Young Farm Hands Arrest on Horse
Stealing Charge Reveals Strange

Young Farm Hands Arrest on Horse
Stealing Charge Reveals Strange
Contract.
The arrest of a young man named
Edward Everhart, who for some time
had been in the employ of a farmer
living near Sioux Falls, discloses al
Interesting story.
Last summer Everhart entered the
employ of the farmer, with whom he
alleges he made a contract that fol
six months service he was to be given
his employers daughter, who was @
little over sixteen years OF age.
The six months recently expired
when Everhart learned that another
young man had a stronger claim than
himself upon the affections of the girl
This apparently did not worry him
much, for in resigning the girl, 1t is
charged, he appropriated one Of his
employers ponies, thinking this would
be satisfactory to the farmer and
would compensate himself for his sll
months work.
After he had sold the pony the farm
er had him arrested for horse stealing
when the terms OF the unique contract
entered into between them were TO
vealed

to give $4,000 for the endowment fund.
The Presbyterian board OF aid for col

pledged the last 5000 of the SEC, 900
to be secured by the end Of the year.
With the $4,000 to get and eight days

tiers and kilograms were sent to GER
tain friends in the East. Only those
who have gone through such a cam
paign know how the mails are watched
and how every dollar counts with the
weight OF ten. The evening Of Dec. 81
came. Many gifts and pledges had
been received, some given at a cost
which oaly God and the giver knew.

letters which were Of greater value
than many gifts. Ninety eight thousand

sonal guarantee was given upon which

purpose are to be applied.
Successful completion Of this effort

the history of the college. 1t does not
mean that there is now plenty OF

pledged anything toward the endow.

AssAILS MINT REPORT.
South Dakota Claims Figures on Pro
duction Are In Error.

South Dakota Claims Figures on FRO
duction Are In Error.
Residents of this state are much sur
prised to find that the report Of the
director of the mint in relation to the
production of gold and silver in the
past year says: South Dakota pro-
duced $2,SS9,137 of gold and $179,965
of silver. The gold decrease in South
Dakota was $4,076,000."
The report is SO far In error that
there is no reason in It. The report
of the state mine inspector for the
same time shows the gold production
of the state to have been over $1,000
600, and the production Of the Home
stake mine alone is almost double that
credited to the whole state.
Doane Robinson, secretary Of the
state historical society, has called the
attention of the director of the mint
to the error, and places the total gold
output of the state for the year at 81, ;
342, 287, and asks that an error which
so badly indicates what the state is
doing in one Of its most important in.
dustries be corrected.
There was a slight reduction in the
gold output over last year, but was
only in thousands Of dollars instead OF
millions, and was caused by shutdowns
of short time In several mines.

the water by tightly clasping the edge
Of the ice with his hands. Being heav-
lily encountered with a fur coat he
was unable to do much toward extri-
eating himself from his dangerous po-
sition and shouted for help IN the hope
that some Indian or passing traveller
might hear his cries.
But no one heard his shouts for as
sistance, and he was forced to remain
in his perilous position for what
seemed hours. Realizing that his stu
alton was desperate and that heroic
measures were necessary If he were
not to find grave in the murky wa
tiers of the river, he made one last ef,
fort to drag himself to the surface OF
the ice.
His effort, which must have been OF
a superhuman nature, was successful,
and he succeeded in drawing himself
up on the ice, the edge Of which broke,
but by retaining his presence Of mind
and rolling over and over he finally
reached a spot where the ice was
sound.
Although benumbed and nearly ex
hausted, he managed to drag himself
to his team and drove to the home OF
ranchmar in the vicinity. where he
was cared for.
