OACOMA MAN CONFIDENT
Evidence Accumulating Right Along
That the Milwaukee Road
Will Extend.

A gentleman from Oacoma in the
city Friday said that it was gen.
orally accepted fact in his town that
the Milwaukee road will be throwing
dirt on the west side Of the Missouri
river before Christmas. He said a
hundred cords Of rock had been piled
up and more is arriving every day
and is being placed at convenient
points along the Milwaukee road.
This rock is being placed on the
Chamberlain side as well as the
Oacoma side of the river. The gen
tleman said that there could be no
use for such masses Of stone except
for bridge work, as the pontoon is
already taking care of the local travel
at less than one per cent of the cost
that would be necessary to construct
a permanent bridge such as this stone
would seem to imply.
A number Of deeds have recently
been filed in the register of deeds
Office at Oacoma showing the transfer
Of property in and about Oacoma and
at points to the west as far as the
western line Of Lyman county, which
are deeds for lands in a general line
and are at distance of ten to twelve
miles apart. Most all of these deeds
run to the Milwaukee Land Co. The
report comes that similar deeds are
being filed in the Black Hills country,
showing that the road will continue
not only into but through the Hills.
This railroad extension Of the Mil
waukee will connect Mitchell with a
direct line to the Hills country and
will supply the means Of travel
that has long been wanted. Nothing
better could be done for the Hills
people with the capital located at
Mitchell, and they have been given
more solid evidence of the roads be-
ing built than anything that has been
presented to them in years. The
Hills people feel confident that the
Milwaukee will reach that. part of

PLEASING SOCIAL EVENT
Mrs. d. W. Burright Very Happily
Entertained Large Number
of Lady Friends.

At five O'Clock tea Thursday
afternoon Mrs. D. W. Burright en-
tertained a large number of lady
friends in most delightful manner,
in which she was assisted by Mrs. O.
L. Branson, Mrs. M. II. Gosche, Mrs.
Fred Wedehase and Miss Goody-
koontz. The door was attended by
Mistress Genevieve Branson.
A novel method was employed for
an amusement, and one that provok-
ed great deal Of merriment. When
the ladies arrived and removed their
wraps a small tag was pinned to the
back of their waists on which was
the name Of some prominent and we'll
known individual. After going into
the parlor the rest Of the guests made
some remarks concerning the pecu1i-
arity OF the individual, whose name
was on the tag, and the lady who
bore the tag set her wits to guessing
to discover the name of the person
she represented.
Two large tables were spread and
the ladies found their places at them
by the name being placed at the
plates that was on their back. The
tables were prettily decorated with
pink chrysanthemums, and the
menu that was spread by the hostess
was an attractive one.
The guests were favored with a
song by Miss Goodykoontz, being ac-
companied by Mr.. J. N. Grow, and
it was very much appreciated.
The affair was a very pleasant one
and Mrs. Burright made an entertain
ing hostess.

ANOTHER HORSE STOLEN
Evidently an Organized Gang is
Working a Profitable Busi-
ness in This City.

Another horse and buggy was
stolen in this city Sunday evening.
Nicholas Hunt, who lives a few
miles southeast of town is the loser
this time. Sunday evening he drove
into the city and hitched Ills horse
and buggy at the corner Of Main and
First streets. He was down that
way about s O'Clock and were there
then. He returned an hour later,
and the horse and buggy were gone.
This is the third rig that has been
stolen from that corner within the
past few months. The thieves have
succeeded every time in getting away,
although strong efforts were made by
the officers Of the law to apprehend
them. Sheriff Swindler took charge
Of the case as soon as be was informed
of the robbery and used the tele-
graph and telephone to all parts in
the surrounding country. Postal
cards were sent out Monday morning
giving an accurate description Of the
outfit.
The fact that this is the third
time that horses have been stolen
at the same place makes it appear
that there is an organized body Of
men who are following up the busi-
ness with profit. 1t looks reason
able that they conceal the animals
for short time and then make their
way out of the country. 1t is hoped
that the last thief will be appre-
hended and see if one capture won t
put stop to the business.

Local Postoffice Cramped for Room

(FrOm Fridays Daily.)

