By a Blast of Two Hundred Kegs of
Powder.
Who Was Division Engineer and Had
Charge of the Construction Work
on the New Cutoff, Was Standing
Almost Over the Powder-Thrown
In the Air-Body Not Disfigured.

John II. Graft, division engineer in
charge of the construction work on
the new cutoff, from Columbia Falls
to Dickey lake summit, was instantly
killed yesterday about noon by a
blast composed of 200 kegs of )ow-
der. The accident occurred at Chin
dall's camp, near the upper end OF
Whit9fish lake, where great deal of
blasting has been uone to remove the
immense mass of rock from the line
of track. Yesterday an especially
large amount of blasting was to be
done, and Mr.. Graft was present to
inspect the result, as there had been
SOM complaint made about the man
neI in which the work was done. Two
blasts were prepared, one containing
1870 kegs of powder and one contain
ing $50. Both were fired simultane-
ously. and only one went off, but Mr..
Graft thought both had been fred.
The report was so terrific that he
disregarded Mr.. Chindalls statement
that but one shot had went off, and
went forward to inspect thu result.
He was standing almost over the hole
containing the $50 kegs Of powder,
when it exploded, throwing him high
in the air amidst tons of rock, and
dirt. Strange to say he was not
torn to pieces, but was killed in
stantly.
His body was removed to the camp
and Coroner Willoughby notified
who left at once for the scene and
brought the body to Kalispell. Graft
was unmarried, and was resident of
S attic, where his parents now live.

People DO Not Know What Road IL
Doing 1t.
vinita, Feb. Two maps have been
filed with the United States Indian
agent for Indian Territory showing
the line of two new railroads in the
territory.
The first map filed shows the pro-
posed route of the Muskogee Southern
from Muskogee northwest. 1t has
been the idea of the people generally
that the new line went dire from
Muskogee to Tulsa, but the map indi-
Gates that it will be built to Red Fork
instead of Tusla. Tho new road fol-
lows the Arkansas river on the south
side nearly the entire distance from
MuslSogee to Red Fork, touching Stone
Bluff and Weealeetl1a.
Some believe the new road is Santa
Fe line and others think it is Frisco
line, while others say the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railway is not asleep
on the subject. At any rate, it is an
important Indian Territory line and
will strike the oil fields of the Indian
Territory at Red Fork.
The other map filed shows the pro-
posed line of the Rock Island from
Haileyviile to the northwest. This
map covers only distance of twenty
five miles of the new Rock Island.
