A freight train had left the siding but a short time before and owing to the snow and ice the switch did not fully close. The loco motive, tender, mail car and the front trucks of the baggage car passed over the switch safely but the rear trucks of the baggage car took the second track, carrying several coaches with it. Further along another switch car ried three of the coaches to the third track while tbe rear sleeper stuck to the main rails. The middle coaches flowed up the ties and rails for 500 feet and when the coupling broke be tween the fourth and fifth coach the air brakes brought the train to a standstill with" the derailed cars half buried in sand. The engineer knew nothing of what was happening until the brakes set. A wrecking train was sent out from Commissio Ma Dakota Coal Produce Co. New Salem, N. D. QUALITY THE BEST SERVICE PROMPT...

The wheels of the heavy pullman coaches cut clear through the ties in the middle of the rails on two tracks, grinding tha wood to splinters. The swaying and jarring of the coaches caused a panic among the passengers, throwing them from side to side but injuring none of them except an old lady crippled wth rheumatsm who cried out in pain from the violent shaking up she received. A large force of workmen were rushed to the scene and despite the intense cold it is believed trains will be able to pass the wreck in a few, hours. Freight. i«-Wrecked.
