A train wreck in which a num- ber of Bemidii people and resi- dents of other northern Minne- sota towns were seriously and some perbaps fatally, ivjured, occurred at the crossing of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific tracks av St, Clond yes- terday, when a Great Northern freight train with over 50 cars struck the rear car of the North- ern Pacific passenger from St. Paul. The passenger train was mak- ing its daily run north from the twin cities to Brainerd. The train stopped at the St. Cloud crossing, whistled and had start- ed up again when the heavy freight engine crashed into the rear car, which had just reached the crossing. The car was lifted into.the air and thrown a distance of 50 feet; landing- on Hol—i;lay Gifts The Holidays are a few weeks away, but it is a good idea to. look around early.

The fire was caused by one of the inmates of the es- tablishment tilling a lamp with gasoline. mistaking it for kero- sene, and afterwards lighting it. The lamp exploded and in a short {time the house was a mass of | lames. | escaped with but scanty raiments to cover them. The house was | valued at about $500. its side and top. The car contained about 25 passengers bound northward, and while some may die of the injuries received, it is remark- 1y killed, {landed the passengers not in- jured in the collision secured {hard work succeeded in making their exit from the car, The wounded were taken from the car and brought to the St. Cloud hospital, where their in- juries were dressed and where eight of them are now confined. Among the most seriously of ithe injored are John Aber. crombie, state drainage engineer, who at the present time is mak- ing his headquarters in Bemidji, and Mrs. C. C. Blake of this city. jMr. Avercrombie received a i broken collar bone besides in- ternal injuries. Heis in a criti- ical conditien av the S5, Cloud hospital. Mrs Blake received several broken ribs and internal injuries. At present she is con- fined at her home at Nymore in a semi-conscious state. The cause of the disaster is given as being the giving out of the air brakes on the freight train. The Great Northern track is down grade for several miles from the crossing and the high speed. When the passen: jger engineer whistled for the crossing the freight engineer at- tempted to stop his train but the | brakes refused to work with the | result that the engine struck the rear car. Many remarkable escapes of passengers who were in the i wreck were told last night. .S D. Works, who was only slightly |injured, said that when the col |lision occcurr d he was thrown from one side of the car to the other, his feet going through a i window of the car and his head i striking the hat rack. The car slid on its side for a moment af- ter it had landed and Mr. Works | was forced to run along with it while his feet were through the window. Mr. and Mrs. A. Wall were sitting close to several pas- sengers who were badly injured but fai'ed to gat even a scratch. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Parker also came out of the wreck with out slight jnjuries. Mrs. Cuoning bam of Northcme was uninjured in the collision, but her two year old son, who was being held by Mrs. Cunningham, received a broken shoulder. One reason why so.many north country people were - injured in the wreck is that the rear car of the trainis a through car from the twin cities to Northome, and passengers bound for northern pints usually take this car. as {no change is necessary. i The car was badly damaged by i the contact with the freight en- | 2ine. which was one of the huge | moguls used by the Great North: jern, The rooms of the hotel have dake Dhote FKotel The Lake Shore Hotel is now in charge of Ole Anderson, the former proprietor of the estab- lishment, who will conduet it in the future. been renovated and redecor: ated and the table service has been improved, making the Lake Shore oue of the best One Dollar a day houses in the city.
