The pasesnger train was about three hours'late and was running at about 40 miles an hour when it .crashed in to the engine of a freight train that was doing some switching in (he yards at. Detroit The fault was on the part of the crew of the freight as they had no right on the track at the time of the accident. The crew on he freight jumped in time to save their lives. Both engines were complete wrecks after the crash!- I Three mail clerks and the elec^, trician on the train were among the most seriously injured. I A special train was made up and took the injured to this city where they were given every attention. The baggage and mail car was completely demolished and the engine of the pas senger turned completely over as it rolled down a high embankment. Engineer White was known as one of the most faithful employes of theber company. He was widely known over this state and Minnesota, Missoula, Mont., Aug. 31.—The government's work in poisoning prair ie dogs on infested stock ranges in this national forest district has had results this year which forest officers have decided warrant its continuance in 1910. For two years systematic efforts upon an extensive scale have been made by the forest service in co-operation with the stockmen, to rid the national forest ranges in Ari zona, Colorado and New Mexico of these pests, but this work was not undertaken in the northwest until the spring of 1909. Eastern Montana and the Dakotas seem to be the worse infested portion of: this district. The national forest areas of these regions are compara tively small, but in some instances the colonies or towns of these ani mals cover an area of several hun dred acres and the -native forage plants have been greatly injured, while some range areas outside the forests have been practically devas tated.

It is made of representatives of fed eral and provincial governments, the universities skilled in minerals, tim and^other natural resources. The Hno. 'qijifford' Sifton is chairman of thejQpnjmission In the,spring of the present year small allotments of funds were made to the supervisors of the Custer and Sioux national forests for the purpose of starting this work. The funds were for the most part expended in purchasing strychnine and other drugs used in preparing grain for bait, while the grain was furnished by the set tlers. I The poisoned grain, usualy wheat, was distributed at the holes through out the dog towns, both by forest of ficers and by forest users. More time was eonsumeil in -perfecting the plan of co-operation than had been anti cipated and much of the bait was put out too late to obtain the best results though several large dog towns were entirely cleaned up. Experience has proven that the grain should be put cut early in the spring—in fact, just as soon as the animals appear from their winter quarters—for the best re sults may be obtained before green grass becomes available. rv LEFT GOLD BY TRACK. (By Associated Press.) -Lewistown, Pa., Aug. 31.—One of the most audacious and startling hold ups of a railroad train in the east for years occurred oh the eastern slope of the Alleghany mountains early to day, when a ion highwayman stopped a Pennsylvania express train with a dynamite charge and at the point of a revolver compelled the crew to car ry thousands of dollars in coin bul lion from the express car to a hoe in the wilderness. When the conductor of the train attempted to interfere with the robber's planns he was shot in the hand and the bandid succeeded In making good his escape. In the darkness, however, he took a bag containing ten thousand new Lincoln pennies for gold coin and staggered away with it, leaving the real gold bullion to be recovered by the railroaders. When the news of the robbery had reached the railroad and express companies the officials immediately ordered every available detective from the east and #est to be sent in an effort to capture the bandit.

'*C narrows, a wild and lonely mountain gorge, through which flow* the Jun ita river, when suddenly a dynamite charge exploded and the engineer brought the train to a stand still. When he looked out to see what the trouble was he was confronted by a masked figure holding a revolver In either hand. "Are there any mail cars on this train," demanded the highwayman. "No," was the reply from the start led engineer. The engine crew was then forced at the point of a gun to accompany the robber to the first express car, where the messenger was looking out to dis cover the cause of the sudden stop ping of the train. A revolver was pointed at the messenger's head and when the highwayman threatened to blow up the car with dynamite. The robber forced the messengers of the two express cars and the engine crew to carry all the gold and bulion stack ed -$ni the first car to the side of the track. Despite the appearance of ^three who had been awakened by the shooting, the robber ordered* the crew back to the train and com manded them to steam tway, leaving: the bullion beside the track. It was recovered later by a posse sent on a special train. When the train was leaving the robber called out: "Good bye and good luck, I hope to see you again."
