Strange Railroad accident.
AS the Portland express, which

projecting from one of the freight
cars, struck the forward end of the
rear passenger coach, ripping out the
side of the car, and sending glass and
splinters flying into the faces of the
passengers. About Is or 20 of the
ladies in the car were cut by flying

statement as to the actual condition
of the people of Dakota who are re-
ported suffering: Il find things not
so bad as | feared and not so good
as l hoped. There are two centers
of the dry districts, Minor county in
the south and Frank county in the
north, excepting light crop in west
ern Faulk. There was almost
total failure ofcropsin these counties,
and in parts of the adjacent counties,
except to the west, making in each
case dry district somewhat greater
than double the area of each county.
There are many cases of absolute
destitution and would have been suf-
fering but for the prompt assistance
furnished. The railroads are giving
coal and hauling articles free to an
unlimited extent. The people are I'M

stage OF the game, AMI Bryant
went to the bat. He got hit by
! the bail and took first. Cad then
went t. tie tat and made the Ell
! fort of his lie. However he only
made three large ,sswishes" in the
atmosphere. Cowing made a safe
| hit for first, stole second, with
| want OH third. Johnson came TO
/ the rescue with safe hit Tor hrst
and Bryant tailed, amidst the
deafening cheers OF The crowd.
Cowiug made tiird on tile same
hit and Johnson stole second on
the next pitched bail. Martin went
to the bat and famed. Abe Cohn
OF the Clothing Emporium, who
had been backing Carson, fell on
the fence.
Coleman then took the stick,
and a feather dropping on tue home
! plate could have been heard at the
| halt mile post. Johnson and Cow
iag scored on a passed ball. Cole
man than got hit by the ball and
was allowed first. Ii was Nuity's
turn next, and he heftad each
bat before making d selection,
and finally glided up to the home
plate Cummings pitched the
sphere and Nulty whanged it out
past third base, almost a foul.
! Coleman tailed and Nulty took
second on as pretty two Dagger as
was made in the game. Wright
then went to the bat and famed,
leaving NJ ty en- second, and Vir-
glnia had won by score of 6 to 4.
INCIDENTS OF THE GAME.
There was really not one earned
run made during the game as Bryant
got first on being hit by the ball.
| The defeat OF the Carson boys was
probably due to the fact that they
had practiced in different positions
all the week, and were all changed
around in Sundays game. Poor
coaching did its part also. The
umpire made one or two alleged
rank decisions, but couldn't be
bluffpd to reverse them.
Another game will be played
next Sunday at Steamboat Springs
for purse of 500, between the
same mines and probably the same
men.
The Virginia boys were escorted
to the grounds by tho Carson Band
which rendered several fine selec-
tons during the progress of the
game.
The grounds were voted to he
first class, and each club gave the
other three cheers at the close.
