HAD A NARROW ESCAPE.
3f WHEN TRAINS CLASHED
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Haag Were Abroad
the West Bound Passenger Early
Thursday Morning.

According to, letter received by local
relatives from MIR. and Mrs. Geo. Haag
of Frankfort, S. D., who were passengers
ON the west bound train which collided
head-on with the east bound passenger
between Lamberton and Sanborn, early
Thursday morning, they esdaped without
injury, although being shaken up con-
siderably as a result of the smash-up.
Immediately upon arriving at Tracy,
following the accident, Mrs. Haag sent a
telegram to her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Flor, in this city, setting their
fears at rest by informing them of their
good fortune In letter written sub
sequently, Mrs. Haag states that neither
she nor Mr.. Haag will ever forget the
horrors incident to and following the
collision. All of the passengers were
frenzied by fear and the screams and
cries of the injured were heart-rending.
Mr.. and Mrs. Haag had been in New
Ulm for several days and expected to
return home last Wednesday afternoon,
but remained until early Thursday morn
ing, departing on the Inflated train No.
SIT. They can indeed consider them
selves lucky for coming out Of the serious
wreck without any bodily injury.

IN TRAIN WRECK
EAST AND WEST BOUND EARLY
MORNING PASSENGERS COL
LIDE THURSDAY. L
FATAL SMASH-UP OCCURRED
BETWEEN SANBORN AND
LAMBERTON.

Five persons were killed, and twelve
were more or less seriously injured in a
head-on collision of passenger trains
SIG and SIT, four miles east of Lamber-
ton, at $40 o'clock Thursday morning.
Both engines, a wooden smoker, two
express cars and mail car were totally
demolished, one of the latter being con
sumed by the flames which resulted
from the smash-up.
The dead are:~ Ed Clark, 60, Winona,
conductor; L. S. Fuller, so, Waseca,
engineer; E. c. Larsen, 80, Waseca,

East Bound Train Late.
The east bound train, due in Lamber-
ton at 2:20 a. M, was Is minutes late
out of Tracy, and orders were given out
of Winena to meet SIT, west bound,
due in Lamberton at 3:15 a. M, at that
village, instead Of at Sanborn, the usual
meeting place. Later, it is understood,
an order was issue revoking the previous
order which designated Lamberton as
the meeting place, and ordering the
trains to meet at Sanborn.
Train No. SIT, operating under the
original orders, pulled out Of Sanborn
at about the same time that No. SIC
left the Lamberton station, and the two
trains crashed together under full head
of steam, half way between the two
stations. The terrific noise incident to
the impact of the fast trains was great
enough to awaken sleepers more than a
mile from the scene of the collision.
Three Killed in Smoker.
Three OF the five victims Of the smash
up were killed in the smoker of train No.
SIG, namely Conductor Ed. Clark,
Joseph Blonde, or B Seltz, and E. w.

HEATING COMPANY
VERY SUCCESSFUL
PLANT MAY BE TURNED OVER
TO CITY FREE OF CHARGE
IN THREE YEARS.
H. w. ENGELBERT ELECTED TO
SUCCEED G. A. oTToMEYER
AS DIRECTOR.

If the profits of the New Ulm Heating
Company for each of the next three years
will be as large as they we're for the past
year, then the plant will be fully paid
for in three years from date and there
will be in the neighborhood Of $4,000
in the sinking fund. When that time
arrives the New Uln Heating Company
will turn over the plant to the city and
will cease to exist.
Z This appeared from the annual report
presented to the stockholders of the
Heating Company at the annual meeting
held at the Commercial Club Rooms
Monday afternoon. This report was
signed by a joint committee, consisting
of DR.. Emil Mueller and Lewis B. Krook
of the city council and Alfred J.. Vogel,
president and F. w. Johnson, secretary
of the New Ulm Heating Company.
$11, O91.85 Received for Steam.
From this report it appears that the
total receipts for steam for the past
fiscal year aggregated the sum of SILL
091. 85, which, together with interest of
time certificates in the sum of $73.71,
made the total receipts $11, 165.56. The
total expenses aggregated $287.90 leav-
ing $10,877.46 to be distributed under
the terms of the agreement with the. city.
OF this amount, $1,879.85 will be paid
to the stockholders in the form of in
terest, at the rate Of 6 per cent, on the
capital stock still outstanding, and the
sum of 81, 034.96 will be deposited in the
depreciation fund. This will leave &c.
962.85 to be used for the purpose of re-
firing stock and reducing the purchase
price Of the plant.
Cost SAB, 1878 to Date.
The initial investment, including the
extensions authorized two years ago,
aggregated the sum Of SAC, 587. S9. This
amount had been reduced to $31, $1,000
by May 8, 1919. With the amount
available at this time to reduce the stock
holdings, the price Of the plant will be
reduced to $24,36798. It can, there
fore, be readily seen that another three
years, if the receipts will maintain their
present ratio, will see the entire stock
wiped out and the city the owner of
plant that will be worth approximately
what it originally cost, to-wit, $43, $3.50,
and will have the sum Of at least $4,000
in the depreciation fund. This is better
showing than the most optimistic ever
dreamed Of. Before the Heating Com
pany was organized, the waste steam
was practically worthless, because it
brought no revenue to the city.
Net Income About SO, 900.
The income derived from the plant
last year amounted to about $4,000 over
and above the necessary expenses and
the interest on the outstanding stock.
The interest to be paid will decrease
from yearsto year as the stock is retired.
Receipts by Months.
The receipts for the different months