FrOm Fridays Daily)
A few weeks ago Postmaster Bras
jndited letter to the postal de-
partment at Washington and set
forth the condition of the postotfice
here in reference to the quarters that
it occupied, and suggested that some
thing be done to relieve the condi-
tions.
In response to the letter Charles
M. Waters, connected with this
branch Of the postal department,
arrived in the city late yesterday
afternoon and after looking over the
situation and consulting with Mr.
Bras he agreed that Mitchell needed
and was entitled to much better
quarters than it now had for post
office building. Mr.. Waters at once
took action by displaying in the
lobby Of the postoffice a notice to
the effect that he would entertain
bids for furnishing a building under
lease for period of five or ten years,
which is to be equipped with all the
modern appliances for handling the
business of the office and to provide
vaults, racks, and to connect the
building with the city sewer. In
fact the building to be leased must
be especially fitted for the postal
service
Today Mr.. Waters has been in con-
sultation with several gentlemen who
would be willing to invest the
necessary sum Of money to equip a
building for the governments use.
Mr.. Waters will receive bids on the
proposition until Tuesday, Oct. 81,
at which time he will very likely
enter into some arrangement where
by new location for the postof1ice
will be determined. 1t is possible
that a new building will be erected for
the use Of the postoffice business of
this city. and we are quite sure the
general public will agree that some
thing of this kind is needed. Prac-
tically all Of the old furniture and
fixtures that have been used here for
years will be discarded and something
new and up-to-date will be placed in
position.
The fixtures that are now in the
postoffice are owned by Postmaster
Bras, and in case they are changed
he. will be the loser, but he says he is
willing to make the sacrifice for the
new building and improved facilities.

efforts were useless, for there was not
the least chance of reaching Michell's
goal Michel changed her tactics
and went to bucking Yankton's line
with surprising success. Clear across
the field was Yankton forced resist
ing every inch of the way with all
the force at her command, but the
Mitchell blood was up and the boys
moved the players down before them
or went over the massed bunch for
steady gains. The second half was
played with more snap and vigor and
the boys got into something Of their
old time form and showed what they
could do when they went at it. At
the end of the game the score stood
46 to in favor Of Mitchell.
VIM. M. Herbert was the the ref
cree for Mitchell and A. j. Allen, the
Yankton captain, offic1ated for his
own men. Douthit and Allen were
time keepers. Coach Griffith ac-
companied his team from Yankton
and watched their play from close
quarters, while Jack Levings, who
has been coaching Mitchell for the
past week or ten days took notes on
the game that Mitchell put up.
On Thursday or Friday evening the
University eleven will leave for trip
to North Dakota, playing with Fargo
Saturday and Grand Forks Monday.
These will be two games that will
test the mettle of the team to the
full and if the boys succeed in hold
ing their own while away they will
be satisfied, but they are going to
make superhuman efforts to bring
home both games. No line has been
secured on either of the north state
teami so far this season, and it is not
known if they are as strong this year
as last. Last Thanksgiving day
Mitchell defeated Grand Forks by a
score Of q to 0.

THE SCORE GREW LARGE
The Game Between Yankton and
Mitchell Monday Was Not a
Particularly Swift One.

There was pretty good crowd of
foot ball enthusiasts out to A thletic
Park Monday afternoon to see the
game between Mitchell and Yankton
colleges. The light weight of the
Yankton boys foretold defeat that
was encompassed. Game was called at
a little after four o'clock with the
side lines crowded with people eager
to watch the plays as they were made
and to cheer the gridiron artists in
their work. Taken all in all it was
tame game all through, although
Mitchell di d squirt toward the close of
the second half. The greater share
of the time the bali was in Mitchells
possession, and we do not recall that
the ball was lost to Yankton at any
time on downs. A the outset Yank-
toms line stood the feeble efforts Of
Mitchell, for the home team did not
seem to go into it with the same
vigor that has been noticeable before.
There was timidity on both sides
that did not seem to have much place
in football. In the first half Mitchell
played for end runs most Of the time
for her gains, and seldom were the
runners headed off before good gains
were made. At the end of the first
half the score stood Mitchell "a,
Yankon 0.
In the second half Yankton tried
to break the cipher, but their

1t could not be understood why the
fellow turned the horse loose if it
was his intention to steal the out
lit. 1t has been suggested that some
party was in town from, that part of
the county and wanted to ride home,
so he took the horse and wagon with
out the leave of the owner. 1t will
doubtless go hard with the party if
any trace Of him can be found and
he be placed under arrest. So
much Of this has been going on of
late that an example ought to be
made Of one of the perpetrators.

Found in a COrnfield.

The horse and buggy which was
stolen from the corner of Main and
First streets Sunday night was re-
covered Monday afternoon in a corn
field on Carl Anderson's farm, 9
miles southwest of this city. It was
found by Ernest Wilson, relative Of
Mr.. Hunt, who owned the outfit.
Wilson started off on a search for the
horse and buggy and found it wander
ing in a cornfeld. The lines were
tied to the dashboard of the wagon
and the horse had evidently been
there all day. The outfit was brought
to the city during the night and
turned over to the sheriff.
