Tho Telephone DISPATCHER.

The following is a description of
the telephone dispatcher, which many
railroad men believe eventually will
supersede the telegraph in the dis
patching Of trains:
Each dispatcher Is provided with a
chest transmitter and a head set,
while the equipment OF the station
operators consists OF a special set, in
Guiding q desk arm and a hand set.
1t was found more convenient to do
away generally at the stations with
the head pieces. because Of the fact
that operators at stations are obliged
to attend to switches and signals, so
that the headpiece to them is a nui-
sance In issuing orders over the dis.
patcher's circuit the same rules gov.
erning the movement of trains by tele-
graph are followed. This equipment
has given such good service that at
no time has It been necessary to re.
sort to the telegraph service.
1t has been found, after careful
study, that the trains on one section
Of the division have been safely han
died with much greater speed than is
possible under the old telegraph sys-
ten. In fact. the dispatcher is busy
only about SIS per cent. OF the time,
while other dispatchers adjoining have
been kept busy all the time.

AvERTED CATASTROPHE.
Presence Of Mind Of Engineer on the
Burlington.


But for the presence of mind OF the
engineer, Mac Wade, who had charge
of the north-bound passenger train,
a fatal wreck might have occurred on
the Burlington line near Mill City,
when a stray freight engine and the
passenger collided. The stray was
backing down hill without orders, and
the passenger was running late. For
tunately Wade saw the engine APP
preaching, and after reversing his
lever, causing his own train to back.
he jumped. The two engines Were
badly broken up, the combination mail
aud baggage coach splintered into
kindling wood and the passengers
given a severe shaking up. Mail Clerk
Hosford had his shoulder broken dur
ing the impact of the collision, while
passengers in the first cal had to be
dragged out through the windows to
safety. The wreckage piled high on
the track and prevented traffic for
nine hours. The wreck occurred near
Smiths siding, a small point between
Hill City and Redfern.

SUICIDE GRAVE.
Unknown at Death, and Buried In Pot
tiers Field, Body Has Been Exhumed
for identification.


After lying three months In a sui
cide's grave in the potter's field at
Deadwood, 1t is now likely that the
remains of the unknown young man
who took his life here in November,
will soon be identified and receive a
proper burial.
The possible clue to the identity Of
the suicide was furnished by Robert
r. Trip, a well known attorney of
Yankton, S. D.. who Is here for that
purpose. Mr.. Trip had the body ex-
humed, and after a careful examina-
ton declared hat he thought It that
of young Joseph Lee, Jr., son Of a
former Congregational minister Of
Yankton, who has been missing for
six months. Several marks on the
body tailed with marks on the miss
'ng Lee. AS soon as the father Is
heard from and the Identification
made complete, it is possible hat the
Cmains will be SEN to Yankton for
nterment.

THE DAKOTA WESTERN,
Some Curiosity About Newly Incorpo.
rated Railway Company.

Tatcu halfway company.
The filing of articles of incorpora-
ton for the Dakota Western Railway
company is a matter of more or less
speculation as to what the move real
~ means. 1t is proposed to construct
a line thirty miles long in a north
easterly direction from Whitewood.
This would take the line into the pro-
posed territory to be covered by the
Belle Fourche irrigation project under
way on the Belle Fourche river by
the government. 1t started from q
point on the Northwestern road at
Whitewood, and some of the ~incorpo-
rators of the new project are en-
ployes Of that system, but that may
be only incidental. At any rate, such
a line would put the Northwestern
into a territory which will in a few
years be n of the heaviest produc-
ing sections Of the state so far az agri-
culture is concerned. This fact will
hold good, whether the move is only
that OF a local company, or is a move
backed by the Northwestern road
itself.
