the Pinnicl<innick coal mine No. l, may
count himself fortunate. II was, indeed,
miraculous escape, and usual under
such circumstances death Of the most
horrible nature occurs, but this man
gathers himself together after he had
been dug ont Tram under the pile of coal
that buried him and will be well within
. week and ready to resume work.
Meteka was in his room ut o'clock
Saturday morning at work mining coal
He placed and fired two dynamite Blasts
to knock the coal down, which he had
undermined. After lighting the fuse he
stepped outside the room aud waited.
One was discharged. but the other did
not explode at the time, and he returned
70 the room. Soon after re-entering Che
other blast exploded and threw two
tons of coal out. II fell against him
and buried him
A room partner and miner named
Council, working in an adjoining room
heard the blast and the fearful fall of
coal, as well as the follows cries for
help, and they rushed in and With might
and main dug him out as quickly as pos
1ible. He was somewhat exhausted when
they got him out, but he soon revived
and was able to walk out of the mine TO
his boarding house, where he is resting
well, in fact, where he is about as well

An examination disclosed the remark

wounds, and both of there were flesh

stature ofthe accident think it is the
most miraculous escape that has hap

Still in Iail

About three years ago Kotilinic, a
Russian LIVING in Buffalo county, was
sentenced to the penitentiary for life
for the murder Of his wife. The de-
fense was that his wife attempted to
shoot him during quarrel and that
in the struggle which followed the
pistol was accidentally discharged
while pointed toward her person.
Through his attorney, Joe Kirby,
Kotilinic made application to the
supreme court for hearing under the
same proceedings which was denied
on the grounds that the case should
in the first instance be brought in the
circuit court. Accordingly writ of
habeas corpus was served on Warden
Swenson last week and the prisoner
was brought before Judge Jones at
Sioux Falls where arguments were
made for his discharge on the ground
that the records in the trial did not
show that Kotilinic was in the court
room at all times during the trial.
Attorney General Philo Hall, of Brook
ings, was present and represented the
state. The application for the dis
charge Of the prisoner was refused by
the court.

SERIOUS TRAIN WRECK
Freights Smash Two Engines at
Brookings

At 1915 Thursday morning wreck
occurred at the east entrance of the
Brookings yards on the North Western
R'y which demolished two engines
and one freight car, but fortunately
no lives were lost.
The Redfield way freight which
was due here at 7.2o p. m. was late
and did not arrive until 12:l0 a. IN.
The side tracks were full on the west
end of the yard and the train was cut
in two, and the engine started up the
main line to switch a portion Of the
cars. Before this could be done a
double header from the east came
down the grade and crashed into the
the branch engine, but the latter sue
ceeded in backing away, suffering only
the loss of its pilot. In the collision
the pilot on the front engine Of the
double header was broken and drop
ping down came in contact with tie.
This set the front trucks under the
engine off the track and as the switch
was passed the entire engine ran
off the track off to the south side.
The momentum Of the second en-
CINE and heavy train following it
was so great that the front engine
was driven over the grade, changing
ends and rolling over on its side. The
second engine also left the track and
toppled over toward the north side.
A freight car loaded with cement
was piled up along with the engines.
Owing to the fact that the double
header was going very slow the engi-
neers and firemen had plenty OF time
to save themselves by jumping. John
Ebbert was the head engineer on the
double header and James McNickle
was on the local freight engine.
While the REGISTER might make a
a guess who was primarily responsi.
BILE for the disaster, we prefer to let
railroad company form their own
conclusions, inasmuch as no lives
were lost.
1t would be difficult to imagine
more complete destruction than was
wrought upon The front engine of the
double header, stripped as it was of
cab and tender and half buried in the
dirt.
A large wrecking crew came down
from Huron and the section men
froJa .all points east and west were
here all day Thursday and until Fri
day evening clearing away the wreck
age.
Fortunately the main track was not
damaged to any great extent and at
$3.50 Thursday morning the road was
open to traffic.

Ill Fated Farmer

c. A. Mallory, prominent Moody
county farmer, has reason to believe
he is one OF the most unlucky persons
in South Dakota. Some months age
he lost an arm as the result Of the ac-
cidental discharge Of shotgun. Re.
Gently hail and wind storm destroyed
nearly his entire crop, which would
have been the largest raised by him
for many years. Now, to add to his
misfortunes, his house was struck by
lightning and badly damaged. He
had just closed one of the windows
and moved the baby and cradle a
short distance from 1t when the bolt
tore through the side Of the building
near the roof. Members of the fam
lily were given terrible shock, and
although it was a decidedly close call
they escaped serious personal injury.

Besides these that have been men
| toned there are sixteen or more who
have graduated and are now engaged
in farming and are making a success
Of their business. Taking into con-
sideration the fact that the school was
only established in 1888 and that it
did not get under headway for two
years afterward the showing is a
splendid one, bearing out the state
ment that TO secure good, solid edu-
catonal foundation there is no need
OF going outside of the state to get it.
