FOOT CRUSHED

Eugene Desarmo, well known
and popular brakeman on this divi-
sion had his left foot badly crushed
at Rexford last Friday morning.
His train had been doing some
switching there and was just in
the act of starting when it was dis
covered that there was hand brake
set which prevented it, SO Des-
armo got in between the cars to
release it. The engine pulling on
the train pulled the draw bar away
out and when he stepped on the
draw bar his foot slipped in between
a shoulder on it and the dead wood
of the car. When the engineer
could not start the train he backed
up SO that he could take up the
slack again and the draw Lar being
pushed in, Desarmo's foot was in
between at that instant and was
held there until the slack was pull
led out again, when he jumped out
on the ground.
He received what aid could be
rendered at Rexford and was brot
in to Whitefish on train No. 4
which came along shortly and was
placed in the hospital.
The forepart of his foot is badly
crushed, but it is not expected that
any part of it will have to be am
putated. He expects to be up and
around in another week on crutches,
but it will be several weeks before
he can go to work again.

Helena, has been placed in charge
of the Catholic parish here. He
arrived last Thursday and held his
first services Sunday. Next Sun
day he will be in Eureka and the
Sunday after in Libby and the Sun
day after that he will hold services

Father Venus intends to carry
out the work started by Father
McGlynn as soon as he has been
here long enough to get acquainted
with the routine of business. He
does not think that anything will
be done towards building the par
sonage until next spring.

FIRST FAST
MAIL TRAIN

The first of the fast mail trains,
which it has been rumored would
be put on by the Great Northern,
went thru here Tuesday, un-
announced and without ceremony
of any kind. 1t came as a surprise
even to the railroad men, who had
heard nothing more than rumor
about it until the latter part of last
week.
This train has been put on to
compete with the other roads to
secure the contract from the govern
ment to carry the mail from Chicago
to Seattle, which means several
million dollars to the company
every year.
1t will be strictly a mail train
and will carry nothing but thru
mail and express and stops only to
take water and at division points to
change engines.
The train leaves st. Paul at 8
O'Clock a. m. and is here the next
day at II a. m. The run is made
from Cut Bank to Whitetish in 3
hours and 55 minutes at a speed of
32 miles per hour. From White
fish to Troy the run is made in 3
hours and 25 minutes at a speed of
40 miles per hour.
They are scheduled to stop
here four minutes, just
long enough to change engines
and oil all the boxes.
There is no doubt but what it
will be able to make the time as
it came in here on time and was
out again without any delay so far.
There was quite crowd at the
depot to see the train come thru for
the first time. Engineer E.O. Larter
and Fireman Jim Dyer with en-
gine 143O pulled the train in, with
Conductor Jack Gill in charge.
They were seven minutes late out
OF Cut Bank, but made that up by
the time they got to Browning, and
from then on the time was made
easily. Only one stop was made
at Fielding for water.
Engineer R. w. Larter and Fire
man Newell pulled the first train
out of here in charge of Conductor
}. p. Bradley. Camille Des Jardins
was the express messenger.
At present the trains are only
running on temporary schedule
until everything gets in running
order when a new time table will
come out.
The first train from the west will
be thru here tonight at 8 p. m.

FEED STORE

c. H. Ratchye, at one time ex-
press messenger on this division,
will start feed store here which
he will open tomorrow, October | j..
There never has been a feed store
in this town, so this new enterprise
will fill a long felt want, and there
is no doubt but what Mr.. Ratchye
will make a success of it as he has
thorough knowledge of this busi-
ness.
He will carry a stock of all kinds
of feed, grain and nay. His Office
will be in Chas. Mobiles building
and he has rented Longs ware
house for store building.

