4 HORSES KICK
BREAKS HIS Jaw
little Meryin Marker is Kicked in
Face and Badly Hurt.
Has Narrow Escape from Instant
Death, but is Improving Rapidiy
and will soon Recover.

Master Mervin Marker, son of Mr.
aud Mrs. ]. T. Marker of this place,
seems to have been born under an
unlucky STAR" if the stars have aught
to do with ones existence here. He
has always been rather frail little
chap, having had various operations
for different troubles, and has but
lately recovered from siege of ty-
phoid fever. He seemed better than
he had been for some time until last
Saturday afternoon, wbep another
grave disaster came upon him.
While playing out in the yand at
home he was kicked in the face by a
horse. His jaw was broken and the
side of his face lacerated and bruised.
His nose was also broken and one
point of the shoe struek on the tenn
pie, but did not break the skull, the
greater force of the kick seeming to
have been on the lower part of the
face.
When taken into the house his folks
thought their darling was passed all
help, but after ten minutes work of
administering restoratiYes he was
brought to consciousness. Dr.. Bing-
er was summoned and attended the in
juries aud gives the parents every en-

Was Severely Injured.

Freeman Springer, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Josiah Springer, was up from
Sparks Thursday of last week. for a
short visit with his folks. Freeman
was slowly recovering from injuries
received the week before by falling
from the coal chutes at Sparks, where
he runs the derrick.
He was standing on an icy plank
trying to move the derrick, when his
foot slipped and down he went. The
coal came down on top of him, and
when first rescued by his fellow work.
men it was thought that his back was
broken. He was taken home on a
stretcher and DR.. Ascher summoned
to attend him. While no bones we're
broken, Freeman was badly bruised
and shaken up from the fall and when
here could hardly walk, a week after
the accident.

The Case Decided,

Justice Fits gave his decision in
the Case of DR.. Herring vs. l.. N.
Marker last Saturday morning. 1t
was that Mr.. Marker should pay The
Doctor $22.50 and costs of suit. The
suit was for some $50 90. The de-
cision of Justice Fits was that for
nine days DR.. Herring was physician
in charge Of the case, but that after
that time he was consulting physician
and must look to the physician then
in charge for his fees.
Mr.. Marker declares he will appeal
the case to the District Court and
will not pay the judgment of the JUS
tice Court.

strange tale of wealth, is Henry
Krummis, blacksmith at the Bonanza
King. He was called upon to see
what was the matter with the water
faucet when Mrs. Slater went to close
it, after drawing some water. Seeing
that something had clogged it. he
took the faucet of and found piece
of quartz some half inch in cube and
in it a gold nugget as large as a good
sized pill. This he gave to the seoool
mann. They also washed out 25cts
worth of colors that had gathered ct
the end Of the pipe and in the faucet.
This water pipe comes from an old
tunnel on the Bonanza King property
and the bits of quartz that drifted
down it and clogged the fiow of wa ter.

Trees for the Desert.

Senator Nixon has succeeded In In
teresting the Department of Agricul-
ture in an attempt to find out if trees
can be grown on desert land without
irrigation. The department has ar
ranged with a British Forest officer in
South India to supply the Department
of Agriculture with seeds of the "Deo-
dar," which is a South India cedar
tree. The first experiment will be
tried in Las Vegas, Lincoln county,
Nevada.

Got Gold Nuggets for Water.

Though it has long been known
that gold is plentiful in Humboldt
county, it has not been definitely
known that nuggets flow through the
water pipes until today, when word
was brought from Spring Valley to
this effect. Mrs. Slater, a young wo-
man who went to that place few
weeks ago to teach school, turned on
the water faucet yesterday morning
when bright gold nugget rolled out.
Several bright particles of fine gold
also accompanied it. 1t is believed
the metal came from rich placer
ground located close to the water sup
ply"
The above dispatch, which was sent
to the Reno Journal from Winnemucca
has been verified to US this week by
two parties. First was Geo. W. Dyke,
one of the school trustees, who was
in from Spring Valley Tuesday.
When asked what he knew about it,
Mr.. Dyke replied:
"Why certainly it's SO. Talk about
Gold! Why its everywhere out there.
We have t. feed our chickens and
turkeys on the concentrated acids and
cyanide of potassium to dissolve the
gold they get in their craws and keep
them from dying with the 'roup."

