VENERABLE ELK POINT.
Indications that 1t Existed as Early as
the Year 1855.

viz
Elk Point may now justly claim the
honor of being one Of the oldest settle
ments In the northwest. The journal
of Audubon, the great naturalist, con-
| tains distinct reference to Elk Point
In 1912 he stopped here, and, being
! about 70 years of age, asS'he stepped
from his boat he fell and sprained a
limb that made him limp the remain
der of his life. This reference to Elk
Point siXty-five years ago has been
long known and has been supposed un-
til just this summer to be the first au-
thentic reference to the place or local
ity.
In an interview with DOane Robin
son, secretary of the State Historical
society, a very interesting fact was
brought out which fixes a distinct ref
erence to Elk Point nearly century
earlier than the visit Of Audubon The
records of the Hudson Bay company
are preserved in England. and for that
reason have not been OF easy access to
American historians. This summer an
enterprising New York publisher sent
Agnes c. Laut, a competent author, to
England to search these records and
to compile whatever facts of interest
VI l1lcIt ne louiiu ICidllllS
to the early explorations of this enter
prising fur trading company through
the central and northern regions of
this continent. At Mr.. RobinsOn's re-
quest Miss Laut has furnished him
with copious notes relating to the re-
gion of the present state of South Da-
kota. Her researches will be publish
ed early the coming year, but we shall
h. h,, riNyiY,
our readers this very interesting ref
erence to Elk Point.
There has long been tradition that
the Hudson Bay company had trad
ing post at Elk Point; Miss Laut's re
searches establish it as a positive fact.
In 1855 q company of fur traders set
out from the north with the design of
establishing a line OF fur trading posts
along the valleys Of what is now
known as the Red River of the North
and the Sioux rivers to the juncture
Of the latter with the Missouri. Differ
ent localities along this route are de-
scribed under other than the present
names, OF course, but still definite
enough so that the location Of some of
these trading points can be regarded
as definite After references to what
is now Lake Kampeska and points on
the Sioux river, the southernmost post
established is referred to as ELK
Point, near the mouth Of the said
stream" Attention should be given to
the fact that they were working down
stream and that as soon as the Mis-
souri, river was reached (known as the
Missouri river even at that day. the
expedition came to an end. 1t is GER
tan then that these early day traders
only went as far as the junction of the
Sioux with the Missouri and that the
reference above was to the present
day Elk Point rather than to Sioux
City or any location below the Sioux
river.

is PICTURE OF OPULENCE.
VIII Made by Cassie Chadwick Before
Exposure of Her Career.

After the body of Mrs. Cassie l..
Chadwick was lowered into the grave
at her childhood home at Woodstock,
Ont, there was made public in Cleve
land, o., a will she had made two
years before her strange criminal ca
reer was exposed.
There was a remarkable contrast
between the pathetic funeral scene in
the little Canadian cemetery and the
picture told in the words of the will.
The will disposes of over $1,00O,0O0
worth of property The son, daughter
and husband, retinue of servants and
friends all share to the extent of hun
dreds of thousands. Charitable insti-
tutions, ten of them. come in to the
extent of $4,000 to 100000 each. In
every case of a bequest to an institu-
ton Mrs. Chadwick stipulated that she
should receive full credit, ordering the
funds named the "Chadwick memo
rial funds" and if buildings were
erected they were to be called Chad
wick" buildings.

IN SEARCH OF HOME.
Dakota Trains Are Still Crowded with
IandScckCrS.

Every train from the east and south
brings to Huron great numbers OF
landseekers. The traffic has been sim
ply enormous. Every train is loaded
to it's utmost capacity, and since the
first of October it is estimated that
not less than 1000 people have come
to that city. They are scattering over
the country in search of lands, while
the majority of them go west OF the
Missouri river. Very many are either
buying or taking government lands
within the limits Of the Huron district.
The opening Of the Lower Brule reser-
walton seems not to have decreased
the numbr of homeseekers. Not few
of those who hope to get land IN the
Brule reserve are in this locality seek
ing Investments Never in the history
of this part of the state have people
been so land hungry as at the present
time. The crowd is 50 great that no.
tells. boarding houses and restaurants
are taxed to their utmost capacity to
accommodate sojOurners.

IN 5o0-NiILE FLIGHT.
Signal Corps Balloon Wins the Lahm

Cup.
Swinging through the atmosphere at
a speed roughly estimated at twenty
two miles an hour the United States
signal corps balloon No. 10, in which
Aeronauts j. c. Mccoy and Capt. Chas.
Def. Chandler, OF the United States
signal corps, assembled at st. Louis
Thursday evening, passed over Illinois
and Indiana Thursday night, and
across Ohio Friday, and at nightfall
landed in the vicinity of Point Pleas
ant, w. Va. The distance covered on
a straight line measurement is approx
imately 500 miles, and the voyage won
for the aeronauts the Lahm cup
The Lahm cup was instituted by the
Aero Club of America soon after the
international races at Paris in 1906,
at which Lieut.. Frank Lahm won the
James Gordon Bennett cup for Amer
lea. So joyful were the members Of
the club at the victory that the cup
was named for the pilot of the balloon
United States" and it was put up by
the club to be won by the aeronaut
who Travelled by the United states" in
the Paris races, provided that start
was made from American soil.
Lieut.. Lahm has never held the cup,
and this was the first time 1t was ever
won.

