While riding around a pasture look
Ing for some of his cattle, George Da-
wilson, a member of what is known
as the Monticello colony, in the region
between the Missouri river and the
Black Hills. in western South Dakota,
had an interesting adventure with a
pack of coyotes.
Davidson unexpectedly came upon
a den of the snarling animals, which
strongly resented his intrusion and
Immediately showed fight. The col
onist was unarmed and e as hasty a
retreat as possible on his faithful little
Indian pony. The papa and maTnm
coyotes rave chase and the race con
tinued for many miles, or until the In
dian pony gave out, when Davidson
was compelled to dismount and engage
in a hand to hand fight with the fierce
animals, which he finally succeeded in
beating off.
During the encounter Davidson re-
ceived many cuts INT gashes from the
sharp teeth and claws of the coyotes,
but is rapidly recovering from the eff
fects of the strenuous battle. So far
as known this is the first instance in
the history of western South Dakota
of coyotes attacking anyone with the
persistence shown in this case.

AS the result of the arrest ana con-
fession of Erwin NJ. Hilton that ne ana
confederates had stolen gold precip-
itates from the Golden Reward MINING
company's mill in Deadwood a Whoie-
sale investigation is being made by
all the principal mining
that is likely to have startling dls-
closures. Thus far the Golden Reward
estimates that in the past few years
it has been robbed of over Sl4.0oo
worth of precipitates, which are easy
to carry off, and a ton of which goes as
high as 100000 when nearly pure
gold. The other mining companies are
figuring up various heavy losses by
theft, and a new system of guarding
the precipitates is to be inaugurated IN
all the Black Hills mills.
Hilton, who confessed to stealing
5000 worth from the Golden Reward,
waive a hearing before a magistrate
and went over to the grand jury IN
the sum of $4,000 bail, which so far
he had been unable to furnish. HIS
confession caused the arrest of Franz
L.. Thorpe, a Lead jeweler, to whom
he is alleged to nave disposed of some
of his stealings. The officers are still
looking for the others of Hilton's con-
fede ~ates for whom warrants are out,
but they have thus far eluded arrest.

The more cheerful tone of matters
financial is reflected in the reports of ex-
banding trade at large jobbing centers
on fall count. Conservatism in buy
ing is, however, still enforced by money
market conditions, and purchases are not
so large as they are numerous at many
markets. Relatively the best reports
came from leading northwestern and
southwestern %centers, which apparently
find crops turning out better than earlier
anticipated. One feature deserving atten-
ton is the reported less noteworthy buy
ing of complete new stocks of goods,
which is apparently a result of money
conditions. Quite a few cities report
trade as a whole ahead of the fall sea-
son of 1906, the crop outlook in those sec
tons no doubt influencing buying. Col

~calities, but as a whole are still slow

that a verdict of acquittal be returned.
This was done at nee without the ju-

was read and Blydenburgh walked out
OF the court room a free man.
Blydenburgh, who was a prominent
citizen of Eldora and a leader in
church work. was convicted after a
sensational trial in 1891 Of the murder
of his wife and sentenced to imprison-
ment for life. 1t was charged by the
state that he killed his wife by putting
poison In her Sunday dinner. Follow

MARCH OF THE G. A. r,
VETERANS PARADE THROUGH
SARATOGA N, Y.
Gov. UEhes and National Cf7cerA
Lend Line Through Blaze of Ma
tionnl Col6rs nnd Then Review

Martial music, the old wartime tunes
to which the soldiers of the Civil War
had marched in many campaigns,
awakened Saratoga at an early hour
Wednesday-the day of the parade of
the veterans who attended the national
encampment of the Granu Army of the
Republic. 1t was expected that $4,000
pIraders would be in line and the
weather, which was u%nfavorable in the
early morning, gave promise of bright
ening before the hour scheduled for the
start.
Significant Of the failing strength of
the veterans was the fact that the pa
radng distance was reduced to one
miie-the shortest ever fixed for the
national encampment. For the firA
time the parade was limited to men,
bers of the Grand Army instead of be-
ing open to all survivors of the war.
The national colors covered the
fronts Of buildings, were festooned at
every convenient point, strung in lows
at short intervals across h streets and
completely covered the interior of the
great convention hall, where the ses-
sions of the encampment were held.
Flag Recalls Gen. Grant.
One Of the features of the parade was
the presence Of a big flag which covered
the body Of Gen. Grant on it's way from
Mount McGregor to the tomb. In Gus.
tody Of the grenadier guard, command.
ed by Col. T.. NJ. Sterrett of st. Louis,
of which every man was over six feet
tall and each representing one of the
forty-five departments of the G.. A. R.,
this old flag brought up the extreme
rear, escorted by the whole parade and
being carried at last along the whole
line Of review.
AS planned, the national officers in
carriages with Gov. Charles E. Hughes
led the line, the chief of staff in com-
mand being ]. Cary Winans of Toledo.
The department of New York State. al
though entitled by seniority to fifth
place, selected as hosts the left of the
line, which included a representation Of
every department, including Alaska,
and of every branch of the service. The
parade was reviewed by Gov. Hughes
and the national officers of the G. A. r.
The days program began with 4 re-
ception at Congress hall, the New York
State headquarters, in honor of Gov.
Hughes at II 80 Il. III. At Il 80 lunch
con was served by the department Of
New York to the Governor, Commander
in Chief Robert B.. Brown and his staff,
past national officers, department COM
manders and the other distinguished
guests. Meanwhile there had been re-
unions of the various organizations.
The real business of the convention
began Thursday with the annual adj
dress of Commander Brown, reports
of officers and committees and election
of officers.
