BRAKEMAN RYAN A HERO.


/ The accident was not without its
heroes, and one of these was Frank RYAN.
a brakeman on the express. Ryan was
caught in the wreck and had an artery
severed. He was unconscious for nearly
10 minutes, and when he regained his
senses, his first thought was of the Mont
real express, which he knew was thun-
dering down on the wreck with no
brakeman in the rear to wave warning
signal.
FOUND HIS MOTHERS BODY.
Among the West Canaan farmers who
aided was Benjamin Briggs, who was
one of the first at the scene, and two
hours later he drew out of the wreck the
body of woman. On turning over the
body Mr.. Briggs looked into the face of
his mother, and almost collapsed from
grief. Mrs. Briggs had been visiting
friends in the north and was on her way
to Boston.

A TERRIBLE WRECK.
Quebec Express Collides with Fast
Freight. Appalling Loss Of Life.

White River Junction, Sept. l5.-A
fearfully fatal head-on collision between
the south-bound Quebec express and a
north bound freight train on the Con-
cord division of the Boston and Maine
railroad, occurred four miles north of
Canaan station early to-day, due to a
mistake in the train dispatcher's orders,
and from demolished passenger coach
there were taken 25 dead and dying and
26 other passengers, more or less injured
Nearly all those who were in the fatal
car We're returning from fair at Sher-
brooke, Quebec, 100 miles north.
The conductor of the freight train was
given to understand that he had plenty
of time to reach a siding by the night
operator at Canaan station, receiving,
according to the superintendent of the
division, copy of telegraph order from
the train dispatcher at Concord, which
confused the train numbers 80 and 81.
The wreck occurred just after the ex-
press had rounded into a straight stretch
of track, but owing to the early morning
mist, neither engineer saw the others
headlight until it was too late.
The south-bound train originated at
Sherbroooke last evening, where it pick
ed up two sleepers from Quebec and two
more on the way down. 1t consisted of
the baggage car, passenger coach and
smoking car in that order, with the
sleepers in the rear. The train left White
River junction at $3.50 a. IN. to-day, 40
minutes late, and was followed 20 min
utes later by the Montreal express over
the Central Vermont railroad The Que
bee train is known as No 80 and the
Montreal as No. "a.
In the meantime north bound freight
train had arrived at Canaan, 10 miles
down the road, at 4:l0 a. m, on time.

One of the drawing cards at the
State Fair to be held at White River
Junction October l, 2 and 3, will be the
appearance of the entire corps of cadets
of Norwich University. If present plans
are operative the men will leave North
field by special train as early as possible
on the morning of the first, arriving
there in time to pitch camp before din
ner. AT one o'clock they will escort
Governor Proctor to the grounds for the
formal opening of the fair. Each day
exhibition drills will be given, including
infantry, artillery, saber and Butts rifle
drills; also battle exercises. At the close
of the fair the corps will return by
special train, that academic duties may
be resumed the following day.

CRASH CAME QUICKLY.

The freight train was on straight
piece of track, about mile in length,
and the Quebec express had rounded a
curve in this stretch when each engineer
saw the headlight of the opposite train
burst out of the fog. Both engineers
set their brakes and then jumped, while
the two great locomotives crashed into
each other and rolled into the ditch. The
baggage car in the rear was hurled back
into the passenger coach like a great
ram and tore it asunder from end to end .
A few windows were broken in the
smoking car and the Pullmans were
uninjured.
The ill-fated passenger coach was filled
with more than 80 people. One of those
who escaped said that as the train was
rounding a curve someone in the front
of the car began to sing so that nearly
every one was awake when the crash
came.
When those who were in the other
cars recovered their dazed senses, they
were hurried 70 the demolished passen-
ger coach, where groans, cries and
shrieks were rending the air

CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT.