PLANS FOR NEW LINE.
milwaukee Extension to Begin Service
October ~

Sunday, Oct. 81, is the date set for
the formal opening of the Chicago and
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroads,
new route across the state from Rapid
City to Chicago. G. B. Wiser the
commercial agent at Rapid City, ex-
poets the new schedule to arrive any
day. 1t is announced that for the
present but one train a day will run
each way via Chamberlain to Chicago,
minneapolis and St Paul. The run to
and from Chamberlain, 219 miles, will
be made by daylight to get a view OF
the famous Bad Lands, but later it Is.
the intention, if the business warrants,
to put on night train to the east.
The road is now practically all ballast
ed and work will cease in a few days
at the Oacoma gravel pit. The small
portion OF the track on the west end
which remains to be ballasted will re-
Ceive gravel from the Cheyenne river
pits this week. The Milwaukee is the
shortest route to Chicago from the
Black Hills. The establishment of
passenger service on the Milwaukee
lines means three through trains each
way daily between Rapid City and Chi
cago, Minneapolis and st. Paul, where
two months ago there was but one
each day.

TAFT AS PROPHET.
Says He VIII Likely Visit Manila in
Two Years as Private Citizen.

At banquet given In his honor in
Manila Secretary of War William Fl.
Taft made a most significant state
ment. He was referring to the fact
that he had already visited the Philip
pine islands three times, and in ex-
pressing his iptention to come here
again he said:
II hope in another two years to visit
MARIA again, but then I probably will
scGme as a private citizen"
The significance of Mr.. Taft's re-
mark in relation to the chances OF his
nomination for the presidency did not
seem to strike his audience. The Sec
retary's speech was received with
much enthusiasm by the representa-
tive Filipinos when he declared that
the government was anxious and ready
TO help the business prosperity of the
islands.
Saturday afternoon Secretary Taft
laid the cornerstone of the first per-
manent school house built in Manilf
under the American regime.

CASE AGAINST JIM HILL.
Venner Makes Appeal to Federal SUI
prcme Court.

An appeal in the supreme court of
the United States has been filed in
the suit OF Clarence II. Venner, of
New York, to compel James ]. Hill,
president of the Great Northern rail-
way. to restore to the plaintiff and 9TH
er stockholders the profit of 10000
600 which Hill is alleged 70 have made
by purchasing in 1900 and 1901, $685.
100000 worth of Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy railroad stock at an aver
age Of $3.50 a share and then selling
to his own company for $500 a share.
, The federal court of New York dis
missed the suit on the ground that the
plaintiff did not own his interest in
the Great Northern company at the
time the injury complained of occur
red. He asks to have the issue re-
manded to state court of New York
for trial.

ON TRAIL OF WILD MAN.
Two Hunters i'm Lyman County Get n
Glimpse OF Strange Individual.

SlDnpSe OF Strange INDIVIDUAL.
The vicinity of Zickrick, on White
river, has wild man mystery which is
stirring up the people of southern Ly-
man county. The strange individual
was seen few days ago by l.. r. Chal-
huth and Sam Kortney, two hunters
from Presho, who were in the White
liver country and were trailing a coy
ote along a ravine. AS they rounded a.
steep point they were surprised to find
bling down the hill upon them. Chal-
huth saw the earth coming in time to
escape, but kortney was partly buried
by 1t and badly scratched and bruised.
Chalhuth in looking up to find the.
cause Of the trouble saw standing on
the top of the bluff a wild looking.
long haired man, clothed in rags, and
fired at him, when the Wild man utter
ed yell and started to run. AS soon
as kOrtney was rescued from the
earth which partially buried him and
had sufficiently revived the hunters
took up the trail of the wild man, fol-
lowing it by drops Of blood, evident
" the result OF the shot fired by Chal-
huth, and found that it led to a thicket
Of plum bushes in a deep ravine near
White river. Here they found a bed
IF leaves and brush and scattered
about 1t the Cleanly picked bones of a
number of birds and small animals, in
diCating camp which had been oc-
cupied for long time, but could find
no further trace Of the man they were
trailing.

TAFT is UNDER CLOSE GUARD.
Great Precautions Taken by the Au-
thoritieS.

Great Precautions Taken by the Au-
thorities.
A report reached the local police of
Manila Thursday from a priest that
an attempt had been made to throw
a bomb at Secretary Taft while he was
attending a reception given in his hon
or at the Jesuit college. A careful
investigation failed to Disclose any
foundation for the statement
Every precaution has been taken by
the authorities to prevent any such
outrage, the secretary being closely
guarded by insular as well as United
States secret service men. Besides it
is believed no anarchists or men of
that class are in the islands.
Secretary Taft was present Friday
morning at an entertainment given in
his honor at Fort William Mckinley.
Friday afternoon he reviewed the
troops composing the garrison of Ma
nila. Later he was entertained at din
ner by Gen. John ]. Pershing, COM
'mander of Fort Mckinley, and Friday
evening was present at a reception
given by the American club.

