Cattle Burned.

Sunday morning the Franklin
CATTLE company met with a small
loss in a shipment Of cattle which it
was sending east. The train was
approaching Chadron, and had
reached within a few miles of that
place when it was discovered that
one of the cars in it was on FIRE, and
although it was at that time only
hitting the high places in the rails,
a little more speed was put on until
a water tank was reached and the
car deluged. 1t was found, however,
that the cattle. had broken from the
burning car, and that about half Of
them had escaped onto the prairie.
There were twenty-one head in the
car when it caught fire, and Of that
number ten had escaped the flames,
but the other eleven persisted. The
fire is supposed to have caught from
a spark from the locomotive igniting
the straw i'll the car. The cattle
which escapedt to the prairie will
probably be rounded up at the time
Of the next roundup, and SO are safe
as though they were on their own
range.-Pionieer-Time .

the B. &. N. was being built through

The MILWAUKEE, COMING
"A Statement That 1t Will Build
From Chamberlain to Rapid
City Without Delay.

Along in 1892 the Milwaukee rail-
road company surveyed and plated
an extension from it's line east of
the Missouri River to the Black
Hills, coming in by way Of Rapid
City. Then came the financial PAN
ic Of 1893, which put a stop to all.
railway building throughout the
country. In 1900 the Milwaukee
again had surveyors in the field for
it's Black Hills extension, and also
in 1901, though the work was done
quietly.
Now the Milwaukee, with the line
surveyed and its plats completed,
states that it is going to build the
line without further delay. Satur-.
days Sioux City Journal contains
tue following interview relative to
the new line:
"Roswell Miller, chairman of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railway company's board of direc-
tors, has made an announcement of
a proposed extension of that system,
which is Of first Importance in South
Dakota.
The announcement was made a
few days ago in New York to a
widely know South Dakota 1nan
who has large property interests
ia that state. Mr.. Miller talked
freely Of the company's plans with
regard to proposed extensions in
South Dakota.
The Milwaukee next year will
extend its Chamberlain line to the
Black Hills, Mr.. Miller said, with
out any request that the informa.
ton be considered confidential. The
western terminus of the line will.
be Rapid City.
Mr.. Miller had a map which show
ed the route Of the proposed exten
sion brought to his desk, and he
traced the course for his visitor
Mr.. Miller pointed out that tn,
Platte line would be continued VI
through Charles Mix and Brult
counties to Chamberlain, and tina
the extension westward from Cham
berlain would follow the valley Q
the White River through Ly
man and Stanley counties and int,
Pennington county.
