last, in which eight persons were
killed, made to the interstate com
merce commission by ii. NJ Bel.

pliances, the chief blame is laid on
Flagman Law. The report says in
part:
This accident was caused by
the failure of Flagman Law to prop
erly protect his train. a contri.
buting cause was Train Dispatcher

at Junction Switch to clear second

No. Is was not out of the block.
Three other persons are also at
fault: Conductor White ID for
permitting his train to enter a

Boss Farmer Meets Death.

Boss Farmer Weickert, of Chey-
enne Agency, was drowned in the
railroad reservoir at LaPlant last
Friday evening about 7 O'Clock.
He had been out Oh the reserva-
tiOn west of that place on official
business and about six O'Clock
started on the return trip. The
weather was stormy and after
crossing the railroad track the
team had evidently taken an old
trail that led to a crossing used
before the reservoir was put in, in
stead OF keeping to the trail now
used that crosses the creek north of
the deep water line.
T At the point where the accident
happened the water is fifteen feet
deep, and the team evidently drop
ped off into it without warning to
Mr.. Weickert.
Nobody witnessed the accident,
and the first intimatiOn of it was
when the team was seen floating
Cn the water next day. They were
tOwed ashore ard after several
hours search the body of the
drowned man was recovered from
the water. The buggy top was up
and this is supposed to have pre-
vented him from getting out be-
fore being overcome by the water.

ROBERT p. HICHEACLE
TELLS OF DEMANDS
Representative Of Indians on Way
Home From Conference
at Washington.

Robert p. Higheagle, OF Me-
Laughlip, one OF the Indian COM
mission that has been at Washing
ton for several weeks conferring q
with the committees on Indian af-
fairs with reference to the opening
OF the balance of the Cheyenne and
Standing Rock Indian reservations
west o! the river, is spending the
day here on his way home from
Washington. When interviewed
today in regard to the probability
Of the open.ng of the reservation,
Mr. Iigheagle said:
1t is rather doubtful yet if the
reservation will be opened. An
amendment was made to the house
bill providing that $40 per capita
be paid to the Indians on that part
Of the reservation already thrown
open. This in Il measure will ap-
pease my people who are opposed
to the opening, but it is still
doubtful whether or not the bill
will be passed and the reservation
opened.
THE INDIANS CASE.
When asked on what grounds
the Indians opposed the opening
Mr.. Higheagle said The gov
ernment has never yet paid us for
the land already thrown open to
settlement. That is the principal
reason we are opposed to the open
ing of any more. Then too, there
has been considerable confusion as
to the timber allotments awarded
to the Indians at the opening, and
we want to have that settled
There are several other reasons
why we oppose the opening, but if
the money is raid to us we will
allow the opening to proceed"
Mr.. Higheagle stopped over here
with his daughter who is attending
the Presentation academy. He
IS fine specimen of the Indian
who has given up the old tribal
ways to enter the civilization OF
the white man. He speaks Eng
lish huently, and is conversant on
all topics of interest.
Two other members of the COM
mlttee, Thomas Frosted, of Fort
Yates, and Claude Kills s-Spotted, of
Cannon Ball, accompanied Mr..
Hlgheagle as far as Aberdeen, 60
ing on through to their homes.
Benj jamin White, the other mem
ber, was left behind az Washing
ton, but is expected to go through
the city toni ght. Aberdeen News.

Chief Inspector Belnap is rather
critical Of the management Of the
st. Paul road. In this connection
he says.
a few weeks p,ior to this acci-
dent the commission investigated
another accident occurring on an
other division of this railway
Both Of these investigations in
dlcateS that the rules OF the COM
pany are not properly understood
10y the employees nor enforced by
the officials. Steps should be
taken at once to see that the en-
ployes have a working knowledge
Of The rules and that they obey
them.
The more extensive use of steel
ears has been recommended at
various times as II means of pre-
venting great loss Of life in rail
road accidents. In this accident
the ears in which all the casual.
ties occurred were steel ears
Chief Belnap expressed the
opinion that if the train had been
made up of wooden cars the loss
of life would have been greater.

CONTRACT LET FOR
DOUBLE TRACK GRADE
ST. Paul Firm Gets Job OF Grading
Milwaukee Line for Double
Track.

