to the State from Anderson. S. c..
says:
Mrs. Maudo BroadWick. wife OF
Chas.l Broadwick, an aeronaut. with
carnival company, fell from balloon
here this afternoon and was instantly
killed.
Mrs. PrOadWick was, an experienced
balloonist herself and had made two
ascensions while here. but was not to
go up this afternoon. Her husband
was TO max the ascension and para
chute drop. and she was standing by
to give the signal to cut the ropes
when all WaH ready.
She gave the signal all right. but
W hen the balloon shot up into the air
she was hanging TO the ropes between
the balloon and the parachute. After
she had reached a distance of 200 or
800 feet she dropped TO the earth.
striking on the hard ground and was
instantly killed. The balloon went
straight up into the air and she fell
within Il few feet of the snot from
where she started. \ crowd of pos
.ibly 1000 persons witnessed the
tragedy.
Broadwick. who was fastened into
the parachute with Il belt. went on
some distance higher and then cut
loose and descended in safety.
Most of the carnival people are in
clined to tha opinion that Mrs. Broad
Wick's death was suicide rather than
an accident. They said Broadwick and
his Wife had been Quarreling for
week or more. and this, together with
the fact that she was an experienced
aeronaut and there were no project
ing ropes about the balloon harness
able to entangle a person. led them to
the suicide theory.
BroadWick admits that he and his
wife had ouarreled, but says they had
made up, as they had done before. He
says that she knew all about balloons
and that he does not see how she could
have become entangled in the ropes
He says that as she fell she called to
him TO catch her. but that he could
not do SO. He thinks it was an acci-
dent and not suicide

CROOKS CAPTURED.
Town Marshal of Harrisburg
Makes Important Capture of
rIen and Burglar Supplies.

Sioux Falls Press, IS: Nels Everson,
town marshal of Harrisburg, just aci ioss
the line in Lincoln county, made an m
portant capture about dusk last evening
which may be the means of preventing
a train robbery or an attempt to blow
up a bank.
He observed two suspicious charac-
ters hanging about the town and at
about clock last evening he arrested
them. One of the fellows showed fight
but the marshal landed them both in
the town jail. Flom the material car
lied on their persons and hid by them
in the town it is evident they were
most dangerous characters and contem-
plated some desperate robbery. They
had sticks OF dynamite. 100 dynamite
caps, lot of fuse II or 10 steel hack
saws, candles, heavy hammer, revolt
vers and plenty of ammunition. They
were observed in the vicinity of an
elevator and search brought to light
the dynamite and other material fol-
bank or train wrecking. 1t is believed
that tney have more burglar materials
hid about the town and search is being
made for it.
One of the men is about 5 feet, II
inches tall and % years of age. They
| wore black suits and each had new
shoes and rubbers
Chief Martin was seen by a Pres
reporter last evening but could furnish
no clue as to the identity of the men
Harrisburg thought they came from
Sioux Falls. but the chief does not know
of any such desperadoes though he will
probably nave look at them today.
1T is evident that Marshal Seyersor
has made very important capture, ant
nipped in the bud some well planned
burglary.

Plans OF Extension from Cham
lain to the Pacific Coast
Country.

Deadwood dispatch, 10: Interesting
information in respect to the Milwaukee
railroad $ proposed extension to the
Pacific coast has been received in Dead
wood 1t comes from one in intimate
relation with the president and other
officials of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul Railway company.
The plans of the road are declared to
be completed, and as quickly as the
spring opens sufficiently construction
will begin on a through line to the
Pacific coast terminals at Seattle, Ia
coma. Portland and Bellingham on the
Sound, terminals at the last named
place having been secured during the
past thirty days. Officials OF the road
have made arrangements for the ere
tion of roundhouses, freight depots, and
such passenger stations as will not be
taken possession Of by the union.. Station
in Seattle. They have also had their en-
gineers lay out the t1ackage facilities
and construction will begin from the
Pacific coast points east at the same
time that they will begin from Cham
berlain west.
The new roads entrance into the
Black Hills proper can be made easily
from Belle Fourche up False Bottom,
through the Maitland mining district,
and thence to Blacktail gulch and into
Deadwood by way of Deadwood gulch.
The grade would be very easy and
would not be as expensive construction
as the Whitewood road of the Chicago
and Northwestern.
The road through Maitland district
would open up some valuable mineral
resources, also some large timber tracts
on Lower False Bottom. This would
mean that the cattle business CT Belle
Fourcne would be divided between the
Chicago and Northwestern and the
Milwaukee companies, Last year about
2, 500 carloads of cattle were shipped
from Belle Fourche, making about
So, coo head. The proposed road vii
cut across several of the irrigating dis
tricts which are now proposed by th'
government near Belle Fourche.
The Black Hills people would have
preferred the Eyarts route for the eros
sing of the reservation instead of the
Chamberlain way. 1t would have made
better connection with Pierre. Starting
at Chamberlain. however, the road Will
give better connection for southeastern
points in the state.

The Japanese feel now that they can
whip any other country on earth, ana
if that condition of mind grows, and
their desire to possess the Philippines
continues, trouble will surely follow.
"As it seems to me, the thing Tor TINS
country to do is to begin now
strengthening of its navy that would be
an effective preventive OF any trouble
with Japan or any other country. IN
the event of disagreement with Japan,
the navy alone would have to bear the
brunt of the trouble. 1t is I5OO miles
to the Philippines-too great distance
| to think of transporting troops with an
effective hostile navy lying in wait for
them. So there could be no land war
fare. The only hone of this country
| would lie in absolutely destroying ia
pan 3 supremacy on the oriental seas.
| That would be the sole hope OF victory
81 think that each congress that
meets should build at least one battle
ship. We have now about sixteen bat
| tleships in course of construction when
these are finished we will have a navy
second only to that of England. but
we must get on an equal sea tootlng
with England, believe. We spend
now about so, coo, 600 year for navai
| maintenance with the new ships added
our expense will be about 500, OOO, oOo'
while England spends annually s24o'
900, 600.

the Hawaiian islands properly. IL we
do that we can be masters OF the Pacl :
fc. No ship can cross the Pacific both
ways without coaling Ii Japan sent
ship to San Francisco to lombard that
CITY, it would be stranded there unless
it could coal somewhere on American
territory. The thing for us to do is TO
make that sort of thing impossible, ana
Hawaii is one of the points that must
be strengthened by following out
this sort of policy the possibility OF war
with Japan or any other country will
be greatly lessened. 1t is an important
policy, even though it may cost money
now; it will be economical of treasure
and life in the long run. :
