going several miles the proposition of
running out into the Missouri river was
suggested. But just as they were leav.
ing the Vermillion river the launch ran
abreast of a large seine. In breaking
away from the net the boats propeller
was put out of business, thus rendering
the young men powerless to manage 1t.
The launch drifted down out in to the
Missouri river, and not until it had zone

escorts started to walk home-a dis

slow work, but they finally arrived back

about midnight. and after talking the
matter owe decided that they would

The weather during the week was most.
ly fair. and in the middle and lower Mis-.
souri, river counties there was practically
no rain. In some of the northeastern
counties there was a moderate amount of
rainfall on Monday. the 4th. and scattered
but generally light showers occurred on
Wednesday. The soil is amply moist. how
ever. and In some Of the extreme northern
counties east of the Missouri river some
low land continues very wet. There was
less than the usual amount Of sunshine
and on Wednesday and Thursday high
s~outherly to westerly winds prevailed.
especially over the northern districts.
The fore part OF the week was favorably
warm, but q portion OF the latter part
was rather cool for the time in the season,
more particularly. at night. Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday were generally
maximum temperature anged from Is to
s. degrees, and the temperature ON Sunday
was favorable.
Aside from the high winds, and the too
wet condition OF low land in some northern

favorable growing weather prevailed.
though the high wind was rather unfavor
able.

production.
chased a very rich mica mine %
four miles west OF Custer, and paid a
large sun for 1t. Because the duty is
so high on mica between Canada and
the United States. the. Westinghouse
people have decided to establish their
most extensive factories in the United
States. Beyond every Duh the Black
Hills district is very rich in deposits
OF gold. copper. tin and mica. Reliable
men and concerns are finding this to
be a fact.
Heretofore companies attempting to
take mica from this district have re-
lied upon h markets for their profit
on the product. but the Westinghouse
people are able to use all the mica
that thousands Of employees a pre-
pare. Since the LIST of last May this
company has been operating a mica
factory In this city. under the uper-
vision OF Frank Meyers. their original
ACPA ACtS. XNhs MxCySlS OCe
gan operations with fifteen boys as
trimincrs. Now they occupy two large
store buildings and employ about 100
boys n girls. They have been using
mica from their new mine. and their
experts say hat 1t is the finest and
easiest splitting mica they ever worked.
and 1t will likely give best results for
their uses Of it. They use the mica
chiefly for insulating purposes. One
expert splitter split a book of the Black
Hills mica thinner than one-fourth of
one-thousandth of one inch in thick
ness. This is as thin as mica can pos
sibly be split.
George Westinghouse will probably
arrive here before the 1st of July, ac-
companied by j. w. Longmore. the
company's purchasing agent. 1t is ex-
pected that they will Immediately pur-
chase a site for a large factory build

They expect to accommodate about
400 employees when the factory gets in
full swing. AT present they have a
force of men at work in the mine. and

The above pathetic little tote was
found in the dress of Mrs. Lucy john
short months. who succeeded in COM
uniting suicide by taking chloroform
last night at the home Of herself and
husband in this city. Mystery sur
rounds the causes that led up to the
girls suicide. but the decision Of Cor
oner Miller to hold an inquest may
throw further light on he cause Of the
tragedy.
The mother of the girl, while physi-
clans were ~endeavoring to bring her
daughter back to life. attempted to de-
stroy the note left by the daughter
She coute the idea of suicide and
~endeavored to convince the authorities
and %neighbors who had hurried to the
scene that her daughter, whom she al
legged had suffered with the toothache
had by accident taken an overdose OF
chloroform.
A two-ounce bottle. which had con-
tanned chloroform. was found near the
body OF the young woman.
Her parents conduct a boarding
house and 1t was there she first met
her husband, who was a boarder. Mar.
riage was proposed, n the girl APP
peared quite anxious to become the
wife Of Johnson. who has been working
Tor the local water company and al
street grading.
The parents Of the girl objected to
the marriage, but this was of no avail
trouble of some nature recently arose
between the couple. and it was known
that johnson had threatened to enlist
In the service of the United States. The
immediate cause OF the suicide is a
mystery which only Johnson himself
can reveal.
