Last Friday night one of J. J. Ska
hens horses got down in the stall and
got it's head through an opening in the
stall and was fastened down to the
floor of the barn in this manner until
Mr.; Skahen went to the barn in the
morning to look after the horses. The
animal was badly bruised and ex-
hausted from it's attempts to get on its
feet, though it was not seriously hurt
A rigging had to- be placed about the
animal which was hoisted with pullevs
from the floor. >.> - ~. .<s:>e
Last Monday morning while driving
up depot street Louis Pierson and son
had all the exciting experience of a
runaway. The team felt good and
fresh and started to run and they cot a
start before Mr.. 'Pierson realized what
they intended to do and unable to hold
them. Louis jumped and landed on his
back in the road. His son followed
suit and neither was hurt, with the
exception of sustaining a few bruises.
The team ran down to Marks yards
where they were stopped.
Last Monday night while Willie
Walker was driving home from the
store the horse started to run away
after it was short distance from the
store and it went down First street at a
rapid gait. The hind runners struck a,
telephone pole and several milk cans
were thrown out, but the lad wrapped
the reins about his hands and held on
bravely. The horse ran down beyond
Chas. Rines' residence barely missing
several trees and the young and fear
less driver ran the horse into fence.
There was no damage of any conse-
quence. p, =" :HG'& +,
The annual statement Of the Equit-
able Life Assurance Society of the u.
s. fors'lso shows a remarkable years
growth and business. From a financial
standpoint the company leads them all.
They are to-day maturing their con
tracts at more profit to policy holders
than any other company in the world.
and this will be pleasing to the many
Princeton people who are already
policy holders. Mr.. Guy Ewing, the
local representative, and Mr.. r.. G. I'm
derwood, the district manager, are dis
tributing very handsome calendars
which show the different American
flags to date. They both claim Prince
ton as an Equitable town and their
business for last year shows that our
people appreciate a good company and
good contract. g

+. A. Craft was in town again Tues
day. He had just closed deal
!. through /. "A. Weeks OF the German
American Land company for another
100 acres adjoining his ranch south Of
Kimball. This gives him $50 acres
in a body, a square section OF $40 and.
32O right next to it-and the way:
Frank keeps spending money on the
place is a guarantee that he is going
to be the proud possesser of one Of the
/ finest farms and ranches in all of
Brule counry and that is saying a
great deal. Frank has 100 head Of
stock on the place, of which nice
bunch Of milch COWS constitutes
part. These cows bring in something
like $3.50 worth of cream net every
yearnot bad item in itself. The
owner Of this splendid tract Of land is
fortunate in having the right kind of
man or lnen to look after it the Greg
son brothers. They attend strictly to
business and are making money for
themselves as well as for Mr.. Craft.
It is thus that Brule county lands
are passing by degrees into the hands
of men who not only have the means
to deyelope the resources Of the coun-
try, but the brains to doit right.

A Significant Statemen From Ros-
we'll Miller
Sioux City Tribune: Within two
years our trains will be running into
Seattle over our own rails
This remark was made Sc yeral times
in the past few weeks by Roswell Mill
ler, chairman of the board of directors
of the Milwaukee & St. Paul railro adj.
1t has been reported to The Tribune
upon good authority.
While it would seem to be impos-
sible to construct a transcontinental
line over two mountain ranges in two
years, the remark of the chairman Of
the board is interesting. Eighteen
months ago the Milwaukee & ST.
Paul management allowed the impress
sion to become general that an ex-
tention to tire coast would be built
and through this a favorable traffic
contract was made with the Union
Pacific railroad fora term Of three.
years. Those who know Mr.. Miller's
surprisingly frank comment will
wonder whether it was made with
sincerity, and ifnot, what is'the new
scheme Of the Rockefeller road.
For publication, Milwaukee s.. st.
Paul officials have given little en-
couragement to the recent reports in
New York city that the road would
build a line to the coast. Mr.. Miller
did not talk publicly.
The Milwaukee s. ST. Paul railroad
could use one or both OF two routes
| for a coast line, one from Evarts, S..
| D., to Seattle, and the other from
| Chamberlain to San Francisco. The
project of the Western Pacific
from Salt Lake City to San francisco
| has been attributed by some to the
Milwaukee s. St. Paul, and if this is
fright, the Western Pacific would be
part of line from Chamberlain.
The Milwaukee s ST. Paul officials
denied having any interest in the
Western Pacific. However, this is
mot to be given much consideration,
| s = ID ls = III,
4 for railroad officials are expected to
deny everything. The Chicago =
INorthwester railroad denied author
ship Of thd Verdigree Bonesteel line
Hast year almost until the time table
was published. 1t was a violation Of
the presidents agreement to. keep out
Of each Others territory, such as
would be the construction Of the
Western Pacific, and these; violations
are concealed until consummated.
1t is stated positively By excellent
lauthority that there is no question
that the long-talked Of link from
Platte to Orient, S. d., will be built
next year. This will give direct
lline from Chicago through Sioux City
Ito Eyarts and make it much more
likely that the coast business would.
pass through here. 81

