TWO FREIGHT TRAINS
WRECK At AkM0NT

From the Mandan Pioneer: On the
night of December 18th, what might
have been a bad wreck occurred at the
siding this side of Almont. The con-
ductor of the east bound freight had re-
ceived orders 10 wait for No. 1 and for
the west bound freight at the side track
east of Almont. He ran his train into
the side track according to orders and
waited until the passenger and a freight
went by. He then started up and got as
far as the curve this side of the side
track when suddenly the brakeman riding
on top of the train threw on the air
brakes. he having seen that there was
another train coming on the same track
and westbound.
The eastbound was running about ten
miles an hour and the west bound was
probably making twenty-five and both
engineers had time to stop their respec-
tive trains to a certain extent, the en-
gines came together with a terrible crash
the east bound fairly climbing up on the
west bound engines.
Engineer Clarke and Fireman Wurde-
man. of the west bound jumped and
received several severe bruises and in
juries. Brakeman Lloyd Harmon of the
same train also was severely hurt, he
received injuries to his right leg that
will keep him laid up for some time.
Fireman Sa9miller of the east bound
train, who recently resumed his duties
after undergoing an operation, was
shaken up quite badly, is probably in
jured internally.
Five cars were smashed up in the
wreck besides the engines which were
badly wrecked. One stock car was
broken up together with four box cars
loaded with beer for prohibition North
Dakota. The explanation of the WRECK
is that the east bound engineer mistool
for the regular vas a special train and
his orders should have read to wait fol
three trains. +

NINETEEN BELOW ZERO
MUCH COLDER ELSEWHERE

Last Saturday it vas 10 degrees below
zero by the government gauge at the
Dickinson experiment station and again
on Monday it was 10 below, a repetition
OF the record entered on the 9Th. How
ever. this is nothing when compared
with the thirty below zero record in
Wyoming, 10 degrees below zero at
Denver, 10 below at St. Paul, 10 below
at New Richmond. Wis, and 1 below at
Chicago. the government records made
for December 10.
According to the dispatches. the cold
wave spread, Wrightlike, from the
Rockies to the great lakes, spreading
death, danger and disaster: in its path
with the coolest weather of the winter.
Several deathes are reported from Chicago
due to the extreme cold, and more than
thirty people were injured in a wreck
resulting from a cold twisted rail on the
Burlington road near that city. An ice
blockade at the waterworks intakes in the
lake at Chicago was the cause for stall
ing over fifty engines in the railroad
yards.
In, North Dakota the cold was much
more severe in the eastern part of the
state than here.
On thirteen different days mercury
registered below zero this month a,
Dickinson. and the average for the
month up to the 22nd, when it com
menced to get warmer, was S degrees
above zero. against 1871 degrees iI
former years. This indicates that the
cold has been a great deal below norma
for the first % days o. the month.
There is about four inches of snow or

FIREM EMS PAY.
Hartford Men Get More Money When
 Sick.

Just at present when the Water bury fremen feel trifle disappointed at the failure of the board of finance to provide an appropriation sufficient to give them the increase asked for, their Hartford brethren are coming in for some notice by the fire board of that city,says the Waterbury Demo- crat. It seems that the fire commits sioners up there are only now awak- ening to the fact that when a fireman is off duty for injuries or illness his income is greater than when he is regularly at work. This has been the case for several years and everybody acquainted with the situation knew 1t was so. but the fire commissioners were greatly surprised, apparently, when it was discovered by them.
 If a fireman is injured while doing fire duty he receives from the city full pay for the time lost, together with the amount of his doctors bills. Tn addition to this if he is a member of the State Firemen's association, he receives from that organization $2 day or SIP per week. The firemen's pay ranges from $500 to $1.000 year, which means from $2.19 to $2.74 per day. It is evident, therefore, that when he is injured and off duty his income is almost doubled. When a fireman is i'll he usually receives half pay from the city and the SIP a week from the state association, so that when he is merely i'll he receives more pay than if he were working.
 The fire commissioners as well as Chief Krug think that the firemen extend their illness" leave unneces- sarily because of the incentive to get more money. One of the commits sioners urged the adoption of the New Haven system, which pays a fireman only for the first "A hours that he is sick.

New York, Dec. 13.-President and Mrs. Taft went shopping in Fifth ave- nue today. The rain poured down in torrents-the aftermath of a snow storm last night-but this made no difference to the president and his wife. They arrived from Washington shortly before two o'clock this aft ernoon and entering automobiles at the Jersey City station, came to New York by way of the Twenty third street ferry. Mrs. Taft was accom- panied by her sister, Mrs. Thomas K. Laughlin of Pittsburg.
 John Hays Hammond came with the president as far as Jersey City, but took his leave when the shopping expedition got under way.
 This incursion into the Fifth avenue shops was decided upon on the train. It was thought for time that the rain might interfere with the plan, but neither the president nor Mrs. So direct from the ferry house they drove through the pelting rain to a jewelry establishment on the upper avenue. A police automobile preced- ed the presidents car and a secret service machine followed.
 The advent of the president at the shop was entirely unexpected and the holiday throng forgot the problem of Christmas presents for the time being when word of the arrival of the dis the place.

BIG COAL POCKET.
Mammoth Chute Opened by New Ha- ven Road-can Handle 50o,ooo Tons With Ease.

Probably the most modern structure of it's kind in this section of the coun- try is to be found in the yards of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company in the Brooklyn dis trict in the form of a mammoth 500,000 ton coal shute. which has recently been completed by the Jeffrey Construction company, and which will be used for coaling engines on the Naugatuck and Highland divisions of the New Haven road. While there is still some minor work to be done about the structure, all of the heavy work has been fin ished.
 The shute is model of convenience. It is situated between the tracks of the former Naugatuck and Highland di- visions at a point just below their junction. The cars containing coal to be placed in the shute are run up on a siding at the extreme end of which is a basin under the rails. The car can be brought to a halt over this basin and then, by the use of an automatic lever, the coal may be dumped into the basin in hardly a minute of time. A revolving carriage of many steel shov- els on heavy chains catches the coal as it emerges from the slrute and car ries it along under the big bin which contains the shutes.
 The chain of shovels then travels up the side of the structure to the very top, running across and back to the bottom of the big basin for another load. At the top the shovels dump au- tomatically and run along a channel the length of the building. In the bot tom of this level channel are many holes closed by sliding covers and any one of these can be easily opened in order to let the coal into the proper sbute With thiS IoDp strine of show els continually revolving an immense amount of coal may be brought up from the basin under the side track and dumped in the respective bins at the top in very short time.-Water- bury American.

WAR OVER STATE
CAME LAW AGAIN
(Times Special Service. }

OLYMPIA, Jan. 15.-The bien-
NAL fight over the state game laws
is to begin in a few days. There
are a half dozen members in both
houses who have bills amending
the present game laws up their Of
fetal sleeves and only waiting for
the propitious moment to intro
duce them. Representative Sims
of Jefferson county is out to get
the scalp of the hound dawg''
and promises before he gets
through that there will be no
more bounding of deer.
Mr.. Sims contends that the
houds are more responsible for
the determination of deer than all
the hunters, as the dogs are con-
tinually on private hunting expe-
ditions at all seasons. Further he
asserts that the still hunter has
no chance in the world against the
man who slaughters deer with the
assistance OF hounds, although
there are score OF still hunters
to one who runs the dogs.
The game law fight was one OF
the bitterest at the last session.
