rail MAN WAS KILLED
BRAKE MAN SHEREFFCRUSHED
UNDER THE WHEELS
Accident At Sherburn Yesterday
Morning; Engineer Fatally
Injured

Fairmont, February 1S-Minneapolis
and st. Louis yards at Sherburn were
the scene of a terrible accident short
ly after eleven o'clock yesterday
forenoon.
A breakman named Shereff was i'm
stantly killed and Engineer Ed
Ankum SO seriously injured that his
death is but question of hours.
Some defect in a switch was prob
ably the cause Of the accident. The
victims were members of the crew OF
a heavy freight, pulling into the
yards from the south just ahead OF
the northbOund passenger train. The
train was going onto the side track
to permit the passenger to pass.
The brakeman had left the train to
throw the switch. AS soon as the en-
CINE struck the separated rails it
jumped the track.
Shereff, the brakeman, was caught
between the engine and tender. He
was instantly killed.
The engineer jumped on the left
hand side of the cab. He was caught
by the wheels and dragged some $50
yards. When he fell free of the
rails he was on the side of the track
opposite from that on which he
jumped.
Both legs and arms were broken
and splintered, the head and body
mangled. He was conscious for a
short period.
Escaped Without Scratch.
The brakeman, Mat Posivio, who is
a brother in law of Ralph Parker of
this city, did not jump. He escaped
without a scratch.
Ankrum was taken to DR.. Farrishs
office, and later removed to a private
residence. Nothing could be done
for him. He died at 2 p. m.
Both of Ankrum's legs and one arm
were amputated but the desperate
effort to save his life was hopeless
from thei outset.
The accident occurred about 200
yards south of the Minneapolis and
st. Louis depot.
Engineer Ankrum lived at Esther
vile and has family. He was one
of the oldest engineers in the employ
of his road and had run on the Storm
Lake division for years.
Ankrum's family consists of wife
and five children. -
Shereff was single man. He
formerly lived on farm four miles
north of Sherburn

Another Big Victory,

The Solicitor for the Department
Of the Interior, On February 18th,
two months ago, sustained the
position of the Legislative Com
mittee of the General Council with
reference to the rights of new
born children to enrolment and
participation in the rights and
privileges as other members of the
Chippewas, irrespective of whether
both of their parents we're enrolled
members of the tribe, or whether
they were born off or on the
reservation. =: :
The members of the Legislative
Committee, General Council, Min
nesota Chippewas, through their
attorney, Webster Ballinger, con
tend ed that the fact that the child
of u woman of the reservation,
married to a white mau, and born
of of the reservation could not be
deprived of his or her Inherent
i rights of reservation privileges.
This is another success which owes
it's inception to the energetic pru.
dence and persistent industry OF
the members of the Legislative
Committee.
The above opinion from the
Solicitor for the Interior Depart
was handed to the Indian Bureau
OVER TWO MONTHS AGO and
| why the said Office, noted for its
dilatory practice and chronic
prevaricatiou, has kept the said
opinion ''pigeon-holed" so long
seems difficult of conjecture. Pos
sibly they were Ioath to reverse
their Inconsistent decision and
admit that they (the Indian bureau
