DEATH UNDER
MOVING TRAIN
Farmer Jumps Wrong Way and
Is Killed

Mitchell Capital. very unfor.
fortunate and extremely sad acci-
dent occurred at Parkston Wednes-
day afternoon in which John Tile, a
farmer residing near that place was
accidentally killed.
Mr. TILES wife and three children
were starting away On a journey
and when the Milwaukee passenger
train arrived from the south Nh
Tile accompanied his family on the
train to get them nicely located.
The train stood at the platform
about five minutes and when ii
started up Mr. Tile made rush to
get off.
Conducted Moran, who was in
charge of the train, stated that he
was standing on the front end Of the
smoking car and was looking back
to see that everything was all right,
when he saw man Jump from the
train. He said Mr. Tile jumped in
the opposite direction from which
the train was going and threw him
off his balance when he lit on his
heels. He fell on his shoulder and
rolled around so that his feet were
struck by the trucks of the passeng-
er car. This threw the body of the
man on the track. When he saw the
man fall Conductor Moran said that
he pulled the air signal and stopped
the train with car length and 8
a half, but not before two of the
car trucks had passed over the pros.
trate body of Mr. Tile. He was cut
in two just above the waist line.
The friends of the family who
wer. at the train went on the cars
and took the family off. The wife
was nearly distracted when she was
informed of the killing of her hus.
band.
The train had just got under mo-
ton Wien the accident happened
and if Mr. Tile had not made the
fatal error common with so many
people of getting off cars in the op
posite direction in which they are
moving the killing would undoubt
edly have been averted.

FOOlS-and Fools

One editor writes as follows:
Take stroll through a cemetery
alone and you will pass the resting
place of the man who blew into the
muzzle of a gun to see if it was
loaded. A little further down the
slopes is a crank who tried to show
how close to a moving train he
could pass. In strolling about you
see the monument of the hired girl
who tried to start the fire with gas.
oline, and knoll that covers a boy
who put a cob under mules tail.
That tall shaft over the man who
blew out the gas casts a shadow over
the grave of boy who tried to get
on moving train. Side by side the
ethereal creature who always had
her corset laced to the last hole and
the intelligent idiot who rides a BIZ
cycle nine miles in ten minutes
sleeps unmolested. At repose is a
doctor who took dose of his own
medicine. There, with the top of a
box driven over his head is rich
man who married a young wife.
Away over there reposes boy who
went fishing on Sunday, and the
woman who kept strichnine and
powders on the top cupboard. The
man who stood in front of the now
ing machine to oil the sickle Is quiet
now and rests beside the careless
brakeman who fed himself to a
seventy-ton engine. and over in the
potter's field may be seen the bleach.

Injured by Train

A man who has since given his
name as Sam Ray and says that ne
resides in Rapid City, was seriously
injured last Wednesday afternoon
by being struck IN some unknown
manner by C. & N. w. freight
train. The man received a broken
jaw and several skin bruises and he
did not regain consciousness for sew
eral days. AS no one witnessed the
accident it is hard to determine the
real cause. The injured man was
taken to the Hotel Dake, where he
received proper attention from DIR.

GREATEST CROP
IN rs YEARS
Binders and Headers Busy in
Greatest Grain Harvest

Hand county has enjoyed many
good crops, some exceptionally good,
but the crop now being harvested
has all others for 25 years "lost in
the woods, with the moss growing
on the wrong side Of the tree"
Hundreds of acres Of ripening
grain standing from waist to shoul-
der high make a beautiful sight as
the binder starts to circle the field,
clip it down and toss off the bundles.
Some years ago the work was done
with the headers. 1t was quicker.
and could cut closer to the ground.
But today, a great proportion of the
grain is put up with binders, and
dealers report almost exclusive sale
this year of binders, or the new
combination machine of header and
binder in one, called push bin
der"
Harvest hands are scarce, and
command big pay, but the farmers
of Hand county are resourceful and
helpful to each other. so with mod
crate weather the immense crop will
be taken care of.
In the Northwest
Minneapolis, July 25.-Grain buy
ers are receiving reports of good
crop conditions from all parts of the
northwest. One of the largest firms
made the statement today that from
present indications the northwest
will this year produce the largest all.
round crop of grain in its history
Another grain buyer said:
Il have travelled over all parts OF
three states, MINI, So. Oak. and No
Oak. The prospect is for good
all round crop. There are no sen.
sational features in sight. The crop
promises we'll for wheat, oats and
barley, with a possible decrease in
flax. Oats and barley will increase
considerably over last year and it is
reasonable to expect today the larg.
est yield of all grains, taken together,
the northwest has ever produced
The acreage of all grains is very
large.
