BODY FEARFUlLY MANGLEO

When He Was Thrown to the Ground
and Beneath the wheels-Oc-
CURED at Silver Bow.

G. b. Bedell was instantly killed last
evening at Silver Bow junction by be-
ing run over by several cars. Bedell
was a brakeman on the Utah Northern
and had just come into Silver Bow
with an o. S. l.. train and wac engaged
in switching in the yards when the ac-
cident occurred.
There were no eyewitnesses to the ac-
cident, so far as is known, but the gen.
orally accepted theory among railroad
men is that Bedell was about to make a
coupling between two cars; that he
stopped over too far and the drawhead
STRUCK him in the head, throwing him
TO the ground, when the moving cars
passed over him. He was killed in
stantly.
As Don as possible the trainmen
stopped the train and removed the body
from the track The body of Bedell was
fearfully mangled. and it is thought
that several cars passed over il, besides
being dragged a considerable distance.
The remains We're brought to this city
and taken 10 Sherman's undertaking
rooms. An inquest will be held at 2:30
O'Clock to-day.
The dead man was commonly known
as Bert Bedell. He VAS a young man
and resided at Lima with his wife and
little child. He was a brother of the
night telegraph operator at Silver Bow
Junction and a married sister of his
resides in Butte. He had been en-
ployed as a brakeman on the oregon
Short Line for about a year. His
brother accompanied the body from Sill

RUBBER TIRES.
American Rubber Tire Co. Has an
Agency Here.

The American Rubber Tire Company
of New York, has established an agency
here in the hands Of G. Schuman. The
aim of the company is to supply the
hest tires and no expense has been
shared. no experiment left untried
Rubber tires were first regarded as a
luxury, but to those who have once
tried them they have become neceS-
sity and today are rapidly dlsplaclng
the old style tires on all vehicles. 1t
is claimed for these tires that they pre-
vent rafting, clatter and dlsagreeaDIe
vibration; greatly lessen the draft OF
the vehicle; relieve the horse as we'll
as the passengers. They not only in
crease the pleasure of riding, but tend
TO prOlOng the life Of the carriage ana
save large repair bills. One thing that
is prominent with this company is the
lneatness and manner of fitting the tires
on old or new wheels After the chan
mel has been placed upon the rim, the
retaining wires are passed through the
rubber and doubly twisted with sep
arate right hand and left hand twist,
which defies separation. WhlIe the
mOdus operandi is extremely simple
| and one of which no secret IS made, II
is as effective as some of the other
! more complicated methods. A point
! by which Mr.. Schuman makes saving
| to the purchaser, is by buying direct
from the makers, thereby saving the
middle mans profit
| All sizes of channels and rubber tires
are carried in stock, thereby Obvlatlng
any delay. The last shipment OF rub
Der received consisted of 2,40O feet OF
sufficient for fifty-five sets of tires.
Any one wishing to see the manner
bv which this change from the ole
stvIe tire to one of modern comfort i:
made can do so by applying to q
Schuman. who stands ready to sho7
Those interested the whole method from
beginning to end. Three styles OF tire
are carried in stock, namely: the SOLE
