MYSTERI0USLY INJURED
Young Ben Weeks. Living II Miles
Northwest. Was Hurt on the
Head Thursday Last.

Information was brought to this
city for the first time Monday
that young Ben Weeks, living twelve
miles northwest OF Mitchell was in
jured on the head Thursday OF last
week. How the accident. happened
no one seems to know. eve the two
men who live with Mr.. Weeks are at
a loss to account for the injury. they
did not give any information to the
nelghbors until Sunday. All that
is known OF the matter is that Mr..
Weeks had been hauling fodder DUR
ing the day ana that he returned
nome in the evening, put up bis
horses and performed his usual
chores around the house and barn.
During the evening he became some
what rambling in his talk and the
men set about to find the cause.
They discovered on his head an in.
jury that WAS the cause of the
trouble. The wound had the appear
ance OF being caused by being struck
with a board, or it might have been
caused by his falling from his wagon.
MI. Weeks did not know that he was
hurt, or at least he said nothing OF
it to the men, in fact declared he
was not hurt. Since Saturday he
has been unconscious the greater
shain of the time and rambled i'm his
talk a great deal. DR.. Bobb was
called out there Monday and from
the examination he made at that
time he stated the skull appeared tc

BOYS AND THEIR RIFLES
Their Shooting Out Windows in a
school House Gets Them in
Trouble.

Three town lads, whose ages are
below twelve years, wandered out
into the country Saturday afternoon,
and each was provided with an air
gun or small rifle. That they were
after a lark or sport of some kind
was evident. They found game IN
ceedingly scarce and to pass the time
away they took up their position
| within shooting distance of the
Bennett school house, two and a half
miles north of the city, and plugged
away at the window lights, until SIN
of the lights fell shattered to the
ground. The boys went on their
way and little thought of what was
to follow. Monday each was placed
under arrest on a complaint sworn to
by NJ. M. Marshall, charging them
with maliciously destroying public
property. They were taken before
Justice Mckinley in the afternoon
and after a hearing they were bound
over to the May term of circuit court
on bonds Of 800 each. Then it was
that the ase ceased to be a Joke and
it dawned upon the lads in all seri-
business. However. the fathers of the
lads came to the rescue and went on
their bonds and they will have their
liberty until the court sets in May.
Perhaps this case will have a tenden-
cy to put a check on other depreda-
tions of a similar character that are
going on among the younger gentry
a good deal of the time.

In Every Way Desirable.

Dell Rapids Times: Mitchell is in
every way desirable fer a permanent
seat Of government for South Dako-
ia. 1t is a solid, progressive city,
provided with every public utility
and above the average city of the
tirst-class in morals and good citizen
ship. 1t is a city of schools and
churches, and all the leading frater-
nal societies are represented by their
respective lodges or organizations.
Mitchell has never had a ''set back''
since it was founded. showing that
it has natural advantages to get the
better Of Obstacles which might over
come a less favored city. The city
in 1890 contained a population of
2,2l7, according to the government
census. In 1900 the number had in
creased to 4,055, while the latest city
directory shows a population of over
5000. Only n city in the state
outside Of the Black Hills-thau a
mining town-shows an equal per-
centage Of gain.

Straw Vote Busted.

Recently d straw vote on the cap,

in the central part Of the state

for Mitchell. To Offset this the Alb.

This being a mixed crowd of people

suit gave much consolation to the
friends of Pierre.
The consolation tie friends of
Pierre can secure from that straw
vote is shown by the following item
taken from the Marshal county Sen

the tram:
All the people that were at Aber-

HAS WANDERED AWAY
&C Lowe, of The Salem Ploneer--
Register, Left His Home and
Cannot be FOund,

The Bridgewater Tribune says
that G. G. Lowe, editor of the Salem
Pioneer-Register has gone away
quite mysteriously, leaving no ex-
PLANTATION. Neither business nor
family troubles are at the bottom of
his disappearance, and the cause,
whatever 1T may be, says The Trib-
une, is a personal one. The Regis
ter will be run by his brother and
his wife, both of whom have been on
the staff of the paper for several
years. 1t is thought Mr.. loves
mind is effected, due to over work.
MIR. Lowe was in Mitchell several
weeks ago, and at that time his ac-
tions seemed a little strange. 1t is
hoped that Mr.. Lowe will 1ecover
and return to his work.

All in Douglas County.

The Armour Herald in comment
ing on the support of the newspapers
in Douglas county with reference to
capital removal says that with the
acquisition OF the Harrison Globe
every newspaper in Douglas county
is now supporting Mitchell for the
capital. There are good reasons why
the papers south and north of Mitch-
ell, within her territory, should sup.
port Mitchell, and the larger propor-
ton Of them are so engaged. Mitch
ell has the strongest papers in the
state doing excellent service in her
behalf and the good arguments they
are setting forth are making votes
for this city.
