ATTORNEY COMBS
IN TRAIN WRECK

Attorney Lee Combs arrived home
this morning from St. Louis, Mo-, and
reports very exciting time in a
wreck on the 500 line. He was riding
on what is known as the "Velvet Spe-
ciap and the train hit "mushy" spot
in the road bed, ditching both the en-
CINE and tender but fortunately not
the cars. The wreck broke into flames
when lamp in the baggage car ex-
ploded and spread to boxes in the car
containing ammunition. The engi-
neer was killed. The passengers were
badly shaken up and of course fright
ened. Mr.. Combs had quite an ex-
peAence. He gave out the following
interview:
''Steel construction of the coaches
was all that saved the lives of many
passengers in the opinion of Mr.. Lee
Combs, formerly of Minneapolis but
now of Valley City, passenger on
the train.
81 was awakened by a jolt about
1915 a. M, explained Mr.. Combs.
"The train came to an immediate stop
and as soon as could I hustled out
of my berth to see what the trouble
was" -
81 found that the engine had gone
off the track to the right followed by
three cars and one car had gone off
to the left. The cars off the track
were the two mail cars, dining car
and baggage car. The train had been
going As miles an hour and it came to
almost an immediate stop. It was the
steel construction alone which pre-
vented the cars from being smashed
up.
''In addition to the engineer, who
was killed, and the fireman, who was
scalded, an express messenger on the
train was injured about the head, but
not seriously. Then there was a Mrs.
Eliza Hayes of Glenwood, Mimi, had
an injury to her knee, and a Mrs.
George Adams of Chicago, whom we
placed in hospital at Neenah, WisN
because of the bruises she suffered. {
81 interviewed all of tn passengers
and found about dozen from Min-
neapolis and several from St. Paul.
Many Of them, were bound for Canada
and western points. +
"Neither the engineer nor the fire
man had time to jump. It is not clear
what caused the engine to leave the
track, whether it was washout or
broken rail. The engine turned over
Immediately and the. engineer was
killed by coal falling on him.
"The front trucks of one of the
sleepers went off the track. An en-
CINE came to our relief and pulled the
sleepers back to Fond du Lac. We
were then taken on the Northwestern
tracks which parallel the 500 tracks
to Minneapolis" Il

kindergarten and grades one to six,
the dividing line between Richie and

Children who are six years of age or

will be admitted to the first primary

fact be known, and that children in
these grades be entered promptly, as
late admission will not be permitted.

The question is often asked as tc
what the tuition for attendance at the

of course, that there is no tuition fo1

school we charge no tuition in the
high school for non-residents, and sc
far, no tuition has ever been charged

Tom Hall, the popular secretary of
state. who beat out the Cahill who
could live under a red flag as good as
he could under a United States flag,
so he SAYS, has seen the hand writing
on the wall, and refused to run again,
but the league politicians think they
can throw out a sop to the women
voters of the state and have nomlnat-
ed Miss Afhild Alison, of Burleigh
county, to run against Tom. The ac-
ton of the leaguers is reflection on
the intelligence of the women OF the
state if they think that because she is
woman they will flock to her stand
ard. The women of North Dakota
are not socialists or bolshevikes and
we rather hazard the opinion that
when they vote they will vote for the
man who has stood up independently
for the peoples rights as against
state socialism. We look to see Ton,
come under the wire with handsome
majority in the fall. Then there is
Baer, who was defeated by Burtness
for congress in the first tdistrict. He
has so pictured himself in his own
mind as a man whom the people must
have in congress in order to save the
world and so he has consented to run
independent after getting what we
would call a terrific beating at the
polls in June. Mr.. Baer is doomed
to get a little conceit taken out Of
him in a few weeks. Ole Kaldor OF
Trail county, has been nominated fol
treasurer to run against John Steen
We do not know Ole but we do know
that John Steen is an able, clean citi'
zen and we feel the people will elect
him. For railroad commissioner tc
run against Mr.. Stutsman, they have
! nominated man from LaMoure coun'
ty by the name of Hildebrand. He may
be a mighty good chap, but he is
nominated by a bunch that is discred
tied by all people who are against So
cialism, therefore we hope he will gel
it in the neck in November, and rather
think he will. That is the ticket the
nonpartisans are asking you to sup
| port against those men who have beer
nominated by majority vote at the pri
mary election. The new women vot
ers should post up on these men or
both sides, and we believe they will
do So, and if they do we feel that {
, majority Of them will be found on the
side of right, on the side of the Amer,
Jean flag, on the side of good citizen,
ship, as against free love, Kate
O'Hareism and state socialism.

BUSINESS men HAVE
A fine MEETING

About twenty business men of the
city enjoyed a banquet at the Rudolf
Hotel last night. It was what might
be termed a get together meeting of
the business men Of the city for the
purpose of promoting more coopera-
ton in business and to inaugurate
plan for consistent advertising and
boosting of not only the individual
business of those concerned but for
the whole city. The banquet was en-
joyed and those present had real
heart to heart talk among each other.
The name of the new organization has
not been decided upon at this time but
will be announced later. The follow
ing officers, were elected last night.
President-Herman Stern.
Vice President-H. E. Taylor. p
Secretary-C. c. Chaffee.
Treasurer-Carl Olson.
The chair was authorized to ap-
point committee to draw up by
laws and report the same at the next
meeting. The aim of this new organ
ization is for the betterment of Val
ley City and the business men Of the
city. It is move in the right direc-
ton and with the live wires back of it
that were present last night should be
a success right from the start.

