FAPMER KILLED BY
TRAIN At ANETA.

Aneta, N. D., Sept, 19.-As the local
passenger train was about to pull out
from the Kloten depot Halvor Rols'
land, PROSPEROUS farmer Of Lee
township and who lived a. mile north
and a half mile west Of Kloten came
from the elevators and walked up the
track towards the depot, all the while
looking at the passenger train when a
fast west bound freight came up from
behind him and struck him, killing
him instantly. The engineer OF the
passenger saw the danger the man
was in and sounded the whistle but
that only deadened the noise Of the
oncoming train. The unfortunate man
never knew what hit him. He was a
little hard of hearing and that, ana
the noise of the whistle was in great
measure the cause of his being rLl
over. He was badly crushed, his LETT
arm was broken and his skull crush
ed. The body was dragged about sixty
feet.

permit of Investigations as to coal
deposits, if they so desire, may elect
to receive patent for the land, rserving
the coal to the United States. This
will avoid delay in the issuance of

much if there is delay in the issuance
Of the patent. The new regulation Of
the department under the law passed
by the last session, simply gives the
claimant the opportunity to obtain

Hack Driver
Nearly Killed
BISMARCK HACK DRIVER CAUGHT
ON CROSSING AND IS
BADLY INJURED

Nearly a fatal accident occurred
Tuesday morning at the Fifth street
crossing Of the N. P. railroad tracks
in Bismarck
Hans Olson driver Of one of Hinck-
ley's hacks, was coming from the
south side Of town about II O'Clock in
the forenoon, and as the crossing
was not guarded he was not aware
that fast moving stock train from
the west was approaching.
He attempted to turn his team
from the danger but was too late,
and his rig was struck full force by
the engine, though the engineer stop
ped the train almost instantly. The
hack was completely demolished and
both horses were so badly injured that
one had to be shot.
Accompanying Olson on the box Of
the hack was John Garrett, one OF the
night drivers and who was or duty
at the time. Both he and Olson were
severely injured. They were taken
Immediately to the hospital for treat
ment, and during the day it was feared
that Olson would not recover, but he
regained consciousness during the
evening and it is said he will rercover.
Garret has been removed to his home,
but his arms and back are severely in
jured, and he too. will not fully recov-
er for some time.
The drop gates of the crossing have
net been working for several days
Had a fagman been stationed there
