THRILLING MOMENT.
Martin Redmond of Northwestern
Line, Has Remarkable Escape
from Death Under Cars.

Aberdeen, Feb. 15.-One of the
most miraculous escapes from death
in a railroad accident in South Da-
kota occurred at Redfeld when the
Northwestern passenger from Pierre
pulled into the station.
AS the train neared the depot Mar
tin Redmond, conductor, was stand
ing on the steps of one of the coaches
ready to alight. The steps were slip
perry with ice and he fell to the plat
form. The momentum of his fall
threw him under the moving train
just after the first set of trucks had
passed.
Grabbing the rods under the coach,
Redmond hung on, sliding on the
rails for a distance of twenty-five
feet, when he lost his hold and fell
between the rails. When the rear
set of trucks came along, however,
he grabbed hold of them and hung on
for dear life. sliding On the ground
between the rails for a distance Of
another 100 feet before the train
finally came to a stop. His own son,
Max Redmond, a student at Redfeld
college, rescued him from his peril
Gus position.
His first words after r%egaining his
feet were: We'll, l hung to her all
right" He was only slightly bruised.
Mr.. Redmond is about As years old
and is one of the oldest conductors
on the Northwestern line in South
Dakota.

Demand In Belle Fourche Valley for
Good Men.

Belle Fourche. Feb. 15.-There is
considerable demand here at this
time for farm hands. The farm hand
problem has been a big one here for
the past few years, a number of
farmers being literally forced out of
business because of their inability to
get dependable help. The Belle
Fourche Commercial club has been
working on the problem for the past
year with the hope OF lettering con
ditions. The jobs that are open now
r good for from three months to a
number of years and carry a salary
with them Of $25 to s35 a month and
board. But no man can secure one
of these jobs unless he is well rec
commended. A line to the secretary
of the local commercial club will
bring to the applicant a blank to be
filled out and returned. These APP
plications will be taken up i'm their
turn and the party seeking employ
ment will be notified when there is a
job ready.

SAVAGE MEN
They Ignore Misery for the Joy of
Fighting and Killing.

Dunkirk, France, Feb. 15.-Men
like to kill each other exactly as they
like to shoot big game. They will
freeze for days in the trenches with
out protest ii there is the prospect OF
a hot fight ahead.
This was the explanation of the pa
tient endurance of the troops in the
snow-swept trenches in northern
France and Flanders, given to me to,
day by a Belgian officer straight
from the front.
You civilians miss the point oil
il" said the Belgian with earnest sim
certify. Let me give you an exam
pie. I've done a lot of big game
shooting. because l was stationed In
Belgian Congo for many years, and
after / had killed a lion or an ele-
plant l used to watch with fascina-
ton the faces of the negro bushbeat-
ers. / used to see on them a brutal,
animal leer, that grew out of the
lust for killing. 1t used to make ms
shudder.
II think that same smile of killing
must have been on my face, even rs
| watched the natives. because I've
seen 1t on faces of my soldiers and
of my fellow officers after we've kill
ed a batch of Germans. They look
at the dying Germans with the same
kind of a leer that l used to see on
the faces of those Africans.
killing Is a game" he continued,
Men like 1t. All men like it.
How little the women of the
world know of their men. and how
little the men know OF themselves,
until they get a chance to kill"
The officer said he did not believe
there could be a very great change
in tactics in the spring, explaining
that the great armies are so close to-
gether and have SO cut up the ground
with trenches that 1t will be almost
Impossible, in his opinion, for them
to break apart without u~nbearable
losses. He declared the only way the
artillery can be moved is to bridge
the trecnhes in the face of the en-
emy's fire, a heavier job than bridg-
ing streams.

Wichita, Kan. July 2.-The follow
ing letter was read al the meeting of
the city commissioners the same be-
ing from the chief of police
To the Mayor and Board Of Com
missioners of the City of Wichita:-
1t has come to my knowledge that
certain eyilly disposed and misinform
ed persons are circulating the report
to the detriment of the city and its
police force that intoxicating liquors
are being sold promiscuously in this
city, and that certain disorderly hous-
es exist on fremont street; and also
hat the police force is in sympathy
with lawbreakers.
This is not the fact. The sales of
liquor have been reduced 10 mini
mum, and now consist mainly in the
filling of orders made by private con-
sumers, said orders being sent to an
other state. All of which can be ver-
flied by inquiry at the various rail-
way agents Of this city.
On May ?, and long prior to any
agitation thereon in the public press,
the mayor issued an order to suppress
all disorderIy houses in the city and
ibis order has been complied with.
