A Young Lady Kined by the
Cars at Monument.

Two young ladies from Topeka
went to Oberlin last week in search of
timber claims. Unable to find them
in that section, they came to this
place, and secured the services of Mr..
J. K. Nncleve to locate them. He
found them locations in St John
county, and Monday morning they
were to start for home. About day
light they heard the sound of an APP
preaching train, and supposed it to be
the regular accommodation and would
stop at Monument, they walked up
the track, and, when near the water
tank, the engine struck Miss Hubbard.
one OF the young ladies, throwing her
from the track, bruising her terribly,
from the effects of which she died at
three o'clock Monday afternoon. The
other young lady, Miss Grizzly, stepped
from the track and escaped uninjured.
The train was an extra and passed
the Monument grade at high rate Of
speed. Relatives of the deceased
were telegraphed for.
