Butte, Mont, May 2-The messen-

of Engineer Busse, on the east bound

cific, which blew up near here last
night, have been accounted for. 1t is
now believed that the body of Engi-

robbers, but so far no clue as to the
identity of the men has been found
The explosion threw the first engine
to the side of the track, and the sec
ond engine followed. The coaches re-
manned on the rails
Carl Mango, who was riding the
blind baggage, was seriously hurt.
He was buried under the wreckage
and was not found until dug out
George Ehle, the fireman on the sec

mail car left the track and a cold
storage fish car was demolished The
train was going at a speed of forty
miles an hour when the explosion
lifted the engine from the track.

CLEARING OUT MOUTH Of
THE MISPILLI0N RIVER

In doing the proposed dredging in
the MispilllOn River, bids for which
will be opened at the United States
engineering office in Wilmington on
February 9th, great change will be
made at the mouth OF the stream,
which, it is expected, will overcome q
difficulty which has existed there for
long time. 1t is the intention to re-
move an island which is just inside the
mouth.
Cedar Creek empties into the Mis-
pillion just inside the mouth Of the
latter, aud until recently the water
coming from the two streams fouI d its
way into the bay in a rather uDbatis-
factory manner, so much so that h was
difficult to keep to the channel and
there was very little channel to follow.
This junction Of the two streams result
ed in the formation Of an island at the
junction point, and it is this that it is
proposed to move.
This improvement would have
amounted to nothing had the govern
ment not first protected the mouth OF
the MispilliOn by jetties, which work
was recently completed. These jetties
start at the junction of the two streams
and run in a straight line out into the
bay far enough to carry the flow to
deep water, and as the space between
the jetties is narrower than the Mis-
pillion, and as the water from Cedar
Greek joins it at that point, a swift cur
rent is the result, and it serves to main
tain depth Of seven feet, without the
Intervention of other agencies, which is
something that did not exist before.
This current Of water will, it is believed,
serve to keep the junction of the two
streams clear, after the island causing
the trouble now is dredged out.
The MispilliOn River is used by the
boats trading into Milford, and they
have been subjected to much inconven-
ience because Of the troublesome bar
from the conditions outlined
0DUNgs oENaAog VI AnA1 1AAuaNAuu UUAA1
have been delayed many times, having
found it possible to get over the bar at
the mouth, except at high tide The
trouble was taken up by the engineer
ing office and Assistant Engineer Mil
Ter made study, with the result that
the present plan was worked out. A
model Of the mouth Of the river was
made Of cigar boxes, this work being
done by one Of the government inspec-
tors. The model was so made as TO
show the exact depth Of the channel
and the outline Of the bottom of the
river, each layer of wood representingA
foot Of earth. With this model it was
plain to see where the trouble was and
what was the best thing to be done tC
remedy it.
