On to the Pacific

The Mankato Daily Review contains
the following article, which contains
information OF interest to this section
OF the state and especially to the many
friends OF 4. c. Johnson:
~ he Western line announces
the completion Of its South Dakota
extension between Fort Pierre and
Rapid City. The extension is about
l65 miles in length and traverses a
rich agricultural section. The opera
ton OF one passenger train each way
daily except Sunday was begun Aug.
10Th, and freight traffic has already
been very large, many consignments
being held for some weeks awaiting
the completion OF the new line.
General Agent A. c. Johnson Of
this division OF the Northwestern has
been appointed general freight and
passenger agent Of the new line and
entered upon his duties on Thursday
last. Agent Johnson will assume
these new responsibilities in addition
to his present duties. He is regarded
as one OF the most able railroad
managers in the west and the branch
will doubtless prove very successful
under his management.
1.-The new line serves fifteen new
stations in addition to Fort Pierre and
Rapid City, and every one of these
towns is thriving. The towns are
Teton, Wendte, Van Metre, Capa,
Midland, Nowlin, Wokama, Philip.
Cottonwood, Quinn, Wall, Wasta,
Owanka, Underwood and B%oxelder.
Whether the town Philip was named
before it was designated as a lunch
station is not known. In n event..
this is the place where a stop is made
to permit passengers to eat and the
name in regular English would be
spelled "~Fill-up."

Young rancher living near | Underwood
south OF Deadwood became suddenly
insane. He was placed in a straight
Jacket at the hospital and in all pro-

Two eight-year old boys OF De Smet
have proven themselves heroes by
their presence OF mind in saving the
lie OF a little playmate. Rex Heat
and Harry Headburg were playing IN
a sand pit with Sidney Robinson
when the sand caved in, burying TIE
three. The first two named were only
partially covered and extricating them
selves, set To work to dig out their
companion. They dug with despera-
ton, using shovels with which they
had been making caves in the side OF
the bank, and at last uncovering him,
He wa unconscious, his mouth full
of sand and his face considerably
bruised. The little fellows ran fol
water and worked over him till they
brought him back to consciousness
A very few more moments would have
been too late, and had they ran fol
help instead OF doing the work them
selves the boys life could not have
saved. As neither OF them is YET
quite eight years old their feat is re-
garded as a remarkable one.
