which were mixed cattle. and the
other made up exclusively Of Polled
Angus, which SOLD at a price OF S.. so

there we're 1900 cattle shipped into

Angus topped the whole bunch.

said that they could pick eleven
steers from the bunch which cold not
be beat anywhere ia this country, as
t hey we're as perfect a lot of animals
as they ever saw.
Mr.. Seaman said that these cattle
were all grown on his ranch at Run
ming Water and were raised on South
Dakota feed, and they we're a good
example OF what this state can pro-
duce by the proper care. That is a
mighty good record for this state

and there disturbed the slumbers of
the clerk Of courts.
MI. Cattrell wanted to know of
the impetOus bridegroom IL he could
not wait until morning for the IL
cense, but the vociferous mo" and
the pleading tones afterward had its
effect on the romantic side of the
clerk of courts, and he went down to
the office and issued the license, and
they repaired to the Norton residence
where Mr.. Bromwell and Miss Allen
were married about 8 O'Clock. They
drove back home and it is supposed
that they had a good surprise for
the Mt. Vernon people when they
awakened this morning. The cou-
pie said they came over here at that
time of night just to surprise the
home people.

The Vermillion Republican in COM
menting on the debate between the
State University and Dakota Wes-
leyan University OF this city. which
occurred last Friday evening at
Vermillion, has the following to say
Casting a unanimous ballot in
favor of the affirmative side of the
proposition, the judges in the debate
bewecn the U. S. d. and Dakota
Wesleyan teams at the chapel last
FRIDAY night, gave the decision to
the visiting debaters. While. ac-
cording to the compact arranged
between the two institutions pre-
vious to the debate. the judges we're
to lender a decision based solely on
the arguments presented at the de-
bate, it was a clear proposition IN
the minds Of a big majority that
last Friday night, that the decision
less bv favor Of a popular side, for
the announcement Of the decision of
the judges came as a surprise even to
some OF the visitors, in whose minds
there was not a shadow of a doubt
that the U. S. D. team would be the
winners. But even with The decision
OF the Judges rendered against them,
our bows have not the least ground
for feeling ~disheartened or ashamed.
Their arguments were nncontro-
verified. and they still stand as
winners, despite adverse judgment
Of record.
The Vermillion Republican gives
the judges very little credit for their
honest expression in awarding the
decision in tile debate, when it says
that they we're governed more or less
W the popular side OF the question,
instead OF icing controlled by the
arguments OF the proposition. Yer
million mas no kick coming on the

university was entitled to first choice
for negative or Affirmative, and they
chose the negative side and then
failed to make the argument suf-
ficiently convincing to the judges.
The "big majority' referred to as
being in favor Of the state university
being given the decision, was made
up of Vermillion people, except per-

DROWNED IN THE POND
Henry Lang Attempted to Swim
Across the Milwaukee Pond
Twice and Was Drowned.

Henry Lang, aged.50 years, went
to his death in the Milwaukee pond
Sunday afternoon about 30 O'Clock.
ln company with several parties he
went down to the pond at a point
about opposite the pest house, where
some parties were fishing, After
standing there a short time, the
conversation turned on swimming
feats. Lang expressed himself as
being quite d swimmer, referring to
the fact that he had been in the
Philippines and in Cuba and that he
could swim lost anything.
Whatever prompted him to do such
a fool hardy thing nobody seems to
know, but he started to swim across
the pond, a distance OF 300 or 400
feet. After divestng himself Of
his coat and removing his
shoes, Lang entered the water and
swan across to the pesthouse. He
stood on the bank a short time and
then attempted to swim back, and
that is where he met his death. In
coming back be waded out about Is
feet and. perhaps, with the exertion
Of swimming before and in walking
through the mud to reach deep
enough water il which to swim, he
became very tired. He hadn't got
fifty feet from the shore before it
became apparent to the men on the
bank that he was having trouble in
keeping his head above water. He
turned on his back and then over
again, with a portion Of his body out
Of the water. 1t seemed to he his
final struggle, for he went down and
the water closed over his form. The
men on the bank stated that he did
not appear again after he went down.
The drowning occasioned a great
deal Of excitement and as SOC as the
information spread up town several
hundred people rushed down to the
pond to watch the operation Of fish
ing for the body. A raft was made
in as short a time as possible and
with i've men on it they started out
into the stream and commenced fish
ing for the body of the unfortunate
man. After a search of an hour and
a half the hooks finally caught in
Lang's clothing and he was brought
to the surface. On reaching shore
the body was taken to the under
taking parlors of II. Noble.
Cornor Dundas impaneled a corners
jury later in the afternoon, COM
posed of George Like, X. S. Chris
Jensen and Elton Mckinley. The
evidence OF a number OF men was
given as they saw the incident from
the bank Of tie pon'. There was
nothing to show other than the MAI.
came to his death by accidental
drowning and the jury returned a
verdict on that basis.
Coroner Dundas stated that Lang
had a sister living at Winnipeg,
Manitoba, and he wired her at once
Of the death OF her brother. No
disposition will be made OF the body
until he hears FROM her.
Mr.. Lang has lived in Mitchell a
number Of years and has worked at
the carpenter trade a good share of
the time. His wife died several
years ago. and the sister at Winnipeg
is the only living relative so far as
known.

Mitchel's High School Athletes Made
a Fine Showing for Short Time
of Practice.

The rest of the high school ath-
letes arrived home from Vermillion
Saturday evening and they report
having had q fine time at the Uni
verslty town, the hospitality being
extended them was of the generous
sort and the boys feel deeply indebted
to the Vermillion people for all that
vas down for them.
Taking the fact into consideration
that the boys have had but very
little practice this season. they
made a record for their school OF
which they have every reason to be
proud. Coach Breckenridge has
worked the boys every possible day
and what they did do in the way of
training showed this effect in the
events In which Mitchell was entered.
Sheeks had practically ali OF the
running to do, and in each event he
made an excellent showing. In the
l00-yard foot race he run it to a tie
with Gage OF Sioux Falls, and lost
the 1un-o1 by only six inches. He
was second in the 1~2O-yard high hur-
dies, and Wallace, of Mitchell. fol-
lowed him in third place. Sheeks
won the running broad jump and
broke the state record. Porter also
broke a state record when he Won
the low hurdle race in 27A seconds.
