Severl Persons Injured in an
Accident at Fairburrl.

Saturday afternoon a south
bound stock train on the North
western was struck by q cy-s
clone at Fairbuln and one car
was blown from the track.
Five persons who were in this
car were seriously injured. The
cars were loaded with horses
and cattle, but none were in
jured, only the way car being
blown from the track. John
Keliher and Jess Borland owned
the horses, and Mr.. Borland
being only slightly injured went
on with the stock, but Mr.. KEEL
iher was brought back i by train
to Rapid City. Withshim also
came L. E. Mitchell and MI.

T. Cassell Of Omaha and Prot. B
Deranleau Of this city all Of
whom were more or less seri-
ously hurt.
Mr.. Keliher and Prof. De-
ranlau were taken to their
homes, the others being taken
to the Harvey. Drs. Flick and
Gihin, surgeons for the North
western and the Crouch Lines,
were called and worked with the
injured mon until nearly morn
ing. All of them are now we'll
on the road to recovery and the
Omaha men have left for their
homes.
Those who were on the train
say that it was an extremely
strenuous moment when the
cyclone struck. One eyewitness

SCALE co. COMING.
Boynton Factory will Prob
ably Move to This Place.

Mr.. Cory, of the Crouch Lines
informed the Union yesterday
that the coming of the Boynton
Scale Company was now almost
certain.
The one difficulty has been
the sale Of stock. The COM
pany asked no bonus but did
wish to sell a certain number Of
shares Of stock in this place.
This stock is preferred stock
bearing eightper cent dividend.
AS the concern is a producing
and dividend paying corpora
ton itsshares should be worth
at least par. Mr. Cory says he
feels certain now that enough
shares will be sold to assure
the factory's removal.
The Boynton company have
done large amount of business
in this section and west Of here.
Coming to Rapid will not only
give them reduced freight rates
on the finished product but
they can get iron and steel
cheaper from Pueblo than they
are now getting it from Blrm-
ingham, Ala.
J. H. Osborne, Of the Crouch
Lines has recently visited the
plant and assures us that it
is all and more than has been
represented. The coming Of
this concern will mean a great
deal to Rapid City and ought
to be heartily encouraged.

|goingto see. The track train
has the locomotive in the center
with two cars Of steel in front
and four cars Of ties behind,
Ahead Of everything is AGAR on
which is mounted a stationery
engine. This supplies power
to two conveyors that run along
the sides Of the cars. These
conveyers are like long troughs
by the sides of the ears, the bot
tom Of the troughs being "live
rollers" that are kept turning
by the engine on the car ahead.
A man goes ahead Of the train
and stretches a. steel chain,
measuring from the stakes in
place so that the chain comes at
the ends Of the ties. The ties
pour out Of the conveyor in a
steady stream and are caught
and placed by men who work
in pairs, two to a tie. AS soon
as enough ties are down rail is
shot out Of the trough on the
other side and dropped in place
by a gang Of men who work
with the precision Of soldiers.
Therails are not spiked but kept
from spreading by tie rods that
are bolted in as are the fish
plates. 1t takes but a moment
or two to make the connection
and there the locomotive gets a
signal to move ahead over the
new track and the process is re-
peated. Track laying in this
manner is very rapid, as many
as four miles a day having been
put down, although they are
not now working at this figure.
A number Of persons with
teams and pedestrians we're out
at the big cut Wednesday and
watched the process for hours,
fascinated by the swift working
of men and machinery.

woman in the case is a Mrs.
Schonssee, who is being sued
by her husband for divorce, the
defendant in this action being
named as correspondent. All
the evidence introduced was
slight as showing the defend
ent's guilt, in fact so slight that
the judge said he doubted the
man could be convicted in the
upper court. At the same time
he bound him over to call atten-
ton to the gravity Of the offense
and for the good of society. He
was released on $1OO bonds.

AT HOT SPRINGS
Our Boys Defeated but put

Our athletes were worsted in

AFTER cOUNTY's MONEY.
Amateur Safe Crackers Try
TreaSurer's Vault.

Some bunglng amatueuI
cracksmen attempted to break
into the county treasurer's vault
early yesterday morning. They
pried open the outside door with
a pick OF crowbar and climbed
over the transom into the
tleasurer's office. Here they
made two attempts to break in
to the vault. They attacked the
combination with some tool and
bent it, but not so badly but
that it could be opened in the
morning, then they cut through
the brick wall close by the knob,
but as soon as the steel was
reached they stopped without
even attempting to cut through
it.
For the benefit Of those who
may desire to attempt a similar
feat it may be stated here that
the vault is not q hre proof
vault and never contains any
money except a little silver for
change. It would not pay an
industrious burglar the wages Of
a hod-carrier if he succeeded in
getting it,
The burglars left as mementos
a crow bar, pick axe and a rail-
road lantern, all Of which were
probably stolen. Geo. Flavin
was in the office until 11:3O and
Mr.. Matthias was in his office
until the same hour so the burg
lars must have entered after
midnight.

BUFFALO BILL.
Nearing the Precipice Of Financial
Trouble He VIII Retire.

Omoho, Neb., Feb 23.-Pressed
down by hard work, business perplex-
tiles, sickness and death in his fam
lily and domestic troubles and unhap-
piness, Buffalo Bill, the famous old
plainsman and Snowman, is threatened
with complete breakdown. He now
fully realizes that If he would live and
enjoy fair degree of health, physical
and mental, he must make radical
change in his way Of living.
Accordingly he has made up his
mind to quit the show business at the
end of the current year, return to his
own country from Europe, settle down
in Wyoming and take the world easier
than he has been wont to take it.
The death of his eldest and favorite
daughter two or three years ago near.
ly broke Colonel Cody's heart. That
was really the beginning Of his troubles,
physical and mental.
Some of his earnest friends have
gone back on him because of his effort
to get divorce. Practically all the
men whose respect and friendship he
values have condemned him sharply
for applying for separation, and have
expressed sympathy with Mrs, Cody,
woman but faithful wife.
In addition to this Colonel Cody has
met with many unpleasant expert
ences with the Wild West show
aboard. A man who has been in the
show business with Colonel Cody ever
since he engaged in it. and who knows
all Its secrets, said just before the
colonel sailed for France to rejoin the
show few days ago:
Colonel Cody has enough on his
mind to drive a dozen ordinary men
to insanity. To be frank with you. the
Wild West show has had hard shedding
since it went to Europe. Things have
been going badly most of the time.
In southern France we met with some
very discouraging and distressing ex-
periences. In Paris we did good
business, and were well treated.
"But the day we set out on our tour
of southern France, troubles began
Our crowds were small and ugly. Sen
timent was against us. To add to
our difficulties and troubles, a crowd
of toughs followed us from town to
town and tried to break up the per.
formances. Almost every night we
had pitched battles with them. Ere.
quently shots were exchanged, and in
many instances men were wounded
You can easily imagine that we clear
ed them out.
The last year has been very un.
happy one to Colonel Cody. It is time
for him to settle down and take the
world easier. He is going to do so.'
