STORM DOES DAMAGE
IN THE BLACK hills

Swept Away in Cloud
burst Near Custer.
TRAIN NEARLY WRECKED
Quick Action on Part of Enginec,
Saved Burlington Passenger from
Going Down in Swirl
ing Flood.

Custer, S. D. July ia terrific cleo
trio storm, accompanied by a cloud"
burst, swept this vicinity yesterday,
causing the highest flood hat ever
swept the French creek valley since
white men settled here. Although the
water is still high, many Of the disas-
trous effects a be seen. One house
was struck by lightning. Mrs. Nevin
and her Sister-in-laW were stunned by
the shock, but no one was seriously in
jured. Several dwellings were dam
aged, barns and ~outhouses We're swept
completely away, and every wagon
bridge for miles east and west from
here was torn away.
1t Is expected hat much damage was
done to the farms and ranches along
the French Creek valley, but as all
telephone connection has been destroyed
by lightning or water no report Of n
kind has yet reached town. Many who
have relatives or friends in these points
of danger are very anxious about their
welfare.
The Burlington passenger train was
delayed ar hour just out of town and
barely escaped a terrible wreck. The

The engine being half way over the
bridge when it began to give. The en-
selling his dangerous position in
the nick of time reversed the lever and
backed his train off just in time to es-
cape a pile-up in the ditch.
Ernest Hilbert. one of the section
hands, barely escaped death in the
flood. y
The damage to property in town will
probably reach several thousand dol
lars. 1t is impossible to estimate the
damage done to the farms down the
at present.

OLD FREIGHTER RISES !,
FROM WATERY GRAVE
North Alabama, Sunk in Big Muddy
Below Vermillion in 1870, Appears
Above Surface of Waters.

Vermillion, S. D., July 13.-The river
steamer North Alabama, which struck
& snag in the Missouri six miles below
Vermillion thirty-six years ago this
month and sank to the bottom OF the
treacherous stream, together with .
very valuable cargo, yesterday was
seen rising above h murky waters Of
the Big Muddy, and crowds Of sight
seers are f1ocking to the bank to see
the old boat hat has been stranded
for SO long.
The steamer sank in 1870 while,
transporting a cargo Of flour and
whisky from Sioux City to the Yell
lowstone district, and while the older
residents remember the incident of its
sinking, it had passed from their minds
until the old ship began to rise from
its watery grave.
There were fifty barrels of fine old
whisky aboard the craft and none Of
1t was ever recovered, n it is quite
probable that a search Of the old
freighter will now be made in an at
tempt to find the liquor, which would
certainly look good to a lover Of that
thirst destroyer with its added age Of
thirty-SiX years.

UNCLE SAM RELENTLESS.
After Lapse of a Year Captures Mar

ATIeT Lapse OF a year captures wan
Whole Stole Mail Sack.
Aberdeen, S. D., July 16.-Deputy United
States Marshal Jerry Carleton has ar
rested Charles Tobias of Bradley, S. D.,
On the charge of robbing and burning
mail. The arrest was made at Bradley
and the prisoner brought here for exam
ination before the United States commits
sioner. Examination was waived and he
was held in the sum Of $1,000 to appear at
the September term Of court at Deadwood.
Failing to furnish bond, he was committed
to the county Jail in this city.
The mail sack was stolen a year ago
last February and since that time the
federal authorities have been on the watch
for the guilty person. Recently Tobias got
rid of some matter that was known to
nave: been in the stolen sack. and his
arrest followed. He doubtless believed
that Uncle Sam had long since forgotten
about the theft of the mail sack, but he
now discovered to his sorrow that the gov
never ceases to follow the trail
Vf persons guilty Of crimes in connection
with the postal department.
Tobias is an ex-circus performer who
located at Bradley about two years ago.
The stolen mail sack, after the robbery,
was found in the cellar Of a deserted
house. 1t had been rified of it's contents,
Including letters containing money, letters
containing money orders and registered
letters, and had been set on fire in an
effort to destroy the sack and prevent its
discovery and Identification.

FOOD COMMISSIONER
AFTER MEAT MARKETS
Small 'naugurates CampaigI
for Cleanliness and SAYS
He Means Business.
ARE WORST OFFENDERS
The Stigma the State Official AppI;ss
to Small Slaughter House, Which
Is Characterized as an Ideal
Place for Breeding Disease.

Webster, S. D., July Estate Food
and Dairy Commissioner E. w. Small,
of Webster, is taking steps for the
cleansing of all stock yards, slaughter
houses and meat markets in the state,
the commissioner being now Engaged
in calling on the chairman of the sew
eral boards of health in the state and
urging upon them the necessity of rigid
enforcement of all rules as to sanita-I
ton.
The slaughter houses are the worst
offenders against decent cleanliness, ac-,
cOrdlng to an extended investigation
which the state commissioner has just
made. They are generally found in
some remote place where the offensive
odors will not reach the own or any
farm house if possible, and because of
the disgusting odor they are never Wis
tied by anyone except the butchers, and
their calls are as short as possible. The
interior appliances OF the average small
slaughter house, says Mr.. Small. are
rarely if ever washed. the walls are
covered with blood, grease and filth,
which at this season attracts swarms
of flies, the adjoining pens and yards
are deep with filth, and the whole forms
an ideal breeding place for disease.
The stock yards at railroad stations,
While either whitewashed or painted, in
many instances are usually dirty and in
4 condition to spread contagious dis
eases among healthy cattle that may
be confined there; and the back rooms
and yards of the local meat markets
are often quite at variance with the
apparent cleanliness in front Of the
counters, says Mr.. Small.
All places where cattle are cOrraled
and where meat is prepared u be
regularly inspected, says the state COM
missioner, and he is determined to pro-
vide a clean meat supply for South
Dakota, SO far as the local stock yards, |
slaughter houses and markets are
concerned.

Canton, S. D., July 17.-General O.. O.
eral of the war Of the rebellion, deliv-
cred an address in the assembly audi
sorium before a large audience com
posed largely Of old soldiers and their
families yesterday afternoon. While
the general is well advanced in years,
he Is still vigorous and found no diff
Guilty in making himself heard or in
holding his audience. His address, was
q very clear and lucid description Of
the different formations and events of
the battles. While he lays no claim to
fowery oratory, he held his audience
~spellbound as he described the different
events In that awful period. In appear
ance a benign old gentleman, it was,
however, easy to distinguish the gen
eral and warrior as his eyes lighted up
with enthusiasm while describing the
scenes he had witnessed. His empty
sleeve did not detract from the impress
siveness Of the occasion.
When he had completed his address
the Sappho Ladies Quartet sang the
Spangled Banner, while the audi
led by the gallant old general,
arose to their feet and waved theiI
handkerchiefs. 1t was an impressive
occasion and more than one eye was
with tears.
A musical program was rendered
the speaking by the Sappho
Ladies' quartet. Miss Laura Bunting OF
Sioux City, Mrs. R%ingsdorf of Huron
and Miss Alice Stire, that lovable little
lady who has whistled herself into the
hearts Of all assembly attendants.

ment proceedings against Judge Moore Of
Lead were heard before Judge Rec of the
district court, who acted as referee. Pro-
ceedings Were begun several weeks ago

settlement with Judge Moore, and anothe.
client was put on the stand and testified

certain sum and was still owing him
money. Judge Rice as referee will for
ward his findings to the supreme court
for review and it IS believed tina Judge
Moore will be acquitted on all points.