Sheep From the Ranges

James Brown Of Chamberlain. who
is interested with his brother III a
sheep ranch $50 miles west of Cham
berlain, shipped ], 800 sheep on d stock
special Tuesday. The bunch consist
ed Of lambs and ewes OF all ages.
They have about 5000 left to winter.
In crossing the sheep on the pom
loon bridge at Chamb berlain, a young
lamb weighing about forty pounds
got crowded off the west approach and
had to swim tor it. The little fellow
landed about a mile down the current
on this side and this was the last
seen Of him for some time. Finally
he turned up all by his lonesome at
the stockyards just in time to get
loaded with his companions when
he deserved better fate after his
plucky swim for life.
On5the following morning, Miss
Jennie Brown, asister Of the brothers,
started for her old home in Scotland
across the. sea, after a residence of
five years at the ranch. Miss Brown
had become completely enamored Of
life on the ranch and no ordinary in
ducement could prevail upon her to
live anywhere else. What makes it
all the more strange to most people is
that she has passed many years Of her
life ina city. This was her first ex-
perience in ranch life. She expects
to return next year. There is some-l
thing about the life on the ranch Pc
.culiarly facinating 1t has a charm
OF its own, which once enjoyed is
never forgotten.

KIMBALI. SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 80, 1903
The HurOnite in 1902

III The HurOnite was satisfied in its
own mind that the capital could be
removed to Mitchell, or Aberdeen, or
Watertown-or to some other we'll
located spot-but couldn't be placed
at Huron-w would it help to do it?--
lKIMBALL GRAPHIC.
The editor Of the GRAPHIC has ask
ed straight hypothetical question,
and while we are not on the witness
stand we believe the question was
put in good faith, and we will answer
it, Notwithstanding that for years we
have taken the position that the capi-
tai ought to be removed from its
present location. The Huronte is in
favor Of removal, and Ii in fair con.
test with other towns Hulon cannot
win, it will assist in uniting removal
forces upon some town more favorable
located than Pierre. 1t is our opinion
that Huron is the right place for the
seat of the state government; Mitchell
has the next claim; that between
other towns the people would not gain
much by removing from Pierre. Now
that the Huronite has answered the
GRAPHIC, permit the Huronite to ask
if the GRAPHIC will lend its influence
to secure the election of legislative
delegation from Brule county pledged
to removal and not pledged to go
down with Mitchell or any other
aspirant for capital honors? The year
1908 will either see the capital Ques-
tion resubmitted, or the agitation in
that direction cease. [Huronite.

WILL NOT AFFECT PACKERS.
The New British Order Prohibiting the lm-

Not Hurt Pork Products.

Chicago, July 6.--Packers here will
not be affected by the new order is
sued by the board Of agriculture In
Great Britain prohibiting the impor-
tation Of American hogs after August
!. 1t has been many years since
hogs were shipped from this market
to England, because of the loss In
the trip across the water by sickness
and accident. The department Of
agriculture In Washington believes
that the new order relates only to
live hogs and not to pork products.
1--WE have not shipped hogs to En-
gland for many years." said Nelson
Morris Saturday. Hogs are especi-
ally subject to seaslckness. l sup
pose that the order has been issued
because some hogs with cholera or
other contagious diseases have been
shipped, but that is simply a guess.
The order will have no effect what
ever on the Chicago market or Chi

IMMENSE LOSS BY FLOOD.
The Property Destroyed and Damaged n
Armonrdale Estimated by Canvass
to he O0,B2B,OOO.

I g.. .
Kansas City, Kan, July John w.
Radford, state grain inspector Of Kan
sas, has completed q report OF exist
ing conditions In Armourdale as o re-
suit Of the recent food, In which he
estimates that the property loss there
Is $9,526,0o0. This report Is the result
Of the gratuitous effort Of Mr.. Radford,
who employed 16 men last week to
canvass every street in Armourdale
and make detailed report on the con-
dition Of every house and Industrial or
tablishment The report, shows that
before the food there were 3,0S2 houses
In the Sixth ward, that section known
as Armourdale. OF this number 64S
houses are entirely missing and 30
have been found In other parts Of the
city moved from their former loca-
tions. Two thousand one hundred and
ninety-fve houses are still on or near
their original sites. Only 1885, or
about one-third of the houses which
were in Armourdale before the food,
are in fair condition. The rest are
n
either of their foundations, badly
damaged, partially or totally wrecked
or missing entirely. Mr.. Radford's re-
port shows that First street in Ar
mourdale was entirely wiped of the
map. OF the 80 houses that formerly
stood in this street. not one can be
found Before the food there were 81
houses on Second street in Armour
dale. Thirty Of this number are either
badly damaged or have collapsed en-
tirely. The parts Of Armourdale
snown as Cypress, Weed City and
Little Oklahoma contained about 22b
houses. All Of these are gone and
scarcely a trace Of these settlements
'emain.
