INJURED.
Engineer Of Threshina Machine Has
Marrow Escape from Death.

Sioux Falls, S. d., Oct. .24.-Martin
I4immer, engineer of q thrashing ma
chine which is operating in Lake coun-
ty, was seriously injured as the result
of an accident. Only by a miracle did
he escape with his life.
He was adjusting some part of the
cylinder or connections and was lean
ing forward when the clothing at a
point over his chest caught ON the key
in the n of the whirling shaft. In an
instant his clothing had been wound
around the shaft and he himself was
being whirled at a speed which made
the Mortified spectators fully believe
that he would be dashed to death be-
fore their very eyes.
After being whirled on the shaft for
a time the tearing from his body of
every shred of his clothing free him
from the grasp of the shaft. When re-
leased the velocity at which he was be-
ing whirled round the shaft caused
him to be thrown a humble of feet
from the engine. An examination dis
closed hat one of his arms was broken.
a knee dislocated and a nib loosened
from the breast bone.
While being whirled around the shart
his cheek and forehead struck a key
in of the gear shafts, cutting an
ugly cash across his face. Had his
face passed half an inch closer he
would have met instant death.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 20.-That some
of the professional cracksmen who re-
Gently robbed a bank at Springfield, S.

northwest of Sioux Falls.

Before citizens could appear on the!
scene, however, the crackSnlen had

ing the robbers must Immediately have
gone to work on the safe.
After inserting the nitroglycerin they
took u bar of soap from q shelf and
used a portion of it to stop UP the
cracks. The explosion tore the safe to-
pieces and greatly damaged the build-i

back to the floor ten feet from the safe
AS Mr.. Peterson had taken the bulk
of his money home with him the night
before, the robbers secured only about
$50 in cash. Suspicion points to two
strangers who preceding the robbery
were seen in Cotton on two occasions.
There apparently is no doubt that they.
are a part of the gang which during the
past two months has raided a number
OF South Dakota towns.

GAME IN BUTTER TUB.
One Method of Shipping Prairie Chick
ems in South Dakota,

Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 20.-What is
known as the CodingtOn county 'but1
ter irkin'' case has reached the United
States court in this city and will be
investigated by a United States grand
jury which convened here today.
The case is a peculiar one. a butter
firkin which was being shipped irony
Kampeska, a station near WATERFOWL,
to Chicago aroused the suspicion of the
game warden, who suspected that it
contained something other than butter,
SO strong was this suspicion hat the
game warden seized the firkin.
When it was opened it was found to
contain a number of prairie Chickens
which We're being shipped out of the
state in violation of the provisions of
the Lacey act, which is otherwise
known as the national gains law. The
game warden made an effort to find the
name OF the shipper, but in vain. AN
he could learn from the station agent
at Kampeska was that he found the,
package on the depot platform, with a.
letter of instructions to snip as direct
ed, and that the party whose name Way
signed to the letter of instructions, L.
MURDOCH would call at the station for
the receipt.
An investigation showed that there.
was no one in COdington county of the,
name given on the letter Of instruC-i
tons. The county officials dropped the
case. but he government has now
stepped in and Sheriff Waddell, States
Attorney Hu~ndredmark and several,
others who are supposed to know ONE
thing regarding the matter. ave been
summoned to appear before the federal.
grand jury and tell what they know.
An attempt may be made to compel
MI. Carl, the station agent, who also
acts as the agent at ~kampe3l.a for the.
express company over whose lines the
tirkn was to be shipped. to reveal the
name of the lawbreaker. as it is sup
posed that Carl knows the true name Of
he shipper.

PRAIRIE HEN Is PASSING.
A Few More Years of Slaughter ant
the Bird Will Be Extinct.

Armour, S.. D., Oct. 23,-The proud,
valiant prairie chicken once so numer-
GUS on the broad expenses of South
Dakota is passing and in a half dozen
years will be as extinct as the noble
bison. The greed Of the pot hunter
and game hog has been making sac
inroads on the most beautiful bird of
which this state can boast. The waving
prairies where once the prairie hen
could rear her brood and teach them
the ways of their fathers, and where
they could fly for miles and miles with
out the haunting wire fence or tele-
graph pole, are now u up by the
farmer, and the bird is left no re-
serves.
Only q few years s. this state was
well filed with chickens. as we'll as
other game of the feathered tribe, but
they hay all now been crowded to
the extreme borders of the state where,
in strange environments, they rear
with difficulty small flocks.
Each fall a few hundred Of the sur
vivors wander back to the prairies they
love, only to be gobbled up by the
greedy and Voracious hunter who
knows no sympathy and gives no quar-
ter.
AT railway stations all over South
Dakota since the season opened and the
birds are unprotected they are being
shipped to every place in disguised
packages IN it is alleged with the full
knowledge OF the express agent who
has a small commission. In Charles
Mix county not a solitary warden was
appointed this year and the hunter is
doing his share with no mercy and in
defiance of the state law. This is II
of the eason why in only a few years
the pretty prairie hen will be a bird ex-
tinct in this state.
The birds have been slaughtered since
the first of September. Market shoot
ers are making a good thing from the
profits they so numerically gain. A
few of the gunners have been caught
and held to the action of the law, but
the penalty is so light that they set no
example for the guidance of the vio-
!ator.
1t is a sight not al all reslished by
residents ofthe state, and many farm
ers are ordering all trespassers from
lands under penalty of personal
injury. This is the only alternative.

Pierre, S. D., Oct. 23.-While South
Dakota is not only a young state, but
its territorial organization is yet fresh
in the memory Of many residents Of
the northwest, yet events of fifty years
ago in this section of the state are be-
coming a matter of record. Just a half
century g yesterday General William
s. Harvey arrived at Fort Pierre, a
frontier trading post. to take possess
sion Of it for the government, it hav-
ing been purchased from the fur COM
as n of the outlying forts of the
government. He cane with 1000 men
and found a collection of log huts in
sufficient to house Eone-fourth of his
force. They arrived in u pouring ain
and camped for one night in the open
The conditions We're such that it was
necessary to construct winter quarters
