Accident Occurred South of Barks-
dale last Evening at 6:3O o'clock.
Passenger Train Crashed Into Work Train
Coming from Ashland.
Forgot Orders.
Number 8

| A serious wreck occurred on
the short line between Ashland
and Washburn last evening at
6:3O O'Clock when the passenger
train from this city crashed into
a work train coming from Ash
land. The wreck occurred on
the curve about a mile south of
the Barksdale station.
Bert Chase, son of Conductor
and Mrs. w. E. Chase of Ash
land, received injuries which re-
suited in his death at the ASH
hospital last evening at 9:15 o.
clock. Aside from a few others
who were slightly shaken up he
was the only one injured.
Young Chase was riding in
the baggage car Of the passenger
train and when the crash came
box Of fish struck him across
the stomach and injuring him
so badly that he died a few
hours afterwards. The engineer
and fireman Of both trains
jumped before the engines came
together and thus escaped in
jury.
The cabs of both engines were
demolished and the passenger
coaches were also twisted and
broken in places. 1t seems al
most miracle that others were
not injured in the crash.
The passenger train leaving
this city at 6:15 had orders to
stop on the main line and await
the work train coming from
Ashland, the stopping point was
the siding about a mile the other
side of the Barksdale station.
and the work train was to run
into this siding and let the pass
enger train pass. Conductor
Chase did not know that The
stopping point had been passed
as he was busy taking up tickets
and Engineer Wilson and Fire
man Selvig evidently failed to re-
member the order for they
passed by the point on the way
to Nash and were just on the
curve when the oncoming work
train was sighted.
The engineer on both trains
threw off the steam and re-
versed the engines and then
jumped but both trains were un-
der such motion that the trains
came together with terrific I'M
pact. The tender on the work
train was badly mashed in and
the front and cab of the pass
enger engine were demolished.
The work train engine remained
on the track and the wheels un-
der the tender of the passenger
jumped the track.
The passenger train loaded
with passengers were badly
shaken up but up to the present
time no injuries have been re-
ported by anyone and it is be-
lieved that young Chase was the
only one injured in the wreck.
Engineer Wilson of the pass
enger train was found lying
along side of the train where he
fell when he jumped, but in a
minute he revived and apparent
ly was not injured by the fall.
Engineer Tinker and Fireman
Cox of the work train both es-
capped injury, although their en-
CINE was badly wrecked.
1t was SOME time before the
wreck was cleaned up and pass
enger service was at stand
still on the short line until early
this morning when the wreck

ORGANIZE CO.
FOR THRIFT DRIVE
Six Districts Laid Out by Chairman
Frank Downs
Everyone Willing to Work to Make
Thrifty Drive Grand
Success.

A meeting OF the district
Chairmen selected by County
Chairman Frank Downs fol
making the drive for the sale OF
War Savings Stamps was held at
the Commercial Club rooms in
this city Tuesday afternoon, and
every district in the county was
represented at the meeting.
The districts and their Chair
men are as follows: District No.
1, including City of Washburn,
towns of Washburn, Bayview,
Barksdale, Pilsen and Eileen
w. A. Robinson, Chairman.
District No. 2, Bayfield,, town Of
Bayfield, and town of Russell, A,
HI. Wilkinson, Chairman. Dis
trict No. 3, towns of Mason,
Kelley and Lincoln, Charles Lar
son, Chairman. District No. 4
Drummond, Barnes, Pratt,
Namakagon and Cable, E. c.
Carter, Chairman. District No.
5, Iron River, Oulu, Trip and
Huges, Byron Ripley, Chairman.
District No. 6, Port Wing,
Orienta, Glover, and Bell, 7. N.
Okerstrom, Chairman.
The Bayfield, County quote for
the War Savings Stamp drive is
$343, ,020, based on a population
of 1900, which in order to
reach, means that every man,
woman and child in the county
must subscribe or hold war saw
ings or Thrift stamps to the
amount of 500 for each in
dividual.
The District Chairmen are
now organizing their various
districts which have been SUBJ
divided so that the work can be
evenly distributed and the cam
paign to be waged in order to
reach the quote will back all
other efforts off the boards.
The job of raising the quote
is a big one, the amount being
twice as large at the Third
Liberty Loan, but from every
part of the county comes the
message that everyone will do
his or her utmost to bring the
county over the top.
People throughout the county
should prepare themselves for
this campaign. Subscribe for
all of the War Savings stamps
which you think you can pay
for. These war stamps or baby
bonds as they are called bear in
terest at the rate of 4 per cent
compounded and are redeemable
in 1882. They can be cashed at
any post office in the country
upon giving ten days notice in
advance.
1t is the greatest method of
saving that has ever been at
tempted in the United States.
1t is going to make this a
nation of savers and lessons the
burdens of the war.
No person can offer any reason
able excuse why he should not
purchase war savings stamps.
They can be paid for on the in
stalIment plan the same as Lib
erty bonds were paid for.
