Two Survivors Reach Here.

Herbert Heshett, a tramp printer,
and Judd Deal, tramp cook, arrived
in Norfolk Monday morning and an.
nounced themselves survivors from
the wreck of train No. 116 near Cor
don.
Some fifteen tramps, they said,
made an effort to board the train at
Chadron but not more than seven were
successful in evading the trainmen.
One of the tramps who was killed
was George Ostergaard, a tall Swede
who has been working in the irrigated
country near Belle Fourche. The
other tramp victim they called Jim"
but knew nothing else concerning him.
The two men here said they were
sleeping in the eighth box car from
the front when the wreck occurred
The car was torn from the trucks but
they were not injured.
The tramps who were killed, they
said, were suffocated in the mud and
water. They were in a car further
ahead. The negro escaped by being
thrown through the door of the box
car. Two men with Heshett and
De q were missing for time.
The two wreck victims" said that
their homes were in Waterloo, Ia,
but they left Norfolk for Sioux Falls.

The Raid.

Touching the recent raid instigated
by the civic federation, the officers
of the federation issued the following
statement:
AT the instance of the civic feder-
alton, the county attorney had the in
mates and managers Of the houses Of
i'll fame, east of the city, arrested and
brought into justice court, where they
were assessed fine which they paid
at once, thereby acknowledging them
selves to be violators of the law. or
in other words, criminals. When
such characters get so bold and so
fagrantly disregard the law as to
become a decided menace to the
morals of the community, it Is high
time that every citizen who has the
best interest of the people and the
city at heart should aid in every way
possible in driving these blots from
our borders. And the end is not yet"

LOOKING FOR RELATIVES.
Frank Moreand While Intoxicated
Was Run Down by M. G. o, Train.

Sioux Falls, S. d., July special
to The News: The authorities OF this
county are striving to ascertain the
whereabouts of relatives of man
whose name is supposed to be Frank
Moreland, whose body lies in the
undertaking rooms of Coroner L. ID.
Miller, in this city, pending instruc-
tons from relatives as to what shall
be done with the body.
Moreland met his death as a result
of over-indulgence in intoxicating
liquor. While in drunken stupor he
went to sleep on the track of the
Omaha railroad company near Valley
Springs, east of Sioux Falls, and was
struck by locomotive hauling a
freight train. At the point where the
unfortunate man went to sleep there
is sharp curve, which prevented the
engineer seeing the object on the
track in time to stop the train.
