-Four Killed l
in R. R. Crash
near Renville
COAST TRAIN CRASHES INTO
FREIGHT ON MILWAUKEE,
ROAD; FREIGHT ON TRACK
REPORTED CLEAR.

Four people are dead and seven
seriously injured as the result of a
terrible railroad accident near Rem
vile early Sunday morning. The
coast train on the Milwaukee road
collided with a freight train wher.
both were going at a high rate of
speed and the collision caused the ut
ter wreck of both engines and piled
up the cars, injuring several of the
passengers. The killed are Henry
Fillmore, the engineer of the passen-
ger train, Denny Harmer, head
brakeman on the freight train, C. D.
Davis, mail clerk on the passenger
train and Abraham Young of Monte
.vedio, engineer on the second engine
of the freight train.
The Minneapolis Journal gives the
following account of the accident.
"The Columbian left the Twin CT
les shortly after 9 p. m, Saturday,
carrying hundreds of University Of
Minnesota alumni who came to Min
neapolis to attend the homecoming
celebration and the Iowa-M minnesota
football game.
Leaving Renville at 1870 a. m.,
Sunday, the train sped west. The
track to Montevideo was reported
clear. A long coast freight train un-
der orders to pull off the main track
at O'Connor's Siding, giving the right
of way to the coast flyer. The freight,
however, had failed to clear the track.
Engineers of the two trains appa~-
emily saw the impending crash at al
most the same time.
Brakes ground and a shower Of
sparks flew into the night, according
to stories told today, as engineers oe
three huge engines made a desperate
attempt to bring the two trains to ,
halt.
with crash the two leading en-
gines met, rammed halfway through
each other. A second engine, pulling
the freight train reared high in the
air, then toppled over on its side with
blast as its boiler exploded.
"A mail car behind the Columbian
engine smashed its way onto the ten
der of the engine, bringing death to
one man. Nine freight. cars, behind
the two engines, were telescoped and
hurled from the tracks in pile Of
twisted steel and splintered wood"

LUD. I. ROE OF MONTEVIDEO
ADDRESSES ARMISTICE DAY
AUDIENCE AT ARMORY; GOOD
PROGRAM GIVEN.

An address given by Past State
Commander Ludwig I. Roe of Monte
vedio was the main feature of very
excellent program given at the Ar
mory last Wednesday morning, in ob-
servance of the Seventh Armistice
Day. DR.. j. C. Budik Commander Of
Melvin Daskam Post presided at the
meeting which was attended by the
students of the local schools. by men-
bers of the G. A. R., w. R. c., the
American Legion and Ladies Auxii-
iary as we'll as by a large number Of
private citizens.
The program was preceded by the
two moments of silent prayer for the
men who had given their lives in the
service, followed by the Invocation
by DR.. A. w. Ross. Musical numbers
included the singing of patriotic
songs by the assembly, with Miss
Giebler leading. two selections bv the
male quartet with Mrs. G. L. Grapp
at the piano and solo by Mrs. Grapp
with Miss Cooper accompanying.
Judge A. R. A. Laudon gave short
talk on the work of the Red Cross
and the coming Roll Call and the pro-
gram closed with the Benediction by
Dr. Ross.
Mr.. Roe was introduced by Attor-
ney Leon Brown of Redwood Falls
adiutant of the local Post. Mr.. Brown
spoke briefly of Mr.. Roe's service
both during the war and as Legion
aire since the war and also of his
worth as a private citizen.
The speaker of the day opened his
address with a number of interesting
"reminiscences of life overseas and in
the camps, depicting both hardshirs
and amusing incidents in an entertain
ing way This introduction led to his
excellent discussion of the world
peace problem Mr.. Roe finds that
the two greatest ingredients in the
scheme for perfecting a world peace
are Tolerance and Team Work. He
spoke at some length on tolerance,
urging the necessity of fostering it in
the small communities first before
attempting to bring it about in larg-
er spheres. "The place to disarm is
right at home', said the speaker.

