The eastbound Union Pacific pass

river, was approaching Solomon from

the depot, safely but as it reached
the second switch broken hange on
a wheel of a car in the center OF the
train threw the car to the switch
while the remainder Of the train re-
manned on the main track.
The front end OF the train broke
loose and went on but the injured cal
turning sidewise blocked the passage
Of the dining car and Pullmans and
all left the track, but fortunately did
not turn over. Several trucks were
broken, the cars were badly bruised
and the track was torn up. Somt
additional cars were taken from the
Solomon Valley branch train and the
passengers in the side tracked cars
were put on board, the train proceed.

Wild Bills Grave Marked by q Suit.
ahle Monument


In Abilene's history no name is
more famous than that Of its one
time officer Wild Bill, who now lies
buried in the mountains in Dakota
One Of the most conspicuous graves
in Mount Moriah cemetery, Dead
wood, is that Of City Marshal j. b.
Hickock, who was known throughout
the west as Wild Bill. Over it is q
marble bust Of Hickock, and around
it is a marble fence. In the summer
of 1876 Deadwood, then in the first
year Of its existence, was filled with
gamblers and desperadoes. Murders
and robberies were Of such frequent
occurrence that the advocates Of law
and order concluded to rid the town
Of the desperadoes.
Wild Bill seemed TO be the leader
for the hazardous enterprise and he
was accordingly made city marshal.
He had killed many "bad man.
while officiating as peace officer in
Abilene, Hays City and other lively
towns. He was quick on the "draw"
and sure in his AIM and the mem
bers OF the lawless element were well
aware that Wild Bill would enforce
the law to the letter. His removal
was Of first importance, and it is said
that the desperadoes hired Jack Nc
Call to kill him. This was no sine
cure, rs Bill had killed scores Of men
in fair fight and never needed a second
shot in on encounter. During the
war ten despefadoes under the leader
ship Of one McKandlass attacked HIN
| in his cabin in south Nebraska, and
Bill killed everyone Of them single
handed. During the fight he was
stabbed in 10 places and had II buck
shotin his BODY,
Mccall, however, waited for e favor
able opportunity, and one day when
Wild Bill's back was turned shot him
dead Wild Bill had faithful friends
who were true to his memory. One Of
them Colorado Charlie, hunted down
the murderer and procured his execu-
ton at Yankton, and The others
erected the monument that nov
marks his grave. Captain Jack Craw-
ford, the poet scout, recently lectured
in the Black Hills and raised the
money to build the marble fence that
surrounds the grave.
