KILLEDAT COAL DOCK
Northern Pacific Brakeman Hurled
to Death at Gray Cliff.

He was thrown between the cars,
striking with his head upon the rail,
the wheels OF two pair OF trucks pass
ing over it, crushing it to complete
jelly, death being instantaneous. Cor
oner Pound OF this city was notified
and with a jury went to the scene OF
the accident on freight train. Upon
moving the body to car preparatory
to bringing it to Big Timber they
found that the entire upper portion
of the head had been cut off and his
brains were scattered all over the
track, while his hat contained dou-
BILE handful of blood and brains.
An inquest was held this afternoon,
but the verdict has not yet been given
though he handled himself without
any difficulty. 1t is thought perhaps
this defect may have had something
to do with his losing his balance or
being unable to brace himself proper
ly for the shock.
He was about 30 years of age and
had been employed in this vicinity
in different capacities for some time,
but had been working on the coal
dock only few days.
J. o. Higham, a travelling salesman,
recognized in Jacobson former
schoolmate who had attended school
with him in Lanesboro, Mimi, where
Jacobson's people, who are said to be
well-to.do, still reside. He also has
a sister somewhere in the western
part of the state. The former has
been informed OF the accident.

INSTITUTE IN SESSION.
Opening Meeting Proves Highly In
teresting and Entertaining.

The teachers of Yellowstone county
congregated in the assembly hall OF
the north side school building at 8
o'clock, Mrs. Strang presiding. All
OF the teachers of the county, with a
few exceptions, were present.
After the singing of America" the
Reverend Clark made an address OF
welcome to the teachers OF the coun-
ty, in the name OF the city and OF ev-
cry citizen, welcoming them to the
city and to everything in it,
Mrs. R. G. Young of Butte gave a
brief history of the institute, tracing
it's rise in sessions where the teachers
were the school and were instructed
as such in all branches, and in dis
cipline, down to the present day To-
day the institute, she said, had ceased
to be coming together for instruc-
tion, but it was rather for the en-
thusiasm of the teachers meeting TO-
gether.
Professor Hamilton, who needed no
introduction to the teachers of the
county, gave an interesting discus
sion OF grammar, emphasizing what
grammar does not teach, and that it
does treat OF the meaning of the Ian
guage expressed by the form OF
words and their relations in the SEN
tence.
Miss OFT conducted a class in pri-
mary numbers, which was very much
enjoyed by all. Her aim was to show
the development of fractional parts
in the use of The measures.
Mrs. Young gave an excellent talk
on geography in the primary grades.
Her discussion was particularly en-.
joyable, in that she treated of the
study OF the earth as the home of man.
Geography may be the most interest
ing, save literature, of any study

Big Timber, Mont, April 15.-An ac-
cident happened at the Northern Pa
cific coal docks at Grey Cliff this
morning which resulted in the most
frightful death OF Lewis Jacobson,
who was employed in the capacity OF
dock brakeman.
Jacobson was engaged in letting
empty coal cars down the incline track
from the trestle above the bunkers to
the level track below and had already
made two trips down with two cars
each time and set brakes on them be-
fore going up.
The third trip was the one which
proved fatal. Upon reaching the top
of the trestle he released the brakes
on two more empties and started
them down the grade, at the same
time mounting to the front end OF the
first car and grasping the brake to
control the speed of the cars. Whether
the brake did not work properly or
the cars had gained too much speed
is not known, but witnesses who were
present say that he was unable to
control the speed of the cars, and
that they gained momentum with ev.
cry turn OF the wheels.
When they had almost reached the
four first cars standing on level
point, Jacobson was seen to make a
last determined effort to reset or turn
the brakes up tighter. In doing this
he lost his balance and was not fully
prepared for the shock which follow
ed when the cars came together.

A PROSPECTIVE COLONY.
Advance Guard of Norwegians Look
ing Over Eastern Montana.


1t suitable lands can be found a
colony of about 800 families of Nor
wegians intend to settle in Custer or
Dawson county. Yesterday morning
the Honorable John Lind, former gov
ernor of Minnesota and at present one
of the congressman of that state, c..
]. Swanson of Minneapolis and M. l..
Fox of Aberdeen, S. D., arrived at
Miles City for the purpose of making
an investigation. They crossed the
Yellowstone at that place and intend
ed to travel on the north side of the
river, looking over the land as they
progressed. ultimately striking the
railroad again at Glendive.
1t is said that the heads of the fam
lilies of the prospective colonists still
retain their homestead and desert
land rights and if suitable locations
are found will use them and by pur-
chase of the intervening sections of
railroad land secure solid block of
land large enough to accommodate
the colony, as it is the desire of the
intending settlers to locate together.
The investigations of the prospect
ing party will extend no further west
than Miles City, hence it is not like
ly that Yellowstone county will en-
ter into their considerations.

Apple Expectation.

There is scarcely anything
more remarkable in the history
Of American expectation to Eu-
rope than tue American apple
American exporters say there is
no limit to what the trade may
become within five years, consid.
oring what has been accomplish
ed since five years ago, when
American apples wore first sent
III any quantity TO London and
Liverpool. The first year of the
American export apple trade was
about $4,000 barrels, sent mainly
on small steamers and sailing
vessels. Last year upward of
100000 barrels were shipped to
LOndon,an on the fastest steam
ers in the transatlantic fleet.
The exports this year have
been unusually large, quite in
contrast to other fruit, but it is
not expected that the crop, as a
whole, will be so large as las
year. Early apples that do not
keep long have been coming in
abundantly so far, and about 500,-
900 barrels of them have been
shipped across the water. At
all times of che year Englishmen
want our apples. No matter what
Kind, so long as they are apples.
Some attempts have been made
to introduce the American apples
into Germany, but the Kaiser
treats them as he does most i'm
portatlons from this country
Every apple shipped must be alb
solutely without flaw. If an ap-
pie has speck on it, 1t is assum-
ed to be something that will get
contagious in the Kaiser's own
apple land and ruin his crops.
