HORSE HYDRoPHoBIA vIornf.
Rare Case b Reported from Day
County,

VI
One OF the few cases Of horses dying
from hydrophobia is reported from
Day county. A horse belonging to Al
fred Peterson, a we'll known farmer OF
that county, was victim OF the dis
ease.
When DR. Sorbel, a veterinary sur
geon. arrived on the scene in answer
to a request from the owner of the
animal, he found the horse securely
tied so it could not harm anyone
When approached the animal went In
to perfect rage, kicking, striling, and
trying to bite. Satisfied that the ami
NAL had hydrophobia. the doctor man
aged with difficulty to place pail OF
water within its reach, and the inabil-
ity of the horse to swallow and the ac-
ton OF its mouth confirmed this be-
lief
The animal was then quickly put
out of misery. Last winter mad dog
which passed through the neighbor-
hood bit two Of Mr.. Peterson's sheep
and also nipped the horse. One or
the sheep died soon after being bitten,
while the other butted himself to
death against the hub of wagon
wheel. The strange feature of the
case is the period OF time which
elapsed before the horse developed hy-
drophobia. -s..

NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A con-
pENsED FORM.
Two Linemen KiIled--Current Is Turn
ed Through Wire with Which Ihey
Are Connected on Pole and Both
Fail to the Ground Dead.

Late Saturday afternoon while en-
gagged In working upon a telephone

Charles Pollock and r. f. Homeroerg,
experienced linemen, were killed py
coming into contact with live wire.
1t develops that the two men were
in the employ of the Citizens Teie-
phone company. At the time they were
electrocuted they were up on a tele-
phone pole about twenty-five feet from
the ground They had thrown tele-
phone guy wire over an electric llght
wire a short distance away, and had
left it and gone to the next pole down
the street, up. which they climbed with
the other end of the wire. In the
meantime a current of electricity was
turned through the electric company's
line for the purpose of making the
daily test of the wire to see II ii was
in proper working order. The deadly
current passed through the bodies OF
both men. With screams they fell to
the ground dead. A total OF five thou
sand volts of electricity was going
through the electric light wires at the
time. The men were comparative
strangers in Sioux Falls. One of them,
1t is known, came from Kansas City.
Both were about % or 26 years of age,
and, so far as known, were uhmar-
ried.

EXPRESS COMPANY is BEATEN.
Important Ruling I'm South Dakota
Case

In the suit instituted by the United
States Express company in accordance
with Instructions from Thos. c. Platt,
president of the company, and was for
the purpose OF preventing an order is
sued by the railroad commissioners
from going into effect, Judge Garland.
in the United States court at Sioux
Falls, decided against the company.
The express company did not wish
to assume the responsibility Of holding
in its office over night the money
which a bank rendered it for ship
ment to towns near Aberdeen, and re-
fused to accept it unless the money
was taken to it's Office before the trains
LETT in the morning. The express COM
pany contended that to properly and
safely care for the money over night
it would be necessary for it to provide
a safe, costing $1,250, and a night
watchman at a cost of $50 per month
additional.
The decision OF Judge Garland
grants a stay of thirty days of pro-
ceedings subsequent to the entry Of
the order SO the express company may
appeal the case should it SO desire.

Farmer Seriously Injured, with No

Hans Kingslein, a Hamlin county
farmer, had a terrible experience as
the result of being pinioned by rock
while at work on his farm.
His son had been aiding in the work
of burying rock, but toward evening
returned home, the father expecting
to follow him as soon as he had fin
ished digging a hole for a huge rock.
A few minutes after the son had dis
appeared the rock suddenly topplcd
over into the hole in which Kingslein
was working, striking him and shat
tering the bone in one Of his legs and
pinioning him in the excavation.
After a great deal of difficulty the
farmer succeeded in releasing himself,
but discovered that owing to his in
jured limb he was unable to walk.
Early in the evening the members
of his family became alarmed at his
non-appearance. searched all night
for him, but without success. The
search was resumed in the morning,

Federal Court Sustains the Board OF
Trade Contracts.
The United States circuit court OF
appeals handed down a decision
Thursday upholding the validity Of
contracts for the purchase or sale OF
grain for future delivery as it is prac-
ticed by the Chicago board of trade
and the Merchants exchange Of St.
Louis. The case is that of Thomas
Cleage, Jr.. appellee. against w. H.
Laidley and others.
Cleage dealt in about 100000
bushels OF grain, and less than 2 per
cent was delivered. He testified that
he did not intend to deliver or receive
any grain under his contracts unless
forced to do SO in order to keep his
contracts from being closed out under
teh rules Of the board or the exchange.
The brokers to whom he became In
debted filed creditors petition in
bankruptcy. upon which Cleage was
adjudged to be a bankrupt. The bank
ruptcy was assailed on the ground
that Cleage was not legally indebted
to any Of the alleged creditors for the
reason that their claims against him
were grounded upon wager agree
ments and were therefore void. The
court holds that the evidence did not
disclose purpose to settle the OBJ
legation of his contracts by paying to
or receiving from the other parties
thereto the difference between the
contract prices and the market prices
at the time of delivery and did not
mako ste transactions wagers and

GRADERS FAR BEHIND.
Black Hills Extension May Not Be
Finished for Year.

A railroad contractor gives his opin-
ion that the cars will not be running
across the reservation into the Black
Hills before next year this time. The
general impression is by those not in
formed that the road will be finished
some time this winter and 1t Is costing
many people considerable hardship for
they are moving out there with the
idea that the cars will soon be run
ninS across the country.
The contractor states that the Mil
waukee is no farther advanced than
the Northwestern. He states that
work on the big bridge at Pierre is
progressing and that 1t will probably
be done as soon as the road Is built
west to Rapid City.
