WEATHER BUREAU MAY
GET WIRELESS STATION.
Local Forecaster Boyer Thinks Gov
eminent Will Place One Here.

Local Forecaster Boyer Thinks Gov
eminent viii Place One Here.
Savannah. will probably. get one of
the wireless telegraph stations, which
the United States government is go
ing to establish along the Atlantic
coast for reporting storms approach
ing from the sea.
On the recommendation of the in
ter-departmental board appointed by
President Roosevelt to consider the
question of wireless telegraphy in the
service of the government, the Wealth
er Bureau has been given control of
ocean meteorology through wireless
telegraphy, and, it is reported, will
establish at least fifty wireless sta
tions along the Pacific and Atlantic
coasts. These stations will be used
by vessels at sea in reporting storms.
In speaking yesterday of this inten-
ton of the Weather Bureau, Local
Weather FNorecaster H. B. Boyer
said:
ut is probable that one wireless
station will be placed at every
meteorological station on the Atlantic
coast, and if this is true, Savannah
will no doubt get one of these sta
tions. 1 have received no informa-
ton that Savannah would be one of
the wireless stations, but the indica-
tions are in that direction"
Mr.. Boyer thinks that the establish
ment of the proposed wireless stations
will greatly facilitate the Weather
Bureau in making thorough forecasts
of approaching storms and that the
service will thereby be improved.

WOULD NOT ALLOW
WELL TO BE BORED,
Contractor Brings Suit for PROFITS
and for Alleged Detention.


and for Alleged Detention.
Not being permitted to carry out a
contract to bore an artesian well, A.
E. Cory brought suit in the Superior
Court yesterday against Mrs. Margaret
M. Rotereau for the loss of $85, which
he alleges would have been the profit
to him, and for an additional $4O for
an alleged detention of his machinery
by the defendant.
In the petition it is set out that the
plaintiff contracte with the defendant
to bore a two and a half inch artesian
well for $165. Unless water was struck
sooner, the we'll was to be bored to a
depth of 1886 feet.
1t is charged that after the machin-
cry WAS moved to the defendants land
that she refused to allow the boring
to proceed II is claimed the expense
of boring the well wound have been
$50, leaving a net gain of $85 for the
plaintiff. Suit was first brought for
$165 in a magistrates, court, but was
Withdrawn, as the justice has no juris-
diction where so large a sum was in
volved.
Finding that the we'll could not be
bored, the plaintiff arranged for a
boat to carry the machinery to his
home and sent wagon to haul it to
the landing. 1t is alleged that the de-
PENDANT refused to let the machinery
go until storage charges were paid.
Another wagon and another boat were
ordered, entailing an expense of about
$40, for which suit is also brought. Mr..
Walter w. Sheppard is attorney for the
petitioner.

Capt. r. NJ. Hitch of the Oglethorpe
Light Infantry, will not go to Manas-
sas. The announcement was made by
Capt. Hitch last night to his company.
At first the members were strongly
in favor of not going at ALL but after
some persuasion by their commanding
officer. they reconsidered their deter
mination and unanimously agreed on
Capt. Clarence G. Anderson of the Re-
publican Blues. as their leader for the
maneuvers.
At the meeting of the Oglethorpes
held at the First Regiment Armory,
Capt. Hitch announced to the compa
ny, that on account of his duties in
connection with the court of inquiry,
it would be impossible for him to make
the trip. He stated that his attendance
on the court Of inquiry for the last
week or more had made it out of the
question for him to make any prepare
tons to go, and it was Furthermore
necessary for him to remain at home
while the stenographer was TRANSCRIPT
ing the testimony taken at the hearing,
in order that he may revise it as it is
written, and make such corrections as
may be found necessary.
Asked 10 BE Relieved.
Capt. Hitch made the request We'd

eral to be relieved of attendance on
the Manassas maneuvers, and it was
learned that the necessary order re-
lievng him from this duty was pass
ed in Atlanta yesterday, Col. Wooten,
president of the court of inquiry be-
ing likewise relieved for similar rea-
sons.
The members of the Oglethorpe Light
Infantry were a unit in their deter
mination at first not to go without
their captain. Col. Grayson was also
at the meeting and both Capt. Hitch
and Col. Grayson explained to the
men the reasons why they should CO.
treat it as a personal favor if not
a man stayed at home because of his
own unavoidable absence.
A number of speeches were made by
members of the company and it was
finally agreed that if Capt Hitch
requested them to go they would go.
as they were resolved to stand by him,
and do whatever he wished.
Capt. Hitch Was Cheered.
The matter had previously been dis
cussed with the commissioned Of
ficers of the company by Capt. Hitch,
and with their cooperation and back
ing. unanimous vote was secured in
favor of making the trip, as it was
considered it would be reflection on
Capt. Hitch and the discipline of the
company under present conditions to
do otherwise.
At the conclusion of the meeting
Capt. Hitch was given three cheers
and a tiger by the men.
Capt. Clarence G. Anderson will he
appointed to take the company to
Manassas in place of Capt. Hitch, and
the members of the company have
agreed to give him their hearty Coop
Grafton and support.
1t had been arranged that Capt.
Anderson should go as an adjutant on
the general staff. His place will be
taken by Capt. Thompson of SWANS

Horse Range Has Not Been So Closely
Picked for Years as This Season
and Some Raisers Are
Sold Out.

Belle Fourche, S. d., Dec. THE cat-
tie shipping season from this place has
about closed. About $500 carloads Of
stock have been sent out. which is a
few cars more han were shipped last
year. Cattlemen are not at all satis-
fed with the result of the years work,
Only a few have received good prices
and they had TO ship their very best,
stock. The range has been cleaned Up
closely by the larger shippers and it is
predicted that next yea will see the.
final shipments of several of the. large
cattle companies. The toe growers
that have made money this year are
the sheep and horse e Not for
years has the horse range been picked
up so closely. Buyers from the east
have been on the ground all the season
and the prices have been high and bid
ding keen as a result. 1t is said that
stock of horses is lower than for many
years. The horse men are now COM
mencing to breed new stock II in
crease their herds, but it will be several
years before the range is we'll stocked
again. There will be a great many
sheep held over until mex year on ac-
count of the excellent prospect for a
better price both for market sheep and

is pretty we'll filled with wool which is
being held for d better price.
