Milbank, Egan g. Sioux City Ry.

Since the organization of the Madi-
son, Sioux City & Northern Ry. Co.,
our people have been wondering what
effect it would have on the Milbank,
Egan & Sioux City Ry. which has been
organized for some time and has q
route selected through this county.
Mr.. VIM. Brooke, of this city, is
president OF the latter company and
has been corresponding with the Sec
retary of mis- company. Below Is q
copy of a letter received by the secre-
tary from II. P. Gere who is ex-presi-
dent OF the s. G. & N. Ry. Co.
Sioux City, May 20, 1891.
DIV. DIGGs Esq,
Secy., Milbank, S. d.
Dear Sir:-Your esteemed favor OF
the 18th is received. and l have re-
ferred the same to f. c. Hills Esq.,
who is for the current year president
OF the Sioux City & Northern.
Should the efforts OF the parties
interested in the Madison line prove
successful, do not see that it is likely
to interfere with your proposed line
to the north, as the Madison route
diverges quite sharply to the north
west. and leaves your proposition to
be considered on It's merits.
Il am confident the S. G. & N. people
would be very glad to have connec.
tlon with your region.
Yours very Truly,
II. P. GERE.
Secretary Diggs states that be sees
no reason why the road should not be
built from Mllbank to Egan and urges
activity by all Interested.
TO anybody acquainted with the
country through which the Milbank,
Egan & Sioux City road is to run it
seems as if the investment would be
a paying one. The people in this sec
tion of the state begin to realize the
necessity of having a north and south
road and the company should begin
action at once. Let everybody pull
together and urge immediate action
as the right of way can be secured
much easier at present than it can
when the lands have become more
valuable.

Fatal Accident.

Last Tuesday Lou Morse and Frank
Dobb, of Coleman, were digging q well
on the Hackett farM south OF this
city and had gone down about eighty
feet when they struck q rock. Haul.
ing the drill up. Morse got ON the rope
and went down to see what could be
When within about twenty feet of the
bottom he called out "haul me out,
quick!" His partner responded and
had him near the surface when Morse
fell back to the bottom OF the we'll.
After q few means all was silent.
Dobb then started to 60 down the
we'll to rescue Morse but was plr-
suaded to tie himself to the rope,
which he finally reluctantly did, but
not with any degrees of safety. He
was then let down, but only got as far
as Morse did when he too called to be
raised, quickly. When within about
ten feet of the surface he let 60 his
hold and would have fallen to the
bottom of the well had his toe not
caught in the rope the manner in
which he had fastened himself to the
rope proved of no consequence. Viii.
ling hands hauled the suffocated man
to the surface of the ground and by
hard work he was restored to con-
sciousness. A lighted lantern was let
down in the well and it Immediately
went out. Then cotton saturated
with kerosine oil was placed in a pail
and ignired and sent down to try and
destroy the deadly vapor, but it too
was snuffed out.
Then the people began trying to
recover Morse's body and after work
ing nearly all night they succeeded in
securing and bringing the dead body
to the surfare.
The unfortunate man leaves IL vile
and one child. Mr.. Dobb is q single
man.
Our informant states that Morse e
Dobb had dug many wells and had
never before had any trouble with
damp. 1t will, however, be a warning
to Others engaged in like business.
The hole has been filled up we under

When Sapcn6eld reached the Harmon
woman he found her tied to post,

abdomen was a cash twelve inches long
and so deep as to leave the bowels pro-
truding. She will die probably.
