RA([ WITH DEATH
Young Rancher Wins Out by Sey.
eral Laps on an lmprovised
Track NearOW1 Buttes.

The Sturgis Press Of last
week contained the following
relative..to an experience Of a
young ranchman recently:
"Earl Gallent, a young man
employed by Phelan Phillips,
on his Rabbit creek ranch, was
brought to town last Saturday
and quartered at the CONNER
cial hotel where he has since
been receiving medical atten-
ton for his feet, both Of which
are in a serious condition from
having been frozen.
''Earl left the ranch on Satur-
day, the 18th, to come to Stur-
gis after Mr.. Phillips, and Sun
day afternoon, between the
hours of 3 and 4 o'clock, he
reached Owl Butte. The storm
which had been with him for
hours grew greatly worse and
the cold was increased. He
drove through the binding,
swirling snow till the team gave
out and till he had lost all
knowledge Of direction, and
then unhitched, hobbled and
turned loose the horses.
"Earl realized that the most
important thing he had on hand
was to endeavor to save his life.
He broke a circular track
around the wagon, through the
foot or more of snow, and then
began a race to distance death.
"Round and round the beaten
path he went-running, walk
ing or vigorously stamping, but
never ceasing, for he knew that
a relentless hand was ever
outstretched to sieze him. The
tired muscles begged a halt and
sleeplness tried to WOO him from
his purpose. Thas hecontinued
until Monday morning, when he
found his whereabouts and,
hitching up his team, drove
back twenty miles to Reddy
Hale's place, where everything
possible was done to ease his
sufferings till he could be
brought to town. Both his feet
are in bad condition"

JURY AWARDS NIECE $12, 900
IN NOTED CASE.
DAUGHTER OF KING WINS SHARE
Flora Belle Hollis, Daughter of
King, Awarded by the
Court the Residue of
Holdings,

The closing chapter of the
story Of the distribution of
Jerry Kings money was closed
this week by the circuit court Of
Pennington county. The first.
part Of the story at bar was a.
jury case, where twelve men
were to say whether or not the
niece Of Jerry King, Miss Cor
rine Ray was entitled to $12 900
in certificates OH the Penning
ton county Bank, now in her
possession rightfully belonged
to her. The evidence developed
that that her uncle Jerry King.
shortly before his death handed
this bunch of certificates to her
saying that this was her share
of the estate. These certificates
were not endorsed, ,andit was the
contention of the aaininistra-
tor that these certifi cates were
valueless by reason ofnot being
Endorsed and that King died in
testate. The jury, however,
rendered a verdict in favor Of
the plaintiff, Miss Ray award
ing her $1l 900 and interest as
her share of the estate which
pretty nearly covers tho $12, 900
in certificates Of deposit. I'm
fess the case is appeaIed, the
ceatificates will be paid to Miss
Ray by order of the colrt.
The daughter OF jerry King,
Mrs. Flora Belle BolIis, Of
Ellsworth, Maine, whose iden-
tlty was questioned By the adj
ministration, proved beyond
a reasonable doubt, her Identity,
one Of the exhibits to establish
her claim being a Black Hills
gold ring glvn her by her father
on his last visit to the old home
in the east coast state, upon the
inside Of which was engraved her
name and date and the inscrip-
ton "from her father. y Mrs.
Hollis also brought with her a
number of witnesses to fur
ther establish her claim and
identity as the daughter of5Jerry
King. The last chapter Of the
case was a trial before court,
which rendered a verdict in
favor Of plaintiff and awarding
her as the daughter Of Jerry
Of Jerry King, the remainder
Of his estate. This consists OF
banks deposits and real estate
in Rapid City to the value Of
4 upwards of $4,000.

IMPORTANT CHANGES TO Be MADE

The meeting Of the Rapid
City Commercial Club at the Of
fees Of Chauncy Wood Tuesday
night although limited as to
numbers, was a fairly good
meeting Of the representative
business men of Rapid City.
Since she meeting was prompt
arially called, SO to speak, as a
preliminary meeting to a reor-
ganization Of an organization
that means everything possible
to Rapid City and its interests
financially,it was we'll attended.
Reports were read by the sec
retary relative to the establish
ment Of u seminary here in the
Black Hills and the Rev. Case
and DR.. Van Buskirk and L. R.
Sharp were appointed a COM
mittee to present the claims Of
Rapid City. 1t goes without
saying that this city is the only
central and accessible point for
this seminary, and that the
committee will have very little
to do other than to ask on the
general grounds Of location.
A communication was also
read from the Nebraska Alfalfa
Products Company who desire
to establish a branch plant here
in the. alfalfa country. The prop
osition was referred to a COM
mittee consisting of A. j. Nc
Cain, John Farrar and John l..
Burke.
The advertising committee
one Of the most important in
the list was then selected andin-
this selection the best advertis-
ing talent in the city was named.
They we're G.. P. Cory, I. b..
EGoodner and Geo. L. McManus.
These gentlemen are especially
equipped for the business be-
fore them and they are already
making plans for an elaborate
program to advertise Rapid
City.
The future business home Of
the organization was then dis
cussed at some length, the final
result being the appointment Of
a committee to look after the
selection of suitable rooms for
the club. The committee named
was Judge McGee, Judge Soule
and +. b. Foss, editor Of the
Black Hills Union, and they
were instructed to make plans
and the cost thereof anent the
securing of rooms for the future
occupancy of the club. 1t is the
intention of this committee to
secure if possible a suite of
rooms on one Of the main thor
oughfares Of the city within the
business center, where prospec-
tive investors in Rapid City en-
terprises may have a reading
and writing and consultation
room in which they may make
their Office while in the city.
This room will be furnished and
equipped with a typewriter and
stationary and perhaps a stem
ographer. The files of leading

one Of the participants is said to
have had the side of his face

were the police notified, the par

to take their medicine without

CT Rolling Stock by Reason
of Increased Business

A dispatch dated at Cleve-

Cory, traffic manager Of the
Crouch Lines and signed bv
Supt. Crouch, is authority for
the statement that a fifty-thous-
and purchase of additional
equipment has been made of
rolling stock for the "Scenlc
Route. /" This purchase is a
result Of the local demand for
transportation of rock, lumber,
and stone along the Crouch
Lines in the hills. This increase
Of business has been pressing
the Crouch people for some
time with the result that the
management simply had to do
something to meet the demand
OF It's patrons. This moderate
order for rolling stock by the
way, is the first order Of the
kind coming exclusively from
a railway corporation in the
Hills country. The order in
cludes coal flats and box cars
and will be filled in a rush or

No Kissing in Church.

Twenty Ruthenian peasants belong
ing to Ispas, in Galicia, have been SEN
fenced to various terms of imprison-
ment from week to a month for kiss
ing each other in church.
A feud has arisen between two
parties in the town, and the priest
preached a sermon in which he urged
the peasants to make friends before
they came to church again. They took
him at his word, and on the following
Sunday the two hostile parties march
ed up the church side by side, and
kissed the altar. They then solemnly
shook hands and kissed one another
On both cheeks in the Polish fashion
to seal the reconciliation.
The kissing scene excited loud
laughter among the members Of the
congregation, and the priest prose
cuted the peasants for unseemly con-
duct in church. The court held that a
church is no place for kissing, and
found the peasants guilty. - Vienna
