SWORD Is Believed 20 rave Been SdT-
ried by Early Explorer.
A. w. Drew, a rancher residing on
Antelope creek, in the northwestern
part of South Dakota, in the great cat
tie range region of the state, made a
curious find" in the form Of the blade
of an old-fashioned sword or cutlass.
The blade has the appearance OF
having lain where 1t was found for a
period of seventy-fve or n hundred
years. 1t Is wider that the ordinary
sword blade of the present day and
has a greater curve. The handle Is
gone, but the blade shows there were
four rivets there at one time. Near
the handle end the following inscrip-
ton was stamped: II. Gilpin, "a"
Whether this was the nam Of the
maker or the owner is merely a mat
ter of conjecture. 1t is the opinion OF
some that the sword was lost by some
of thS exploring parties which crossed
the continent In the early part of the
last century-perhaps some of the AS
toria parties.
The blade was evidently madt of the
finest steel, as 1t has a good temper
even now, after having laid out and
being exposed to the elements for no
man knows how long.

Domestic Help Gets Scarce at Dead
wood.
Because Dan Cupid has invaded the
ranks of the domestic help in Dead
wood m~atrons are nearly frantic with
despair. The work Of the little love
god has been so thorough that there
Is hardly a desirable housemaid or
cook left in the city, and appeals to
outsiders have proved futile.
A glance at the marriage record for
July shows that a large per cent OF
the brides were domestics employed
in the houses here. Still other girls
who are regarded as the most skillful
of help and regular household treas
ures'' have served notice on their en-
ployers that they, too, are going to be
married. Each day the newspapers
contain new want ads for domestic
help, but the answer are few.
1t is an actual fact that the best
families in town are seriously con
sidering giving up their homes for
flats rather than continue to worry
over the problem of how to get a
servant.

In spite of the fact that more than

in Huron durin gthe last few months,
the demand for comfortable residences
does not diminish. The Commercial
club and the investment and loan
companies are doing their utmost to
relieve conditions and secure homes
for the large number of people COM

ton here by the Northwestern railway
company of an immense roundhouse
and shops brings to the city a o

Huron their permanent abode. Be-
sides this, a large influx of citizens
from eastern and southeastern states
creates a demand for homes v be-

situation at this time is serious, but
is likely to be relieved soon by the

WAR To HATP|N
DECLARED
pscial Correspondence to The Press

special COffeepo0deuce TO Tne FreSo
NEW YORK, Aug. S.-War to
the hatpin has been declared by
girl strikers in upper New York
against the strike breakers who
have taken their places, and the
promise of battle is a pleasing di-
version from the Black Hand and
Armenian plots that have filled the
papers.
The strike occurred 2 months
ago in the white goods factory of
Rather Bros, where they make
corset covers and a lot of other
strange things. Gradually the firm
assembled a new force of workers,
much to the disgust of the pretty
strikers picketing the plant.
This feeling led to a lively Skin
mish a few days ago. A crowd of
strikers followed party of strike
breakers into an elevated train.
The belligerents exchanged con-
temptuous looks and then some
spiteful remarks. Words failing to
express their feelings, the opposing
sides reached for each others Mar
eel waves. Cries of rage and pain
and fragments of feminine finery
filled the air. A lone man guard of
the strike breakers attempted to
separate the fighters, but was
promptly knocked out by husky
male passenger.
The fight went on without inter
ruption until the next station was
reached There a force of police,
attracted by the alarm whistle
blown by the motorman, placed
3 of the battlers under arrest. In
court they were released with a
warning to keep the peace.
The strike continues, with the
factory in a state of seige.