JUDGE AMIDON
IS REVERSED

Judge G.. F. Amidon's order deny
ing an injunction in the case in
volving state operation of lignite
coal mines Y was reversed by the
United States circuit court of ap1
peals, according to word received to-
day from st. Louis.
The case grows. out of Governor
Frazier's famous. attempt at Selling
Ignite mines and operating them in
the name of the state, through the
ton.
The Dakota Coal company, charg-
ing that the governor had vverridden
the constitution in the seizure of
private property without due process
of law, appealed to the United States
district court for an injunction.
Judge Amidon denied the injunc-
ton and in a lengthy opinion as
serted that the emergency created
by the coal strike in the central
fields, and the possibility of strike
within this state, justified the gov
ernor in his action.
An appeal to the CIRCUIT court was
taken. .... ,E.1..
Seth W. Richardson, appearing for
the governor, asked discissal of the
appeal on the ground that the mines
had been returned to the custody of
the owners by the state.
The circuit court, in an opinion
by Judge, johnson of Salt Lake City,
concurred in by Chief Justice San
| born and Judge Stone of St. Louis,
holds that the plaintiff i, company
shall have the right to amend it's
complaint in harmony with the
changed condition created by the re-
turn of the mines to the owners, and
that the case be remanded. In the
trial court the question of damages,
if any were sustained by the COM
pany during the period of opera
tions, may be presented.
The Dakota Coal company was
represented in the circuit court by
Attorney John E. Greene of Minot
and A. W. Cupler, Of Pierce, Tenne~
son & Cupler, of Fargo.
Judge Amidon's original opinion
was heralded at the time as an inno-
walton that attracted comment thru
out the country. ...

0'C0NN0R ON
GRAIN GRADING

Minot, N. D., Sept. Honorable
JET. T. O'Connor, democratic republ-
can fusion candidate for governor in
speech at Minot said:
"The farmers at Emblem, North
Dakota, found themselves in a pc
culiar situation. Congress passed a
grain law which provided for inspec-
tors of grain, for grades and for
weighing the same and also provided
that any person who violated this
law which applied to all interstate
shipments could be fined a thousand
dollars and imprisoned for year or
goth. The state of North Dakota
passed grain grading law which pro-
vided for grades, inspectors and
weighing the anne and provided that
if this law was violated, that for a
first offense, there was imposed a fine
of not less than ten dollars nor more
than one hundred dollars or confine-
ment in the county Jail for not less
than ten days nor more than thirty
days or both and for each succeeding
offense, fine of not less than one
hundred dollars or more than five
hundred or be confined in the county
jail not less than thirty days or more
than ninety or both. These farmers
had their own elevators and they
could not comply with both laws.
They did not care to be imprisoned by
the United States government and
they had no desire to be imprisoned
by the state of North Dakota. There
was only one thing these farmers
could do and that was to ask the
court which law they should follow.
The sworn testimonk. of the manager
of that farmers elevator before Judge
An1idon discloses that he was grad
ing wheat that tested fifty-four pounds
to bushel as No. 3 wheat. A repre-
sentative from Mr.. Ladd's department
compelled him to grade this wheat as
No. which meant loss to the farm
ers of about ten cents bushel, The
manager of the farmers elevator in
sisted hat as was given No. 8 for this
wheat in Minneapolis, he should be
allowed to give the farmers No. 3. but
this inspector denied him right to do
so.
"The attitude Of the league leaders
say that the farmers must lose this
ten cents bushel on their grain which
loss would amount to about five mil
lion dollars and that they have no
right to go into the court and ask re-
dress. When this law was before the
supreme court Of North Dakota, the

COUPLE SURPRISED .
ON ANNIVERSARY
(Contributed)

The Faculty Danes Club of the
State Normal School is rapidly ac-
quiring skill in the manner in which
its members can "pull. off" unique
and purposeful social times for the
entertainment of their husbands. But
last Saturday night was something
out of the ordinary for be it known
that the day was the twenty fifth
wedding anniversary of President and
Mrs. C. E. Allen. This worthy couple
probably thought no one knew about
it but if such a feeling was held by
them it was proved, and quite enl-
phatically so we believe, that they
were mistaken. s5
BY clever deception the guests Of
honor were enticed to the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Seymour in the Shey-
enne Apartments along with Secre-
tary and Mrs. C. A. Lee and other
guests. At about O'Clock all were
invited upstairs to the home of Pro-
lessor and Mrs. Spalding. When the
door was opened strains Of the we'd
ding march were heard and it became
apparent that the president and his
bride" had suspicious. They had to
pass under large bell which emptied
its rose petals on the bride as she
passed to the appointed place at the
dinner table. There was a large and
beautiful bouquet and other floral ap-
pointments even to Cupid with his bow
and arrow. A splendid four-course
dinner was served through, the CO.
operation of the danes and their
daughters. With cocktail, fried chick
en-, mashed potatoes, ice cream, and
other good things to delight the taste
including an excellent wedding cake
served by the bride, we will say that
the occasion was all that was hoped
Tor it by its promoters.
At the close Of the dinner DR.. and,
Mrs. Allen were given set of salad
forks Of solid silver, a token Of es-.
TEEN and goodwill from the danes and
their husbands. During the evening
Mrs. Froysaa sang two selections in
her splendid way to the enjoym ent
OF all. The ladies had quietly worked
out their plans to the minutest detail
and everyone had great satisfaction
in enjoying the complete surprise