FlENDISH
CRIME

Last Friday, Henry Shultz, a tie.
maker employed by VIM. Brigg,
, became dissatisfied and quit his job
Mrs. Alice Markham, a daughter
of VIM. Brigg, is employed in the
camp as cook and time keeper
Shultz had to make application to
her for his time, and when every
one was away and she was alone,
he approached her cabin, secured
his time check and then assaulted
her. She is quite husky woman
and fought him off bravely. Her
frantic cries for help frightened her
assailent, and fearing some one
would hear and come to her rescue
he made his get away.
AS soon as Mrs. Markham spread
the alarm at the camp, in company
with her father she started for
Whitetish in a wagon to make a
complaint, but the rig broke down
and they had to walk in, which
gave Shultz big start on them.
1t was supposed he came to White
fish, and went out on a west
bound train. The police officers
telegraphed ahead to the conductor
who reported that two men answer
ing his description were on the
train and they were turned over to
the authorities at Libby.
Sheriff O'Connell happened to be
in town at the time SO he went out
on No. 43 that night to look them
over, but neither one was the man
he wanted. Monday morning
Officer Brooks arrested him in town.
He was charged with crime that
would necessitate holding him over
to the district court, but aftel
County Attorney Stevens made a
thorough investigation, he decided
that the charge would not hold, SC
he was given a hearing in Judge
Garr's justice court charged with
using indecent language and as
sault, and was sentenced to serve
80 days in the county jail and pay a
fine of 5000.

JUMPS HIS BAIL

Last pay day Robert B. Dunlap,
a Great Northern brakeman, oh.
tanned $50 from Howell and Shut
under false pretenses, passing a
check for 55f on them. He left
town Immediately and went to
Somers where the officers were
about to nab him, but he slipped
away and came back to Whitefish
and was taken in by Officer Brooks
on Thursday.
He was given a preliminary ex.
animation before Judge Carr and
plead not guilty. His bond was
fixed at 500 which was furnished
by E. J. E. Bugg and John Lindhe
and he was to appear for trial at
10 O'Clock Saturday morning, but
after the court had waited the re.
quired length of time he did not
show up and the bail was forfeited
Bugg and Lindhe swore out a
warrant for his arrest Immediately
afterwards for jumping his bond.

The passage of the Dillon civil
service bill, designed to simplify
the clerical work of a legislative
session and reduce the force to ac-
tual needs, will have the effect of
calling the attention of the people
to much needed reform. The
law may be dead letter, as the
constitution gives to every legisla-
ture the privilege of selecting It's
own employees, and one legislature
can not dictate to the next what
number or character of clerks it
shall employ. This law will there
fore be simply an advisory meas
ure, but it contains good advice
and may have good effect. The
feature of the law which cuts out
the transcribing of the senate and
house journals at cost of $4,000
is a practical feature and will be
enforced.

Gov. Vessey has appointed H.
P. Packard of Redfield as member
of the board of charities and cor
rections; A. N. Cook of Vermillion
pure food commissioner, and w
A. Dean member of the state fair
board. The fight of Mr.. Wheaton,
the old pure food commissioner,
ended rather disastrously. He first
attempted to read into the pure
food law provisions which it did
not contain, but the courts refused
to sustain his rulings. Then he
prepared a bill containing his pet
theories which he attempted to force
through the legislature. The state
druggists association also prepared
bill framed along the lines of the
national pure food law, which, with
few minor changes, was passed.
One concession asked for by Mr..
Wheaton was granted. He asked
that the power of enforcement be
placed in the hands of the com
missioner instead of the board of
pharmacy. This was granted and
then a new commissioner was i'm
mediately appointed. Mr.. Wheat
on's gain by his efforts to antago-
nize the druggists seems to be
minus quantity.

So far as railroad rates are con

So far as railroad rates are con-
cerned the Legislature appears to
have left us in worse condition
than we were before. In the regu-
lation of freight rates, which is of
far more Importance than that of
passenger rates, apparently moth
ing was done. A two cent mile
passenger rate law was passed, but
for this the legislature can not be
blamed, as the platforms of both
parties demanded it. The effect,
however, will probably be detri-
mental. A case was already pend
ing in the federal court to force the
railroads to grant q cent rate.
Judge Garland has ruled that the
federal court has jurisdiction in
the action for an injunction pro-
hibiting the enforcement of the new
2.cent rate, and that it is in effect
simply an amendment to the case
already pending. The state su-
preme court has therefore dismiss
ed the action commenced in the
state courts and the federal court
is given exclusive jurisdiction. The
chance of getting a favorable rul-
ing in the case before Judge Car
land as it now stands, will be even
more doubtful than when the peti-
tlon simply asked for the q cent
rate, and thus the new law is apt
to prove detrimental.

