Highmore, S. D., Dec. 2S.-The belief
existing for years that Hyde county
Was in the natural gas belt of South
Rakota has been demonstrated in a
substantial manner by the striking of
gas in an artesian we'll which is being
drilled on the farm of b. r. Begun, in
Washington township, near here. The
we'll has been sunk to depth of about
5000 feet. The water flowing from the
we'll is impregnated with gas to such
an extent that Il blaze burns at the top
pf the open pipe. Even at the COM
paratively short distance to which the
we'll has been drilled it is believed the
itow of gas is sufficient to furnish the
farm with an abundance of gas for
both fuel and lighting purposes. Now
mat 1t has been demonstrated that the
gas fields of Hughes and Sully coun-
ties extend under Hyde county, it is
predicted that it will be only few
Years until practically every farmer in
hyde county has an abundance of gas

thousands of dollars each year to the
farmers of the county. Arrangements
have been completed for sinking deep

Yanllton, S. D., Dec. 28.-The danger
Gus combination of cotton ana ignited
candles came very near to a terrible
Christmas tragedy just north of this
city Christmas, where a Sunday school
celebration was being held at the Nc
Kenzie school house. One of the teach
crs was playing the role of Santa Claus
in heavily padded suit of cotton bat
ting. While engaged in passing out the
presents from the tree his suit caught
fire and in an instant he was ablaze
from head to foot The only thing that
saved the day was the prompt action
of Santa Claus, who rushed outdoors
and rolled in the snow until he had the
flames extinguished. The school room
was very crowded and it was most for
tunate that no injury resulted to any
one. It is one more instance of the fear

tom should be regulated like the oil

These words in letter sent to a
woman at st. Paul, NIinn., by a man
giving his name as Frank Hudson. who
is an inmate of the county Jail in this
city, leads the local authorities to be-
lieVe that Hudson is d member of a
gang of expert cracksmen who had
planned to raid banks in some of the
small towns in this part of South Da-
kOta.
After being arrested and lodged in
the county Jail here, Hudson asked per-
mission to write the letter, expressing
confidence that he would be able to
secure the amount of money written
for. The police at ST. Paul We're noti-
fled of the letter being written and
the address to which it was sent, and
when confronted by them the woman
to whom the letter was sent claimed
she knew nothing about Hudson, inti-
mating that he was q complete stanger
to her.
The reference in the letter to the
boys" bears out the sIspicions of the
local authorizes. who believe that
Hudson was the advance man for some
banks in this locality. Hndson who is
thought to have assumed the name of
Hudson for the purpose of concealing
his true name, has only one eye and
claims to have lost the other in u

1t has been ascertained by the au-
thoritfes that he, rode from ST. Paul to
Marvin, near Milbank, on freight

and walked back to the place where

Sioux Fails, S. D., Dec. 2S.-A condi-
ZION requiring special efforts resulted
from an attempt of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railroad company to
continue carrying the mail from
nonts in the northern part of South
Dakota TO the southern part and to
Sioux City.
1T required the better part of two
days under the original method of
handling mail from that section of the
state north of the Northwestern line
running westward to Pierre to carry
the mail from that region to Sioux City
and Sioux Falls This proved to be an
injury to the wholesalers of the two
sities and a great inconvenience to thou

Accordingly the matter was called to

The result is that notwithstanding
