is companys License Enough for Sew
eral Agents.
A feature Of what is known as the
state peddlers license law which has
never been tested in the courts is to
be legally tested as the result of the
arrest in Meade county of G. O. Ad-
ans, a canvasser for buggy manu-
featuring concern.
Adams was one of several men in
the employ of the same concern who
were canvassing through Meade and
Brule counties. Under the state law
it is necessary for canvassers OF this
character to pay county license of
$50 The buggy concern did not at
tempt to evade the payment Of the
license, but took out one license.
Under this license several men were
placed in the field, and the question at
issue. and which has never been de-
cided by the courts, is as to whether
more than one individual representing
the same concern has the right under
the state law to operate under one
license.

FIGHT WAVES FOR AN HOUR
TWO FISHING YACHTS ARE CAP.
SIZED DURING A FIERCE
GALE.

Anglesea, N. j., July S1.-Two
yachts coming in from the fishing
banks caps1zed on Hereford inlet bar,
off here yesterday and eight persons
lost their lives. There were thirty
Two persons on one yacht, of whom
seven were drowned, and twelve on
the other, of whom all but one were
saved. That no more fell victims to
the rough sea was due to the heroism
of Capt Henry S. Ludlam of the Here
ford l1fesaving crew and his men All
the lost came from this vicinity.
Anglesea is one of the favorite fish
ing resorts on the Southern New Jer-
sey shore and had the usual Sunday
business yesterday.
Nora Turns Turtle.
The Nora had gone to Five Fathom
bank, about ten miles out to sea, early
in the day. When the wind began to
freshen Capt Shivers decided it was
time to make port. He knew how
treacherous is the Hereford bar and
approached it with caution The sand
obstruction is about a mile from shore
Just as he was about to go over it a
heavy squall struck the Nora. Despite
the efforts of the captain, the craft
keeled over and was hit by huge
wave. The wind and wave coming to-
gether was more than the yacht could
stand and it turned turtle, throwing
ne thirty-two occupants into the sea-
7ere was no time to help one an
CT, as 1t was all that the struggling
.nen could do to keep their heads
above the water. In the unequal fight
against the elements the struggling
men disappeared one by one until only
twenty-five were left
To the Rescue.
After hanging to the yacht for near
ly an hour, and as hope OF rescue had
almost been abandned. a government
life boat, commanded by Capt. Henry
S. Ludlam, managed to get close to
the capsized vessel and the survivors
were taken on board. The rescue was
most perilous, as the rough sea was
constantly pounding the life boat
against the yacht
Shortly after the survivors of the
Nora were brought ashore. another
yacht, the Alvin B., was seen to cap
size about a mile above the place
where the Nora went over. There
were several boats in the vicinity at
the time and all but one person was
saved.

MAN DEAD: COW STARVING.
Body of Farmer Is Found on Floor Of
His Barn.

His Barn.
Lying on the floor of barn a few
feet from a COW dying of starvation,
the dead body OF William Mulenbach,
a wealthy German farmer was found
in a badly decomposed condition by a
neighbor, Eugene Webb, who had
made a search for Mulenbach. fearing
he was sick and needed attention.
The dead man had not been seen for
three days, and the condition of the
body indicated that life had been ex-
tinct at least two days before it was
discovered. The coroner and sheriff
were notified by Webb, and they made
an investigation, but could find moth
ing leading to suspicion of murder
or suicide. They expressed the opin-
: ion that the man evidently was seized
RTsth heart failure and died soon after
enJSring the barn. An inquest was
not cfaemed necessary.
Mulenbach was widower and had
lived on d farm about three miles from
Aberdeen since 1881. He leaves two
daughters, Mrs. w. Sauck of Warner
and Mrs. Hardtke of Aberdeen.
