The effects which he left behind him contain a shaving set, tooth brushes and moni- cure set, besides several changes of clothing. According to the hotel authori- tles, the three pleces of baggage found in Captain Howard’'s room after his death were all that he had, so that it is not probable that he carried a traveling bag when he left the hostelry on July 11 never to return. That Captain Howard exerted a fever- 1sh effort to place his on the market during his stay in San Francisco is evinced by the numerous ad- dresses of mining men which appear in Besldes attempting to interest and” Charles Buttcrs In his William project, his notes show that he called on 5 Wilkins, 39 Flood buflding, who is now in Alaska; H.

His friend escaped injury. The two trains were the Twin City Lim- | ited and a fast freight. The limited was ' running as a first section from Oelweln, | | Towa, to Minneapolis. The second section | consisted of an excursion train runnirg | from Des Motnes to Minneapolis and was three hours behind time. The fast freight, | southbound, received en order at Dodge Center reading that the second section of | the passenger train was three hours late. | | The crew evidently misread the order and attempted to make Vlasaty tiding, be- tween Dodge Center and Hastings, Minn., | | belleving that it was the lmited that was| late. Meanwhile the limited was pounding | | along at reguler speed and met the freight | | head-on, fust after it had rounded a curve | | at Viaeaty. The morning was fcggy and | | neither engineer saw the other train in| | time to stop, although the engineer of the | Iimited had applied the alr brakes, | | That the two trains came togetner with | | terrific force was evidenced by the fact | | that both engines were badly dumaged, | but they remained standing upright upon the tracks. The baggage and buffet cars | were completely wrecked and turned | | cross-wise twith the tracks. The first| sleeper back of the buffet was smeshed | in the forward end. | The rear four cars remained intact on | the track. These cars were used 1o bring | the dead and injured to St. Paul und Min- | neapolls, where the injured were given | | surgical attention. None of the passen- gers were serfously injured, but cuts and bruises were freely distributed and the | utmost confusion prevailed afrer the im-| 4 pact of the two trains. | The baggageman was burfed underneath a pile of trunks when the car was lifted off the track, but was taken out unin- jured.
