Another Railroad Sure.

On Tuesday week ago the
train from Martinsdale set out a
working car at the Y, three miles
southwest of Dorsey and put off a
crew of surveyors under J. A. Frich-
ard, who on Wednesday began a
survey for this place, arriving here
Saturday night. After some pre-
liminary work about the town look
ing for the most feasible route by
which to pass it they continued to
Copperopolis. There are few OBJ
stacles encountered on the entire
route and much of the way was over
the most beautiful stretch of coun-
try over which railroad was ever
projected. Whether the road will
be constructed we are not able to
sa, but we are assured that if the
proper effort is made on the part of
our people that trains will be run
ming into town by December 1st.
The Montana railroad company have
taken this opportunity to run pre-
liminary line before the weather is
fit for cross-sectioning on the main
line down the Musselshell. This
will give the company definite
basis to figure from in regard to the
construction of line via this place
to the coming copper camp of the
northwest.-Husbandman

luFkey ana Eagle DISCUSS the Ma.

day by a baldheaded eagle why he
cared to let himself be fooled by being
fatted up for a Thanksgiving dinner to
make dish for all the greedy mouths
that could afford to get slice of him.

"Ah," said the turkey benignly as he
cast plying look upon his proud and
scornful critic, you are not civilized

are talking about. You are as wild
and untutored as the savage Indian

at my feet than can swallow.

I've got snap, and know 1t. A short

1.-THE mixed train down on the narrow
gauge met with smash at the West Dunn
merston quarries Monday that is described
as the biggest one the road ever had, out
of many bad ones. 1t ran into an open
switch, and the engine. No. 2, formerly the
'Brattleboro D." went down a bank six or
eight feet high landing on the side nearly a
total wreck, the cab smashed into kindling
The two cars next to it freigbted with lum-
Der also went down with it and are piled in
wreck. Engineer Gates had just time to
reverse the lever and he and fireman
George Clough we're thrown clear through
the cab and several feet farther over into
the highway. 1t is a miracle how they es-
caped with their lives, and they we're not
injured at all, practically, as was the case
with Conductor Rouse.
The responsibility for the accident is not
placed yet, but the most plausible theory is
that the switch had been tempered with.
1t had not been used since Friday, and it
was found alter the accident to have been
unlocked and partly thrown over.