COPPER FIRM JARRED.
Stock Exchange Suspcnds Otto
HeinZe & Co.

~ Heinze s. Co.
Sensations followed each other in
rapid succession in the financial dis
trict Of New York Thursday as the
result of the collapse of the projected
corner in United Copper and the sas-
pension of a prominent brokerage
firm Wednesday.
The firm of Otto Heinze & Co. is
suspended on the stock exchange.
F. Augustus Heinze, the Butte cop
per magnate, resigned the presi-
dency of the Mercantile National
bank Thursday.
The Amalgamated Copper COM
pany, at its directors meeting, cut it's
qunarterly dividend from 2 per cent
to l per cent.
TIE directors Of the Boston and
Montana Copper company declared a
quarterly dividend Of Sc in place of a
former dividend Of $12.
The failure of Haller, Soehle g.
Co, prominent BANKERS of Hamburg,
Germany, with liabilities that may
reach $7,5O0,0OO, was announced.
The State Savings bank at Butte,
Mont, of which the Heinzes are the
principal stockholders, suspended.
AS a result of these sensations the
stock market was halting and irreg-
ular but there was apparent feeling
that the break Of the attempted cor
ner in United Coppe er had cleared the
atmosphere somewhat, and the mar
ket rallied before the close Thursday.

WALL STREET EASIER
SIGH OF RELIEF FOLLOWS COP
PER MARKET STORM.
Apprehension Exists that Insstcnce on
Certain Pattern of steel Rails May
Mean Intention to Defer Orders by
Railroads.

At late hour Sunday night ii was
announced by the clearing house COM
mittee that the Heinze, Morse and
Thomas interests had been eliminated
from the banking organizations of
New York City, and in the light OF this
fact the Clearing House association
announced its readiness to lend all
necessary aid to any of the banks
which have been under suspicion, the
clearing house investigation having es-
tablished their solvency.
1t is believed that this action will
prevent any crisis in New York bank
ing circles
William III. Havemeyer, one Of its
directors, was elected to the presidency
of the National Bank of North Ameri-
ca, succeeding Alfred H. Curtis, re-
signed.
1t is understood that the Mercantile
National bank will undergo a process
of slow liquidation.
The principal source of the fresh
disturbance in the stock market last
week was traced finally to the copper
world, but before the conditions had
become sufficiently well defined the
financial district was kept nervous by
all kinds of rumors of the nature of
the trouble that was threatening. The
result was seen in the range of quo
tations established which presented
the lowest mark for several years in
considerable list of important stocks.
Foreign money centers were kept well
supplied with all the alarming rumors
current and originated others on their
own account sending securities for
sale to this market meanwhile and re-
stricting credits to New York in many
ways.

SNAKES BITE FATAL.
Ninc-Ycar-Old Boy Killed by Fangs of
a Rather.

The latest victim in South Dakota
OF the deadly rattlesnake was the g.
year-Old son of Mr.. and Mrs. \. II.
SChOoler, prominent residents of Ly-
man county. While out on the prairie
near his home in company with lit
tie cousin the two boys ran upon the
snake, which fastened its fangS in the
9-year-old boy. The snake was a very
large one, having nine rattles. After
killing the snake the cousin had pres
ence of mind enough 70 take one of
his shoe strings and tie it tightly
about the leg of the injured boy imme-
diately above where the fangs of the
snake had entered. But his strength
evidently was not sufficient to draw
the cord as tight as necessary. The
two boys then hurried to nearby
school house, where school was in ses-
sion. The teacher lacerated the wound
and then attempted to suck out the
poison physician was summoned
and everything that was possible vas
done, but without avail, Tor some
hours after being bitten the little fell
low died.

GROWING TRADE WITH JAPAN.
Speedy Recovery Following the War
with Russia

with Russia.
That there has not been q falling
off in trade with Japan following the
Japanese Russian war, but on the
contrary a healthful resumption Of
normal conditions, was the statement
of James r. Morse, president of the
American-Asiatic association at the
annual meeting of the organization
in New York Thursday. Conditions in
China. however, have not been so
good, but there are Indications of re-
covery from depressed conditions.
In the secretarys report John
Foord said:
The obviously temporary character
of the settlement of the Japanese
school exclusion question in California
tended to encourage rather than to
check the circulation Of foolish and
mischievous rumors of impending war
between the countries. All the intlu-
ence of your executive committee has
been exerted to demonstrate the alb
sudrity Of assuming that there could
be any serious quarrel between the
two governments in dealing with the
issue raised in California
James r. Morse, of New York, was
elected president. Theodore b. Will
cox, of Portland, Ore, was among the
vice presidents chosen.
