CAUGHT 7
IN ACT 7

Just what the authorities will do
with Engineer John Nelson, one Of
the oldest and best engineers on this
section of the Great Northern, or
whether they will let him go scott
free for this offense, is to be discoy-
cred in the future, but this much is
certain, the popular engineer has vio-
lated the game laws in a wholesale
manner by killing several fine ante
lope and Wounding several others Of
a herd which happened to stray too
near him near Burnham last week.
The fact that the animals were on
the track, in the way of one Of Jim
Hills big engines, and that Engineer
Nelson did not have time nor inclina-
ton to stop his steam horse and
"shoo' the pretty creatures from the
with the game wardens when they in
vestigate his case, if they ever do,
The hcld seemed to ignore the
short whistle of warning from the big
iron horse and the great weight Of
steel and iron struck them, hurting
several high in the air and naming
Others Three antelope were killed
outright and Engineer Nelson, who had
helper on in front Of his engine,
never knew Of the catastrophy until
informed Of it By the crew of the
helper ana thus he missed a good
feed of 'sheep.'
Railroad men report that the ami
mails are unusually tame and that it
is nothing to see herds OF twenty or
more close to the tracks Of morn
ing, or watching the train speed on
from some prominence nearby. Be
tween Havre and Great Falls, several
herds have been noticed early in the
mornings and the cold and deep snow
has made them unusually tame, ranch
ers reporting that they have invaded
the ranches and yards in the vicinity
about Harlem.

WILL SURVEY
RAILROAD LANDS

The land division of the Northern
Pacific road has made arrangements
to begin an agricultural survey Of its
lands in the state and the work will
be done by the agricultural depart
ment of the Montana college at BoZe-
man.
The plan, as laid out by the college,
is to have this work done by agricul-
tural students during the summer va
cation. These students will lie fur
nished with maps, field notes, soil
augurs, etc, and make careful notes
as to the existing conditions.
The possibilities opened up since the
development Of farming under arid
coalitions indicate to the railway that
much Of the land heretofore consider
ed as grazing may be profitably util-
ICED for farming purposes.
The work will furnish very valuable
information for the agricultural stu
dents as we'll as substantial aid in
pursuing their courses, as SIS Fer
month and expenses will be the wages
paid.

ing for the scene of the drifts and to
clear the way for the stalled trains
Bad luck seemed to be with it, how
ever, for a break down necessitated
the return TO Hayre for repairs and
wedge plows, which kept hammering
away at the huge drifts, finally broke
through and the tracks have been
cleared.
Several coaches which have been
standing Oil the sidings here, were fin
ally dug out and moved one at time
by means Of two engines, out to the
tracks where they were made up in
the trains going east and west from
Hayre. The tracks are completely
covered with ice and snow, the rails
themselves invisible until the crews
of laborers employed have picked
them Clear ans! the work, condu 2te

Wednesday morning, as train No.
2, east bound, in charge of Conduct
or Callikan of this city was speeding
over the icy path towards the Twin
Cities, the engine struck broken
rail near Savoy, about Sd miles east
of Havre, and the baggage car, two
coaches and engine left the track
plunging down a considerable in
cline and turned over in the ditch.
Fireman John Barnard of this city
was caught under the baggage car
and when finally extricated by train
men, life was extinct
Details of the wreck have been
slow coming in to the local office but
at least six passengers received a
severe shaking up and Z. l.. Geddis,

the run. was painfully, though not
seriously injured. The injured pass
engers were taken on east and their
injuries attended to at Grand Forks,
such as we're in need of attendance.

running between here and Glasgow,
was driving the locomotive and es-
capped without serious injury, as did
other members of the train crew.
The exact manner OF Barnard's
death is matter Of conjecture.
Some reports have it that he jump
ed as the train left the track and
the baggage car turned over him.
Other reports have it that he fell be-
tween the water tank and the engine
and his life was crushed out in that
manner Ie was new man on the
run and had nc relatives here. 1t is
the opinion Of old trainmen that had
he remained on the engine, he
would not have lost his life, but, be-
ing new man in the business, fol-
lowed the first inclination to jump,
thus meeting his death under the
wheels.
The wreck was cleared promptly
and traffic resumed later in the day.
The list Of passengers who were in
jured has not been given out at the
offices here thus far.

Anniversary OF BIG FIRE
Monday. January 18th. Third Year Since
Holocaust Which Destroyed Property
Valued at S33O.OOO in Havre. A
New City from the Ashes of
the Old Has Sprung Up.

ly days of our city's history stood and
which were wiped cut by the fire fiend
stand handsome brick blocks, mon
ument to the grit and business push
of the citizens, who, while dealt a
body blow by the calamity, refused to
be downed by it but arose to the en-
ergency and from the the ashes Of
old Havre, they have built a city sec
ond to none of its size in the state, in
the matter of good buildings.
Since that day, a fine waterworks
system has been installed, an electric
light and power plant improved and
Havre boasts of one of the best ho-
tells in this section of the northwest.
Truly, to recall the day in January
1904, and to gaze about us today
gives one who claims Hayre as his
home, feeling OF pride in the thrift,
energy and courage of the men who
have Llade it what it is in the face
of calamity SO overwhelming in
its nature.

