Milwaukee Extension to Begin Service
october 81. .
Sunday, Oct. 27, is the date set for
the formal opening of the Chicago ana
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroads
new route across the state from RAPID
City to Chicago. c. B. Wiser, the
mmercia agent at Rapid city, eX-
poets the new schedule to arrive any
day. 1t is announced that for the
present but one train a day will run
each way via Chamberlain to Chicago,
Minneapolis and st. Paul. The run to
and from Chamberlain, 219 miles, Will
be made by daylight to get a view OF
the famous Bad Lands, but later 1t Is
the intention, if the business warrants,
to put on a night train to the east.
The road is now practically all ballast
I'd and work will cease in a few days
at the Oacoma gravel pit. The small
portion of the track on the west end
which remains to be bailasted will re-
ceive gravel from the Cheyenne river
pits this week. The Milwaukee is the
shortest route to Chicago from the
Black Hills. The establishment of
passenger service on the Milwaukee
lines means three through trains each
way daily between Rapid City and Chi
cago, Minneapolis and st. Paul, where
two months ago there was but one
each day.

SNAKES BITE FATAL.
Nine Year-OId Boy Killed by Fangs OF
. n RaftlHr

.Ha.a3 H d AtllClSI 4
The latest victim in South Dakota
Of the deadly rattlesnake was the. 3
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. N. H.
Schooler, prominent residents Of Ly-
man county. While out on the prairie
near his home in company with a lit
tie cousin the two boys ran upon the
snake, which fastened it's fangs in the
~9-year-old boy. h snake was a very
large one, having inc rattles. After
killing the snake the cousin had pres
ence of mind enough to take one Of
his shoe strings and tie it tightly
about the leg of the injured boy imme-
diately above where the fangs of the
snake had ,entered. But his strength
evidently was not sufficient to draw
the cord as tight as necessary. The
two boys then hurried to a nearby
school house, where school was in ses-
sion. The teacher lacerated the wound
and hen attempted to uck out the
poison. A physician was summoned
and everything that was possible was
done, but without avail, FOR some
hours after being bitten the little fell
low died.
