The. Nellie Peck broke a shaft below the
Coal Banks and the engineer came to Benton
Tuesday evening to secure the necessary ma
terial for repairing the break. He left this
morning with lumber, iron and all things
needed to put the Nellie in sailing trim

Friday.
The Benton made wonderful time on its
last trip down the river. Mr. T. G. Power
was o. board, and, surprising to say, he
with other passengers arrived at st. Paul in
four days and q half from Benton. AS it re-
quires twentY-four hours to make the trip by
rail from Bismarck to st. Paul it will be
seen that the Benton glided down the river
from this place to Bismarck in three days
and q half. That is pretty quick time.

Killed by n Bl0Sto

Last Wednesday morning the community was shocked to learn of the accidental killing of MT. Grove Barnes at the Barnes lime kilns about mile north of this place, by a flying stone thrown from 8 blast in the quarry. The accident occurred at about nine o'clock. MT. Barnes was driving by on load of lime, and although the red flag was hoisted, the signal of warning, he did not heed it, having driven by perhaps a hundred times before when blast was about to go of, without sus. taining any injury. The blast was loaded in the opposite side of the quarry, about two hundred feet from the road, and was pointed toward him. As he was passing the most dangerous point, Fred. Reel, the boss of the quarry, and others, seeing the danger, shout. ed to him, to whip up his horse and hurry by, and his uncle, MT. Weston Barnes, who was on the seat with him, sprang from the wagon and ran ahead, out of harms way, but Grove paid no attention to their warnings, and al. lowed his horse to walk leisurely along The blast exploded few seconds after the quarry. men shouted, the air was filled with flying rocks, piece of which, about the size of a tumbler, struck Grove squarely in the face, crushing it in as if it had been an egg shell, and knocking him over the back of the sea. between the barrels, killing him instantly In less time than it takes to write it all the men about the works were on the spot, but life was extinct before they reached him. He was picked up and taken to the house of Mir Edwin Barnes, and Dr. Camp was summoned. The face was mangled beyond all recognition, from the chin up to the eyes, and bruise near the right eye was sewed up, so that the eyes and forehead could be exposed to view at the funeral. The lower portion of the face was concealed by silk handkerchief. MT Barnes had charge of the teaming of th' Company, and was a son of the lato Harvey Barnes, who died about two years ago. H' was 25 years of age, and leaves young wife who has the heartfelt sympathy of wide cir cle of friends, who mourn the untimely deatl of the deceased. MT. Barnes had lived near ly his whole life in this place and was highl! esteemed by all. The funeral services wer held at his late residence on Friday afternoon Rev, MT. Bassett of the Congregational churcl | officiating. The remains were inferred in tn
 East Canaan cemetery, with Masonic honors and there was an unusually large attendance thirty.six teams following the body to it's fins resting place.

Crushed to Death.

The burden of sorrow in this community was doubled last Thursday morning by the announcement that Michael Mcclure of this place, brakeman on conductor Lakes ore train on the H. & c. W. R. R. was crushed to death while coupling cars on the south Y, opposite Union depot He was "riding in a car of ore, to be coupled to car loaded with steel rails, which being longer than the car, extended over either end several inches. As Mike neared the iron car, he applied his in front of it, it is presumed, without noticing that the ends of the iron rails extended over the edge, and as he was preparing to couple the cars together, they struck, and the ends of the rails striking him in the breast, pressed him against the end of the ore car, crushed the life out of bis body and the rebound hb- erated him, so that he fell over on his back, outside the track. Conductor Lake who saw him fall, at once rushed to his assistance and picked him up, but poor Mike gasped only twice, and all was over. Engineer Seeley of the H. R. R. gravel train, which happened to be standing near the depot, saw the accident, and said he trembled when he saw Mike jump between the cars. He was taken to his fa- ther's residence north of this place, and the frantic grief of his mother was heart rending The funeral services, in charge of Rev. Father McElroy of Lakeville, were held at St, Joseph's church Saturday forenoon, and the procession comprised nearly 100 teams, which followed the hearse to Sheffield, where the remains were buried. Mike was eighteen years of age, and was young man of excel lent habits and promise, and his tragic death is sincerely mourned by his many acquain- tances and friends
