EXHIBIT OF WAR RELICS
Ball to Be Given Thursday Night by
 Lawton Camp U. 5. WV.

Lawton camp No. 1, United Spanish War veterans, will give it's fourth an- nuaI ball and exhibition of war relics in the O'Nein hall next Thursday night. March Is. The doors will be open at 7:3O o'clock in the evening that those who desire to may spend an hour or so in looking over the relics before the dance begins. There will be no admission fees charged for la dies and all are invited to come and aid to the extent of their wishes or their ability in helping worthy cause.
 Concerning the exhibit it should be said that the members of the camp have a very interesting display of Spanish war relics. Though the mem bership is small there are among the boys some who served in Cuba, some in the Philippines, some in Porto Rico and last but not entirely to be over looked, some who served in Tampa, in Georgia and in Chickamauga. They would all have gone to the front had they been needed or had they been per mitted to and many suffered as much in the home camps as others did on the battle line.
 But all were interested in getting a collection of the relics of the war and many, especially those who went to Cuba and the Philippines, secured a number of very valuable souvenirs. One in particular is an old rusty bOlo that a Phoenix man took away from a Filipino after a desperate personal en- counter. Other relics have been added to the collections since the war closed so that altogether there is a very cred itable display. But the purpose of the ball and exhibition is not alone to have a good time but to replenish the camp treasury which is devoted to the very IaudabIe purpose of caring for sick members and which from the burden upon it is now very low. One mem Der is now in a California hospital and the home camp is assuming the re- sponsibility of caring for him even though it's treasury is limited. It is hoped by the camp that the public will be liberal in its patronage and it will try and give value received for every dollar taken in.

LAW DAY PROCEEDINGS
The Tedium Of It Relieved by a Di-
 VOrce Suit Trial.

Several matters of more or less im- portance were up before the. law day session of the district court yesterday. In the case of John F. Cowan against Mary a Conley a demurrer was reset for March IS The plaintiffs motion for a new trial in the case of J. Wfx Thomas against Mary J. Hickey and others will be heard on the same date.
 Demurrers were overruled in the cases of F. M. Mognett against E. Sun derland; Alex Rheinstein against the Western Investment company, and Marie Ortega against John D. Murphy. This last is a breach of promise case.
 In the case of the territory for Carl Hayden. treasurer, against J. O. Toney, there was a dismissal on the motion of the plaintiff, the costs and taxes having been paid. A motion for q new trial by the defendant in the case of Peter Nelssen against the Salt River Valley Canal company will be heard next Saturday. The suit of c. E. Knoll against W. K. Maun was dis missed on the motion of the plaintiff. A demurrer was argued and submitted in the case of Norris Golf and others against J. c. Wasson. The plaintiff was given ten days in which to file an amended complaint.
 The divorce suit of J. H. Piper against AdeIina F. Piper was partially tried. The plaintiff had based his ap plication for a divorce on the ground of cruel treatment. His allegation was supported by Q deposition by a woman living in Massachusetts who testified to things she had seen and heard in the home of the plaintiff and the defendant in Bangor, Me. The names which she says the defendant called her husband would not look well in print. She also according to the deposition kept him lodging mis- sIes whenever he was in range. It is also stated that on account of his do- mestic trouble it was matter of com mon suppOsitiOn in the Maine town that the plaintiff was growing crazy. The wife is not living in this part of the country.

Aberdeen, S. D.. Dec. 2.Charlea
Hillicker, acting division freight and
passenger agent for the Milwaukee,
road, who has been investigating the
crop situation, states that fully 10 per-
cent of the grain crop In this section
of South Dakota is still unthreshedi
and not more than 30 per cent. OF the
crop has been hauled by the railroads.
to the city markets. The crop was soi
heavy this year all over northern South
Dakota that many farmers, after get
ting their grain crop harvested, found
1t next to impossible to secure q
threshing machine to thresh the CROP.
Most of the machines in this section
worked until compelled to close down
by the approach Of winter and the
tnresher hands had one of the longest
seasons in the history Of the state. The

Aberdeen, S. D., Dec. 4.-The Milwau-

construction of bridge across the Mis-

firm, representatives of whom will be
on the ground at Evarts as soon as the
river freezes for the purpose of taking

just leaked out in Aberdeen, and from a
source absolutely reliable. The con-
tract for the bridge is confirmatory OF
the fact that the road intends to push
the construction of the Pacific coast
extension from Evarts east rapidly as
possibly. Last spring, when cattlemen
on the ranges west of Evarts sought to
secure a franchise for bridge across
the Missouri at this point they were
advised by the Milwaukee to postpone
their action and were assured that a
railroad bridge would span the river at
Evarts within a short time. The fact

WANT BETTER MAIL sERvIcE.

