BRAkEMAN'S ERROR COST A LIFE
Engineer of the Train Which Struck
and Killed Foster Near Nyack On
ly Slowed Up When He Saw White
LIght--Red Was the Proper Signal

Elmer Foster, the young freight
brakeman who was struck by No. t
while tagging near Nyack, Thursday
night, died at the hospital Friday af-
ternoon, and his remains were ship
ped to the home of his parents at
Curran, ILL.,, last night
An inquest over the body was held
at Willoughby's undertaking rooms
Saturday morning. but nothing was
develop d that would throw any light
on how he came to be struck by the
passenger train. The engineer and
fireman of No. were examined but
could give no information that
would throw any light on the case.
The night was very foggy and while
they saw the lantern they saw no one
near it and did not know that they
had struck any one. On account of
the fog Foster had taken white
light with him instead of red light
and when they saw the light the en-
gineer on No. 4 did not stop, but on
~ slackened speed.
The freight on which Foster was
braking was an extra weWstbOund of
unusual length and was too long for
the switch at Nyack, and had to re-
main on the main line. In order to
pass. eaStbound trains would go in on
the switch and the freight would pull
up making clear track. 1t was
this circumstance that made a flag
man necessary, and Foster was sent
out about 12 o'clock. When No 1
reached Nyack the engineer stated
that he had struck a white light and
Conductor Willcutt went out to in
vestigate and found Foster lying be
side the track unconscious and the
lantern out. He hurried back to pro
tect the head end of his train and re-
ported the case to headquarters at
kalispell. It was about three quar-
ters of an hour before the injured
man could be picked up. and IN t,Ic
meantime he was left lying beside
the track
From the time he was sent ont to
flag. until he was struck was about
two hours, and it is supposed he sat
| down beside the track and becoming
chilled by the cold damp fog, ne fell
asleep. He had been braking on this
! division but short time and was
we'll liked by his associates.

Wallace, Idaho, Sept l2.-TAe
lower tunnel of the famous Hercules
mine at Burke encountered a body Of
high grade steel ealena ore this NOR
ming. As far as op ned today the ore
is of tirst-class shipping grade. and is
of the same richness as the ore in

milling.
Tho tunnel opens the ledge 800
feet 4 cpor than the upper workings,
where the ore body is about 50 feet
in width The mine is producing
ABOUT 1000 tons per month, Some OF
the owners estimate that the present
strike increases the value Of the
mine to at least ten millions Of doll
ars.
Mining men consider the strika of
great benefit to the district. as it
proves the continuous character Of
the ore bodies here, both in richness
and quantity, as depth is attained on
