Yes, an idiot" he repeated, sol | emnly. Nobody but an idiot would | ride out to see her today even if he did know that she was alone. after she had told him she did not want hin to come again"
 She" was Eunice Whitworth. ant she lived with her father and mother on a farm eight miles from the Soutf Dakota village of Elburn. As he upbraided himself his horse had without his notice taken a turr to the left of the road and was crop ping the long grass, Drowned by a lone season of drouth and hot suns. Wher he noticed this he Jerked the horse: head back to the road and then look ed about him.
 "Whew!" he whistled. A thick bank of smoke was spread over the horizon ahead of him. and its smell came faintly down the breeze which was waxing into something stronger thar a breeze. The sun shone red as copper through the thickness.
 "A prairie fire" he exclaimed, as he touched the spur to his horse. And il isn't far of, either"
 His horse sped along rapidly under repeated applications of the spur. Has tily hitching his horse on reaching the house. he ran up the walk and knocked at the front door. A sweet-faced girl In charming work day costume came and when she saw who 1t was her face clouded.

 Maybe but I am not going to risk It. When that fire gets into the slough it'll jump for this place like mad, and you must come with me Your horses have taken fright long ago. and are too far away to be caught" The girl could see them galloping madly away, and knew that he spoke the truth
 Get whatever you want to take along. and come" he commanded.
 Fairhairn swore and then stepped to the corner of the house and took a look. Great tongues of flame were leaping toward the house hardly more than mile away. The fire was com ing with amazing speed lcking up the long, dry prairie grass eagerly Half mile from the house was the slough he had spoken of, a dry lake bed where the tall grass of several sea sons lay matted and dry.

The selection of clerks and inspectors for each precinct, which was accom- pished Saturday night by the County Democratic Executive Committee, served to reveal a condition in the political situation that was unknown generally throughout the county. A resolution was passed at the meeting making the Republicans recognizable in case there were any qualified in the precinct A polling of the lists showed that in many of the county precincts there was not qualified Republican, and this made compulsory the choice of Demo- crats Republicans are thick in the city but in the rural districts they are very scarce.

Nearly Killed Nerro.

Chief Shad came near killing a negro as an act of self-defense yesterday. The name of the black was Tom DuBose. and he is a recent importation of the undesirable class. Yesterday he started to swing to a moving train in plain sight of the police chief AS this Is against the law in this city, the chief very promptly nabbed the black. The latter was averse to going to jail and one of his hands dropped into his pocket. Chief Schad seeing the move, was ready for whatever he intended to do. AS the black drew forth his hand, he held a small derringer pistol and was trying evidently to get chance to use 1t when the chief drew his own gun and covered the black. Then the chief, In taking the gun from DuBose, had the misfortune to rip open his own hand and today carries that mem Der around in a sling.
 This morning the chief charged Du- Bose with boarding a moving train and also with carrying concealed weapons. The two charges were proven and fines of s102 were imposed.
