Terrific Flood at Hot Springs South

Terrific Flood at Hot Springs South
Dakota.
Hot Springs, S. D., Aug. IL. - This
city has been visited by a terrific flood.
A solid bank of water, fully fifteen
feet deep, came rushing down the
canyon, sweeping everything before it.
Several cottages in the suburbs of
sColdbrook We're swept away with all
personal and household effects, the
families barely escaping with their
lives. The Burlington railway tracks
were washed away to within a mile Of
the city. The Elkhorn railway had
several bridges washed out and can
only bring trains within three miles
OF the city. They will have things re-
paired In couple of days. The IA
NOUS plunge bath was badly wrecked,
both ends being washed out and the
pool filled with debris. 1t will take
several days to repair it. S...t.:.,.
" w. G. Morehouse, general freight
agent OF the Elkhorn, and a party Of
friends were sleeping in his private
car on switch track near the creek,
The car came near being washed
away, the occupants escaping in their
night clothes. Telegraph wires were
temporarily connected so as to COM
municate with partial satisfaction. A
party OF campers were washed down
stream. All escaped but the sixteen
year-old son of Prof. Williams, teach
er at Pine Ridge agency. The body of
the boy was found four miles below
the city and buried from the Metho-
dist college chapel. The whole camp
ing outfit, clothing, money, tents,
horses and wagons were washed down
the stream and lost. The Buffalo
Gap Lumber company yards were
mostly washed away, inflicting loss
OF about $1,000: The entire damage
will run far into the thousands. The
eldest residents never witnessed such
a flood, though it lasted but little over
an hour.

vIGILANTEs IN MINNEsOTA
They Hold Up and Shoot Farmers ON
-.- the Highway

-sE (. the Highway.
Shakopee, Mimi, Aug. Z. - Charles
Kopp and son of this city had an adj
venture that neither will wish to re-
peat. The two started before daylight
for Minneapolis with a load of chick
ems, and in Bloomington township
were hailed bv members of a vigilance
committee, which has been organized
to protect farmers from the depre-
dations Of chicken thieves and calf
srealers. The vigilantes We're armed
with shotguns, and their fierce looks
and words alarmed the Kopps, and
when they were ordered to halt they
attempted to dash by, having every
reason to believe their assailants were
robbers. The vigilants gave chase and
fired several shots, when the koDps
drove into farm yard for protection.
The vigilants soon came up, and eX-
plantations followed, but these could
not repair the injury done by the reck-
less shooting. The son John has some
seven shots in his ankle, and one Of
the horses is so badly riddled that it
will probably die. The Kopps We're
carrying lighted lantern, and treated
the men, when accosted, in perfectly
open way, and there was slight excuse
for so grave mistake. Warrants will
be issued for the arrest of those who
did the shooting. All parties are we'll
known and respected

The Action of New Collector Will
cults of Duluth Brings a Protest.
Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 7. - The Booth
Packing company has filed a protest
against the collection of duties on fish
brought by it from Canadian waters
The Dingley bill provides for duty Of
IL cent a pound on fresh fish i'm
ported, except on fish caught by Amer
lean citizens. The Booth company
brings great amount of fish from
Port Arthur, and Collector Wilcutts is
now charging duties on it, The Booth
company claims that it is an American
corporation, and that it is caring for
and causing to be caught the fish that
are being brought from Canada. 1t
does not deny that Canadians are do
ing the fishing for the company, but it
claims that the nets, etc. all belong to
the cOmpany,and that it hires the men.
The collector takes the position that
the fishermen are all Canadians, and
that the company buys the fish by the
Pound. The department will have to
settle the matter.

GRASS CULTIVATION.
Number of Experiments at the In
dian Lake Farm,

"A Number of Experiments at the In
dian Lake Farm.
Island Lake, Mimi, Aug. GA great
NUMBER OF important experiments in
grass cultivation are being conducted
on the state experimental farm here.
IheSe Investigations are for the pur-
pose OF finding out the various grasses
pest suited for the climate and soil Of
southwestern Minnesota. Supt. O. g.
Gregg says:
Many men have considered that it
was impossible to grow clover success
fully in Lyon county. We have found
that it can be grown with great sue
cess. II given proper care and cultiva-
ton. One of the recent methods of
growing clover is to SOW it with the
drill. Prof. Sheppard of Fargo has eX-
perlmented in this line. His yield this
year was magnificent. He mixes grass
seed, one part of timothy and clover,
with four parts of salt. to give it bulk
He shuts his grain drill as close as
possible, and crosses the seeding al
ready done with wheat and oats. BY
this method he puts his grass seed fair
~ deep in the ground, and it gets a
good stand. The Asike is the clover
for low lands. 1t will thrive on ground
that is good for red top. 1t is not suit
able for high lands. The Mammoth
clover is Il heavier grower and bids
fair to surpass the red clover in West
ern Minnesota. Red clover is biennial.
1t drops seed the second year of it's
growth. If left on the ground and not
carried away it will reseed itself. We
haVe land here that has reseeded itself
for ten years. For sowing on uplands
l advise farmers to use the Mammoth
and red clover. Asike and timothy are
the finest forage grasses"

Cool Weather Reuuired.

Wahpeton, N. D., Aug. 5.-The wheat
crop is very uneven. Light. sandy
soils are favored, but many fields on
heavy lands will not be cut. Early
frost. drouth and excessive rainfalls
have thinned the stand generally. An
average Of Is bushels for Richland
county is expected. Harvest labor is
plenty, but should hot weather come
during this filing week, more help will
be needed. Grain is crinkling, and
cool weather is absolutely required.

charge Of numbering Edward Davis.
will probably plead guilty to lesser
charge and take his chances with q
jury here. Zuelke says the report that
the sheriff of Polk county had cap
tured him first is false; that no one
ever saw him or approached him in
any way until he was arrested by Zero
in Montana. Farmers hereabouts are
inclined. to favor him, and the opinion
is general that if tried here he will re-
ceive light sentence.

From waterbu. to Mandan.

Mandan, N. D., Aug. 11.-Mrs. Ed
WIN Hart, wife Of a prominent Water
nury, Conn, man, is here for divorce.
Mrs. Hart, who is but a trifle over
twenty years of age and extremely
pretty, declares that her husband has
tried to entrap her in serious complica-
lions. For a husband to write notes
asking the wife with whom he is liv-
ing to meet him in the evening in the
dark, or secluded street corners, is suf-
nclently novel to demand more than
passing interest from a North Dakota
court. She alleges his jealousy drove
him to many foolish acts.
