Grand Rapids.-With his foot firmly
caught in a frog, in the Swan river
yards, Joseph Devine, brakeman, saw
an engine bearing down upon him, yes
terday.
I'm a goner, boys" he shouted to
his companions, as he made last des-
perate effort to wrench his foot loose.
The engine was shunting a string of
cars backward and the engineer did
not see the man on the track. His last
violent struggle, however, tore the laces
from his shoe and he was enabled to
slip his foot out just as the first of the
cars struck the place where he had
been held as in a wise. Beyond a
sprained ankle he suffered no injury
Railroad men say it was one of the
narrowest escapes ever seen here.

Gently the Tri-State Grain Dealers

board. in which Il was charged among
other things that the railroad compa-
MES were purposely Withholding cars
from the elevator men OF South Da-
kota.
At st. Paul they called upon the OH
cials OF the Omaha Railroad company.
But few complaints had been made
from points on this road. and these, IL
was explained by the officials, were due
90 the fact that cars loaded at points
on the Omaha road for points on other
roads were retained by the other roads,
which. owing to the heavy demand for
cars. were willing to pay the per diem
charge for their use and kept the cars
as long as possible. These cars ara
now being returned TO the Omaha road
and no further trouble Is expected on
that road In the matter OF furnishing
cars promptly to intending shippers. .
The officials OF the Chicago. Milwau-
kee and 81. Paul railroad at Minneap-
oils summarized the reasons for the
car shortage on their road about as
follows!

HEROIC SACRIFICE.
Young Woman Offers TO Aid In Re-
storing wonnsn's Cutiele.


Sioux Falls. =. H.. Feb. s.-Miss
MARY Berg. daughter OF G. J. BERG. a
prominent resident ~ volga. by the
exhibition of n genuine spirit OF self
sacrifice has demonstrated that all the
heroincs are not TO be found nursing
soldiers on the battleficlds or In the
army hospitals.
Last September Airs. Hildus Eye
berg. residing near voiga. was serious
~ burned as the result OF nm explosion
caused by attempting To start IRE
In a cook stove with kerosene oil. since
that time the unfortunate woman has
been a patient In "A hospital at Volga.
Several OF the burns upon her body
were so large and deep that they re-
fused To yield To medical treatment.
New skin refused To grow over these
burned places and the only thing that
remained To be done was To find some-
one who would volunteer To have some
cuiicle taken from their body so II
could be grated on the affected por-
tions OF the body OF AIRS. Egeberg.
which refused To- heal.
When informed OF this determination
ON the part of the physicians, Miss
Berg volunteered To submit To an OPP
Grafton 30 sufficient cuticle could be re-
moved from her body for the purpose
stated. and two physicians performed
the operation. The cuticlc thus Sc
burned portions OF the body OF Mrs.
Egeberg. and the wounds are now cx-
pected To heal quite rapidly.
An interesting feature OF the matter
In that Mrs. Egeberg and Miss Berg
are strangers. the young lady being
prompted I'm her action solely by q
spirit OF self sacrifice.

BABE LEFT At DOOR.
Sioux Falls Couple Recipients OF Tin
One by Unknown Donor.

Sioux Falls, s. D.. Feb. MIR. and
Mrs. w. III. Russell. who conduct what
n known as the Russell Candy Kitchen
I'm this city, were the recipients OF "A
little baby girl. which they found az
the back door or their place OF BUSH
ness. notwithstanding that the tenn
perature was below zero when the I'm.
FAINT was found. Il apparently had not
been affected by the exposure and Is
doing well.
The child was found at the doorway
ut about s:45 o'clock I'm the evening.
Mr.. Russell was sitting I'm the rear
part OF his store when he heard a
bump against the back door. Thinking
the noise was made by children In the
neighborhood he paid no attention. A
short time later a customer remarked
that he heard n child crying. Upon In
yestigation the little founding was die
covered on the doorstep at the back
door. .
The identity OF the parents OF tho
baby ~ n mystery. The infant wheri
found was only an hour or two old
and was wrapped In an old garment
and n piece OF wooden blanket. Inside
the blanket was found "A penciled note.
written I'm n good hand, and reading
Dear Madame: i am n poor unfor-
tunate woman ] heard you are good
woman. Please take the baby for your
own child. Please call her Victoria
Pearl. Take good care OF her. and
God bless you. You viii never hear of
me again. BE kind 10 her"
Mr.. Russell and his wife have decided
20 adopt the infant An interesting
feature OF the incident IN that both are
greatly pleased with the baby and pro.
pose 20 give Il the same attention they
would n child OF their own.
