Yesterday was another fatal day
along the new grade of the Union Pa
cific. Explosions occurred in two
places. The most disastrous of the
two was that in the Aspen tunnel,
where one of the largest undertakings
is under way. 1t is between Granger
and Evanston. The other explosion
was in the rock cut which was begun
as one of the later improvements on
the Sixth district.
This cut Is being made to %straighten
the line between Wolcott and Fort
Steele and to lead up to the new bridge
that is to be built over the Platte riv-
er. The details of the accident are
not yet known, except that one labor
er. The accident was a premature ex-
plosion of dynamite. The man killed
was a laborer whose name is not yet
known here. Dan Kyner was fatally
injured and J. K. Kyner seriously in
jured. The two injured men are broth
ers and are the contractors on that
piece of work, under the name of KY
ner & Co. They are very well known
among the contractors and railroad Of
ficials along the Union Pacific grade.
The accident was reported to Engin-
eer Dunlap this morning.
In the Tunnel.
The accident in Aspen tunnel cost
the lives of five men and injuries to
several others. 1t was an explosion

WORK BEGUN ON THE NEW
TURkTABlE tt 6 MORN

A gang OF men was set to work this
morning tearing out the concrete foun-
Gation of the old turntable in the Union
Pacific yards. This is preliminary to
putting in the new turn table. The
crushed stone for the new foundation
was u%nloaded there several days ago,
and everything is o ready to hurry
this important work along.
The purchase of new engines of a
larger and heavier class than ever be
fore used on the road made this i'm
r,ovem.at necessary. The big com
pounds cannot be turned on the old
table. A new n six feet longer than
the old. was built recently by the
American Bridge Co, of Chicago and
arrived here several weeks ago. 1t is
a mammoth structure of steel.

For wiley dear

She's at her woman's clubs.

THE BUILDING OF THE NEST.

They'll come again to the apple tree,
Robin and all the rest.
When the orchard branches are fair
to see
In the snow of the blossoms drest;
And the prettiest thing in the world
will be
The building of the nest.
Weaving it we'll so round andLtrim,
following it with care;
Nothing too far away for him,
Nothing for her too fair
Hanging it safe on the topmost limb
Their castle in the air.
All mother Bird you'll have weary
days
When the eggs are under your breast
And shadow may darken the dancing
rays
When the fedglings leave the nest.
But they'll find their wings in a glad
amaze,
And God will see to the rest.
SO come to the trees with all your
train
When the apple blossoms blow,
Through the April simmer of sun and
rain
Go flying to and fro;
And sing to our hearts as we watch
again
Your fairy building grow.

The acreage of tomatoes and early

wintered we'll and the bloom is most
profuse.
The temperature during the month
has been nearly normal, although the
nights have been little too cool for
the rapid growth of early vegetables.
The rainfall is largely deficient in all
sections, probably averaging one and
half inches. The copious and warm
showers between the 10th and Goth
