
they present a very agreeable appear
ance. Old timers in the senate will
hardly recognize the chamber this
year. Thirty-lve hundred dollars has
been invested in a new carpet, new
curtains and retinting. The archaic
chandeliers, originally designed for oil
lamps, have been replaced by modern
indirect lighting fixtures, and the
room which has in past sessions re-
sembled a drafty barn, has been
caulked and anchored down to a point
where it is much more comfortable.
In appearance the senate chamber
now vies with the house, which has
always been a most attractive apart
ment. u
w. J. Prater. secretary of the SEN
ate, and who will also act as secretary
of the employment committee, already
has a list Of applicants for Legislative
positions Of sufficient size to supply
all the help that possibly could be
used by the next ten sessions.
Howard r. Wood. sol of F. b
Wood Of Deering, will o over from
the house to the senate as presiding
officer, succeeding Lieut.. Gov. A. T,
Kraable Of Clifford, one Of the veter-
ans Of the senate. There appears tc
be little interest in the choice of a
speaker, a matter which probably will
be fairly we'll cut and dried before the
legislators reach Bismarck. It is
understood that E. A. Bowen of the
league Offices at St. Paul will AGAR
act as chief clerk of the house, anc
that Prater will succeed himself as
secretary of the senate. William
Lemke and Arthur LeSueur, legal ad'
visors on Townley's board Of directors
at st. Paul, are expected to remain
here during the session, directing the
deliberations Of the secret caucus
Dave Coates, parliamentarian for thu
league in the last assembly, probabl,
will not be here, but Anthony Waltor
Of Minot, although defeated for re
election to the house, Will be here
