TO eocM ABERDEEN.

States,

Il
Plans are nearly completed for the
organization of the $4,000 club for
aberdeen, and before they are car
ried to completion it is probable the
name of the proposed organization will
be changed to the $4,000 club.
Several offers of financial assistance
have been made, and the prospects for
success look so bright that plans al
ready are being outlined to start q
special train out to tour Minnesota.
Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois. 1t is
proposed that this train shall carry a
band, several good speakers, a moving
picture machine with scenes of Aber-
deem ball team and a live newspa-
per man who will provide live news
for the press on the route. An album
dance of advertising literature will
be carried as well as an agricultural
exhibit 1t is the intention to start
the special out about the middle Of
September and remain out about six
or eight weeks.
In the meantime the club proposes
to arrange for a big carnival in Aber-
deem, and announcements Of the event
will be sent broadcast throughout the
country. 1t is believed that the club
will be launched before the end Of

PARTLY PARALYzED BY BOLT.

Freak.
Miss Mamie Cavanaugh of De Smet
had a narrow escape from instant
death as the result of the antics OF
bolt of lightning. She was seated at
the piano during severe thunder and
electrical storm and received an cleo
trio shock that completely paralyzed
her body from the waist down. One
foot was on the pedal of the instrG-
ment, while the other was on the
floor. The position of her feet in some
manner formed circuit. The piano
stool had glass feet, which insulated
it, and undoubtedly assisted in max
ing an uninterrupted circuit. Miss
Gavanaugh was seriously injured, but
physicians express the opinion that
ultimately she viii recover from the
effects of the shock.

SINGS TO sURDUE LION.

Kept captive through an entire
night by a ferocious mountain lion,
and saved from horrible death only
by her singing, was the terrible ex-
perience of Mrs. John Underwood,
who, with her family, was camping on
the banks Of Iron creek, near Harvey
Peak. This is one of the widest and
most rugged regions in the Black
Hills. Wild animals, long extinct in
other parts, still make their homes
among the rocks and caves, and hide
in the dark recesses of this park-like
wonderland.
Mr.. and Mrs. Underwood, with their
three children, came out recently from
New York, Mr.. Underwood to look at
ter some mining interests and the
family to enjoy the novelty of camp
life in the Black Hills. They camped
in commodious tent in a small park
of Iron creek. Last Friday evening.
just before shutdown, Mrs. Underwood
started from camp alone to meet her
husband, who was coming from the
mine. Not being familiar with the
country, she missed her way, and
though she tried to keep her wits
about her and look for the familiar
landmarks, yet it was not long until
she realized that she was hopelessly
lost
The night falls suddenly among
these mountains, and just as the last
flicker of daylight vanished she was
startled by a frightful scream behind
her, and at the same moment was
borne to the ground by an immense
mountain lion. The fall did not hurt
her, but as the wild-eyed animal stood
over her and she realized her probable
fate, she screamed in terror. The lion
lifted his head at the sound Of the
echo which her voice awakened, and
as she, saw that his attention was at
tracted it came to her mind that she
had read of wild animals being SUBJ
dued by the sound of a human voice.
She began to sing, first in a faltering
and uncertain voice. but afterward
more steadily and clearly, as she
found that she could effectualy dis
tract the beast.
Through the chill night of the noun
tain she sang, now gayly, now desper-
ately, all the songs she had ever heard,
while the immense cat lay in apparent
content with one huge paw stretched
over her, holding her in vice-like
grip. She had wandered farther from
the beaten path than she had realized,
and it was not until the day began to
break that Mr.. Underwood, guided by
the sound of her voice, found his i'm
prisoned wife.
A carefully directed shot from his
rifle brought speedy death to the
lion, and Mrs. Underwood was rescued,
thoroughly unnerved from her nights
experience, but otherwise unframed.
The lion measured eight feet from
tip to tip and weighed not less than a
hundred pounds.
Mr.. and Mrs. Underwood broke
camp the following day, and with their
family returned East This is the
first lion that has been seen in the
Southern hills for years, and tbs s.up-
position is that it had become enraged
from hunger, as 1t is very unusual
thing for one OF these cougars to at
tack a person.
