At Michigamme

At 6 o'clock last Saturday evening hand cars of the C&NW and
the South Shore were racing near Michigamme when returning from
work, the latter being in the lead. When at the crossing by the
Michigamme mine a miner named Fred Peterson, who was going home
from work, stepped off the South Shore track to avoid their car,
and was caught by the C&NW car, loaded with six men, running be-
yond control. The car was hurled from the track when it struck
him, and Peterson was so badly injured that he died at 11 o'clock
Saturday night. Two of the men on the car were also hurt, but
not seriously. Peterson, a married man.
