Suicide at Ellsworth.

Henry Siemer, a well known German farmer living three miles, north of Ellsworth, committed suicide by hanging on Wednesday morning. He climbed up a tree, fastened one end of a small rope to a branch, slipped the noose at the other end over his head and jumped off. He was not discovered until life was extinct. The coroner was called, but he decided an inquest was unnecessary. Mr. Siemer had been in poor health for some time, and melancholia brought on by this and business difficulties is held responsible for his rashness. He is the father of eleven children.

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.
