day morning, with about forty passen-
gers, It is said that, no part Of the
states money taken to Pierre to be
counted is on that train. The, Milwau-
kee is completely tied UP and it will be
several days before an attempt will be
made to OPEN the Great Northern line
between Watertown and Huron. All
