A. McCorquodale and W. F. Cahoon
we're down from Underwood last
Saturday. The former contends that
the wheat crop will not be as large as
many people think. Both are of the
opinion that in order to fill thoroughly
the wheat crop should be given about
II more days for ripening. Barley,
they say, is excellent, but slow to
ripen, while oats are a high average.
Tuesday morning as Conductor
George H. Beatte and his crew were
making up the train for the west run
Chas. McKeever, a young man little
over thirty years of age, fell between
two flat cars and two wheels of one
set of trucks passed entirely over his
body, resulting in his instant death,
says the Morton Enterprise. At the
time of the fatality the train was be-
ing backed slowly in on the quarry
track for the purpose of switching out
some cars. Conductor Beatte and
McKeever we're standing on the south
side of the track as the train was
backed toward them, Beatte stepped
across to the opposite side and the
rear car passed, when McKeever plac-
ing a hand on each fiat car undertook
to swing himself up but in some man
ner missed his hold and fell forward
and in moment knew no more. The
train was moving slowly, the brakeman
having signalled the engineer to stop
previous to the accident, which of
course, accounts for only one set of
trucks passing over the body.
The circus world is continually look

From the mammoth street parade, ex-
it's long train of Gagged an
imals, its elephants, camels, its line of
horses, up to the hippodrome
performances, the show was a contin-
ual sensation, devoid Of the spectacular
and full of the realistic. Above all
the many superb attractions was Prof.
Lockhart's wonderful herd of superb
trained elephants, recognized the fin
est and best trained herd in the world.