According to Division Superintendent
w. R. Ray, j. A. Crowley, the night
train dispatcher at Concord, sent dis
patch to John Greeley, the night oper-
ator at Canaan, that No. "a was one
hour and ten minutes late. The order
which Conductor Lawrence of the freight
train showed after the accident, distinct
ly states that No 80, instead of "a, was
an hour and ten minutes late. Conductor
Law ence, believing that he had suffi-
cient time in the hour and ten minutes
to reach the side track at West Canaan,
four miles beyond, before No 80 reached
it. ordered his train ahead.
The superintendent declared that the
accident was due to the mistake in plac-
ing cipher after the 3 in the number of
the train instead of a 4.

thus checking the treatment of but twen-
ty-ive tons of ore at one time. With
the Chilian mill it means shutting of
from fifty to eighty tons at time, and
the only practical results obtained on
low grade ore from the use of the Chilian
and other mills ere with a steady grind
each day. Then, too, the stamps are less
complicated and the average mill opera
tor or mechanic employed about the
mills is better able by reason of more
experience with stamps, to make re.
pairs in that kind of mill.
One other fact has been d. nonstrated
here, and that is, that fine grinding is
most suitable to the Black Hills ore
Well informed mill men in the Hills
express the opinion that the future will
see the introduction of the tube mill
with grinding to i50.inch mesh. The
Mogul Mining company has installed
one of these mills, but it is not yet in
use. One difficulty found here with the
tube mill is the absence of the proper
quality of gravel. In Montana some inn
portant tests we're made, however, with
quartz rock and it is not improbable that
this rock might be used with the tube
mill here.
In justice to each of the companies
here it should be remembered that the
nature of the ore varies in different
properties and methods that apply in
one instance would not necessarily be
profitable in another, still the expert
ments now being made are expected to
prove most fruitful and beneficial gen.

Freight Rates.

For the convenience of Presidents ofthe
western half of the state the meeting of
the state board of railroad commission
ers which was to have been held at the
headquarters of the commission in Sioux
Falls on September 26 has been continu-
ed until October Is, and Rapid City has
been substituted in place of Sioux Falls
as the point at which to hold the meet
ing.
The meeting is for the purpose of Sc
curing information which will intelli
gently prepare and put into effect new
schedule of freight rates in that part of
South Dakota lying west of the Missouri
River. Rates east Of the river we're ad
justed by the board last spring. But
three great railroad systems are inter.
ested in the proposed new freight rates
west Of the Missouri River-the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul, the Chicago
and North western and the Burlington.
Each of them will have representatives
present at the Rapid City meeting.
That the railroads will strenuously op-
pose any reduction in freight rates west
of the river is assured. They base
their opposition on the ground that that
portion of the state particularly the
region between the Black Hills, through
which the new extensions of the Mil.
waukee and North western railroads ex.
tend, is as yet very sparsely settled and
that it may be years before the new
lines are operated at profit.
All jobbers and shippers who are in.
terested in the proposed reduction Of
freight rates in western South Dakota
will have the right to appear at the Ra
pid City meeting and furnish such in,
formation as they desire relating to the
promulgation and putting into effect q
new schedule Of freight rates in that
part of the state.

Advice 70 Homeseekers.

That the application for listing of ag.
ricultural lands in national forests may
be made as easy and simple as possible
for the homeseeker, the forest service
has issued q blank form which is ex-
pected to prove Of much benefit to those
applying for land under the act Of June
! IL, 1906
Intending settlers were formerly in
formed that no set form OF application
was necessary, but that they should des-
cribe the land accurately in letter to
the forester. In attempting TO comply
with these instructions, applicants would
frequently omit some very necessary
facts and sometimes the description of
the lands were so indefinite that an ex-
animation was not warranted because
forest officers would not have been able
TO locate the claim from the description.
The new form is very simple and will
assist persons as much as possible in or
der to avoid the necessity of return of
application because ofindeinite descrip.
tions 1t is a two sheet folder, with the
first page reserved for the application,
the second and third for the forest SER
vice regulations under the act and the
amendments. On the back of the form
is township map which will make it
easy to make an accurate location of the
claim.
Applicants who fill out this form will
avoid delay in the examination of the
land they wish to enter. They may be
obtained either from the supervisors of
the various national forests or upon APP
plication to the Forester, Washington,
ID. G..
The work of examining lands in which
applications have already been made is
progressing rapidly in all the national
forests and all of the applications now of
record will be acted on during the next
few months. When national forests are
created, agricultural lands are carefully
excluded from the boundaries, but it is
impossible to cut out small patches OF
agricultural lands and these areas are
opened to settlement under the act OF
June IL, 1906.
