Local Passenger
Train Wrecks Auto
At Crossing

A coupe driven by Elger Boden, cit
salesman for the Janey, Semple,
Hill Co., Minneapolis, and with Mrs.
Boden, their son Raymond and Mr..
Boden's sister, Mrs. Paul Nygren of
this city as passengers. was struck
by the afternoon passenger train
at the crossing Oh the new detour
through Normal farm last Thursday
afternoon, and hurled onto its side
into the ditch.
Mrs. Boden was the most seriously
injured. She was taken on the train
to Hudson, where a westbound train
had been held to take her direct to
Minneapolis. In the Swedish Hos
pital there it was found that she had
suffered two fractures of the pelvis,
and that she was also in serious
condition from the shock. Mr.. Boden
was here Tuesday and reported that
she was showing considerable inn
provement.
Mrs. Nygren's scalp was badly
cut, and her body severely bruised.
Practically every bit of her clothing,
and even her shoes, were in tatters,
torn and cut by splintering wood and
glass. Since the accident she has
been troubled by annoying pains, and
was in Minneapolis yesterday to have
an X-ray examination.
Mr.. Boden's back was painfully
wrenched, but he does not feel that
it is anything serious, although he
was still stiff and lame when here
Tuesday.
The boy, Raymond, aged 5, was the
only one to be thrown out when the
car was struck and overturned, and
although he was hurled underneath
the car, he escaped without a brulse
or cut. A hollow over which the car
fell saved him from being crushed.
The party were enroute to Glen
Park, and as they had never been on
this road before they came upon the
railroad track unexpectedly, none OF
them having seen or heard the train.
Mr.. Roden was following quite close
behind All. Chinnock's auto truck, and
was watching that. The truck
crossed the track just ahead Of the
train. Everett Dodge, who was on
the rear Of the truck, states that he
did not see or hear the train unit
the truck was onto the track.
Officials of the Omaha line were
here the next day, making an in
spection of the crossing, and getting
information concerning the accident.

DEMPSY RETAINS TITLE

Worlds heavyweight champion
Jack Dempsy retained his title by
knocking out Louis Angel Firpo,
Argentine, South America, challen-
ger, in the second round of schedul-
ed 15-round bout at the Polo Grounds
in New Yory City last Friday night.
The champ, according to sport
writers at the ringside, although
displaying far superior science, was
lucky to emerge victor, and it is said
that his display of craftsmanship
was nothing for the American people
to be proud Of. He knocked Firpo
down several times, but the first
knockdown, and the mos vicious,
came when Firpo, in reply t. a
signal from the referee, dropped his
guard and turned to see wnar the
official wantel. nempsy took adj
vantage of the opening to score the
first square right to Firpo's jaw.
Again, when the bell closed the first
round, Firpo dropped his guard i'm
mediately and started for his corner.
Dempsy, without interference frcm
the referee, followed the challenger
and, it is said landed several blows,
continuing the attack at least two
seconds after the bell rang.

South Fork Bridge
Ends 47-Year Service

While an airplane, enroute from
the Twin Cities to the Fair at ELS
worth, sailed almost directly over
head, the old iron suspension bridge
which served traffic for forty-seven
years over the South Fork creek on
S. Main street was ANONYMOUSLY
jerked off its supporting piers and
dropped into the muddy stream be-
low, to make place for new and
wider bridge of heavier construction.
The flooring of the old bridge had
been removed, and the anchors re-
leased. A pulley was attached, one
end to the northeast base and the
other to tree, and short jerk sent
the iron skeleton crashing down onto
the rocks, there to be separated and
salvaged as old iron.
1t was built forty-seven years ago,
and after its completion The River
Falls Journal contained the following
item concerning it, on Oct. 10, 1876:
"The iron bridge across the South
Fork, at the southern entrance of
this village, was completed last
Saturday. In the afternoon, in the
presence of large collection Of per-
sons who assembled to examine It, it
was tested to the entire satisfaction
of the supervisors, who accepted the
same and paid for it. To test il
several tons of rock were placed upon
it, and then a four mule team,
weighing, with the wagon, about
three tons, and with rock on the
wagon to the amount of nearly five
tons was driven onto it. To this was
attached two more wagons, laden
with rock, which, with the men upon
the bridge-everything Included
made the test weight about thirty
tons. Returning, the mules, with
their load, were put upon a rapid
gait, thus trying the strength of the
bridge for a moving weight, as well
as a dead one. To the delight of all,
the bridge stood the test without the
slightest apparent detection. And
now again commences an uninterup-
ted stream of travel, to be continued,
for ought we know, till the next

"a precious one from us has gone;
A voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
IT'S hard to break the tender cords
When love has bound the heart;
IT'S hard, so hard, to speak the
words,
We must forever part.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
Leona
When the day of life is fled
And in heaven. with joys to greet
thee Leona
Where no farewell tears are shed.

RIVER FALLS WILL HAVE
CHAUTAUQUA NEXT SUMNER

A representative of the Mutual
Ewell Bureau, Chicago, was here
last week, and, after explaining his
company's terms and outlining the
program which they have to offer,
secured a sufficient guarantee to in
sure their course in this city next
summer. 1t is stipulated in the
agreement that the program is to be
scheduled while the summer school
at the Normal is in session.
The guarantee is considerable less
than that demanded by the Midland
people, and many feel that the talent
offered, on a whole, is better than
that of the course pre- sented here
this summer.
