Mr.. Elmquist was thrown onto the
pilot of the passenger train and the
body was carried quite distance be-
fore the engineer could bring the train
to stop.
The reason accounted for the VIC
tins of the accident not noticing the
approaching train is that the view
was obstructed from the west by the
elevator and cars, and that the men
were also watching for a train COM
ing from the east. 1t is evident that
the train hit them before they could
scarcely realize their predicament. and
death was instant
Mr.. Elmquist has but recently re-
turned from military service. Mr..
Eckholm has been resident of the
north table section for many yearS.
He was unmarried.

JAIL SENTENCE GIVEN
GILBERT AND TOWNLEY

JACKSON, MINI, Sept ia. c.
Townley. president of the National
Non Partisan league and Joseph Gil
bert, former organization manager.
were sentenced to three months in the
Jackson county Jail here Monday BY
Judge F.. F. C. Dean, without alterna-
tive of fine. Townley and Gilbert
were convicted here July ~ on .
charge Of conspiracy to teach disloyal-
ty.
Judge Dean read long review Of
the trial and comments upon the case
which had been printed in Non-Parti-
san League papers and other nublica-
tions. He excoriated Townley his
publicity staff and George Hoke, chief
counsel for Townley and Gilbert, and
declared the statements attacking the
integrity Of the court and jackson
county official "were absolute false
, hoods"
Never in the history of the jury
system was more honest or impartial
jury empaneled in any criminal case"
said Judge Dean. at is an outrag-
eous shame and injustice that any per-
ron who was present and saw this
farmer Jury should be so low and con-
tempible as to accuse these men Of
dishonesty or unfairness.
at is true that the Non Partisan
league publicity bureau, having enor-
nous sums of money, has been ex-
ceedingly active in carrying on the
most vicious propaganda Of falsehood
and misrepresentation and garbled
facts in reference to the trial that
has ever been known to modern jour
alism It appears that no one con-
nected with the trial was pure and un-
defiled except the defendants and
those associated with them,
"There is one thing in reference to
this trial about which the court is
grieved to speak and that is in ref
erence to the conduct in open court Of
the chief counsel for the defense. Tho
court tried to accord every courtesy
to the defense and overruled many
well-taken objections by the state, but
in the face of these things, every way
that could be devised in was employed
by counsel for the defendants to take
advantage of and irritate the court.
1t would almost be a miracle if the
record does not contain some errors"
