ENGINEER LOSES MIND
OVER LONG STRAIN

Mitchell. S. D., Dec. 22.--As a result
Of the severe storm west of the river
10 days and the attendant mental
strain Engineer Baker, of the Milwau-
kee railroad, was taken to a hospital
in Mason City for treatment. The en-
gineer is on the run from Murdo to
Rapid City and was called upon to
assist to get the passenger through to
Rapid City at the time of the storm.
Ihe train was stalled west of Murdo
and Mr.. Baker was on duty for Is
hours, the limit under the federal stat
ute. He then went into the sleeper
and rested until the train got into
Rapid City. On the return run, on
reaching Murdo he went to pieces be-
coming partially insane and his hear
ing and sight affected. 1t is likely
that the continued mental and nervous
strain completely exhausted him and
1t Will take some much needed rest for
him to recover.