The Morris, Shepard & Dougher-
ty Construction Company, of st.
Paul, Mimi, was awarded the con
tract for the grading on the double
tracking work between Aberdeen
and Summit, a distance Of seventy
five miles, and involving the handl-
ing of nearly 5000, 900 cubic yards
Of earth work. The company will
commence the work of grading the
rOadbed at once in order to have it
completed by the time the contract
calls for. The work will be COM
pleted partly by July lst and the
Balance by October 1st, and it will
be necessary for the company to
commence work simultaneously all
along the line in order to have it
completed in time.
The railroad company is dOin3
the concrete work Of widening the
bridges and culver.s and replacing
wooden bridges with steel and con
crete structures, and the company
will also do the track work after
the grading has been comp pleted by
the contractors. The line will be
laid with ninety pouna steel, and
the roadbed be strongly baliasted.
This line will be one Of the best
stretches of double track in the
country when completed, and will
be but the first step towards the
double tracking Of the entire Mil
waCkee system between Mime
apolls and the Pacific coast.
The double tracking Of the TWEEN
ty-three miles between Summit
and Milbank has also been author
ized for this season, and next sea,
son it is understood that work will
be carried on west of Aberdeen and
from Milbank east at the same
time. The plan is to have the en-
tire system double tracked within
three years. - Aberdeen News.

solicit membership and col!ec, fees.
Il. Il. English and i. b. Rosen-
berger were appointed TO act in
that capacity until the next meet
ing.
1t was unanimously decided to
adopt commercial club rules and
bylaws.
Mayor Stoltzman then responded
to request for few remarks,
which he delivered in his we'll
known happy manner.
The new club starts out with a
charter membership Of over fifty
which will be largely increased
during the coming week, and it is
a conservative esti.cate to state
that the membership will reach a
hundred before the charter is
closed.
The purpose of the club is to
look to the advancement of Mo-
bridge in every possible manner,
The club is not merely CONNER
cial organization, the social feature
being one Of the essential points
which will receive every possible
consideration. Membership in the
organization is open to everyone,
and it is proposed to provide suit
able quarters and furnishings for
the maintenance of a place where
the people of the city and visitors
in the city can spend their spare
time in an enjoyable manner and
be placed in touch with the leading
people of the city. The good re-
suits to be obtained under such an
arrangement will pay the cost of
maintenance many times over and
result in making Mobridge better
known all over the country.
Present plans are for the elec
tion of an executive committee,
which will look after the CONNER
cial business of the club proper
In other words, this committee
will attend to the business of the
club, while the Moblidge club will
as whole take in wider range
than would be properly come be-
fore a commercial club.
The News regrets that its limit
ed time and space will not permit
a more exhaustive treatise of this
question, but in closing it is suf-
flee to state that there is not a city
in the northwest where club of
this character can accomplish as
much good as it can in MObridge.
With the great possibilities along
commercial and other lines during
the coming few years, a live club
can be the means of securing many
business enterprises for the city.

bership.
Many Timely and Appropriate Re.
marks Made by Business
Men of City.

In the nelghhOrhOOd or a nun
dred of the gentlemen of the city
met at Pierce's new cafe WedneS-
day evening for the purpose Of or
ganizing the MObridge club, which
is in many senses the same as a
commercial club, except that it
covers a wider scope than Il purely
business organization, the social
welfare Of the people Of the city
being given more consideration
than under a business organiZa-
iton.
At o'clock those present were
seated to one Of the most delicious
banQuats ever spead before the
people of the city, the prettily dec
Grated tables being laden with an
abundance of good things to eat,
being served by the Ladies Aid
Society. Chairman G. S. Stevens,
of the old commercial club, direct
ed the attention of those seated at
the banquet tables, and Rev. n. f.
Cole asked blessing After the
inner man had been fully satisfied,
Chairman Stevens called the com
pany to order and a vote of thanks
was extended to the ladies for the
abundance of tOothsOme viands
served by them. The chairman
then made a few remarks outlining
the purpose of the meeting.
b. S. Hill was then called upon
for remarks, which he devoted
largely to the details of the organ
ization Of the club, such as rooms
and furnishings, expense Of main
tenance and the securing of mem
bers, choice of officers, appoint
ment of committees and general
details of organization. His re-
marks were very fitting and the
essential points were brought out
in a clear and concise manner.
Attorney p. &. Morrison fol-
lowed Mr.. Hill and in the course
of his remarks dwelled upon the
organization of the club, the fea-
lures of the same and the ultimate
success Of the organization.
J. w. Harris then took the floor
and devoted his remarks TO the
business interests of the city, the
various possibilities for the club
accomplishing much for the gen.
eral benefit of the city from COM
mercial and social standpoint.
Well taken and interesting re-
marks were made by MayOr-elect
Goodman, Judge j. G.. Vawter, J.
f. Richards and b. S. Hill, each
of these gentlemen advancing
many excellent ideas for the ad-
vancement of the city and it's peo-
pie along commercial and social
ideas.
Election of officers of the new
club then took place, which result
ed as follows: j. F. Richards.

dent; p. c. Morrison, secretary;

moved and carried that an assist
ant secretary be appointed by the
secretary. 1t was also moved and
carried that the election of the ex-
ecutive committee be laid over
until the next meeting.
Chairman Stevens then retired
from the chair and the newly elect
ed president, Mr.. Richards, pre-
sided over the further delibera-
tiOns of the meeting.
