FREIGHT CAR JUMPS
RAILS, TEARS TRACK

A freight car was derailed at
Pine City last Sunday evening
causing considerable damage to
the road bed before the train
could be stopped. A more serious
wreck might have occurred, had
not the engineer made a quick but
careful stop.
Carrying a trainload of wheat
from Duluth to Minneapolis, the
train had just passed the bridge
when the derailment occurred and
the train was stopped within the
village limits. Traffic over the
road was tied up until the next
day when a wrecker came from
the cities to place the car back
on the track.

ventiOn at State Gathering.

Minnesota Democrats met in ST.
twenty-four delegates to the Chicago
convention in June to vote for the
nomination of Governor Franklin
ID. Roosevelt as presidential candidate.
The Roosevelt sentiment in the con-
ventiOn was overwhelming and after
preliminary tiff in which State
Chairman J. j. Farrell came off with
easy victory and a broken table, the
stop Roosevelt" movement headed by
Ruth (Joan of Arc) Carpenter of Min
neapolis, retired to another part of
the auditorium while the regular con-
vention heard a stirring keynote
speech by the Hon. Einar Hoidale in
which he berated the present admin
istration for fake promises and for
failing to get at the roots of our pres
ent distress and outlined a construc-
tive program for meeting the depres-
sion.
Pine county delegates were we'll
represented in the convention. DIR.
F. F.. Callahan of Pokegama, county
chairman, served on the credentials
committee. Viggo Justesen of AskOv,
served on the resolutions committee
and in addition was selected as one
of the delegates to the Chicago con-
vention. He was also a delegate to
the Democratic national convention
held in Houston, Texas, in 1928.
Since the convention last week was
called for the sole purpose of select
ing delegates to the national conven-
ton, the business of writing a plat
form and arranging a state ticket was
turned over to committee composed
of all county chairmen and the State
Executive committee which will meet
later for this purpose.

Reunion.
Gotta Ljungberg, the Swedish opera
singer who suddenly has become a
star of the first magnitude on the
stage of the Metropolitan Opera, New
York, last week had the surprise. of
her life: Into her dressing room
stepped a man who announced that
he was her brother; and so he was.
Twenty years ago he had left the
family home in Sweden, and since he
never communicated with his rela-
tives, they completely lost track of
him. Now his sisters American fame
inspired him to look her up, and the
result was delightful reunion, cele-
brated in the Brooklyn home of the
diva's long lost brother and his wife.
