Madison, Neb., July Especial to
The News: David Brewer, one of the
old settlers of Madison county, was
attacked by n vicious bull at his farm
near here last night, and tossed over
the fence. He was struck In the

believed that he will be all right with
in few days. He was unconscious
for an hour after having been struck
by the animal, but no flesh was torn
open.

bull broke out and charged upon its
owner, lunging with terrific force into

RAPID cITY.PlERRE LINE.
The Race Has Been Hurried Across
South Dakota.


The completion of the Rapid City
Pierre line which ended this week.
has been hurried. 1t began last sea-
son and much work was done last fall
and winter, although the severe win
ter in the north made it necessary to
stop work for two months.
A building race has been on be-
tween the Milwaukee and the North
western. Both roads have been build
ing from their lines on the Missouri
river to Rapid City. Sometime ago
another road, the Crouch system, con
struCted a line between Rapid City
and Mystic on the Burlington, and this
! line is operated with a close traffic
arrangement with the Burlington
This arrangement gives Rapid City
two lines of the Northwestern, reach
ing many points in the hills, one be
ing a north and south line from the
| Nebraska system touching Ho
Springs, Buffalo Gap, Deadwood, Lead
and Belle Fourche, and the other con
meeting the hills with the eastern par
of the state; access to the Burlington
with its big Black Hills system anC
line from Nebraska, and the Milwau
kee with its system in the eastern
part of the state.
1t is with this new line of railroad
stretching across from Pierre to Rap
i'd City that it is expected the Norfolk
Dallas branch of the Northwestern
will some day be extended Various
points have been reported as probable
junction points on the line.
