Steers Killed.

Monroe Sentinel
The four o'clock passenger on the
G. NJ. q st. Paul road going east on
Monday afternoon, ran into n bunch
of fourteen fine yearling STEERS be-
longing to David Tborp, who is u
tenant on the J. G.. Chadwick farm
near Twin Grove, and which he had
bought and was driving home. The
accident occurred at the trestle cross
ing east of this city, and the train was
going at Il maximum speed. Eight
of the steers were killed and two
others crippled. Mr.. Thorp and
daughter, in the buggy he was driv-
ing, narrowly missed the collision.
1t is claimed that at this point the
train could not be seen coming, and
that no signal was given of its APP
proach to the crossing. This is de-
MED, however. The high speed of
the train saved it from wreck. Thorp
says had he been warned he could
have prevented the accident. 1t was
a frightful sight.

land held by said company on lease.
The promise Is that the company
has made big strike. The old Black

company that they have II mile
stretch on the range. Well, we are
glad that push and prospecting is to
be rewarded. by the way, their dig
gings will be very near the trolley
line from Mineral Point to Linden.
Are we to have electric lights?
There is some talk to that effect.
We understand dynamo is to be

as they have abundance power, the
town can be easily lighted.

The BIble and the Empire State
EXPRESS.

A Bible student has recently been tigur-
ing on how long II would wave taken the
people to make the journey from Dan to
Beersheba If they could have had the
benefit in the olden times OF the. Empire
State Express. He figured that the train
would have made this journey in less than
three hours, although from reading OF the
account in the Bible one would think It was a
long journey, and it was for those days with
their limited means of transportation
Ezekiel, the Chaldean prophet, had in his
minds eye something ike the Empire State
Express when he uttered the words recorded
in the first chapter of his prophecy. Look
this up and see if you do not agree with
the idea-From the Troy Daily Times.
