NATURAL GAS.
Found Within Thirty Miles of Sioux
Falls

Falls.
Some twelve or fifteen years ago a
flow OF natural gas was discovered on
a farm eight miles west of Marion
Junction. At that time, for some un-
known reason, the report Of the dis
covery was silenced and was thought
by many to have been one of those
boom agitations.
During the past few weeks there
have been reports Of the finding of
natural gas in large quantities in the
Silver lake region of Turner and
Hutchinson counties, and while it has
been rumored that numerous stran-
gers have recently visited and investi-
gated that region, but few thought of
taking the matter seriously until last
week.
Secretary Of State d. D. Wipf, resi-
dent of Hutchinson county, and num-
ber of Pierre people came to Dolton
last Friday and after giving the matter
careful investigation concluded that
there Is natural gas in that vicinity
and that its development is possible.
In fact it is assured by specialists that
it can be secured without any very
great expenditure of money.
A number Of capitalists, headed by
Mr.. Wipf, after making the prelimi-
nary arrangements with the land own
ers, organized a company and have in
cOrporated unler the laws of South
Dakota, with the intention of imme-
diately sinking and securing appar-
atus.
The company intends to have sup
ply of the gas ready for commercial
use during the next thirty days and
soon as possible it will be piped to the
adjacent towns, where it may be Sc
cured very cheaply for lighting and
heating purposes.
Since number of able men have
taken hold of the enterprise, it is GER
tainly genuine and its success is as.
sured, which will materially aid the
people of this section.

SLEEPS THROUGH FIRE.
Flames Destroy Farmers Barn With.
out His knowledge.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 19.-Peter
Kinney, farmer living near Aurora,
suffered the loss by fire of barn and
all its contents. 1t is thought the fire
was started by lightning striking the
building. The barn contained several
valuable horses, all Kinney's farm ma.
chinery, about 1900 bushels of barley
and other property. His loss is total
as he did not have a dollar of insur
ance. All he will be able to save
from the ruins will be the salvage on
his barley. Kinney and the members
of his family were not awakened by
the fire and did not know Of the mis-
fortune until morning.

Renorts of railroad building sent +,

Reports of railroad building sent out
from this state frequently are mere
surmises, but it is known that work on
a bridge across the Missouri at Pierre
undoubtedly will be begun before win
ter sets in. Grading will be begun at
Rapid City and at Pierre at the same
time. Also, the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul will build both north and
south OF Waubay either this fall or
early in the spring, probably in the
spring. This move has been definitely
decided upon. The Great Northern ex-
tension from Browns Valley west is
also assured.

the hostiles' strength had been re-
duced. So had the number of troop
ers, and the wounded horses, unable
to respond to the bugle call, Weighed
pitifully from where they had gone

The wounded were being looked
after and their misery eased where
that seemed possible, when Donald
Mckay took the floor. and. in stentor-
ian tones and Snake dialect, told the
hostiles they had better cease firing
and surrender; otherwise the soldiers
would Kill the last one of them.
A defiant answer came rolling back,
and just then an Indian woman hold

diers, saying she would surrender to
save her child. A shot followed from
the gulch she had left, and her own
husband became her murderer. He
was stalking out to secure the baby
when a bullet from McKay's carbiue
ended his career. This baby boy was
afterward raised by a pioneer cattle
man named Altnow, and became the
most expert vaquero on the great Pine
Creek Range.
After twenty-minute parley the
hostiles were given theIf choice Of
determination or surrender. and fi2aI-

Make a Feast Of

trailer was Donald Mckay, whose
grandfather was John Jacob Astor's
partner, and his grandmother a prin-
cess of COncomly's Chinook tribe.
Away went the troopers just as the
westering sun went behind a cloud
which broadened and blackened and
soon began to patter down in rapid
raindrops.
1t was to be a swift pursuit and a
sudden striking of the enemy, and so
every trooper travelled light, except as
to ammunition, which was $50 rounds
to the man. And big 50-caliber cart
rides they were in those days.
Not a superhuous ounce was car
ried on the horses; there was no pack
train, no impediments; merely q few

A good trailer was Donald Mckay,
and the footballs of his trained cayuse
told him in the dark the kind OF
tracks he was stepping in. Where a
small party of the hosules had
branched off to the northwest Donald
knew their number and guessed their
object.
Silently the pursuit continued. Day
light could not be much further away
than over the next divide. Suddenly
in the darkness just ahead. what was
that? The yelp of a coyote? II So.
1t would soon be followed by chorus.
No. 1t was the bark of the coyotes
close cousin, an Indian dog.
Soon 1t was followed by another
bark, and bang! A bullet tipped past
the troopers.
Then came the defiant war whoop.
telling that the Indians had put none
but Americans on guard that nigh.
and that the warriors were stirring
and ready to meet the United States,
the great nation with whom they were
at war.
Quickly the troopers accommodated
them. There were yoileys from both
sides. dashing cavalry charCo
through the camp, a reassembling by
bugle call on the other side, and
another rush through.
1t was blind business in the dark,
but the Indians gave shot for shot a.
they scattered around in the sage
brush and posted themselves in ra.
vines.
As daylight came, the troopers
closed in on the camp, and what
warriors remained in it died defiant.
The camp was a medley of willow
pole wiclliups and alternating wind
| breaks shaped like the modern hats
worn by women. When the soldiers
got full possession they rather ignored

the bees that were left than kill them.

increasing and men are not slow to
take advantage of them.
The prayers OF praise for the bene-
fits of the past and the prayers OF
supplieations for other blessings to
follow will be needed by the Deity
and his constant care extended toward
us. No cataclysm of crime can Grad
icate from man the belief that he is
the creature of supernatural power
and intelligence. The tendency OF
scientific research is to strengthen
this belief by making more manifest
the wondrous works of God. 1t may
be considered doubtful if the belief
in mans divine origin was ever en-
tirely obliterated from any human
mind. With this belief firmly planted
in the hearts and homes of this great
American nation and mindful OF the
true source of all earthly power and
blessings, it is fitting that in the tenn.

tates of their own conscience, that
