Devil Lake Mystery of a Sunken Lake Monster
A long Wisconsin era tale blends Chippewa legend and reports of a sea serpent or monster in Devil Lake near Totten Fort. Witnesses recount a turtlelike creature, sunken land and a toxic stench blamed on vanished warriors, with sightings from Old Iron Heart and Gov Ordway era. The piece ties local superstition to riverine anomalies and ongoing lore.

Railroad Accident Near Midway Ends With No Hurt
A midweek Saturday railroad mishap near Midway ten miles east of the city involved 19 threast bound train cars. Engineer Conklin and Conductor Alexander guided the rear coach off the track after a broken rail caused a switch at a small bridge. The entire train except the engine toppled onto its side, but all sixteen passengers escaped injury. The incident featured a rear coach wrecking the forward section and a quirky episode with a passenger referred to as a gentleman from Jerusalem who fled the car before the plunge, rode a wagon to Lakota, then rejoined the eastbound service. The westbound train reached Devil Lake around 11 p.m. with minor damages totaling about 150. The event was noted as a rare accident with no serious injuries.

Man Struck By Ice Heat At Pioneer Press Palace
At a Monday night spectacle in the fee palace a spectator collapsed under the great tower. Doctors and a patrol wagon aided the unconscious man, a city visitor. Officials believe electric lights heated Devila Lake Ice, causing latent heat to flare and the block to strike him. Recovery expected. Fire later destroyed the Ryan Drug building on Third and Wacoumatreche in St Paul, with estimated losses around $250,000. Fire originated in the drug store.
