CARRIED IN SKIFFS.
Passengers Taken Off FIood-StalIed
Trains at Mckenzie, N. D.


Trains at Mckenzie, NJ. D.
Bismarck, March 29.-The officials
of the Northern Pacific are attempting
to transfer passengers across two
miles of overfowed track at McKen-
zie by boat. Small skiffs are being
used and the business of making the
transfer was carried on all day. The
water is still rising and a number OF
bridges have been carried away and
tracks are badly twisted and in many
spots the roadbed is carried away
completely.
A millionaire named Noonan, from
the Pacific coast, chartered special
train and was transferred across the
water in skiff and caught the spe-
cial on the east side Oh the overflowed
land. It is said that he had 100000
deal on in Chicago, which required his
presence there.
Hundreds of passengers have been
rowed across the slough and the work
will be continued until they are all
taken care of. The boats return with
passengers for westbound trains.

Bishop Bonacum Wins Contest With

the Tecumseh (Neb.) Church.
Tecumseh, Neb., March 31.-After
fight of four years in the ecclesiastical
and civil courts Bishop Bonacum has
won and the doors of st. Andrews
Catholic church were opened Sunday
to the public for the first time since
the trustees locked them in the face
of the priest sent by the bishop to
conduct services. The trustees were
adherents to Rev. Father Murphy, who
had been removed by the bishop, and
they refused to allow his successor
access either to the church or parish
home. The contest has been long and
bitter resulting in final triumph for
the bishop and mass was celebrated
by a priest of his selection. Rev.
Father Murphy, who was transferred
from Tecumseh to Seward, has since
been communicated by the bishop.

Montana Rancher Under Arrest for

Big Timber, Mon, March 31.-John
Willis is under arrest for a wholesale
poisoning of several families with
arsenic.
He is a rancher near Nye and tied
a bag of arsenic in a spring used by
the Hughes and Dunbar families. The
water had to flow 400 feet before
reaching the houses where it was
used and that prevented fatalities, but
several people were made seriously
i'll.
Willis stove was recently blown up
with dynamite and he declares that
some member of one of the families
placed the explosive in it.

Nashville, Tenn, March 29.-Rain
has steadily fallen through all the Sec
lions of the state since early morn
ing. Reports from all directions tell
of washouts and wrecked bridges, rail-
road traffic south of Nashville being
entirely suspended Property losses
will be extremely heavy, but so far
the loss of only one life, that being
w. F. Dillehay, a rural mail carrier,
has been reported. The Louisville
and Nashville tracks are badly torn
up from Columbia, Tenn, to Athens,
Ala, water being from two to five feet
over the line at several points.
A number of trestles on the Nash
vile, Florence and Sheffield are
washed out and 1000 feet of the
Louisville and Nashville track are
turned over near Buford station, Giles
county. All wires are down south of
Columbia and nothing can be learned
from that section.

Toledo, o., March 31.-Danny Rosen-
becker, 13 years old, was arrested here
for the murder of 7-year-old Arthur
Shanteau. Rosenbecker says that
while he and Shanteau were hunting
crawfish the latter called him name
and attempted to strike him with a
club, whereupon he retaliated by strik-
ing Shanteau with butcher knife I'M
til he was dead. He then dragged the
body among some weeds, where it was
found by party of searchers.
Rosenbecker apparently does not
realize the enormity of the deed.

Occurred.

Vicksburg, Miss, March 28.-Nearly
eight inches of rainfall in the past "a
hours has almost isolated Vicksburg
so far as railway traffic and wire COM
munication are concerned. Not train
on the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley
road has entered or LETT the city since
$50 p. M, when mail and passenger
train left for New Orleans. This train
only succeeded in getting as far as
Port Gibson, % miles south, where it
is still held, the tracks south of that
point for two miles being washed
away. Train No. 6, due here at 1918
a. M, ran into a washout at Milton,
between Harriston and Port Gibson,
the engine, baggage and mail cars go
ing into the ditch. Nobody was seri-
ousIy hurt Passenger and freight
trains north and south of this city are
stalled all along the road, the tracks
being covered with water in score of
places.
In this city the damage will amount
to several thousand dollars. Many
stores and residences in the eastern
section have been flooded to a depth
of several feet. Streets are washed
out and many bridges undermined.
Very little news is to be obtained
from the outlying districts. Telephone
wires are down in every direction. The
loss is undoubtedly heavy and it is
feared there were number of cas-
ualties.
The weather bureau reports that the
rainfall was over six inches.
Washouts on the Illinois Central de
lay all trains on this division of that
road. In the city the havoc wrought
by the unprecedented rain was Wis
ible on all sides. Town creek, which
runs through the center of the town
overfowed it's banks and ran into the
houses in the neighborhood.

have signed for 500.
The articles of Incorporation of the
Mankato and ST. Peter Railway and
Lighting Co. were filed with the
secretary of state and register of deeds
Saturday. The fee for fling was
$175
The directorate of the new company
is very strong one, and is one that
will inspire confidence on the part OF
the public. The list includes some
of the most substantial men in the
CITY, from financial and business
standpoint. With such men in
charge the affairs of the company
are sure to be conducted in liberal,
progressive manner. The board was
equally fortunate in the selection of
its officers.
1t is not expected that st. Peter will
be asked to do more than furnish the
land required for terminal facilities
and take small amount of stock.
Very little will be asked of Kasota also.
The good will of these two places is
sought for this important enterprise,
more than financial aid.
The line to st. Peter is not expected
to run over the public highway, put
through private property. The right
of way will be secured from the farm
ers, through gift or purchase where
possible.
1t is not yet known who are the
capitalists that are expected to finance
the enterprise, but their identity will
probably be revealed next week on the
occasion of their visit to the city.
There is some misconception as to
what will be done with the proceeds
of the stock subscription. A. E. Clark
explains that the money for the stock
will be deposited in trust, to be turned
over to the company when the road is
completed. The road will be built
from the proceeds of the bond sale,
and the money received from the sale
of stock will be used in the business
of the company as a working capital,
to pay operating expenses, ETC., until
the income equals the outgo. When
the receipts of the company exceed the
expenditures, a dividend will be de-
clared on the stock. Stock subscriptions
are not a bonus, as the company is
expected to become paying institu-
tion, sooner or later.
G. w. Babcock of Kasota was in
the city Friday and signed for $500 of
stock in the company. He is enthusi-
astic Tor the road. 1t is expected that
several other Kasota residents will
subscribe. The company expects to
get a big freight business out of
Kasota.
The Mankato Mills Co. has subscrib
ed for $500 stock and Joseph Kiffe for
800. This brings the total up to
$34, 100, and leaves but $40, 900 yet to
be raised. 1t is considered a moral
certainty that this can be secured.
