FATAL ACCIDENTS At WIN0NA
School Teacher Takes Acid by Mistake
and Somnambulist Is Killed by
Train.

Winona, Mimi, June 1. - Two fatal
accidents, with peculiarly distressing
features, ushered grief and sorrow
into two Winona homes yesterday.
M~istaking a phial containing car
bolic acid for a castor oil bottle, Miss
Mabel Kirst, aged twenty-five years,
drained the contents while in her
home.
The young woman held her nostrils
to make the medicinal dose less disa-
greeable, and for that reason several
ounces Of the deadly poison had been
taken into her stomach before she
realized her mistake.
Physicians, hastily summoned,
worked over the girl, but she died in
terrible agony several hours later.
Miss Kirst, who was a teacher in
the school at Plainview, had come
home to spend Sunday with her par.
ents.
Fred Sieboldt, aged forty-five, som
nambulist, was found at daybreak
lying between the rails in the North
Western yards. His arm had been
cut off and the victim apparently bled
to death
Sieboldt had been known to walk In
his sleep, and the accepted theory is
that he walked from his home to the
railroad yards and there lay down,
with his arm lying across the rail.
The protruding member was cut off
by an outgoing freight train.

Gilmore & Pittsburg Surveyors Arc
Still in the Lead.

Reports reached Dillon of a siren.
uous race on between the Gilmore G
P%ittsburg surveyors and the Oregon
Short Line surveyors to reach the
Salmon river canyon, south of Sal.
mon This canyon is the only pass
out of the Salmon river country to
the coast. and there is ROOF for but
Il track through the eighty miles
that will have to be trayersed along
the river, and much heavy work will
have to be done to construct even one
track.
The Gilmore & Pittsburg surveyors
passed through Salmon two days
ahead of the Oregon Short line sur
veyors, but it is reported that the
latter have caught the former and
rassed them Saturday.
However, the Gilmore & Pittsbure
people have the advantage in that
they have engaged the services Of
Harry Gulke to take their
through the Salmon river rapids by
boat, a very hazardous undertaking
at any time Of the year, and especial
ly SO at this time. when there is high
water.
Gulke is the only man in Lemh1
county who knows the rapids Of the
Salmon river. and it is doubtful
whether the Short Line people will be
able to find any other person who
would undertake the journey this
spring.

Gently released from the county Jail

term imposed upon them for compile
ity in a night raid in July, 1908, which
resulted in the death of John Hayes
and his daughter. Booi, who turned
states evidence, was sick while in
Jail, and died soon after his release.
This case, which attracted wide no
tice, grew out Of accusations of claim
jumping preferred by Walter Long
and Milo Long, who lived about eight
miles north of Culbertson, against
John Hayes. The testimony showed
hat the Longs collected several
neighbors, armed them with guns of
various kinds and visited the Hayes
place about midnight one night in
July, warning Hayes that he must
move. The next night practically the
same crowd again visited Hayes.
Hayes had armed a few neighbors
for his defense, and in a fight which
followed he and his daughter were
killed. Sixteen men were suspected
of having a hand in the raid, and, re-
markable to relate, all were either
convicted or pleaded guilty to the
charges preferred against them.
Walter Long was found guilty OF
murder in the second degree and was
sentenced to tEirty-fve years impris-
cnment. Milo Long was convicted
of murder in the second degree, and
the jury fixed his penalty at thirteen
years imprisonment. The other four
teen defendants pleaded guilty to a
charge of riot, and We're punished by
sentences ranging from a few months
to two years.
