BRAKEMAN DIES IN HOSPITAL
James Turner Fell From Moving Train at Gassman West of Here Sunday Night and Dies in the Hospital.
James Turner, a brakeman on the Great Northern, was so badly injured near Gasmann {sp} Sunday night that he had died at the county hospital Monday afternoon from the effects of his injuries. Turner was walking over the train and when near the end of a car, the air brake failed to work. The train was jerked and the man fell between the cars. He was rolled and pushed ahead of the car for quite a distance, his leg being terribly bruised and he was injured internally. He was picked up and brought to this city at once and placed in the hospital. Physicians worked over him for several hours doing their best for him. He was delirious most of the time before he died. He was a Mason and asked for his Brethern {sp} to be with him when he died. He was thirty-two years old and very popular with all who knew him. He leaves no family. His sister, Mrs. Downing and her husband arrived from Glasgow Monday and Tuesday night his remains were shipped to his old home at Woodville, Wis.

An exciting wolf chase took place at
Miller, S. D., a few days ago. Ed Miller reported that he had seen a wolf just south of town, and immediately J. A. Bushfield, J. J. Cummings and two or three others with greyhounds started for the chase. They had not gone far when the wolf was started. The dogs had no trouble in overtaking the animal, but the wolf was too much for the dogs on the fight, but after a running fight of eight miles was captured. The dogs were badly torn.
