MANHOOD.

MANHOOD.
Our country has new need OF men to-
day
Not such alone Us bravely may with
stand
The shock of battle or with strenuous
hand
open the paths of progress every way.
We give too much to Drawn and BODY;
they
Arc but the brute which evil may
command
No less than good. and so subvert the
land
They should support. the state in ruins
lay,
Not such alone, but men whose souls are
strong
To hate all evil and whateer betide,
To put all interest of self aside.
To shrink from public as from private
wrong.
From fortune reared on trickery and
lies,
Deeming too dear the goods dishonor
buys.

CURED near Joe Hare's ranch
between Hill City and Keystone.
He was driving along the road
a few rods from the house of
Mr.. Hare when suddenly the
wagon loaded with logs was
overturned throwing him be-
meath two tons of timber. Mr..
Hare with his sons Don and
Charles were at the house and
hearing his cries rushed to the
scene and soon extricated the
wounded man from beneath the
terrific weight. Every possible
thing was done for him but he
died in less than an hour from
ruptures of various blood ves-
sells. Gene was a young man
of but twenty years and one who
was we'll liked as an excenant
young man. His parents live
near Hill City on Spring creek.

AMER1CUs THOMPSON BOUND
OVER THURSDAY
CHARLES SHARP NEARLY SHOT
Thompson Charged With Intent TO
Kill. Shot Went Close
to Sharp's Head.

At 9 o'clock Thursday morn
ing the assault with intent to
kill case of state against Thorn
son was brought up in Justice
Scribers court. It was alleged
by Charles Sharp that while
passing Thompson's house last
Saturday evening Thompson
set upon him and his nephew
with clubs and attempted to ef-
face them from the map. Mr..
Sharp further testified chat af-
ter taking the clubs away from
the old party he and his nephew
departed. Suddenly after they
had COTTON some Is or 80 yards
down the road there came the
crack Of a rifle and a bullet
lodged itself in a branch a few
inches above his ISharp's)
head. Looking around he saw
Thompson standing in the yard
with a smoking rifle in his hand.
This testimony was substanti-
ated by Scott, Sharp's nephew.
Gay Bump testified that
Thompson had made threats
against the life Of Sharp.
After some short arguments
by attorney Bangs for the de-
fendent and Attorney Buell. for
the state Judge Scriber bound
defendant over to appear at the
next term of the circuit court.
The bond was fixed at $500.
Mr.. Thompson though a
man along in years bears the
reputation Of being something
OF a scrapper down in his neigh
borhood. Certainly he makes a
striking picture Of the typical
frontiersman with his wide
brimmed hat and rugged fea-
lures. Sitting by the side Of his
counsel, his gray eyes, snapping
with fire at the merclless testi-
mony against him, he reminded
one Of the days Of early
Dakota. He seemed to have
stepped into the 1906 pic
ture that presented itself in
Justice court, from some of
Coopers tales.

Rapid City Day at the
: Springs

The annual outing Of the
Rapid Cltians at Hot SPRINGS
on July 18th and 10Th proved
to be the most enjoyable event
Of the season.
On Saturday evening the de-
pot platform was thronged with
an enthusiastic crowd Of gayly
dressed pleasure seekers an
xiously awaiting the arrival Of
the North Western special.
At 8o'clock the train load Of
excursionists, happy in the an
ticipation of the promised plea
sures, left the depot and after a
three hours ride the dazzeling
.brilliancy Of the Evans loomed
up through the surrounding
darkness and welcomed the
merry travellers beneath it's
roof.
A repose Of some twelve
hours or more brought renewed
strength and vigor to the Wis
itors and the gentle rainfall of
the previous evening added
freshness and fragrance to the
abundance Of verdure which
crowns the cliffs and clothes
the wales Of this beautiful sum-
mer resort.
The far famed plunge bath
was the center Of attraction dur
ing the earlier part Of the day;
the ripping Of it's clear pure
water from the moss covered
rocks proved an allurement
alike for young and old and for
hours together it was the scene
Of unconfined JOY and merri-
ment.
Sundays ball game between
Hot Springs and Rapid City
was a decided walk-away for the
former, especially after the sew
enth inning when a series Of
wild throws gave the Springs
seven runs. The evening was
spent amid the strains Of the
softest music.
Sundays events we're repeat
ed on Monday with little change
The ball game was the reverse
of the previous days game, the
sturdy athletes from Rapid
proved to strong for their op-
ponents and a glorious victory
resulted. On Tuesday morning
the Rapid City representatives
partook for the last time this
year of the lnxuries Of the Evans
and returned home much fati-
gued but highly pleased with
the treatment accorded them at
the Springs.

wonderous natural beauty and grandeur
Mysterious Accident

A man giving his name as
Charles johnson was found ly-
ing nearly unconscious and Sc
verely wounded near the tracks
on Fifth street, Monday night.
His cries Of pam aroused the
people in that vicinity about
midnight. Those to arrive first
upon the scene were w. S.
Stewart and E. S. johnson.
They found the man lying in a
pool Of blood which was flowing
copiously from a wound in his
right arm. After he was re-
moved to a place where he
would have rest and care, three
doctors made an examination
of his hurts. These consisted
of several minor bruises about
the head and body and a COM
pound fracture OF the right arm.
johnson tells a vague and novel
story Of how he and his partner
were walking down the track in
the evening about eleven
O'Clock. They had just drawn
three months wages that day
and were careless and free and
happy as anyone should be on
pay day.
"Were you intoxicated9" A
Union man asked undelicately.
"No [ was sober, but my
partner was some inflated" was
the unhesitating reply.
Then he went on to tell how
he and his pal had been follow
ed all day by two suspicious
looking characters. These
strangers showed undue famil-
iarity and even made inquiry as
to the amount of money they
had received from their en-
ployers.
johnson remembered walking
down the track with his part
ner; he says the latter went to
sleep and that he saw two men
coming his way. After that he
was totally unaware Of what
transpired. The only conclu-
sion is that he was knocked into
an unconscious stupor by a
sand bag and then thrown.
against a moving engine and
in the mean time relieved Of his
money.
Johnson's stories are so con-
ficting and some details SO inn
probable that the truth of the
whole affair is shroudedln mys-
terry.
AS yet no arrests have been
made but q careful watch is be-
ing kept for any one who might
fulfill the description.

Barn Totally Destroyed

At about 1870 Tuesday a
barn belonging to III. III. Reeves
just across the street from the
court house was completely de-
stroyed by fire.
The cause is generally at
tribnted to matches and. child
rem. By the time the fire de-
partments arrived the fire had
gained SO much headway that
all efforts to save it were futile.
The barn was leased to the
Milwaukee company and was
used by their contractors for
