WHOLE TOWN IS. MOVED AWAY.
Evarts, s. D, Passes Into Oblivion on
AUGUST 1.

Aberdeen, S. D., July 2S.-The town
Of Evarts, until a few months ago the
greatest cattle center in the country,
will pass into oblivion August 1. Not
even a railroad track will remain to
mark the place where millions of head
of cattle have been cared Tor on their
way from the great plains to eastern
markets. When the Milwaukee rail-
railroad engineers settled upon a site
several miles north Of Evarts for a
bridge across the Missouri river the
town was doomed and the exodus be-
gan. Buildings were drawn across the
prairie to Glenham and Mobridge. In a
few days the Milwaukee will tear up
it's tracks leading into Evarts. That
will be the finish.

Should the remaining months Of this
year be as free from accidents as the
first half the total, as compared to TAI
for 1907, will be but $40. However,
other forms Of accidents appear to be
increasing. Perhaps one OF the reasons
why railroad accidents are decreasing
is that the recommendations Of the
coroner's office have resulted in the
erectior of many new safeguards, such
as gates, elevated crossings, and

Chicago, July 2S.-Some stronger
word than the one used by General
Sherman in his famous definition OF
war must be used in giving an ade-
quate idea of the dangers of travelling
about Chicago. Statistics just COM
pleted by Coroner Peter NJ Hoffman
indicate that the soldiers job-from
the standpoint OF danger-is q sine

classified as dangers OF a city" These
include accidents Involving steam rail-
roads, elevated roads, automobiles, and
