In bestowing upon her tb position the Northwestern Railroa has added another testimonial to i appreciation of her deed, by whic many lives and much property wei saved from destruction. On the night of July 6,1881, the D< Monies River, swollen with heavy aD continous rains, overflowed its bant and 8wept downward in resistless to rents. Of the twenty-one bridges i the valley between the townB or ?soor and Moingona, on the main line of tt Northwestern, eleven were smasbe into kindliqg wood, and to add 1 the perils of the situation a violent ten pestofwind and rain, the worst thi had been known in years, was raging In the warm shelter of her hon Kate Shelley, then a girl of sixteei listened to the howling tempest an talked anxiously with her mothe Her father, a section foreman on tb Northwestern, was out in the stori at his post of duty. He did not retru at his usual time, and their fe^rs f< him grew into a panic of apprehen&ioi Finaly the girl in denfiance of h< mothers will, determined to brave it elements and go in search of him. She hardly had wrapped herself u preparatory to going out, when a ominous sound broke on their ears < bove the wailing of the wind. Thei was a crash, a hiss of escaping steal and the thunder of a heavy weigt falling a great distance to the groom Peering through the darkness, the saw that a helper engine, sentout froi Boone to be of service in the storn had crashed through the lofty treeti and lay in the deep gulch beneath, mass of ruins. Seizinga lighted lantern the girl spe out to the scene of disaster. Two < the engine '..crew were dead. Tw others lay near the traok desperate! burt. She eased them all she coul< then turned her face in the direction < Moiogona, four miles west of Boom A. passenger train was due from thi point within an hour. She must sto that train. Making her way through the rugge gulch, and, with the aid of the undei brush and weeds climbing up it further side, she reached the mai track above and set out on her perlioi lourney. Not far along the way h< heart almost failed her. She had t oross a trestle half a mile long over tfc raging river mat ooomea noi more ma twenty feet beneath ber. To make matter* worse, the light i ber lantern was blown out, and sb shuddered iu consciousness that on false step would plunge ber into tb boiling flood. But she kept on, craw Ing and creeping over the trestle o bands and knees, in utter darkness ej sept when occasional flashes of llgh aing threw a weird illumination acra the stormy sky. Having safely passed the trestle, tb girl ran at top speed to the statioi where, after asping out a warnin bo the station master, she fell swoonin at bis feet. 8he wits just in timi Tho want, hminri train with 2T>0 n? sengers on board was even then slov log op at tbe station. A special train was got ready to g to tbe sceoe of the wreck. By th time the brave girl had beeo revive< and, boarding the train, she conducte the crew by tbe one safe path acrof the golch to the relief and rescue of th two injored trainmen. The Legislators of Iowa appropr ated $5,000, which it gave to Mif Shelley as a reward for her heroisn With this money she bought th Farm on which she now lives. On th night of the resoue the grateful pa ?engers made op a purse of many do iars, and not long afterwards the Nortl western Railway gave her a gold medi and a life pasB. Recently the N^rthwestern Railway in opening its nev/ Kate Shelley Bridt across the Des Moines Rvier gorgi shifted its track out of sight of her co tage, and when Miss Shelley could c longer see the trains speeding by hi home she applied for the position < station agent, which the railroad ofl cials gladly bestowed upon her. ] virtually ia a life position. ?
