EROOKINGS CITIZEN INJURED.

Well to do farmer, living in Medary
township, nine miles south OF the city,
was severely injured in a railroad
wreck on the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad near Glenwood Springs, Colo.
last Friday night. The extent OF Mr..
.Thompson's injuries are not known,
but his name is in the list of those
severely injured. Mr.. Thompson left
here a couple of months & for a visit
with his children, who are at the home
Of his parents in Atlantic, Iowa, and
he expected to go from there to Cali
fornia to spend the winter.
The following account of the wreck
apepared in q dispatch 10 the daiiies
from Glenwood Springs:
AT least twenty persons were kill
ID and thirty injured, many Of them
seriously. in the collision OF "A west
bound passenger train, no. >, and an
cast bound freight train on the Denver
4 Rio Grande railroad, between Oct
scro and Spruce Creek, twenty-five
lilies from Glenwood Springs last
night.
While nothing official has been
given out as TO the cause OF the wreck,
IL is said to have been due 10 a mis-
understanding of orders on the part
of Engineer Gustaf Olson of the pas
senger train. Olsen. however, claims
he understood his instructions perfect
". but that he misrcad his watch. thus
encroaching on the time of the freight
train which was being drawn by two
locomotives. the first which was III
charge of his brother, Sig Olson.
When the news of the catastrophe
reached Glenwood Springs every avail
able physician and nurse in the city
was pressed into service and a relief
train was sen to the scene.
THE work of rescue vas immediate
ly begun. Body after body was taken
from the wreckage and for a time II
appeared as though the heart rendins
task would never be completed.
"As the bodies were taken from the
ruins they we're laid side by side on {

q MEAN K E..

A scurrilous Joke was perpetratrt
on a young man from a town some
100 miles more or less from Cavour.
The Young man wanted a wife and 50
advertised for enc. He was answered
presumably by a young man from
here and on Sunday the would-bc-
benedict appeared and the jokers
twhoin even Teddy would accord a
place in the Ananias Club put up q
Job on him. The joke was carried
rather too far, but may prove a les.
son for the young man not to- expect
a wife worth having, who can be
caught so easily, and it may be the
means oil saving him from some ad
ventures in the future. At the same
time the joke is really not mucf
to the credit of the participants
in it. The young nan returned 70 hi'

Last week we mentioned that Miss
Maxine Nelson, daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. r. Nelson. had won a fine $500
piano offered b. the Huron Journal
World-Spirit as a prize for securing
the largest number Of new subscribers.
In its last issue the Journal-Norld-
Spirit has an excellent picture of Miss
Maxine. together with the following
Write-up:
This prize was given to the CON
testant bringing in the largest number
Of new subscribers, Miss Maxine COM
ing under the wire with a strong
lad, which is remarkable from the fact
that with few exceptions the sub
scribers reside outside Of Beadle
county; in fact are scattered all over
the state: and many outside of the
state. The generosity of Brookings
friends. and also of the many friends
of Mr.. Nelson throughout the state,
is in a large measure accountable for
the many new subscribers.
Maxine was born at Bookings OH
the 18th day of September, 1897, and
is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. T,
Nelson. She is a young miss Of lex
septionally fine a~ttainments, always
at the head of her class at school, and
it goes without saying that she vii
be an apt music pupil.

corning the Satrang decision. and

lowing reply: You are advised that
unless there is a protest. or contest,
or other objections to an entryman's
