Messner. age about 80, and Leslie
Wager, aged 81, both deaf mutes, were
killed by a gravel train on the Mil
waukee road just west of this place
last evening. The head OF the young
or man was severed from his body
and Messner's head was crushed.
Messner was a surveyor and was
employed on the new construction
work which the Milwaukee Co. is
doing near here. His home was at
Farmingdale, S. D., where he has q
sister. He has another sister at Cas-
selton, N. d. 81
Yager's home was in Alberta, Mimi.
His father resides on a farm near
Morris.
The gravel train is operated be-
tween Milbank and Odessa and was
backing eastward when the accident
occurred. The crew knew nothing of
it until Odessa was reached and a
mans q was found on the rear
car. A speeder was then dispatched
along the line and the remains OF the
men picked up. Close friends of Mess

the fight with Burns, Pelky was asked

Burns took hold OF him before the bout

Lane Attacked Bill.
Senator Lane made another attack
upon the Indian appropriation bill
when it was taken up by the senate
committee. He charged that a man
whom he didn't name-was already
scheduled for the place on the COM
mission to make the roll of the Chip
pewa Indians in Minnesota, and was
formerly attorney for the lumber COM
pany which holds the contract upon
which the commission will have to
pass.
1.-THE fact that appropriations cover
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars
go masquerading about in a bill under
misleading titles, would seem to indi-
cate the necessity for a reasonably
careful scrutiny of other of it's pro-

The accident occurred a few min

the principal feature of the celebra-
ton, in honor Of the late Queen Vic
toria's birthday anniversary, was just
ended n the participants with thouS-
ands of others were crowding up the
steps of the pier and surgfng towards
the auditorium when the pier floor
sagged.
An instant later the supports gave
way and the crack n groan OF
breaking timbers were heard mingled
with the shrieks and cries of the VIC
TINS as all went down into the mass of
debris and writhing human forms on
the sand.
The cause of the crash is officially
attributed to the over burdening of the
pier caused by the fact that the audi
torium had just bee locked after a
number Of people entered. This caus-
ed the crowd to surge while additional
thousands crowded on the steps.
Immediately after the accident the
huge pile of wreckage marking the

The reverend gentleman was given
the most profound attention which the
earnestness and instructiveness of his
words commanded. The musical part
of the service was rendered by the
