more than Mr.. Alderman would

though the doctor was bent on hav-

warning him several times to drive

have ended differently than they did.

The United States and Pacific Ex.
press companies made strong pro-
test before the state board of rc-

crease of 100 per cent in their as

The United States express COM

the board with arbitrarily and er-

violation Of tho constitution, raising
the assessed valuation OF that COM
pany moro than 100 per cent.
The company demands that a
statement of wholly state business
be taken as the basis of assessment
WITHOUT considering interstate bust

While the American Express rep
resentative made strong statement
against the action of the board, no
written protest was filed, while the

SMALL BOY Killed
By A bURRO
Hot Springs Boy Dragged to Death
BY Animal While Celebrating
His Birthday.

One of the saddest and most ter
rible accidents ever happening IN
the history of Hot Springs happened
last week when the little eight-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs Lou Elem
ming was dragged TO his death by
a burro.
1t was the eight anniversary OF
his birthday and together with his
little playmates the unfortunate
child was celebrating the occasion by
a bAnro-ride about town. Whste
cutting up on the animal he slipped
out Of the saddle in some manner
which frightened the burro and the
animal started to run. The child
foot was fast in one of the stlrrups
and he was dragged for a consider
able distance before the burro was
stopped. The little fellow was tax
en- to the hospital where the physi'
clans discovered that his skull had
been fractured and his neck broken
The child never regained conscious

$6.OOO.O00 FOR
SUGAR PLANTS
ONNARD'S MANAGER SAYS SiX
FACTORIES WILL BE BUILT
in AND NEAR NiONTROSE.
Sugar Bccts Can BE Produced Here
Get Interested and Investigate
The Matter

Within the next four years $6,0OO,-
600 will be spent in the Uncom-
pahsre valley, in the vicinity of Mont
rose, Colorado, for the erection of
six beet sugar factories, to cost ST.
100000 each. Henry Oxnard, the
sugar trust magnate, will spend most
of the money.
j. NJ. Mitchell, a German sugar en-
pert in the employ OF Oxnard, as
Western manager, and who selects
the locations for the factories that
he builds, has been looking over
the conditions in the valley. To l,
N. Pepper. Of Mont'ose, he stated
that the six factories, to cost 81 ,000,-
00z each, will be constructed.
Two factories will be at Mont
rose. There will be one or two at
Olathc Delta, and the remainder will
be erected at various points in the
valley
The beets raised in Germany were
improved by Mitchell for sugar maxi
ing purposes, he changing them from
red to White in the same manner
that Burbank changes black berries.
Mitchell states that these beets in
Germany produce IL per cent of their
weight in sugar and that in the Un-
compahgre valley they should pro-
duce from 1G to 20 per cent. This is
as much as can be produce at any
place in the world.
Mitchell is authority for the state
ment that an acre of sugar beets in
that section should yield $500 worth
of sugar in a season. AS conse-
qnence many of the farmers will
plow up their grain fields and raise
beets.
Sugar bcets can be produced in
this section eff South Dakota as well
as in Colorado. Last year Spencer
Raymond OF Rand Valley planted
some Colorado seed and raised as
fine beeIs as produced anywhere.
The yield was something prolific and
the quality could nos be better. The
farmers Of this section should inves-
tigate the matter and if sugar beets
can be protitaby grown here, that
will be one more of the many posi-
bilities of this section. Get some
seed and give it trial.

By The CARS
Noon Serious Accident Hap
pcncd at Northwestern Depot
in Rapid City.

Quite serious accident ,befall
a lady by the name of Mrs. Anna
Morrow, at the Northwestern de-
pot in this city at noon Tuesday when
she attempted to alight from the
cars. The Rapid City-Pierre train
had pulled into the station, the pas
sengers had gotten on or off, and
the conductor gave the signal to
start, supposing that all was in readi-
ness. The train had not gone more
than half the length of a car when the
lady in question rushed from the
inside of the car to the steps and step
ped off backwards. The train was 60
ing fast enough to cause her to fall
with considerable force, striking her
head on the depot platform and
causing serious injury She was TAX
en- to apartments in a private family
and physician was summoned.
Her injuries, though very pain
full, are not considered dangerous
and this morning she is reported as
getting along very nicely.