Likening the progress of United
States, history to football game
Mr.. Roe showed the necessity of team
work and of individual loyalty. His
argument was that success, either or
the football field or in government
rests upon each individual taking his
/ personal responsibility and workinp
it one hundred per cent. The worth
| of individual effort was proved
!, through the war as it has been in
history, and absolute adherence to the
theory that it is the Individual that
counts and is necessary to national
achievement. Scoring the mass OF
Americans who are lazy in their cit.

stalwart and more personal citizen.

wild Rice)

Playing a superior brand of foot
ball, Coach Hoffert's Cardinal AMI
White football eleven swamped the
speedy and hard hitting Sleepy Eye
team Armistice Day by the sweet
score of 33 to 0, displaying brand
of football seldom seen on a hign
school gridiron. The local pigskin
frolickers outfought, outplayed and
out smarted the Sleepy Eye lads.
Showing battling, fighting and hard
tackling and plunging team, the Car
dinal crew was unbeatable. The line
opened great gaping holes in the
Sleepy Eye line through which the
Redwood backs plunged and tore for
consistent gains. Playing the ball the
Cardinal crew took advantage of ev-
cry break of the game. Though the
Sleepy Eye crew were hitting hard
they never had a chance. In the first
quarter the closest Sleepy Eye got to
Redwoods goal with the ball in their
possession was when they kicked off
on their 40 yard line just 60 little
yards from Redwoods goal. In the
second quarter Sleepy Eye could do
no better carrying the ball than to get
to the so yard line, the half way sta
ton. In the third quarter Sleepy
Eye did not see the ball and in the
final frame they did work to the Car
dinal 25 yard line against all the
scrubs. All in all the affair was a
real treat for the fans on Armistice
Day. After paying expenses the
books show a profit of $17S.96. That
helps. The Redwood High Clown
Band performed and added to the
gaiety and the school thanks the
American Legion Drum Corps for
their part in the program.

PROGRAM OF NUMBERS TO

Err NUMBERS TO FOLLOW.

Four artists, comprising the Ada
nae Quartet will open the lecture
course season in Redwood Falls
Tuesday evening, November 24tn
with a full evening of music at the
armory. This introduces five excel
lent numbers which constitute this
years offering to the Redwood Falls
public.
The Adanac Quartet is managed
and directed by H. Ruthven Melon
aid famous on Redpath Vawter Chan
tauqua or many years. He appear
ed on the seven day circuit in 1908; u
few years later he went over one of
the five day circuits as soloist, and
five years ago with the Adanac Qua--
tet, and people still ask about him
and his famous song, "Bibbity- !"
With but slight change of person
mel the Adanacs have been singing
together for about eight years, grow
ing in favor and popularity steadily,
until today they are recognized as
Canada's greatest male quartet, and
it is doubtful if they have an equal in
America.
The Adanacs satisfy the most crit
ical musically, because of their
splendid voices, both in the ensemble
and solo numbers. All four are pos
sessed of unusually fine solo voices,
which is very unusual in male quar-
tets. Their ensemble work has been
perfected by long years of singing to-
gether, thus making possible a great
program. But they also appeal to
those seeking entertainment, rather
than classical music, for their selec-
tions appeal to all and the program
has an abundance of high class hum
or especially in their Scotch songs.

In the line Whittet, Brewster, Wal

STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION
Err RETURNS FROM SOUTH
AMERICA. CONVINCED U. S.
SYSTEM BEST.

Charles NJ. Babcock, state highway
commissioner of Minnesota, has re-
turned from South America more
firmly convinced than ever of the
necessity for governmental approval
and aid for construction of roads in
the United States.
Il defy any politician, who might
have seen what the United States
delegates saw in South America, to
continue to oppose government CO.
operation in road development" Mr.
Babcock said. 'There are millions of
acres of land in Brazil that will pro-
duce enormous crops, but there are
no facilities for moving these crops
to market. Under those conditions
acre. But with road construction, the
price would increase hundred fold
"Officials of the Latin American
countries are alive to this situation
and l believe that road development
will progress rapidly as result OF
the conference which was conducted
at Buenos Aires.
"Another result of the conference
was development of more friendly
feeling toward the United States, or
the part of delegates representing the
Pan-American countries. The con
gress was a success in every way
from our point of view"
Commissioner Babcock was select
ed as delegate to the Pan-Americar
highway conference because of his
intimate knowledge of financing roao
construction. He delivered one of the
principal addresses at the congress
on ''The Financing of Road Construc
ton in the United States"
In the two months of their absence
delegates from the United States
travelled more than $4,000 miles
making tours of inspection of the
highways of Panama, Peru, Chile
Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil.
In the latter country, Mr.. Babcocl
said, there were no adequate high
ways, and that although the soil was
fertile, production was at a mini
mum and crops were moved to market
in carts with wooden wheels drawn
by poor horses.