SD BON HoMME COUNTY, s d THURSDAY, MARCH ii. 100

The general appropriation bill
passed by the legislature carries
about ST., 1926, 900 for the coming
two years, or $500, 900 more than
ever before. The special appro-
priations bring this amount up To
about So, 500, 900, or about $780,
900 greater than the previous leg
Iislature, which ran the state in
debt about 100000. The appro-
priation for the completion of the
capitol building will be returned to
the treasury when the state build
ing lands are sold, and there will
doubtless be an increase in the as
isessed valuation of property, but
making allowance for these, there
is every reason to believe that we
are living beyond our means, and
at the end of two years will find
ourselves farther in debt than we
are at present.

from his pocket. At first he had re-
course to all kinds Of safety chains;
then one morning he took no precau-

himself to be robbed. AT night, on
returning from his business, he took
up the evening paper; he uttered an
exclamation of delight. A watch had
exploded In a mans hands. The vic

U. S. SUPPLY SHIP CELTIC.

Messina, JAN 20.-MessIna was
swept by fire again yesterday. For
many hours soldiers worked heroical-
ly to keep the flames from destroying
the remnants of the town and eventu'
ally succeeded in getting the blaze un.
der control. The extent of the dam
age can not be estimated.
It is supposed that smoldering en-
bers in the ruins were famed into
flame by the strong wind prevailing
here for the last two or three days
and apparently the fire had good
foothold before efforts were made to
extinguish it.
Fire Spreads Rapidly.
The flames made fast progress and
soon swept through the remains OF
the beautiful promenade along the
harbor front. The small force of fire
men was augmented by detachments
of soldiers and sailors from the war
ships and pumps and lines of hose
were brought ashore from the vessels
The survivors of the earthquake
have been rendered more helpless by
the intensity of the cold. The hills
all about are white with snow. Many
of the refugees are still living in tents
and with not sufficient clothing te
protect them. The constant cry is fol
lumber for the construction of huts
and the government is doing every
thing possible, but the need is mos
urgent. The U. S. supply ship Celtic
is furnishing relief supplies to thu
refugees.

Charles Kaufman While at
Work at F. & N. Factory
Borne Down by an Ava
lanche of Lawn Mowers.
HIS REMARKABLE NERVE
WILL PREVENT DEATH
Face and Head of Unfortunate
Young Man Badly Lacerat-
ed by Blades and His Jaw
Bone Fractured.

Early this morning Charles Kauff-
man well known young man, son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Kaufman, South
injured by pile of lawn mowers fall
ing over on him at the F. & N. lawn
mower works. He was removed to the
hospital Immediately in a cab and his
injuries dressed by a physician and
dentist. 1t is as yet too early to de-
termine whether the injuries will
prove serious although his physician
stated this morning that he believed
they would not.
His injuries consist of many cuts
about the scalp and face also many
bruises about the body. Four teeth
on the lower jaw and three on the up
per were knocked loose. His jaw bone
was fractured but this is believed to
be the only bone broken. The cuts
include scalp wound about s inches
long on the crown of the head which
was opened to the skull. It is not
believed that conclusions of the brain
will result from this wound. He has
several cuts about the face; one on
the lower lip about 3 inches long and
very deep another on the forehead and
one on the cheek, also very deep. 1t
is probable that his facial features
will be marred for life.
Buried Under Movers.
Kaufman. was employed in the
blade department of the factory and
had several of these articles on his
bench this morning when the large
pile of finished mowers located be,
hind him, fell and partially buried him
underneath. In falling one of the ma
chimes is supposed to have hit him on
the back of the head causing the
scalp wound. In falling his face
struck the blades on his bench. 1t is
regarded as remarkable that he was
not instantly killed.
Displayed Much Grit.
Young Kaufman. who is better
known as Jake" bore his injuries
with great fortitude although the ply
sicians stated his pain must have been
intense. He did not lose conscious
ness during the entire time. After the
operation at the hospital he seemed to
be resting easier and 1t is believed his
remarkable nerve will result In his re
covery.
