The train running from Rapid
City to Deadwood was ditched

gers being more or less tumbled
about and some were slightly in

cold contracted the rails and
threw the engine off, the bag

slid by the engine and toppled
over on the opposite side Of the
track.
Those injured were: Mrs. E. A.

ABANDONED sHACKs ARE
DEATH TRAPS

Pierre, S. D., Jan. 3-Aban-
doned claim shacks are proving
death traps for strayed animals
in the west country. When
commuter proves up and leaves
his homestead he usually locks
or nails up the door to his
house. Eventually someone comes
along breaks the door open and
goes in either for night s lodg-
ing or to see if anything Of value
has been left behind. The door
is left to creak on it's hinges un-
til sometime in a storm a horse
or steer enters for shelter and
shoves the door to. D. s. West
and Harry Newly of Leslie last
week found such q trap with q
dead horse inside, it having
gnawed the scantling in the wall
nearly through in several places
before it died. Chas. Grain, of
Manila, recently found one of his
milch cows in a deserted shack.
This is especially true Of east
ern animals who are more used
to shelter than the native range
stock.
