WRECK ON THE ELKHoRN
Engineer and Fireman Killed Near Blair
Last Sunday.

Engineer and Fireman Killed Near Blair
Last Sunday.
A wreck occurred on the Elkhorn
Sunday afternoon at a small station
a short distance this side of Blair. A
freight train vas running ahead Of the
west-bound passenger train and had
lost little time Ginning the long hill
from the Missouri river, but still had
time to make the siding. The car next
the caboose was a flat car and was
loaded with two-foot sewer thing. AS
this a made the turn to get onto the
switch one of these tilingrolled off and
fell under the the caboose, the trucks
of which were slowed around and the
caboose derailed. The crew were so
panic-stricken that they failed to use
the very little time left, to flag the on
rushing passenger ~train-forty miles
an hour. A sharp curve hides the sid
ing SO that the engineer of the passen-
ger train could not see the trouble
and he struck the freight with hardly
any check Of speed. By force of habit
he reversed his engine, shut of the
steam and applied the air brake, only
to be thrown out of the window of his
cab the next instant and crushed un-
der the water tank which fell over on
him. The fireman was thrown up on
top Of. the baggage car and was con
scious but q few moments, but did not
die for several hours afterward. These
were the only one killed, though q
number of others were more or less in
jured. The courage and presence of
mind Of the engin eer saved a greater
loss Of life.

The Land ONCE stays Mt Rapid city.

The Land Office Stays at Rapid City.
A Washington dispach says that In
spector Green. who was recently sent
to South Dakota to make an investiga-
ton of the question of the removal of
the land office from Rapid City to
Deadwood, has made his report to
Land Commissioner Hermann. He is
opposed to any change in the location
of the Office and it is probable that the
commissioner will approve the report
and allow the Office to remain at its
present location. Mr.. Green says that
while Deadwood is nearer the unsur-
veyed and unsettled portions of the
district, although geographically more
centrally location than Rapid City,
the latter city is in a better location
than the former for homesteaders.
Under the requirements of the law this
class of entrymen are required to
make application in person, while
mineral entrymen can send their ap-
plication by mail. He submits to show
that the removal would work to the
disadvantage of the homesteader and
intimated that the change would be al
most entirely in the interest of one
mining corporation, the Homestake
mining company.
