More business has been disposed of in the district
court during the past week than in any other week
during the term.
Our report last week concluded with the case of
Thomas Foley, which had been called for trial. Foley
was indicted for assault in the second degree. The

Blumeneau the defendants were permitted to plead
guilty to assault in the third degree.

indictment for horse stealing. He plead not guilty,

The case of the State vs. Joseph Stearns, charged
with incest, was called last Friday and the jury
empanneled. In the afternoon the jury was dismissed
until Monday forenoon. The case went to jury
Wednesday evening and a verdict of guilty was

exceptionally revolting depravity on the part of
those concerned.

week indicted for selling liquor to minors on six

The last jury case was that of the State vs. David
Tripp. No defense was made and the defendant was
found guilty.
The jury was then dismissed and the court cases were

sentenced when the other business is concluded.

OVER 12-FOOT BANK
Rock Island Passenger Train is
Wrecked Near Ellsworth Saturday.
Ten Badly Injured -- Score
More Hurt -- Coaches Upset and Roll Into Ditch.
Luverne, Minn., Nov. 3. -- A Rock
Island passenger train bound to Sioux Falls,
S.D., from Chicago, was derailed three miles
west of Ellsworth at 7:30 o'clock this evening,
and was thrown down a 12 foot embankment,
injuring ten passengers seriously and inflicting
slight injuries and bruises on twenty more. The
wreck was caused by a spreading of the rails
from an unknown cause.
The seriously injured:
Frank M. Brown, Montpelier, Vt.,
cut about head and injured internally.
Charles Shade, Rock Rapids, Iowa
back and side badly hurt, head but and several
ribs broken.
Miss Sadie Kramer, Sioux Falls,
S.D., face badly cut, injured internally.
Philip Marshall, Chicago, head
cut and back injured.
Arthur Page, Des Moines, Iowa
traveling man, injured internally and about the
head.
John Whitney, Rock Rapids, Iowa,
badly cut about the head.
Mrs. Savage, Rock Rapids, Iowa,
back, head and body hurt and injured internally.
Two little boys belonging to Mrs.
Savage; one three years old, hurt seriously; the
other seven, slightly injured.
Mrs. W.H. Bowers, Rock Rapids,
Iowa, back hurt and head cut.
Eight year old son of Mrs.
Bowers, fatally injured.
Six year old daughter of Mrs.
Bowers slightly injured.
The regular passenger train had
been cut into at Ellsworth in order to run a
special to Luverne and the train that was
wrecked was made only of one day coach and a
baggage coach. There were forty passengers in
the day coach.
The train was running at high
speed after leaving Ellsworth. Nearing that
place where the train was wrecked, the engineer
thought that the track looked a little peculiar,
but decided that it was only an optic illusion.
When the rain came to where the rails spread it
was going with undiminished speed.
Suddenly there was a creaking of
bolts and the coaches gave a lung, jumped the
track and bumped along on the ties, breaking the
windows in the cars, loosening the seats and
creating a panic among the passengers. Almost
instantly the coaches gave a second lunge and
were precipitated twelve feet below into a
gravel pit.
The passenger coach turned over,
pinning several passengers to the ground and
hurling others with great violence against the
sides of the coach.
Special trains were run from
Ellsworth and Rock Rapids to the scene of the
wreck, and the injured were hurried to hospitals
and private homes, where they received medical
attention. All of the Rock Rapids people who
were injured were taken to their homes, while
the others were taken to Ellsworth. Marshall
Paige and Miss Kramer were taken to Luverne.
While at least ten of the
passengers were seriously injured, it is not
known whether their injuries will prove fatal or
not. However, it is stated that the eight year
old son of Mrs. W.H. Bowers of Rock Rapids was
so badly injured internally that he cannot
recover.
Some of the passengers escaped
with apparently no injuries.

ELOPEMENT RUMORED.
Col. J.N. Holbrook, the
Auctioneer, Alleged to Have Left For Parts
Unknown.
Considerable of a scandal was
stirred up this week by the rumor that Col. J.N.
Holbrook, the well known auctioneer, had eloped
with Mrs. Will Thompson, the wife of the
proprietor of the Ideal restaurant. As
verification of the rumor the pair have been
seen together at Sioux Falls, Mitchell and other
points in South Dakota.
Some time ago Mrs. Thompson
became dissatisfied with her domestic relations,
and demanded of her husband a division of the
property, saying she was going to leave him. The
demand was complied with and Mrs. Thompson left,
ostensibly for Illinois, to visit relatives, but
in reality going only as far as Sibley, where it
is alleged she was joined later by Mr. Holbrook.
A baggageman who runs on the
Sioux Falls branch of the Omaha line, says he
met the pair face to face on the streets of
Mitchell Monday, and as he personally knew both
parties there was no mistake as to identity.
Other parties who knew them had seen them at
other points in South Dakota. Mr. Thompson is
greatly enraged over the escapade of the pair,
and threatens dire vengeance on the man he
regards as the despoiler of his home. From
evidence that has accumulated the past week it
is apparently a clear case of elopement,
carefully planned beforehand, and it does not
seem possible at this time that the pair can
return and render an acceptable explanation of
their conduct. Both leave a spouse and grown up
children, and their conduct seems inexplicable.
The South Dakota authorities have been notified
to be on the lookout for the pair and they will
undoubtedly be apprehended and punished if they
have been guilty of any wrong doing. Mr.
Holbrook left some unfulfilled professional
engagements, which caused considerable
inconvenience to the parties interests.
Married.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Bish, in
Clary addition, was the scene of a pretty home

friends. The contracting parties are estimable

whom we join in extending congratulations.
