VIM. Fades went to Medora few
days ago to get team of mules
which John Fisher had purchased
from Robert Roberts. He stopped at
Beltield over night and the next
morning found that one OF the mules
had been Shot and killed. The team
was turned loose with other stock
and one of the mules got at hay
stack belonging to Carl Solomon, who
when he discovered this secured a
shot gun and deliberately shot the
mule down. Solomon was arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Tuttle and brought
here. The trial is in progress us we
go to press. Mr.. Fades had two good
sized hogs in the wagon, one for him
self and one for Fisher. They both
escaped during the night and Fishers
hog was killed on the railroad.
On Friday of last week stock
train was wrecked near Medora.
Several cars were smashed to splin-
ters and about seventy-live head of
fat cattle, destined for the Chicago
market, killed. The wreck was
caused by a rail which had been re-
moved by the section men who were
repairing the track and from what
we can learn they had placed out
flag to stop any approaching train,
supposing the distance at which it
was placed from where they were at
work to be great enough for train
to stop, but it happened to be at the
top of a heavy grade which made it
impossible for the engineer to check
the train. He reversed his engine
and he and the fireman jumped to
save their lives. Another stock train
was wrecked Tuesday near the same
place and six cars of cattle were
thrown into the ditch although only
a few of the cattle were killed. The
cause of this accident was broken
axle.
