street last evening, a man named
Davis failed to observe an approach
ing swith engine, and the result was
a collision that ended disastrouslS
to Davis. The wagon in which he
was riding was almost totally demol-
ished and both horses were stripped
Of their harness. One of them was
dragged q considerable distance down
the track, while the other ran north
on Twenty-seventh street and was
caught. Davis and the wagon box
were hurled to one side, but the man
escaped without as much as a scratch
and was found on top Of a quarter OF
beef that constituted part of his load.
1t has been decided to discharge J.
G. Ilg, who was arrested last week

Ilg was also examined. He related all
he had done during the days when his
mind was affected and distinctly re
membered each little detail. He sale
he knew he had acted 'queerly," but
could not help it, being driven thereto
by an irresistible Impulse. His father
said that a brother of llg was in the
asylum. AS the unfortunate NAL
seemed to have fully recovered, his
discharge was ordered. In compan.
with his father he went to Chict
Springs.

habitants. of the earth, but is pledged
to avenge the blood of the slain pro-
phets upon the nation"
At 2 p. m. August Lundstrom of Salt
Lake was swron. He had held high
positions in the church, both in Swe-
den and in Utah. He testified that ne
went through the temples in Salt Lake
and Logan. He had heard the endOw-
ment obligation taken six times. He
said oaths of sacrifice and of retribu-
tion were administered.
The whole proceeding was a series
of obligations, said the witness, but
he could not remember all of them.
The first in order, he said, was the
law of sacrifice, which bound each
person to give his entire means and
talents to the u%pbuilding of the Nor
mon church. The next obligation was
that of retribution, in which each per-
son covenanted and promised to "ask
God to avenge the blood of Joseph
Smith upon this nation" and to teach
'our children and our children's chill
dren to do the same to the end OF the
earth"
The next obngation was that OF
chastity. MI. Lundstrom said he re
NAMED a Mormon until he found
many inconsistencies in the beliefs
taught. 81 found a weak spot in the
wall, and when / touched it a hole was
made that was big enough to crawl
through. The foundation was not
sound,'' he said. The witness had dis
cussed these weaknesses with oficials
of the church.
The hearing was continued until to-
morrow.

New Real Estate Firm Organized 3
Local Men.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Articles of incorporation of the
Suburban Homes company were pre-
pared today for filing with the secre-
tary of state. The incorporators are
P. B. Moss, H. w. Rowley and l. D.
O'Donnell, all of this city. The CAPT
tai stock is $4,000, divided into $50
shares of a par value of 800 each,
all of which has been subscribed and
is held in equal parts by the incorpora-
tors, who are also named as trustees
for the first three months.
Holding and improving real estate
and to plat and subdivide the same
into small farms, lots, blocks and
other subdivisions is the object for
which the company is organized, as
set forth in it's articles. The company
has taken over the remainder Of the
holdings of the old townsite company,
the Minnesota & Montana Land and
Improvement company, and the acre
age of the Billings estate. The bulk
OF the land thus acquired is situate
between the Sisters hospital and the
Northern Pacific tracks, with town
lots scattered over different parts OF
the city. It is purposed to cut up the
larger tracts into parcels of from one
to five acres and dispose of them to
truck farmers, many of whom are ex'
pected in consequence of the estab'
lishment of the proposed sugar fac
tory. The lots will be sold to home
seekers in the city.

A Broncho Buster Gives an Exhibition
Of His Skill.

washington springs, S. D., Dec. IA.
A farmer by the name of Kline, l1v-
ing near here, has a horse 10 years
old that has never been ridden. AL
though repeated attempts have been
made, no one ever succeeded in riding
him until this week. Clarence Coro-
theirs, who works in n of the livery
barns, declared that he could ride the
horse. Kline offered to bet $40 that
he could not stay on him for 10 min
utes. Accordingly 10 men OF the town
each contributed 81 and the money
was placed in the hands of a respon-
sible person.
Excitement ran high, when it be-
came known that Corothers would at
tempt to ride the horse, and in a short
time a crowd had gathered to witness
the exhibition. Kline woulu not allow
| Corothers to use spurs nor a roll
with which to protect himself from
the saddle.
AS Corothers' foot touched the stir
rup the horse reared, standing up
right. 1t seemed as though the rider
must fall backward, but he did not
he gained the saddle and kept it. Their
the horse went eight feet into the all
and then came down doubled up like
a jackknife. The bride broke, but thu
rider kept his seat. Again and AGAR
the animal tried to unseat the rider
but at last, evidently deciding tina
something unusual had happened
started on the run for home.
Corothers being unable to guido
him, the horse ran through fou'
fences, into a hayrack and against
barn, but Corothers kept his seat, ant
when the four miles had been trav
eled dismounted uninjured. He hat
fairly earned the $40, which was glad
~ paid him on his return to town.

monopoly of the biggest locomo-
tives, says Victor Smith in the
New York Press. AS soon as any

Atchison infringement orders
something bigger and stronger
The latest type, the deeapod, is q
favorite of President Ripley for
heavy freighting. Including It,
loaded tender, this locomotive
weighs 100000 pounds, and car
haul on a level track a train O.

have the interests of ST. Joseph s
Home at heart may attend the
meeting tomorrow afternoon at
$50 at the opera house and paru-
cipate in the organization OF the
Brownsville Branch of the Inter
lnatioral Sunshine Society, which
will undertake the work of building
I'D the Home. This charity IS one
that should appeal to all of our
citizens alike, regardless of rellg-
ious, political or social affiliations
1t is absolutely non-sectarlan, and
its benefits are freely given to the
poor of any denomination. The
little hospital" is in need of as
sistance, and the people of Browns
vile should extend it with their
accustomed generosity to deserving
charities.
1t has been very pertinently sug-
gested by one of the leading
citizens of Brownsville that it
would be an excellent idea for the
county commissioners to take some
measures towards Strengthening the
county road, known as the Alice
stage road, by making a cut through
the land known as the Field Hess
tract now belonging to the
Brownsville Land and Town COM
pany. BY going straight through
this land from town, and coming
out on the present stage road some
where near the Dorset place,
formerly the Thorn place, the road
might be shortened about two miles
and probably better road secured
than the present one. As the
Brownsville Land and Town COM
pany is about to open UP roads
through its land, it is probable that
the change might easily be made.
1t is a subject which is worthy of
consideration.
1t is learned from c. A. Slayton,
resident engineer of that section of
the Lott road north of the Arroyo,
who came in Sunday, with f. S, !
Heyser, instrument man, that the |
track laying gang on the day they !
left was on the 102nd. mile, which
means that the Lott road is now
within less than SO miles of
Brownsville. At this point the
work was temporarily held up, on
account of short stretch of grade
that was not completed, but it was
expected that the construction gang
would be back at work within three
days. They will then work on into
Harrington. 1t is not thought now
that the track can be completed to
Brownsville before some time iii
June, owing to the large amount OF
trestle work that must be done in
Crossing the rice fields.
