Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1907-01-24

Standing in line in front OF the
Miners Union hall at Terry the strik-
ing miners of the Terry Peak union
received Friday the first installment Of
the strike benefit from the Western
Federation of Miners. So many men
have left the country since this strike
was called that the line was much
shorter than had been expected. Sim
gelmen re ceive 50 a week; men with
wives and no children receive 81, and
those with wives and children receive
from 81 to $40. All the members of
the union not working and III good
standing are entitled TO draw this
weekly sum, so short a time has the
strike been on that as yet it has not
been felt much, although dozens of
men are leaving, and the principal
merchants are contemplating packing
up and shipping their goods out of the
country at an early date.
While at work in a blacksmith shop
which lie has on his farm, Joseph Ordal
a Minnehaha county farmer, had a
miraculous escape from death last Sat-
urday. He was occupied in the work
of hammering out a hot iron when
sparks from the iron set fire TO and
exploded four pounds of blasting powder
which was in a drawer i'll a bench,
Immediately beside where he was work
ing. Holes were blown through two
sides of the building, and the bench
was blown to antoms. The shop was
filed with pieces of iron, bolts, tools,
ETC., blown in every direction by the
force of tine explosion. Ordal's face
was powder burned and he was badly
injured; it is regarded as a miracle that
he was not instantly killed.
Mrs Louise Sick died last week as a
result of a fall downstairs at her
home five miles south Of James. AS
she was decending the stairs she slipped
and fell to the bottom. 1t was not at
first thought that she was badly injured
and she walked upstairs TO bed without
assistance. She scarcely had reached
her room, however, when she was
taken with a sudden sinking spell and
died almost Immediately. Physicians
attribute the cause of her death to heart
failure, brought on by the shock of the
fall. Mrs. Sick was thirty-eight years
old and is survived by her husband and
six children.
South Dakota produced last year &c.
$50, 100 worth OF gold and 157 800 ounces
of silver during the year 1906.

Denver Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
Nov. 25-There was a very good
run of cattle at the local yards
last week, though only about
half as many as for same week
last year. On Monday prices
held up well but Tuesday and
Wednesday the supply was heavy
and prices lower. Late in the
week there was som reaction but
beef steers closed of about a
dime from the high point of the
proceeding week and cows 10 to
15c lower. Bulk of the good
steers offered sold at $3.50 to
S3.75 and COWS sold largely at
So. so to So. 10 if good. Medium
cows brought $500 to $3.50 and
poor thin cows sold from $500
down. Bulls held about steady
at $1.75 to 81. 25. Veals in good
demand and steady. Stock
calves lower. Feeders and stock
ers were in very good supply but
trade not very satisfactory. Some
sales late in the week looked
pretty nearly steady but others
were called fully a quarter low
er, the trade being very uneven.
Some good Routt county steers
sold at $3.85 fiat with bulk of
the fair to pretty good grades at
$500 to $3.70 and medium steers
at So. rs to $500. Receipts today
1,500 head. Market dull and
lower. Eastern markets report
heavy runs and prices off 10 to
15c at all points.
The hog supply was very good
last week. Demand was strong
and local packers paid high
prices in order to get the hogs to
come this way, sales here aver
aging considerably higher than
at river markets. The market
however, is sharply lower than a
week ago at all points and hogs
are selling here around $3.50 to
$4, 90, the low point in years.
The sheep demand was fair
but not urgent. There was a
very good supply on sale and
some business done at about
steady prices. Fat lambs sold at
$3.50, yearling wethers at $4.75,
ewes at $500 to $4. 10, and feed
ing lambs brought $5.25 freight
paid.
