Enderlin, X. D., Dec. 24.—Eight men
were killed outright and thirty-seven
persons were injured, some probably
fatally, when the southbound train on
the Minneapolis. St. Paul and Sault
Ste. Marie crashed into a switch en
gine in the railroad yards here at 2:10
o’clock Sunday morning,
<>ne of the injured died after his re
moval from the wreck, and six others,
it Is thought, cannot survive their In
juries. All of those killed were in the
smoking car, which was completely
telescoped.
Train Was Crowded.
The train was crowded with people
bound for their homes In the East to
spend tiie Christmas holidays. The en
gineer had just blown his whistle for
th^s station, and many of the passen
gers were on their feet when the crush
came. They were thrown into writhing
heaps on the floor of the car.
verturned stores soon set Are to
the wrec kage, and the rescuers had to
work hard to cheat the flames of vic
tims. Only a few of the passengers In
lie day coaches were injured. The
leepers did not leave the rails, and
there were no casualties In the Pull
man car**.
List of the Dead.
Following is the list of the dead:

Engine Crev/s Jumped.
Both engine crews saved their lives
by jumping. It is said the switch en
gine had been given a portion of the
running time of the passenger train In
which to shift cars in the yards, and
It was supposed that the passenger
train had made up more of its lost
time than had been anticipated by the
crew of the switch engine.
The train wrecked was the accommo
dation which runs from Moosejaw, Sas
katchewan, to St. Paul. It was about
two hours inte and was going at a
rapid rate.
Engines Totally Wrecked.
Both engines were totally wrecked
and the passengers were thrown down
a small embankment at the side of the
track. Several of*the day coaches were
turned bottom side up and the passen
gers pinned beneath the wreckage.
Rescue parties left Enderlin, which is
the division headquarters of the
road, and worked until daylight taking
the dead and injured from the debris.

TRIBUTE TO SAM JONES
IN ‘AMERICAN REPUBLIC'
No finer tribute or tenderer bns beer
written of Georgia’s great evangelist, Rev
Ham .tones, than appears in the Initial nuin
her of Sidney C’. Tapp’s new magazine,
American Republic.
Mr. Tapp has written of the dead evangel
1st under the heading, “Sam Jones Duilded
Greater Than Alexander the Great.” Ia
language rich with feeling and appreciation,
the writer tells of the grief that tilled every
heart when the news was flashed—"Ham
Jones is dead.” lie paint* the? scene of the
funeral train moving into the cilpitnt city
hearing the distinguished dead, and the sor
row so plainly mirrored In every face as
the thousands moved by to look for the
last time upon the still form of him who
had moved multitudes to a higher life. The
riter says:
"The proud images of great sons of the
great commonweu 1th of a splendid civiliza
tion seem' to have been guarding the mortal
remains, not of a man who had led a charge
iu battle, not of a man who hnd produced
carnage and death, not of a man who had
directed the helm of the ship of state, not
of a man who had interpreted and con
strued the laws of his country, hut of a
man who had told the ‘old, old story’ to
the plain people.”
In dosing his beautiful tribute. Mr. Tapp
ends with the following titling words:
"This Is the flrst opportunity we have
had to pay a just tribute to "your great
life. It Is ended and humnnltv Is better
by you having lived. We are all standing
In the full glow of the coming sunset; be
hind us are the shadows on the track; be
fore us He the dark valey and river;
when we mingle with Its dark waters we
would east one lingering look for the Star
of Hope and lose ourselves In that saving
faith tbnt guided you over and then uwnke
In the Eternal Flty, when* you iiud nil the
deemed are at rest, and there will be no

NEWSBOYS' CHRISTMAS
MADE HAPPIER BY GIFT
FROM THEIR OLD FRIEND
Rather frosty work, selling newspa
per* such days as these, Isn't It?
The little fellows try to keep warm
by running and yelling, hut the Angers
beneath tho ragged mittens are mighty
stiff and blue sometimes.
If you have ever been a newsboy
yourself—then you know what It means
to run around corners where the wind
blows cold, to dodge among street cars
and motor cars and yell, "Extry! All
about the big wreck," ami all for a
penny or two.
A. K. Hawkes, the viaduct merchant,
lias thought of the boys. He used to be
newsboy, away back when papers
were different from those of today—
long before he came to Atlanta to build
up a business from capital begun by
selling those same papers orrthe street.
He has thought of them in a substan
tial way.
"Here are twenty-five brand-new
dollar bills, 'Juiit from the printers,”
said Mr. Hawkes to The Georgian. "I
want you to give one, with this letter,
to each of the twenty-five boys who
seem to need It moat.”
Each note was enclosed In an envel
ope, with a little letter of Christmas
cheer to the recipient from Mr.
Hawkes. Those dollars will mean a
whole lot to the little fellows. Many a
Christmas gift for mother or sister,
many a warm muffler which the boys
have watched In the show windows as
something far beyond their reach will
have a new owner before the newsboy
have gone home for the night.
This Is not the first Christmas that
the newsboys have known the gener
osity of Mr. Hawkes. For years he has
given them something on Christmas
day.
SALESMF.N-SLEUIHS WATCH
OVER JEWELRY COUNTERS
“You
Is growing rapidly.
THE FINAL SHOPPING
can he done here best of all
Jewelry, Silver, Watches,
Art Wares, Brass Novelties,
Clocks, Crystal Lamps,
Diamonds.
M aier & Berkele
utd be siu prised.” remarked
a salesman sleuth. In a
Whitehall street Jewelry store, "how
many ’bisters’ Christmas time brings
forth. And they are people who would ley
not be expected to do such tilings un- ’
less you were on the watch, for that
sort of a game."
Although it is not generally known,
most up-to-date jewelry stores employ,
at this time of the year, expert detec
tives, sent to them by agencies In the
North, who are expert jewelry salesmen
as well. These agencies can supply
detectives who are exj»ert In any kind
>f work, and besides selling goods, they
have their eyes constantly open for
shop-lifters and sneak thieves. In the
language of crooks and detectives or
cops, as crooks call them, a shop
lifter who works jewelry stores Is a
'Mister.’ and about this time of the
year they work their graft harder than
at any other time. The crowds which
till the stores make their work easier.
In a well-known Whitehall street
Jewelry store there is an expert sales
man. sent tpere for the holidays, and
to look at him, one would never imag
ine lie was a detective. But he is, and
he Is constantly watching his custom
ers. •
"If precautions were not taken." he
continued, "the lo$s to Jewelry stores
at this time of the year w’ould be an
Immense one. Only this morning I de
tected a well-dressed woman priming
away a brooch set with diamonds. And
when I called the turn she didn't
scream or faint. She Just nervily re
marked that it was her mistake. She
was a 'bister*, and an expert at that. |
On Saturday u well-dressed man at
tempted to switch a phoney diamond
ring In a tray filled w ith genuine dia
monds. This is a game that Is often
worked successfully, and ordinary jew
elry clerks will get worked If their
■es are turned away for an Instant.
These phoney diamonds look like
genuine ones at a glance, and It Is gen
erally not till later on that the swindle
is discovered.”
And all tho time this detective-sales
man was talking his eyes were taking
In everything that went on In the store.
