WRECK ON BURLINGTON.
Two Freight Trains Come Together at
Aberdeen Siding.

Z Sixteen freight cars and locomo-
tive reduced to heaps of kindling wood |
and scrap iron marked the scene OF
wreck on the Burlington at Aber-
deem, siding a short distance this
side of where the road enters Mon
tana, Saturday morning. Two trains,
both freights, collided at the east end
of the switch. They were Nos. 45
and AZ, westbound, the first the
through fast train and the other the
local.
No. AZ was five or six hours behind
it's schedule and was making des-
perate attempt to gain the siding in
order to let the southbound passen-
ger train-which it had orders to
meet at that point-pass. A stop had
to be made to enable the switch to- be
opened. No. 45 was almost imme-
diately behind and having the same
losing any time The delay caused in
opening the switch brought the rear
train SO closely onto the first that they
were almost on top of one another
| when the engineer of No. As saw No.
AZ. He made a brave effort to stop
his train and applied the emergency
brake, "dynamiting her." in railroad
parlance, but the air refused to work
and in an instant his locomotive was
ploughing it's way through the other
train. Before it finally stopped the
number of cars stated, the caboose OF
No AZ and the locomotive of No. 45
were completely wrecked. -
Strange as it may appear, nobody
was killed. The conductor and brake
man of the forward train jumped when
they saw the impending collision and
only the engineer and fireman of the
rear train were caught in the wreck
The engineer, named Speakington
sustained a couple of fractured ribs
and several bruises about the body
The fireman, whose name could not be
learned, had one foot scalded by es
Gaping steam.
The wreck stopped traffic at the
point of it's occurrence until Sunday
morning, almost "a hours, before tht
. road could be cleared and the scat
tered freight that had escaped uttel
demolition gathered and reloaded into
other cars.

mands a separation from Willis =.
Mott. to whom she was married at
Miles City, October ~, 1898. They
left there and removed to Minneapo-
lis. where they made their home. Elk
treme cruelty and failure to support
are the grounds on which DIVORCE
is demanded. Mrs. Mott charges that
on numerous dates the defendant
abused and ristreated her and threat
ened her with great bodily injury. AS
specific instances she recites that at
Minneapolis, Nov. 5, 1902, her husband
slapped her face, head and body and
threatened to "knock her head off, :,
all the time calling her vile and abusr
i've names. November Is of the same
year. he is charged with having struck
her with an iron stove poker and MAX
ing threats against her life. In addi-
tion he is also said to have beat her
about the head and face with his fists
and to have cursed her and applied
oprobous and obscene epithets to her.
Fearing that the defendant would
execute his threats, the plaintiff says
she left the defendant December "a
1902, and since then has not lived with
| him, making her home with her pa
| rents.
j In addition to the charges of cruelty
| made in the complaint it is also alleg
ed that defendant has refused to con
i tribute to plaintiffs support, having
/ given her only $48 in all the time
| that has elapsed since she left him

months over years old, was born t.

Bulon Zachary of Arvada, Wyo.,
writes to the clerk of the district court
for advice as to the proper course
to pursue for relief from marital
tangle in which he says he finds him
self. and from which he is anxious
to be freed.
August 4, 1902, Zachary, who then
resided at Bridger, in this state, OBJ
tained a license to marry Eva Smith,
also then a resident of Bridger. For
some reason they preferred to have
the ceremony take place in this city
and after the necessary permit had
been obtained they were married the
same day. The bride gave her age as
81 years and upon the information
furnished by her Zachary made the
necessary affidavit, in which he al
legged that the woman had never be-
fore been married or divorced. Now
he writes that she deceived him, for
about seven months after their mar
riage he says he learned that she had
not only been married, but had never
gone through the formality OF secur'

GRANVILLE PROVES GOOD WIT
NESS FOR HIMSELF.
STICKS WELL TO HIS TALE
Underaoes Severe Cross-Examination
Without Materially Varying Tes-
timony Given on Direct.

