SHOOTS QUICK AND STRAIGHT
Two Filipinos Killed in One shot
by q South Dnkotan.

w. w. Spain, a member of the First
South Dakota Volunteer Regiment, in an
interesting letter from Manila to Yankton
friends, tells of a thrilling episode expert
cnced by II of the regiment as follows:
One Of the men in Company by the
name of Schmidt was OH guard on outpost
No. I. When lie was about half way
across his beat a native stepped out and
said '.Bucnos NOchcs" good EVENING" The
guard returned the salute and, seeing the
native had no firearms, started to walk his
beat. lie had no more than started when lie
heard a move behind him and just turned
his head in time to save his neck, but not
quick enough to escape the dreaded ma
Ghetto which the natives all carry. The ma
tive aimed at his neck, but as Schmidt
turned his head the knife struck him just
below the right eye. Schmidt whirlcd and
shot as soon as he could get the rifle to his
shoulder and instead Of hitting II native
he got two in II shot. Seeing another
native down the path lie loaded his rifle,
but dare not shoot, as the guard on the
next beat was directly in line. As soon as
the native turned out Of the path and into
the bushes he let drive at him, hut missed.
Schmidt was by this time getting weak
from the loss of blood. A corporal and a
couple of guards carried him into camp and
his wound is not serious. Gen. Hale went
to the hospital and complimentcd Smith on
his presence of mind and good aim.

Stood the Cold We'll.

Reports from over the range country
show that range losses for the past winter
have been as light as for any past season.
Notwithstanding the severe weather for the
first half of February. This term of cold
weather came upon the stock after an open
January, Which placed them in condition
to stand a long siege, and broughtlittle
with it. A few old COWS and thin calves
succumbed, but no greater loss occurred
than can be expected any winter among
range stock. The percentage of loss can-
not be stated to a certainty until after the
annual roundup, but it will be less than 1
per cent, unless far more severe weather
than usual is encountered in March.

derful proportions in a few years. A
combination Of about all the manufac-

ing thirty-eight separate concerns with

plate produced in the United States
now reaches 100000 boxes a year, the
weight of each box being 100 pounds.
Such rapid growth is remarkable. 1t
shows the adaptability Of American
workmen to new processes. Tin plate
making was conferred lin Wales when

rapidly being centcred in this country.
Capitalists and workmen alike have

prefers to arm his own living. and
