4 Manufacturing Business
can easily be established at Pierre, ow-
ing to the low freight rates obtained,
competition between river and railroad
transportation, the abundance Of wood,
which is now selling for 81 q cord, and
the immense quantity of coal and other
raw material in the adjacent reservation
west of the river.
a Jobbing Trade
has already beendeveloped by Pierre mer-
chants with the Black Hills and the
country up and down the river, and
with q lower rate of freight than can be
obtained at Watertown or Huron, or
any other point in South Central Dako-
ia, and being the only railroad point on
the boundary of the reservation soon to
be opened, Pierre Is destined to become .
great jobbing center.
Activity in Real Estate
began last year and more sales were
made than in the previous two years Of
the city's growth, and there has been q
healthful, gradual advance in the price
of city property, and every one has made
money by operating in real estate. The
indications point to an early springs
business and an advance in prices.

who he was or where he came from. He

age is about "a, and his appearance is

out. Two Men Killed Outright and
Others Fatally Scalded.

A terrible railroad accident happened
at Pixies Greek, Wis, on the afternoon
of the I'd. The particulars, furnished
by parties who were on the ground, are
as follows: A construction train, with
the Aat-cars loaded with piles, and &C.
companied by twenty-five men, all told,
left Washburn after dinner to repair O
wash.out one-haif mile south of Bayfield,.
The train was running at about fifteen
miles per hour when it struck wash
out just north of the Pike Greek bridge,
and the engine and tender plunged
headlong into it. All hands we're riding
on the tender and in the cab of the en-.
gine at the time of the accident, and as
the engine made the fatal plunge one OF
the rails ran up through the boiler and
fire-box, letting the steam and wa.
ter escape into the cab and tender
scalding the inmates in frightful man-
ner. A Masonic lodge of Ashland was
conducting funeral short distance
from the scene of the accident, and the
members hurriedly repaired to the spot.
The sight was sickening indeed. Men
with flesh hanging in shreds from faces,
hands, and bodies we're lying on the
grass or among the ruins. One man
was found dead, his skull crushed, and
otherwise mang'ed Another died after
being taken from the wreck. The work
of gathering up the wounded and hunt
ing up the missing was prosecuted with
the greatest diligence. A message was
sent to Washburn for speeiaf train,
which arrived shortly after. DR.. Han.
