TWO PRISONERS DIE
In the County Jail With the Past
 AS Hours,

Two prisoners, who have been con- fined in the Jefferson county jail for the past several months have died within the past forty-eight hours.
 Both were of unsound mind and had been sick for the past several days. The county physician, pr. Noel, has been attending them dur ing their illness.
 They were Francis Burley, a ne gress, of about forty years of age, and Pinkey Aiken, a regro of about thirty-fye.
 The former was committed to the Jail last September, while Aiken was incarcerated ln December of the same year. Bo'h were raving man iacs when first placed in jail and were so up to the time of their death.
 It was rumored upon our streets Sunday that the woman froze to death from neglect. All such re- ports are untrue, for when she took sick, stove was placed in her cell and fire was kept burning day and night during the present cold snap as her cell was more exposed than the rest of the jail. The structure Is kept warm and comfortable at all times an the prisoners will voucn fnr, thai

A Sad Death.

A man named Bennett, whose home
is supposed to Le ut Austin, Mimi. fell
from west. bound freight last Friday
night, near SpIingbrook, and received
injuries which later resulted fatally.
The wheels passed over and horribly

brought to this city, DR.. Van Dyke was
called to attend him. The man lived
several hours after the accident, and
told the coroner that he was riding on
the bumpers of car and fell off, and
that he had IL brother living at Austin,
MINI. He was conveyed to the court
house where DR.. Van Dyke amputated
one of the legs, but the man diei about
the time the operation was performed.

inquest, as the deceased made his state
ment as to how the accident happened

Country Under Water.

Bismarck, n. d., April 15.-Advices
from Wushburn, forty miles north of
this city, report the river fifty feet above
low water mark and the highest in its
history. An immense gorge of ice is
piled up and has backed the water all
over the bottoms along the Missouri.
At Roach, Staley's ranch is inundated
and buildings wiped out. Bridges in all
parts of the county are washed away and
trayel suspended everywhere. The
rush of water was so great that immense
cottonwood trees were snapped off like
re eds by ice and water.
Fears arc entertained for the safety
of the crew of the steamer Bloodgood,
which was in winter quarters at Han
cock and has broken its moorings and
disappeared. The crew was camped on
the bank when the rush of water came
and have not been heard from since.
A searching party was out all day yester-
day and failed to get any trace OF them.
The party consisted of half a dozen river
men under comand Of Capt. Charles
B. Lunt.
The gorge is apparently still solid, for
the river at this point is stationary, Rail-
road traffic across the river IS still sus-
pended Two hundred passengers have
been transferred by the Northern Pa
cific in row boats over two miles of wat.
er. One boatman last night dropped
dead while rowing a passenger across.

quired under the homestead, desert or

wish them long and prolific career.
We are sorry to learn that T. R.
Forbes ferry boat at Buford was des
troyed and carried away by the ice in
the recent breakup. The loss Of the
ferry boat strikes Mr.. Forbes quite
heavily besides placing the public to a
great disadvantage. The people Of that
section will now experience great incon-
venience in crossing the Missouri at
that point, at least for awhile. But we
understand that Mr.. Forbes intends re-
placing the old boat with a steam ferry,

ordered.
