Killed BY the Cars.

Emil Gustafson, aped % years died at
the city hospital in Sioux Falls Friday
morning. Mr.. Gustafson's death was
the result of an accident which took
place Friday morning about 3 o'clock at
Garreston. Gustafson was a fireman

unknown means the engine broke loose
from the tender allowing the fireman to
drop 10 the track. He was run over by
the train, The left leg was cut off and
the right leg crushed. He was put on

right, but after having dope so her
dress in some manner caught on the

little time before the engine could be

physician was summoned who dis
covered that two of her ribs were
broken, and that in addition her leg

Three Constitutional Amendments.
There are three questions to be voted
upon by the people at the coming gen.
eral election which should interest even y
voter. First and foremost is the capital
removal bill. Another is to grant the
attorney general the same salary paid
other state officers and the third is for a
change in the loaning of state school
funds allowing loans up TO $1,000 TO be
made to any one person or company
but limiting the amount to be loaned on
real estate mortgages to not exceed one
third of the actual value Of the and OIL
which the loan is made. These three
amendments will be submitted on Q
separate ballot from that on which tho
general ticket is placed, and it will b
the duty Of election judges to presen'
one Of the constitutional ballots to eaci
voter at the same time he is given I
general ballot. BY this means it Is pre-
sumed that the. constitutional question
will receive o heavier vote than ha
been the case when they have beeI
placed on the same ballot with the gen
eral ticket.

Valuable Relic.

Haldor Gregguson, of Canton,
recently came into possession of a valu-
able and interesting relic, a violin
owned for many years by his grand
father. The instrument has been in the
family for considerably more than a
century, having been handed down
from father to son during that time.
The violin, as neal as can be learned,
was made about the year 1870 by one of
the great Italian violin makers of that
period, and owing 10 its great age has a
tone which cannot be surpassed by any
other instrument of the kind in the
state or northwest.

Supposed Murdered Man Turns UP.

oappoSt0 eo' ~
A decided sensation has been created
in Sioux Falls and other places in the
eastern part of the state by the
announcement that Edward S. Wasem,
the former Sioux Falls man who was
reported as having been murdered in a
Yankton saloon on the last night OF the
registration period for chances to secure
claims in the coded portion of the Rose
bud Indian reservation, is alive and
well. A body found in the Missouri
river at Dakota City, Neb., was identi-
fled by two brothers of the missing man
as that of Edward S. Wasem, and
detectives have been engaged for sew
eral weeks in striving to unravel the
mystery surrounding his alleged death.
1t now appears that he left Yankton
quietly after having had a row in a
saloon and went TO Lesterville, a short
distance from Yankton, where since
that time he has been employed in a
livery stable.
Goes to Her Own Race.
On a momentous winter day almost
sixteen years ago, when General Miles
shattered the power of the Indian in the
northwest in the sanguinary battle of
Wounded Knee, an Indian girl papoose
was found upon the field by searchers
for the wounded. Friday this brand

young woman, passed through Webster
City, Iowa, on ner way to Chamberlain
where she goes with the intention of
learning her native tongue and fitting
herself for work among the Sioux, her

Almost "a Fire.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. b. Allison, of Brook
ings had an experience with prairie fire
Friday which they will not oon forget.
Mr.. Allison started to burn off "a portion
of his farm where some weeds were
growing. A strip of apparently green
grass was between the weeds and a field
of stubble and he thought the grass
would not burn, but it did, and it took
the combined efforts of himself and
wife to prevent the fire spreading which
would have swept over a large area OF
farm lands had they not succeeded in
putting out the flames.

sundry petty thefts committed around

details of their financial business for

counties either by mortgages or bonds,
leaving the liabilities outside of this

Gas For Miller.

The agitation OF the gas wells at
Pierre only eighty miles away, is again
renewing intetest in the probability of
sinking wells at Miller that will supply
the same product in sufficient quanti-
ties for light, fuel, power etc. When
the first artesian well was sunk in
Miller about fifteen years ago sufficient
gas escaped with the water to make a
blaze, as was demonstrated by touching
a match to it. There was considerable
talk then about sinking a deeper and
larger well for the purpose of securing
the gas for use, but nothing was done.
Only a year or so ago an expert who
had done much prospecting in oil
regions was there and he claimed that
wells could be put down almost any
where between Huron and Pierre that
would not only produce gas III paying
quantities, but oil as well. He was
without capital to put n of these wells
down, and failed here to interest with
him men of means. II Is quite likely
that an attempt will yet be made there
to tap this known gus and supposed oil
strata

Made Two visits.

Horace Munson, a well known farmer
living near oldham, had an unusual
and interesting experience. A sneak
thief entered his home and carried
away s25 in cash. Upon discovering
his loss Munson went TO town and pur-
chased a revolver in order to be fully
prepared to defend his property. That
very night the thief, whose identity is
yelled in mystery, again raided Nun
sons home, tins time securing $40 in
cash. 1t is feBred that on the next
raid he may steal Munson's revolver,
which has proved TO be no precaution
whatever against the thief.
Standard Oil Suit.
Frank j. Adams, private secretary to
Judge Garland, of the United States
court in Sioux Falls, has just returned
from a trip to Chicago and New York
and while in the former city, was
informed by the western attorneys of
the Standard Oil company that the
company would probably be ready to
ommence the taking of testimony next
week in the case of the company against
the State of South Dakota. The pur-
pose of the suit is to test the legality of
an oil inspection law enacted by the
state legislature at its last session.
The KiIii:l. Frost Record.
Believing the matter is of interest at
this time the weather reports in this
office for the last six years were looked
over and the following data in regard
to the frost record was secured: In 1898
there was a light frost on the 18th, but
no killing frost until near the close of
the month. In 1899 there was a light
frost on the nth, with a killing frost
on the Goth. In 1900 there was a kill
ing frost on the nth. In 1901 there
was a killing frost on the 18th. In 1902
there was a slight frost on the 18th,
with a killing frost on the 18th. In
1908 there was a killing frost on the
18th. Taking the past six years as a
criterion we should have a killing frost
about this time.

temporarily utilized by the mayor

caught his majesty redhanded in
the act of working. Upon our
arrival. however he Immediately
decided to take rest, and after
presenting us with the freedom Of
the city, opened a crate OF canta-
loupes, with a watermelon on the
side, and commanded us to "hll
up" We did not need a second
invitation, and did our best to
reduce the mayors cantaloupe
shipments for that day.
MIR. Willis, as usual, was one of
the early birds in the cantaloupe
market. He informed US thar for
his FIRST shipment Of twenty two
crates he received a check for SIoS
nearly S. per crate. He ship
ped eighty seven crates last Tues
day, and on the day we visited him
he expected to ship at least 100
crates. He has eighteen acres in
cantaloupes, and one field Of FIVE
acres that he has not touched at
all as yet. The mayor is an all
round melon man and an expert at
Grating, his creations in the latter
art being marvels of nestness that
are beautiful to look upon. With
favorable conditions the mayor
will probably have an average Of
400 crates to the acre, which
means $1,000 or $1,000 to the
good-enough to keep the wolf
from his door until the cantaloupe
season comes around again once
