MORMON IMMIGRANTS
A Train Carrying Them Goes Through a Bridge
Fortunately None Seriously Injured.

fortunately None Seriously Injured.
LYNcHBURG, Va, Sept ga Mormon
emigrant train on the Norfolk & Western
railway was wrecked early this morning
about four miles below this city The
wreck was caused by small bridge giving
away after the engine and baggage car had
passed over. The water in the creek was
very high, caused by one of the heaviest
transforms ever known in this section.
The emigrants numbered 160. Two cars
plunged into the creek, and, strange to say,
no one was killed and only fifteen or twenty
hurt, and none of them seriously. The
first car that went down turned completely
over and is total wreck, and the second
car struck on one end and stood almost per
pendicular. All the passengers were badly
shaken up, but when brought here Elder
Payne, in charge of the party, stated none
were crippled and all would proceed on
their journey as soon as a train could be
made up.

Press and daily Dakotaian. (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1880-1889, 1889-02-25

AS matter OF propriety the leeisla-
ture of Dakota should provide for the
expenses OF the territory of Dakota for
the next ten months and then adjourn.
We are now so near the end OF our terri
toriai existence that the enactment oi
any more laws is useless proceeding
The constituents of the last territorial
legislature do not expect their repre-
sentatives to waists time, intellect and
cash in the creation OF laws which can be
in force only few months. It is the
very generally expressed sentiment that
the legislature should dissolve itself
without delay. II is even contended by
some, though this is an extreme view
that the Legislature for all OF Dakota has
no right to longer act as sueh-that con-
gress has divided Dakota and that nov
it is two Independent organizations
somewhat void and without form in q
governmental aspect. but no longer one
territory. 1t would be q safe proceed
ing to gait, as, under the organic act
the Legislature possesses authority &c

There seems to be lack Of orgsniza-
tion at the white house. A committee
of Dakota people called on the president
yesterday and asked him to celebrate
Washipgton's birthday by signing the
territorial admission bill, At the same
tine they presented him with handful
OF feathers plucked from Dakota eagle
with which to make pen to use for the
purpose. This morning ct 10 O'Clock
q reporter of the associated press called
as the white house TO inquire when the
ceremony was to take place, and was told
by Colonel Lamont that the president
would not be party to any sneh circus
that he would take time to study the
admission bill and would doubtless
think it necessary TO refer ii to the at
torney general for examination before
giving 1t his approval. AT exactly IL
O'Clock, with pen made from one OF the
eagle feathers. the president attached
his name to the bill, and sent the quill
as q memento to Representative Spring
er, who will pass il down 60 his poster
ity as an heirloom.

A Washington special of the 23i gives
this bit OF Dakota gossip:
In the lobby of the Ebblt house this
morning were number of distinguished
republicans from Dakota. Judge
Moody, senator-elect, who has been here
some time, met his colleague, A. ].
Edgerton. OF Mitchell; and Gov.-elect
Mellette. of Watertown. with John r.
Gamble, of Yankton.a and T. +. Singieser,
who was appointed receiver of public
moneys at Mitchell iust before President
Arthur's term expired. The four last
named gentlemen arrived this morning
TO witness the inauguration ceremonies
They are, of course, delighted over the
action Of the president in signing the
bill yesterday, and feel very much elated
to think that it was done on the an
niversary OF fWsshington's birthday.
1t IS the general belief here that Presi.
den Harrison will appoint Mr.. Mellette
governor OF the territory until the divi.
sion occurs and the two states are sd.
mitsed. II is also thought the sction OF
the Sioux Falls convention two years
ago in electine Mellette governor OF
South Dakota, will be ratified as soon as
the state is divided, and that he will be
the first governor of South Dakota. The
opinion is also general among people
familiar With territorial matters shat
Messrs. Edgertop end Moody will be
the first senators from the new state cI
South Dakota.

the enI of the war by the Kansas Jay

Myra was in the saddle ;c hot pursuit OF
her brothers murderer. The prevalence
of border warfare and the great number
OF struggling troops then in southwestern
Missouri, gave the young daredevil
ample opportunity to show her prowees
and win the Hattery che liked. Although
grief at Allison's death killed MRS
Shirley, the wayward girl never again
went home to stay, but linked hel
fortunes with the famous band OF guerll.
las headed by Qaantrell. John Shirley
