Both CIafin and Herrod are Southern
California boys who showed lot OF
speed but not quite enough knowledge
of the game to break into big league
company. They had been practicing
with the team for some days past.
The release of Schoheld came as
surprise to the followers OF the game

fore In a half hour the field was
flooded for fare-ye-well, and no ball
player dared take chance there with
out a motor boat. AS the management
had failed to supply this necessary
adjunct the practice stunt was called
off for today.
Though the Seals did not have
chance to chase the leather around the
lot they had a lot of fun doing hot foot
stunts on the road. Most Of them ran
from the ball park into town. a distance
of about two miles. This little sprint
helped some, as it took off some of the

finish will win
The mechanical branch of the Asso-
citation of Licensed Automobile Manu-
facturers has just issued to its men,
bers report on materials which have
been tested and experimental upon at
the Hartford laboratory in the past
year; also the complete specifications
for various kinds of steel which have
been found to be most desirable for
specific parts of automobile construc-
tion. Vanadium, which is just becom-
Ing known to some manufacturers, has
been under experiment. Many of the
members have been using vanadium
steels for over year, but only since
the elaborate tests which have been
made by the associations metaliurgical
force has the recommendation and
adoption been general The expert
ments have proved the desirability of
this metal for special parts of auto
mobile construction.
The H. H. Franklin Manufacturing
Company is shipping seventy-two cars
a week, a large percentage of which
are the type D Franklins, with a con-
siderable number of the six-cylinder

transcontinental car and the Chicago
New York record-breaker.

which manufactures the Pierce Great
Arrow, has established represents

the factory and the Paris representa-
tive of the departure of any customer

fed of the arrangement, and every
thing is done to facilitate his being
taken care of with the least trouble.
With the knowledge that lack of
preparation has been the main cause
of the defeat of American cars in the
Vanderbilt and other cup races in the
past, work has been commenced at the
plant of the E. r. Thomas Motor Com
pany at Buffalo on the remode1ing and
tuning up of the three big 115-horse-
power racing cars that will represent
that firm on the Long Island course
next fall.

Moir stands alone in the heavyweight
class in England at the present time,
as there is no man across the water,
apparently, who can make him extend
himself. He has gained in skill and in
hitting power recently and his foot
work is highly praised by the authori-
ties on boxing. There is desire to
see him in action with some of the
men in the second fight in this coun-
try. This would include Jack OBrien,
Hugo Kelly. Jack Johnson and others.
Moir's speed is shown by the fact that
he disposed of his latest opponent In 2
minutes and 40 seconds.

If past performances of the fighters
count for anything. the mill should be
of the hurricane sort. Both like to mix
it from the start and keep on boring in
until one or the other takes the count.
While Hyland has shown a trifle more
cleverness than his opponent, the East
ern boxer has a style that makes it
hard for an adversary to keep away
from him.
This will be the third meeting of the
pair. Thompson defeated Hyland at
Los Angeles on foul. Hyland later re-
versed the decision in Denver by win
ming at the end of twenty rounds.
Thompson will be seconded by Raw
hide Kelly. Young Bailey and Frank
McCloskey. Hyland's seconds will be
Frank Shuler, Dick Cullen, Rough

There will be ten-round prelimi-
nary between Caesar Atteil and the
Congo Coon. AS the patrons of boxing
favor getting home early after the
fight. the management will endeavor
to put on the main event soon after 8
o'clock.
Billy Nolan kept his word and did not
appear at the Tuxedo last night to talk
over the possibility of match between
Cans and Nelson, to take place in this
city on the Fourth of July. Ben Selig,
manager of Cans; Eddie Graney, who
wishes to promote the contest; Tex
Rickard, the Nevada promoter, and a
gathering of sporting men waited in
the rear of the Tuxedo for his appear
ance, but they waited In vain. Nolan
had announced on Sunday night that
as long as Selig insisted on Cans
weighing 1873 pounds ringside without
his fighting togs 1t was useless to dis
cuSS a match.

THE STATE
Over 10000 Acres Of Government
Land Taken Up.

The reports from the land Offices Of
the state to the state auditor show
that new lands were added TO the tax
able property in the state through
final proof in all but a half dozen
counties the past year. Many of the
other older counties of the state show
that there is but little land left in
them in which the title is in the gov
eminent. The Mitchell Office shows
that it is about at the end of its exis,
tence, as there were but fifty-seveD
proofs in that district outside Gregory
county, which was attached to that
district at the time of its opening.
While Lyman county leads, this year
will be the heavy One for that county,
and next year Stanley county will be
to the front as the big one, with the
numbers of proofs which are being
made this summer
These proofs will place over $780,.
900 acres of new land on the assess
ment rolls, which at an average as
sessment rate of S. an acre will mean
an increase of over So, 500, 600 on the
real estate valuation of the state for
the year.

MRS. KAUFMAN
IS FOUND GUILTY
MANSlAUGHTER IN THE FIRST
DEGREE is VERDICT OF THE
JURY.
GREAT SHOCK TO DEFENDANT

Flandreau, s. D., June 22.-Mrs. EN-.
ma Kaufman, wife Of Moses Kauf-
mann, for years a wealthy Sioux Falls
brewer, on trial in the circuit court
here for the past ten days, charged
with the murder Of Agnes Polreis, her
sixteen-year-old servant girl, last night
was found guilty of manslaughter in
the first degree. The conviction of
Mrs. Kaufman was a great shock to
the defendant, her husband, her son
and her counsel, all of whom had con-
fdently expected acquittal. When the
fatal words fell from the lips of the
foreman of the jury, Mrs. Kaufmana's
head sank upon her hands.
Asks for New Trial.
Counsel for the defense gave notice
that a new trial will be applied for.
This will be argued before Judge
Smith at Yankton Oct. 10, who has
set Oct. 81 as the date for passing
sentence in the event a new trial
should be denied. The bond of $25 900
furnished last June will stand, and
meantime Mrs. Kaufman will be at
liberty.

Improved Crop Conditions.

Crop conditions in Sphinx county
have materially improved during the
past two weeks. The average tenn
perature has been considerably higher
and the rise in the temperature has
been accompanied by several warm
rains. Wheat is in a fine condition,
and, although not quite so far ad-
vanced as usual at this time OF the
year, the general appearance OF the
small grain crop has never been bet
ter. The warm weather of the past
few days has brought on the corn
amazingly, and farmers are beginning
to expect a fairly good crop II the
season is at all favorable from now
on. Since the reports sent out from
Huron to the effect that the green
bugs we're working in the wheat
fields In that vicinity, many inspec'
lions save been made In this county,
but so far the bugs have made no ap-
pearance here.
