This morning all cars have been dis
tributed to all beet dumps and are
loaded ready for shipment to the fac
tory. One freight train crew will
handle all cars on the Northern Pa
cific west on the main line and
branches, until the movement is clear
" established, and then it is probable
that two crews will be necessary tt
handle the business.
A train load Of empties will leave
Billings in the morning and as they
pass each dump they will exchange
their empties for cars loaded ready
for movement. It is said that the
farmers can have all car that are sci

From Thursdays Daily.
Frank G%ountanis. a Greek foreman
Of a gang of Greek section laborers,
who were repairing the track at the
scene Of the wreck 1t Yonng's Point
died at the local hospital yesterday
afternoon from injuries received the
night before, while working neal the
wreck.
The accident, which resulted in the
death Of Gountanis was witnessed by
no one. The dead man went from the
bunk car about 8:15 o'clock and a
few minutes later some of the Greeks
in the party came In and told his
brother, George Gountanis that the
man had been injured.
The injured man had been struck
by the work train as 1t passed and
knocked under the wheels Of n Of
the cars. His right arm had been
severed from the body as clean as II
cut by a surgeons knife. His head
had been badly injured and his back
bruised, while it is believed that he
also suffered internal injuries.
It was not thought at first, that the
injuries were serious, though the dead
man lost a large amount of blood. His
condition became serious during the
night, however, and he was brought
to the Billings hospital. The shock Of
the wreck was more than he could
stand, however, and he died at the
hospital
Coroner Smith was notified and the
body was removed to the morgue. It
has not vet been decided whether an
inquest will be held
The dead man was "a years old. He
had been in America about four and
one half years, two years OF which
time he was employed by the Burling-
ton railroad. For the balance Of the
time he has been in the service of the
Northern Pacific. His brother, George,
who has been in this country for more
than Ave years has charge Of the body.
Besides the brother here the dead nan
has a mother n father and three
brothers living In Chipiana, Mantinea,
Greece. where they are farmers and
where the dead man was born.
Scores OF Greeks employed by the
railroad company went to the under
taking establishment last night to sec
the dead body.

Not long ago there entered the Office
OF the superintendent OF trolley line
In Detroit an angry citizen demanding
Justice In no uncertain terms.
In response TO the officials gentle In
qulry touching the cause Of the demand
tho angry citizen explained that on the
day previous MS his wife was boarding
one OF the company's cars the conductor
thereof had stepped on his spouse's
dress, tearing from ii more than yard
OF material.

THE PERSONAL EQUATION.
II Plays q Very Large Part In Success
In Business.

If you stop for a moment to analyZe
success In business you Will see II
comes through contact with people.
IL Is all hinged upon the manner OF
your contact. On every side you are
surrounded by multitude OF persons,
In every one OF whom there exists a
potential force that may be exerted,
at one time or another to add to your
success. The oftener you cause that
force to be exerted the faster your
business will grow. You can attract
these Individual forces If you choose
and get the most from them, or yoI
can repel them and suffer actual dam
age from having come I'm contact with
them, or you may take middle
course, rs many business men do, and
drift along in a purely negative man
ner.
Looking at business In this light, 1t
Is apparent that the underlying ele-
ment which contributes most to the
success OF any undertaking and to
business I'm the aggregate Is the art
OF finding the vital points Of human
contact that will set In motion these
forces. The personal element must be
stamped upon your business.-Edward
Paysop Hatch in System.

I'm a locality where foxes abound l am
convinced that this animal destroys
but few, If any, chickens. Our trouble
there was, first OF all, hawks, then
skunks, owls and raccoons. The fox
never invaded the chicken coops or
broke up the sitting turkeys out at the
base Of the mountain. or course In
winter a fox may sometimes trap a
grouse In the snow at night, but who