Castlewood, S. D., Dec. 5-The super
intendent of the mail service has been
petitioned by the business men and
citizens generally of this place for the
granting of better mail facilities the
present mail service being very unsat-
isfactory and inadequate to the needs
of the town. Recently morning and
evening passenger train which carried
mail has been withdrawn, the trains
now going by way of Candy and Mar
SHALL Mimi. This town has only one
railroad, the Chicago and Northwest
ern, and the withdrawal of the trains
mentioned is proving a hardship upon
the people of Castlewood and vicinity.
The purpose of the business men in Pc
titioning the superintendent of the mail
service. at st. Paul is to have a pas
senger" train put on between Water
town and Brookings, this place being
situated between those points. If this
is done the mail facilities will be ma
terially improved and the people will
be satisfied

BoukHouT ACQUITTED.
Jury Agreed with Prisoner That DEAD
Man Caused Own Death.

Milbank, S. d., Dec. 7.-Siesto Bouk-
hout, formerly of Iowa. was acquitted
of murder in the district court here.
In September a man from Iowa, liv-
ing on the same farm as BoulShout,
was killed by being struck on the
head with q pitchfork, one tine pene-
trating the brain, Boul1hout was ac-
cused of the crime. He admitted hav-
ing had the fork in his hand, but de-
nied having struck the blow. Two eye
witnesses could not tell how the man
received the fatal blow.
On the witness stand the defendant
was u star witness in his own behalf,
through his simplicity in telling his
story. getting up before the jury and
explaining in cilildlike manner, how
and where he stood at the time of
the killing. A shrewd lawyer did the
rest for him. The hinging question to
clear from the minds of the jury was:
"How did George Constance receive
the fatal thrust of the fork?" The
counsel said that there was but one
cause. AS the defendant threw up his
hands to protect himself from blow
struck by the deceased he naturally
raised the fork, which was in his right
hand. The handle of the same struck
against the frame of the door, and as
Constance came toward the defendant
he struck his head against the tines of
the fork, thus causing his own death.
The jury after being out but a short
time brought in a verdict of not guilty.

p. Hansen, of the South Dakota Asricul-
tural college, of Brookings, passed through
Aberdeen on Sunday on his return from a
trip to Campbell county and along the
Missouri river in search OF native plum
trees for his horticultural experiments at
the agricultural college. Every year dur
ing the fruiting season of the native
fruits of South Dakota Professor Hansen
takes trip through the more sparsely
settled regions of the state in an effort
TO find superior specimens of the wild
plum, the sand cherry and other native
South Dakota fruits Where he finds an
extra specimen he marks it, and later re-
turns to secure roots and gratis to be used

WATER FLOODING CITY.
AIpena's Fine Artesian Well Is on a
RAMPAGE,

Alpena, S. D., Dec. 5.-An artesian
we'll which furnishes the people of this
place with water for domestic and 9TH
er purposes, is on rampage and may
do serious damage before it is brought
under subjection.
The trouble is caused by the water
escaping from the we'll casing at some
depth in the ground. The escaping wa
ter is coming up in large streams at diff
ferent places In town, and as yet efforts
to control it have been unsuccessful.
The escaping water first broke out
under the sidewalk in the business por-
ton of the town, but after great efforts
was finally stopped at that point. Next
it spouted from the ground near a
church, and for several days the people
were treated to the novel sight of a two
inch stream of water gushing from the
earth at that point.
Now it has broken forth in the resi-
dence grounds of w. H. Mcmillan, a
prominent citizen. Fears are enter
tanned that great damage will be done
by the escaping water bursting forth
under the foundations of valuable build
ings, which easily might be ruined if
the stream of water is not diverted.

BARKER TRIAL CALLED.
A Murder Case Is Before Brown coun.
ty Court at Aberdeen,


Aberdeen, S. D., Dec Estates At
torney Campbell has completed his ar
rangements for the criminal cases to
be tried at the term of circuit court
Which commenced yesterday. The first
case to be tried will be that of the
accused of misrepresenting the value
of horse which he sold.
William W. Barker, accused of the
murder of the Lee Zook in box car at
Hecla, will be the second case on the
criminal calendar to be taken up This
case will probably take up considerable
time, as Barker's father, who lives in
Missouri, has obtained the services of
Taubman, Williamson & Herreid, of
Which firm former Governor Herreid
is member, to defend his son, and ev-
cry effort will be made to save the ac-
cuSed man.
The murder of which Barker is ac-
cused was a particularly cold hlooded
affair. Zook, With a number of COM
panions, was on his way to North Da-
kota to work at threshing. The men
had paid the trainmen for their ride

shot. He was taken to Oakes, N. D.,
where he died the next day.
Barker was arrested at Hecla the
next day after the shooting occurred,
and was identified by a number of the
men on the car at the time the shoot
ing occurred as the taller of the two
holdup men. The shorter man has

Yankton, S. D., Dec. 4.-L,ecidedly
out of the usual were the Thanksgiving

Olson of Violin. He had been in this
city during the day and started for
home after dark. Before he had gone
very far he fell asleep and left his team

crossing the Milwaukee track near
Mission Hill the team had attempted
to cross some trestle work, with the
result that both horses had gone
through the open spaces between the
tinbers. Olson, now wide awake, set
to work, and after every effort had
been put forth he succeeded in getting
one horse out. The other was beyond
him and he left it on the track while
he went for help. Riding the liberated
animal, he started off, lost his way and
