The Brattleboro reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1907-1912, 1907-01-25

Last Saturday was made memorable
by the large number Of railroad disas'
tiers which occurred on that day, eight
Of serious nature being reported from
various parts Of the United States. Az
Fowler, Ind, 10 people were crushed
or burned TO death and 10 injured by
the collision between freight train
and the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago
and st. Louis Queen City Flyer, which
left Chicago Friday might. The passen'
ger train was running mt 90 miles an
hour when the accident happened. Its
cause was the failure of the engineer
TO see the block system light on account
of heavy fog At De Soto, Kan,
three people were killed; at Minneapo'
lis three were hurt in an accident on
tn Great Northern Road; at Bureau,
ILL.,, six were injured on the Rock Island
road; ut Troupe, Tex, large number
were injured. There were also serious
wrecks at Denmark, $. c., and Webster,
Mass, although no one was hurt IN
these. Perhaps the most horrible OF all
the accidents that occurred Saturday
was that caused by the explosion of
a carload of powder five miles west Of
Terre Haute, Ind, as an accommodation
train was passing freight. The en-
tire passenger train was blown from
the tracks and the shock was felt for
80 miles. Twenty-Five charred and
mutilated bodies were taken from the
smouldering ruins and many other per-
sons were fatally injured. The cause
of the disaster is not explained.

Commenting on these figures Inc
Messenger says:
1t is interesting to notice that where
as the much denounced auto had one
death charged against it, horses ana
teaming were responsible for not less
than IA. 1t is true, of course, that the
proportion of teams to autos is greater
than IA to /, but, on the other hand,
the risk in the use of autos as compar'
ed with that in the use of teams IS
popularity said to be immeasuraply
greater. The real fact is, however l

FARMS GIVEN AWAY BY
UNCLE SAM,

The government is going to
distribute nearly 100000 acres
during the coming year.
This will be the biggest dis.
tribution made by the United
States government since Okla
homa was opened for settle
ment. The land is located on
eight different reservations in
four states. Nearly all of it is
regarded for family purposes.
The tracts will be opened by the
lottery system. TIL reser-
vations with their acreage are
Lower Brule, South Dakota,
ST $50 acres; Rosebud. South
Dakota, S35, 900 acres; Flathead,
Montana, !, 1000, 900 acres; Black
feet, Montana, 50 600 acres;
Occur d. Alene, Idaho, 10000
acres; Lemhi. Idaho, $4,000;
Yakima. Washington, 1,!45,OOO
acres; Cofville, Washington, H.
100000 acres. This makes
total of 4,9lO,560 acres. Divided
into tracts of 16Oacres it would
make 30,691 hotnesteads. Some
of the homesteads in some of
the reservations will be limited
to 40 acres, each. The 40 acre
homesteads will be in reclama-
tons districts, n d will be
under government irrigation.
Lower Brule will be the first
reservation opened. The land
is valued at$l Is to 81, per acre,
paid in annual installments.
The other reservations are be-
ing surveyed but it will re-
quire some time to co mplete
the work.
