RAPID CITY, June Correspond
ence of THE EBEE.-Itapid City is located
IN the foothills, at point where a mar
row gap opens into the mountain dis
trict. There is peculiar fitness about
this position, and il seems to be a
natural one from which to view the
country. do not mean by this that it
is elevated above the rest, but rather
that the varieties of scenery and resour-
ces are illustrated by what is apparent
TO the observer. The city is on creek
which bears the same name, and which
is deep mountain stream, whose chan
mel is not only never dry, but even in
the sun-glare OF summer is hardly less
voluminous than in spring. 1t is Rapid
creek which through many by-gone
ages has worn the gap before which the
city stands, which Is denominated the
"Gate City''>of the hills.
TO the west of Rapid City are the
mountains and to the east are the prai-
ries. All the rivers of the hills come
down to the plains through canyons and
gulches, and the plains form a peculiar
topography. They are tables, or high
lands and bottoms, or lowlauds. AS the
streams emerge from the mountains
they pass the rugged foothills and then
they how in between the tables. AS
tney go down to mingle with the Mis-
suur their valleys widen and present
wonderful luXuriance. Such is RAPID
valley. The other streams have vale US
as falr, but you will not see their rich
ness as you come in from the east, be-
cause the railroad passes through the
most barren country of all. The val
leys are rich aud many fine farms are
there. The tables, too, am informed,
are susceptible of cultivation, and have
already become heavy producers. Great
herds Of cattle. heavy yields of wheat,
barley, oats and vegetables are the
staples produced, and all find near
market in the mountains.
Now, turn to the west. There the
mineral productions attract the cupidity
of capital and the desires Of industry.
In treating of such subject as mineral
one should be careful, for there is a
proneness " enthusiasm on the part of

Damage to Property.

The Recent Bridge Disaster at Pine Sta
tion, Indiana-A Torpedo that Failed to
Explode Cost Human Life and $4,000
Damage to Property.
CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-The disaster on the
Lake Shore & Michigan Southern rail :
road near Pine station, Ind, twenty
miles east Of Chicago, on Sunday was as
follows: For some time the bridge over
the Little Calumet river has been con-
sidered unsafe and it was determined to
replace it with a new structure Sunday.
Early in the morning work was begun,
and by nine o'clock nothing was left of
the bridge but the girders and rails. A
danger flag was hung at the west end of
the bridge and torpedo placed on the
track about twenty rods further on, to
warn the approaching train.
Twenty minutes latter through fire eight
in charge of Conductor Kessler, came
laundering along from Elkhart. The en-
gineer had no knowledge of the repairs
that were being made upon the bridge,
and for some unacountable reason the
torpedo did not explode to give him
warning. His first intimation of danger
was the glimpse he caught of the red
flag. Quickly reversing the engine he
looked ahead saw the frantic gestcula-
tions Of the workmen and jumped from
the cab. closely followed by the fireman.
The engine passed over the girders with
safety, but just as it reached the other
side the be ans fell and ten cars were
pill ed on top of each other, upon the ice in
the river
The first four cars were loaded with
coal, then came tank of naphtha fol-
lowed by five cars of coke. E. E. Coder,
of Elkhart, was brakeman upon one of the
first cars, and his body now lies at the
bottom of the heap of ruins. A wrecking
party soon arrived and began clearing
away the debris. While thus engaged the
naphtha tank exploded, severely burning
Conductor Kessler.
The wreck was all removed and the
bridge repaired by six O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, and trains are now running
regularly.
The loss to the company on cars and
stock both will probably be about $35, 900,
the rolling stock being fully insured.

A CRUEL MURDER.

William Blakelv Shot and Killed at Wal
lace, Missouri, by the Brother and Fa-
ther of Miss Anna Estes, With Whom
Btakely was Going Home From Church
The Young Lady Nearly Crazed and the
Murderers Jailed.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Jan. 31.-A great crime
and casualty wave has suddenly swept
over the city and vicinity. Closely fol-
lowing the horrible wife murder, which
occurred Sunday afternoon, comes the re-
port of a killing in Wallace, small town
few miles south of this city, which is
even more sickening in its details. About
half-past eight o'clock Sunday night,
VIM. Blakely, eighteen years old, was shot
and killed by VIM. Estes, another young
man of the same age. The murder took
place only a few yards from the Chris
tian Church. Young Blakely had accom-
panied Miss Ann Estes, the sixteen-year-
old daughter of Peter Estes, a farmer
living near Walla ace, and the sister Of the
young man that did the killing, to
churas. The father and brother
both objected to the girl keeping
company with the young man,
and about three weeks ago the girl was
so severely reprimanded that she left
home living with a friend in town. In
the meantime Blakely con tinued to pay
her attention. On Sunday night the girPs
father went to her after church and in
sisted on her not going with Blakely
but to come with him. The
girl refused to do so Young Blake
ly then tried to induce her to go
home with her father, but the young lady
told him that she had accompanied him
to church and would return with him.
The two accordingly left the church, ac-
companied by another young lady friend,
and had not proceeded more than dozen
steps when they met William Estes, the
girls brother. Young Estes immedi-
ately drew revolver and shot Blakely,
the ball entering just below his lips
and lodging in the back of his head.
Peter Estes, the father, then commenced
firing at Blakely, who, by this time, had
drawn his revolver. Blakely turned and
shot at the girls father, but missed him.
The old man then shot Blakely in the
head, and tie young man stepped for
ward and, placing his pistol against
the side of his head, shot him
dead. Father and son have both been
arrested and will be brought to this city
to-day. Blakely was of a splendid fami
ly, but the father objected to his daughter
keeping company with him on several
grounds. 1t is thought the girl will go
crazy, as she has been Frustrated ever
since. Excitement over the affair runs
high
