TRAIN CRASHES INTO ~ . {
POTATO CARS

The Great Northern fast train No.
20, loaded with passengers from the
Twin Cities and Fargo due i'll Grand
Forks at S 80 A. NJ, ran into an open
switch yesterday morning at the Uni
vcrsity OF North Dakota, and smashed
up about four or five carloads OF pOta-
toes that were the first on long string
of cars that were standing on the side
track. The engine on the train was also
badly wrecked. The box cars were re-
duced to splinters Engineer John Null
lalIy Who had charge Of the engine
leaned from the engine before it struck
and had Il narrow escape. The fireman
craWlcd back onto the coal car at the
rear of the engine and escaped uninjur-
ed. 1t is stated that Engineer Mutually
put on the emergency brakes Oh the
train and did everything that it was
possible to Go to save the lives OF the
passengers before he leaped for safety,
otherwise it is probable that many lives
would have been lost.
The passenger coaches including cN-
press amt mail coaches were brought to
Grand Forks very short time after
the wreck. \ crew of men were i'm
mcdiately put to work to pick up the
potatoes that had been spilled about the
tracks The passengers on the train
were badly shaken up by the collision,
hut none were seriously injured. The
railroad company will most likely hold
an investigation to ascertain the person
that WAS at fault for leaving the switch

Crude Methods Of Defense.

Pueblo Indians were never warriors
but in the old days they were subject
to frequent attacks by the wandering
tribes. such as the Apaches and the
Navaios. Therefore many of the crude
adobe houses were built with port
holes up near the roof. which the Oc-
cupants used TO defend themselves
from the attackers. Many of these
old houses are still standing, and port
holes are still there, just as they were
years and years ago. OF course they
are all occupied, for no new houses
are built unless there is an absolute
necessity for them

est ventured inside to ascertain what
had happened. They found an empty
coffin and dead man on the floor, and
naturally put the corpse into the cof-
fin. They then began to search for
the shroud, which the mailman had
taken away with him. One Of the
searchers opened the cupboard In the
hope Of finding something fit to cover
the body. Directly he did so the hid
den dead man fell on him head first
and knocked him down. The live man
tainted from fright. and panic again
filled the chapel, the crowd rushing
out and scattering through the city.

cleared up.

LEEIN NOT RUSSIAN CHIEF
BoIshevik Exponent Is Premier, Michael
kaIinin Being President of Central
Executive Committee

Most Americans believe that Nkolai
Lenin is president of Russia. whereas
he holds an office which corresponds
to that of the British premier. Michael
Kalinin, a peasant, for more than two
years has been president Of the All
Russian Central Executive committee.
His position is only about as politically
powerful as that of the French presi-
dent, and, whereas the French execu-
tive's position is mostly social, the
Russian president Is mediator, cham
pion and political adviser of the
peasant masses of Russia.
Kalinin's office in Moscow Is not
in the Kremlin, but in an ordinary
office building in the heart of the
city. 1t is the one place in Russia
where no papers are demanded
when one enters and no guards stand
about the doors.
