RANGE RIDERS NERVE.
Travels Sixty Miles to Get Surgical
Aid For a Broken Shoulder

Pierre. S. D. July 22--TOm Nillican, one
of the range riders for the Dakota and
Minnesota Cattle company. came to this
city for surgical attendance. and in do
ing so showed himself possessed of no
ordinary courage and power OF endur-
ance.
While so miles out on the range he
was run over by a wild horse and had
his shoulder broken in the accident He
was far from assistance, but mounted
another horse and rode 20 miles before
he could secure any other method of
travel. At the first ranch he changed
from horseback to a jOlting lumber
wagon, and Travelled another 40 miles
in that conveyance before he could Sc
cure the assistance of a phsyician.
His case recalls the experience of
John Holland. q rancher. several years
ago. It was in the winter with the mer-
curry way below zero, and he was driv-
ing across the Missouri river on the ice.
The team broke through. and in getting
them out he was soaked with water,
and one of his legs was broken. With
great difficulty he managed to crawl
upon one of the wild bronchos. which
he had been driving. and rode seven
miles with his clothing frozen to him
before he reached the nearest ranch
and secured assistance.

South Dakota Surgeon Writes of His
Regiments Sorry Plight

Sioux Falls. s. D., July 20.-From a
letter received here from Manila it is
learned that forty-seven members of
company B, South Dakota regiment,
signed the Endorsement of Governor
Lees demand OF President Mckinley
for the return of the regiment. also
twenty members of company I and 9TH
ers in proportion. The report on the
condition of the regiment June / shows
it to be in a deplorable state. Surgeon
Ware in a letter to Senator Pettigrew,
say that he has asked for his return
home to be mustered out and adds:
The boys all want to come home ex-
cepting six who wish to enlist in the
regular army and fifteen who wish to
be mustered out here for the purpose
OF prospecting or going into business.
Our regiment is practically busted. For
three months the boys have had hard
field service and are physically worn
out We have only about 400 able for
duty. There are over 400 sick in quar-
ters and hospitals
The Nebraska regiment and the
South Dakota regiment have had all the
hardest work They have nobly done all
that has been asked Of them.
For the past two months neither Of
our surgeons has been allowed to go to
town to look after his own health. A
week ago our men sick in quarters in
Manila were examined by a regular sur
geOn and over $50 ordered to the front

streets of Manila before they reached
the station and had to be taken to the
hospital. Eighty of the men were uIi-
able to walk from the end of the rail-
road to this point and were brought
here on bull carts. Nearly all of these
men are now in hospitals or are sick
in quarters here. Captain Cox is in the
Corregedio hospital sick with bowel
trouble. DR.. Thompson is sick with
fever Many of the men have attempted
to apply for their return home and dis
charge through military channels, but
Colonel Frost has held them up. Today
