Error I'm the survey.

RAPID CITY. S. D.. Aug. 9.-(special.)-
The receiver of the land office here has re-
ceived a petition from n number Of land
owners in Butte county relative to the dis
covery made by a surveyor named Allen.
who found that the government corner stone
at a certain school house on Upper Beaver
creek, Butte county. Is not in the right
place. The irregularity Of the survey will
place the farming land in a greatly mixed
state. The entire district is thrown out OF
line as a consequence and the correct sur
vey will find a number of valuable farm
buildings on other peoples ground. The
petitioners ask that no further entries be
allowed in the township until the matter Is

DEADW00D, s. D., Aug. 9.-tSpecial.)-
For the last three days the Northern Hills
have been overrun with the teachers, county
superintendent and others from the east
ern part OF the state who came on the ex-
cursion to Hot Springs. To a large per cent
of the visitors 1t was the first trip west OF
the Missouri river and very few OF the
party had ever been in a mining country.
On Saturday afternoon ninety-three OF the
excursionists went down to Spearflsh on the
Burlington, returning the following morn
ing. On the way down into Spearhsh canyon
the heavily loaded train was tagged by q
14-year-old boy named Manley Beaver, who
resides at Terry. The train stopped and 1t
was learned that the excursionists had had
a very narrow escape.
A rancher in the valley had attempted to
cross a railroad bridge on horseback and
his horse had fallen through the ties and
could not be released with the help avail
able. The boy had seen the accident and
his first thought was the tagging OF the APP
preaching passenger train.
Made Much of the Boy.
When the facts were learned by the excur-
sionists the boy became the hero OF the day.
He was made to stand out q short distance
from the train and kodaks were snapped
from all quarters. When one OF the ladies
asked him to remove his hat in order to
get a better view of his face, he remarked:
Cant, pard; my hair amt combed."
President Brown of the State Teachers
association made a fitting speech for the oc-
%casion, much to the embarrassment Of the
boy. He was presented with a crisp $40
bill. which at first he refused to accept.
On the train was DR.. Daniels of Madi-
son, this state. He was taken with the
looks of the lad and, calling him aside,
offered him a course of education in the
Madison Normal free of all cost. The lad
wanted to think 1t over, and when the train
stopped at a station on the way home he
boarded 1t and told the doctor that he would
accept his proposal. Had the train not been
tagged there would undoubtedly have been
a terrible railroad accident. The lad will
start for Madison as soon as he can get
ready.
At Spearish the excursionists were met by
citizens in carriages and all were given a
ride over the city. Many of the teachers
are so we'll pleased with the Hills that they
have avowed their intention of coming out
here to reside permanently.
