being in Nebraska. The stations closed
are Manley, Auoca, tilen Rock, Lorton,

nama Springs, Walton, and Paul, Neb.,
and liloomington, Kan. The retrench
ment means that the stations as tele
graph stationon are abandoned and
that the operators will now look for
other positions. An agent will be
maintained at east station to look after
what freight there is. Express compa
nies are figuring upon retrenching with
a vengaauce. Provided they can agree
upon the division of competitive busi
ness they will consolidate for joint
offOca at many common points west
or the Missouri river. One agent and
office force snd one set of wagons

i TRAIN IN tub sKKTlllNO FURNACE.
J St. J'aul and Duluth train No. 4,
j south bound with eighty passengers,
ran t into Hinckley at 2 o'clock bun-
' day afternoon and proceeded thence to
! Mission Creek, two miles further south
i anly to find that village in ashes. Con
'iuctoi Sullivan Issued immediate or-
ders to his crew to back into Hinckley,
but before the tram, running at twenty
miles an hour, could reach the doomed
city the place was in flames.
The train stopped at the depot one
; fatal minute, during which the wood-
work of the engine and the baggage
car eauirht fire. The train quickly re-
turned its back journey toward Duluth,
and the very motion of the cars fanned
lue fl'me t" fury t"ey soon en-
veloped the sleepers, passenger coaches
and the smoker.
While the train was stopping at
Hinckley nearly two hundred panic
stricken people of the place rushed up
on the platforms and into the car.
When they discovered the train on fire
they began to moan, shout, and pray,
whtch with the nwful roar ot the
Barnes, made the picture of Satan's
realm perfect
A mile out of Hinckley people on too
platform, rendered stark iuuatics by
the beat and their terror, began to jump
from the cars and plunge into reams,
into sand heaps, or into the smoke-en
compassed forests. A little farther oa
(hose in the can, stiflea with smoke,
began to sm .sli the windows of the
coaches in a frantic attempt to get

Driven back by the flames eating
their way up the sides of the freshly
varnished coaches, they stood in baffled
amazeraeut for a moment. Then dozens
of them in sheer desperation tumbled
themselves out through tne open spaces
to the ground below, some being 1
stanlly killed by the fall, and others
dngerlng In the horrible heat and
smoke until suffocated.
In spite oi .he fact that the train
was on Ore from engine to rear brake
the train crew bravely stood at their
posts and ran the train back six miles
to Skunk Lake, where the nassensrers
rushed out and into the water, home j
of them were in such a state of x-1
citement that they were unable to'
waik, and half a dozen were uncon-
scious. All of these latter were rolled j
in the mud and water and laid on their !
backs, just far enough out Into the
lake to kfcep the water from running
into their mouths. All around the
I forests were roaring like the furnace !
of an imaginary million horse power.
