Away at Hospital Here.
OTHERS ARE INJURED
Thos. March and Son Still in
Critical Conditon-Accident
Near Prinsle.

Mrs. Thomas March, Of Hill City,
passed away Wednesday evening at the
Sisters hospital from injuries received
In wreck near PrinRle last Saturday
evening when agasoline railroad motor
car on which che In company with her
husband and two sons we're riding.
crashed into the rear end Of BurlinR.
ton freight train.
When picked up by Conductor
Forrest Hill Of the freight, it was
thought that ell four Of the victims
we're dead and in fact all we're uncon.
cious for an hour or more. Mrs.
March never regained consciousness.
They we're taken aboard the train and
brought as far a. Mlnnekahta where q
special train with doctors from this
city met them and after ministering to
their immediate needs we're hurried to
the hospital here. One Of the boys es.
capped with a slight injury, the other
however had his back osdly injured,
while Mr.. March sustained a fractured
skull and his wife double fracture of
the leg besides internal injuries. Very
little hope has been held out for her
recovery since the accident.
The motor Gar on which they were
riding belongs to the Hill City Lumber
Company anu March has been in the
habit Of using it over the tracks Of the
Burlington in the southern Hills. A
telephone message which 10 supposed
to have been from March came to the
dispstchers office In Dead wood at abou,
seven O'Clock saturday night, asking
where the east bound freight was. He
wss told that it would be at Pringle q,
nine O'Clock, where Conductor Hill had
orders to allow the west bound freight
to pass him. March, with his wife and
SONS then left Hill City, bound for thi.
city and 10 supposed to have been run
ming about thirty miles On hour when
trey ran into the freight train. The
freight Grew we're told they would have
about thirty-flve minutes at Pringle
and were ordered to get in the clear
They were backing on the main line te
get to the siding switch, when the
motor car bore down on them.
At the time there was q heavy rain
falling, accompanied by thunder and
lightning. and it 10 supposed that
March and his family, who we're in ar
open car, had their heads down to pro
tect their faces from the rain, wher
they crashed into the rear end Of the
freight.
Reports from the hospital this morn
ing are to the effect that Mr.. March and
the boy are recovering nicely but news
of the death of Mrs. March has been
kept from them owing to their preoar.
ious condition.
The remains of the unfortunate lsdy
were shipped to Hill City, Thursday
morning for burial.

There is, says a writer on Japan In
the June Wide World Magazine, one
fine old Shinto temple that is reached
by a most marvellous avenue OF cryp-
tomerias, a sheltered spot beloved of
snakes. one Of which we found on the
temple steps making frantic efforts
to disgorge a large frog which 1t had
attempted to swallow, but which now
lay firmly wedged into the upper part
of It's gullet. That the frog was still
alive we could see. as hind-leg pro-

UNDUE FEAR OF GERMS.

Some one has been alarming us be
cause he found a few bacteria on
gummed postage stamps. though he
should have been astonished if he had
not found them. Some years ago an
investigator reported that he had
found many cigarmakers, with mU-
cous patches in their mouths. who
were moistening the cigar end with
saliva. He. too. spread alarm. but as
no cases of syphilis from cigars were
known, smokers went calmly on re-
gardless. We now know that the in
fcctinS organism of syphilis perishes
very quickly. Postage stamps seem
to be just as harmless. though. of
course. no one wants to put them in
his mouth Immediately after they
have been handled by the dirty fin
gers of some one else. even if the
germs so deposited are dead as door
nails. In the same way common sense
tells us not To put dirty money in
the mouth. for it may have recently
been tucked away i'm a very dirty
place, yet its germs. too. are mostly
dead, and we can lay very little dis
ease to its agency. Its evils are of