Helena, Mont, Dec. 28.-Isaac Gra-
yelle took lesson in writing today
in the district court, and he also had
one in spelling. Mr. Wallace was the
schcolmaster. Several times Pupil
Gravelle said he could not spell
word, but Schoolmaster Wallace was
hard-hearted, and would not assist
him. and the work of the pupil went to
the jury without revision or correc-
ton by his instructor.
It was in the afternoon that the
writing and spelling occurred. Gra-
yelle occupied a chair at the table
near Stenographer Hamburger, while
Mr.. Wallace was in the witness chair.
Grayelle was first called upon to write
words that occur in the threatening
letters. Then he was asked to write
phrases from them. He did the work
on legal cap paper, which was handed
him, piece by piece, by Mr.. Wallace.
He wrote slowly and carefully, and
when he was asked to write a large
word, such as responsibility" he hes
itated as to the spelling, and once he
asked Mr.. Wallace to spell word for
| him. But the lawyer was obdurate
and told him to do the best he could !
| Gravelle held his pen easily between
the second and third fingers, bore
the weight of his hand on his little
finger and wrote with the wrist mo-
ton. Once when he was stuck" on
word he looked at Judge Smith, and,
with a smile, said he had not had
much schooling, and at another time
he confided the same fact to the jury.
Mr.. Wallace finished the cross-exam,
ination of the defendant shortly after
8 o'clock, the witness having been on
: the stand all day Saturday and more
than half day today. During his
cross examination he stuck closely tC

direct examination he said man nam

Gated him at Glasgow. On all othe1
material points he was not shaken.
The witnesses that testified for the
defense did not help mis- case material

Of Anaconda, substantiated his stor!
on a material point, and that was il

Danger In "Home Remedies"

1.-THE trouble with poor persons who
try to doctor themselves before coming
here" said a physician in a public dis
pensary, SIS that they do not know the
FIRST thing about the simple remedies
as they call them. that they use. Of
tentimes they do themselves serious in
jury through sheer ignorance. l had a
man in here the other day who had
taken half an ounce Of cholera mix
ture. Somebody had told him TO take
half a teaspoonful. 1t is the same way
with %paregoric, sweet inter, ammonia
and other well known household rene
dies. Persons who trust to their men,
DRY are likely to get mixed and either
take an overdose or use the wrong
medicine. A woman came in here suf-
fering from the effects Of a drug that
she should have obtained except
on a physicians prescription. 1t was
the big overdose and her prompt appli-
cation for relief that saved her. When
| scolded her she showed me a clipping
from one of the magazines advising its
use. The dose prescribed was enough
to kill a orse."-New York Times.

A FREAK OF U



After passing another town OF
three or four mud huts we enter the
famous desert of Islay. on which are
what l consider the most remarkable
natural c%uriosities to be seen on this
globe, for we are now among hundreds
nay, thousands-of pure white sand
crescents on a plateau of $500 feet
four miles from the coast, where all
else is of a dark red or chocolate color.
Whence comes this sand and why al
ways in a crescent shape? Professor
Bailey told me that scientific men do
not agree as to the reason why the
sand always forms the same crescent
shape, although it is generally believed
that the whirling eddies h%ereabout are
responsible. Some, however, argue that
such is not the case since each of these
crescents has an opening toward the
northeast. At any rate, the inner circle
is an almost perpendicular wall of the
finest pure white sand, and from the
upper edges the crescents slope gradu-
ally away on the outside. They aver
~ about twenty feet In height, the
inner circle having a diameter of some
fifty feet, although l have seer one at
least a mile and a half in diameter,
which was, however, not much higher
than the average. These crescents
move, It is estimated, at the rate of
three inches every twenty-four hours,
and when on the slow journey one
necessary to shovel the sand across
the tracks, after which it travels on,
forming new crescents or mingling
with some of the others.-Ernest c.