DEATH OF
G. PURNEl

George NJ. Purnell, one of Havre's
most highly respected citizens and
man who numbered his friends in
this section by the scores, passed a
way at the Columbus hospital, Great
Falls, Tuesday evening, January is,
diate cause of death was blood poison
resulting from an operation the de-
ceased recently underwent for the re-
moval OF an abcess on the bowels.
Mr.. Purnell was taken to the hos
pital about week ago and had been
i'll for about three weeks. His last
hours were attended by his business
partner, J. G. Bailey and Jas. Hol-
land, both Of this city and old time
friends OF the deceased. The remains
were brought to Havre on the morn
ing train Wednesday,
George NJ Purnell. familiarly and
affectionately known to his many
friends as Red" has been a resi-
dent of Havre for about Is years, he
coming here from Fort Assinniboine,
where he occupied a position in the
regular army, being connected with
the quartermaster's department. He
| was one OF the charter members of
the local aerie Of the Eagles and a
man always prominently connected
| with the best interests of Havre, pub
lie spirited and liberal in his make
up, a loyal friend and man of ster-
ling worth and integrity. His heart
| was large and all who knew him res
pected him for his generosity and
manhood.
His boyhood home was in far off
Maryland, and his only living rela-
tives, the sisters and brothers now
| living in the east have been nog:-
fled Of his death. At the request Of
his brothers, the remains will be
shipped Saturday, to Snow Hill, Mary
land, his old home and the Eagles of
this city will act as escort to the
train.
George NJ. Purnell was one of the
most prominent democrats in the
county and his influence was always
felt in the political battles. He fought
open and above board and his friends
could rely upon him and his political
opponents be assured of a foeman
worthy Of their steel. His death is
shock to a large circle Of friends in
Havre, and though it was not unex-
pected, the news which came by wire
Tuesday night left many sad hearts
among the old time friends and asso-
ciates of one whose memory will ev-
er be kept green in the affections of
q host Of loving friends.

Loved | one
TOKENS

It was rot so much the value of the
suit case and some of it's other con-
tents, but the fact that the only
photograph of his young wife, whom
he had but recently buried in far Off
New England, was among few cher
ished mementos of her contained in
securely tied bundle in the travelling
bag that brought E. M. Rouleau,
Young business man of Seattle, back
% Havre last Friday and kept him
lere three days in quest of his mis-
sing property.
The young man was returning from
Maine where he had been on the sad
mission mentioned and Friday, as No.
pulled in to Havre, he left the train
to take lunch at the depot lunch
counter, leaving his suit case i'll the
car. Returning to the train, he re-
paired to the smoker and after en-
joying a smoke, went back to his seat
in the day coach only to find that his
suit case had mysteriously disap-
peared He made thorough search
and got off at the next station, Wir-
ing the police department here OF his
loss and IN short order Chief Bickle
had his men on the lookout for the
missing baggage. The owner came on
the next train and for two days kept
up diligent search for the property,
out it seemed to have disappeared COM
pletely and no trace could be found
of it. The young man told the story
of his loss to a Herald representative
and the emotion he endeaVored to
control betrayed the feeling ne enter
tanned for the loved one so recently
taken from him and the loss of the
few keepsakes which he was taking
back to his western home as all that
remained earthly to recall the young
wife who had shared his joys and
SORROWS i'll the far off New England
town in which they had lived haNpi-
ty together.
Notices have been posted, requesting
the party who took the suit case,
either by mistake Or Intentionally, to
return the photographs and otner
1eepsakes therein to the young hus-
)and and if the guilty man Or woman
las a particle of humanity in their
make up, they will do this.
Mr.. Ronieau is engaged in the gro
Gerry buiness at Seattle, and had lett
his wife in Auburn, Maine. until he
could become we'll established in his
new venture Her death came as a
severe shock to him and the culmina-
ton of a journey, at best very sad,
in the loss of the mementoes was keen
ly felt by him.

Every citizen Of Havre will recall
Thursday, January IA, 1904, and the
calamity which struck terror to the
strongest hearts and filled the public
with an overwhelming sense of DESC
1ation, wien Havre was visited by a
conflagration which wiped out several
Of the Oldest and best business blocks
Of the city and caused a property loss
Of $3.50, 900. This week Monday was
the third anniversary of that great
calamity and as we look around us,
we can but congratulate ourselves at
the remarkable recovery of this city
from the blow which threatened to
forever kill our business life and
dwarf our commercial growth.
While the day this year was bitter
cold and the ground covered with
snow, it will be recalled that upon
that eventful day in 1904 the wealth
er was warm and there was little ii
any snow upon the ground. The fire
completely destroyed the Broadwater-
Pepin block, Skylstead furniture store
Montana Supply company establish
1nent, Hotel Havre, Nordins and other
places Of business, and, today, where
the frame buildings put UP in the ear
