Those Nebraska farmers who have

Steve Horton Esq, a prosperous
Brule Creek farmer. and a resident
of Dakota since 1858, madet the CouR,
Ter office a peasant call yesterday
afternoon. In speaking of the late
storm Mr.. Horton did not think it
as severe As he has experienced in
Dakota, although it was the worst
for at least IA years. nuling his so
years residence here he has noticed
many changes and developments in
Dakota. % years age the easons
were dryer and hotter in the sum
mel time and colder with less snow
in winter. All the grass there
was on the bottoms and uplands was
a short bunch grass where now
grows luxuriously the tall waving
b%lue.ioint that makes such fine hay.
He says Dakota farmers will come
out of a dry eas in better shape
than an excessive wet me-. 1t re-
9uires but little moisture TO mature
good crops in Dakota. Mr. Horton
is a progressive farmer and the
COURIER is pleased to note that he
has succeeded well and has one of
the finest and best improved farms
in the county. Call again Mr. H.,
our latch string is always out.

FATAL ACCIDENT!
Geo. Ar(and. q Brakeman on
the Milwaukee, Loses His
Life while in the Per-
Torrance of Els
Duties.

The only fatal accident that ever
occurred on the Milwaukee at this
point, happened on last Saturday
evening, between seven and eight
O'Clock, in the killing Of a young
man named Geo. Arland, who cane
To this country from his home in
Ohio. MIR. Arland was employed
as brakeman on the freight train
under the management of Conduct
or Wright, who, when he arrived at
this point, was required to switch
several cars, and the sidetracks be-
ing already pretty we'll filed up, it
became necessary to place cars upon
two different sidetracks for the pur-
pose of getting room. While plac-
ing a box a upon the track south
of the depot it became necessary for
young Arland to make a compiling
between the box and a flat already
standing on the track, and loaded
with railroad iron. Tn the darkness
the unfortunate man, in all pioba-
bility, did not notice the fact hat
the iron on the fat was projecting
over the end of the car a couple of
feet, and stepping between to make
the coupling, was caught between
the ends of the iron and the box
car and crushed to death, no doubt
in an instant. He was caught on
the upper part of the chest and
neck-which was broken--and bruis-
ed considerably about the face. The
engineer stated that when coming
back against the a and supposing
the coupling vas made, he put on
pressure but was unable to move
the a far enough to clear passing
cars OIL the main track, and took
slack of a couple of feet and came
back with force enough to move the
car to a safe position on the side
track. In moving up it is thought
that Mr.. Arland fell from between
the cars to the outside of the track
with one arm across the rail, which
was passed over by ten wheels and
crushed at the elbow. He was car
ried Immediately to the depot and
thence to the court house where an
inquest vas held Sunday morning
in which it was found that no ;,p-
parent blame could attach to any of
the train men employed with him.
Mr.. Arland was a young man only
nineteen years of age, and is spoken
very highly of by his associates as
an industrious and honorable gen.
tleman. His remains were shipped
from here Oh Monday to Sioux City.
What disposition WAS then to be
made of them we did not under
