WIND DERAILs TRAIN.

Aberdeen, S. D., April 29.-An IN
usual instance of the strength of the
Dakota zephyrs is given by the local
representatives of the st. Paul rail-
road, who assert that the derailment
of a train on that line near Hague, N.
D., was caused by the wind blowing
the tender to the engine from the
track. The first theory of the accident
was that the rails spread, but an in
vestigation proved his to be roneou
and the only plausible theory the rail-
road men have is that the tender,
which was loaded with several tons of
coal, was blown from the rails by the