1t was narrow escape for the little
chap. Had the force of the blow
been little higher up it surely would
have been fatal. The horse that
dealt it was a gentle old animal, be-

The following dispatch from Rapid

the Sioux Falls Argus Leader;
IS +. Bunker "A real estate man OF
Yankton, states that he is practically
satisfied that the Milwaukee railroad Is
the owner of the Missouri River *
North western road from Rapid to Mys-
tic. and that it is the intention OF the
company to build from Mystic into
northeastern Wyoming for the purpose
of opening up the immense coal helds
and the oil country in that region. Ii
such is the case, the road will connect at
that point with the western branch OF
the Milwaukee now being built rom
Eyarts. Mr.. Bunker is also authority
for the statement that the Milwaukee is
pushing its westward construction on the
Chamberlain line so rapidly that II WIN
doubtless reach Rapid City before the
first of next January, which is the date
now set for the completion OF the road.
The steam track layer has begun TO lay
rails west Of Presho and is now putting
down steel at the rate of about two miles
a day. 1t is expected to have the cars
running into Murdo by July first. be-
tween Murdo and Rapid City there Is
but little grading completed, but there
are numerous camps along the line OF

THE MICA FACTORY.

This industry in Custer is now fairly
under way and the force of boys and
girls making application for employment
in the factory is daily increasing. We
looked in upon them the other day and
1t was pleasure to see them at their
work. This work is clean and pleasant
and not irksome and hard, as istoo often
the case where employment is found for
children. Notwithstanding the applica-
tlons are increasing daily there is plenty
room for more, as the Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing Company are
rushed with business and are in need OF
greater supply of prepared mica for
Immediate use. There has been an OBJ
lection made on the part ofsome parents
that the wages We're too low, but THE
arises we think from amisunderstandin
Of the real situation
1t is understood that the pay of new
beginners is based upon the rate OF go
cents per day but 1t does not follow that
that is the limit Of what a boy or girl
may earn if they show an aptitude for
the work. As a matter Of fact we are
told, and it is reasonable TO believe it to
be true, that the children do not earn at
the beginning more than about one half
OF what they receive for their work. But
this the company expects and is prepar-
ed to stand, as the children with practice
soon become more efficient As they in
crease in efficiency they are given piece
work, and those who become expert in
the business can earn as high az u 90
and more per day, and this for a boy or
girl TO earn is very good indeed.
The managers of the work are nice
men, some Of whom have brought their
families with them and are living in Gus
ter. The two young ladies who have
been sent here from the central estab-
lishment in Pittsburg are experts in the
business, stand high in character, in ed
ucation, and in lady like department.
For these reasons we expect to see as
the DAYS advance a greater interest
manifested, both or the part of parents
and children, in the town and the sur
rounding district. Back east in their
other factories, these situations are con
sidered so desirable that applications are
sent in sometimes three months ahead
so as to make sure Of place when a va
cancy occurs. 1t is much better business
for boys than roaming the back streets
and breaking the glass out of vacant
houses, and much better occupation for
girls than playing with the cat and driv,
ing the cows out of the garden patch.
Thirty-tWo o boys and girlsare now on the
payroll and l20 more are required i'm
mediately. Within the next three
months 100 more will be employed, pro-
vided chat many can be secured.

The Lead Tribune is informed that
work will be resumed in the near future
at the old Standby mine and mill near
rockford. The new air compressor has
been set up and everything in the mine
is practically ready for the start. Devel
oping of the ore will continue by drifts
for five or six weeks until there is suffi
cient quantity ahead, when the mill will
be started, The Standby is owned by
j. b. Baker, Mr.. Rumsey Of New York
and Y. L. Price of Rapid. There are
seventy five patented acres Of ground
through which run three distinct ore
bodies that in the past have been sue
cessfuly and proftably treated The
Standby is one of the oldest mines in
the Hills and it yet seems to have good
future
