Engine Hits Car
at Crossing
PARTY OF SEVEN HAVE NARROW
ESCAPE AT ROUND HOUSE
GRADE.

One of the narrOWeSt escapes from
being ground to death under the wheels
of locomotive was that of Peter A..
Olson and party of six persons from
Harwick, Mimi, when their car was
struck by the switch engine on the
grade crossing near the M. q st. l..
round house last Monday noon. The
car and its occupants were showed
distance of forty feet up the track
badly wrecking the body of the car,
running board wind shield and demo-
fishing two of its wheels. The tram
crew and others rushed to the assist
ance of the imprisoned occupants OF
ear who were Geo. Feller and wife
and two children, Chas Johns and
wife and Mr.. Olson. Mrs. Feller and
children and Mrs. Johns were quite
| badly bruised and at once conveyed TO
DR.. PenhaIl for treatment.
That the car was not turned over
and occupants killed out right may be
attributed to the fact that the swlch
engine was backing down low speed
| from the coal shute, also the snowy
and muddy condition OF the ground,
which permitted the car to slide along
the ground when pushed by the switch
engine
The Grade crossing at this point is
Ia dangerous one, particularly the ap-
nroach from the south as a clear view
s shnt off. both by the quarry cut
and the round house, which is distant
only about twenty feet from the track.
/ Mr. Olsen and Mr.. Feller stated they
were driving less than ten miles an
hour and did not notice the switch en-
gine until they were but few 1ee1
from the crossing. They applied the
] hrales however the car slid forward
directly onto the crossing and path OF
the engine. Engineer III. Nelson OF
tba switching crew saw the car as Il
Slid upon the track. He applied the
air brake but too late to avoid hitting
the ear. Mr.. Olsen and party were
lhomewaM bound from a visiting trlr
Ito southern Minnesota. they secured
i another car and were able 20 resume
Itheir journey Monday afternoon.
The traffic over the grade crossing

and regarded as dangerous one

last quarter Madison came back strong
and held twice FOR downs on Redwood's
ten yard line.
The whole Redwood team played a
good game. "Tobe" Wilcox ran his
team we'll and his passing was fea-
ture of the game.
"Stue' was the big ground gamer
of the day; he seemed to go just as
we'll through the line as around end
Mason played a fine game at safety
and as the score indicates nothing got
by him. WelcIl's spear of long pass
and 80 yard run for touchdown was
also feature.
The Madison team played hard and
showed lots of fight after they We're
/ beaten. Gale, a little half back.
/ PLAYED the best game for Madison.
After the game both teams We're

the banquet speeches were given by
those who considered themselves ora

wonderful ability at passing the brick.
After the banquet everybody retired to

Membership Drive
Made Wednesday
PRESENT MEMBERS ASKED TO
RENEW AND NEW ONES SOLIC-
TIED FOR RED CROSS.

F. E. Person who is in charge of the
Red Cross membership drive for the
Redwood Falls district has planned to
have the drive made Wednesday of this
week. November and asks the coop
Grafton of all the residents of the dis
trict in making the plan complete
success as all former ones have been.
Mr.. Parson has asked several of the re-
turned service men to help him in the
work and they are ready to go into
action this morning.
The solicitors are asking that ell
men of the city who are not employed
in the down town district shall arrange
for their memberships to be taken at
their homes at the same time that the
same time that the memberships of
their wives and other members of the
family are being taken. This will
make it unnecessary to canvass the
town a second time or to hunt these
men up, and will greatly facilitate the
work of soliciting.
| The district has been divided into
sections and the following leaders
have been appointed;
The northwest section of the city
of Redwood Falls, Fred Orth;
The northeast section, Fred Knapp,
The southwest section, Harold Aune
The southeast section, n. r. Ryer-
son,
| Redwood Falls township, Hubert
Whittet,
| Paxton township, Walter Mertz and
IC. E. Goodyear.
| A prominent Red Cross worker has
given the following six reasons why
every resident of the United States
who is not a member of the Red Cross
should become one, and the same rea-
sons are equally good arguments for
the renewal of present memberships.
1. The Red Cross has made good
and it's work must continue.
2. You have only to look around to
see uncared for children, ignorance
of sanitation, the scourge of tubercu-
losis, crippled and manned people and
bad health conditions to convince you
of the need of the Red Cross.
3. You will have only to run over
/ in your mind the record of epidemics
and disasters. Last years influenza,
the Moose Lake fire and the Fergus
Falls tornado are still fresh in mem-
ory.
4. The gratitude of the European
people for what the Red Cross did
over there. 1t actually saved lives.
5. What the returned service men
say about the Red Cross.
