SHOOTS MADMAN; SAVES FRIEND
Crazed by Drink, Stranger Yields an
Iron Bar.

To protect his friend from being
murdered by a d~rink-crazed stranger
at Plains, Dean Faber fired two shots
at W. D. Ferebee, both taking effect.
Ferebee's left lung was pierced with
a .32-caliber ball, which came cut near
the spine. The other injury is a flesh
wound in the right side.
Faber, a grocery clerk, and II. T.
Metcalf, a clerk In McGowan's hotel,
were ~conversing on the sidewalk
about II O'Clock at night when the de,
mented man rushed upon them and
felled Metcalf with a heavy iron bar
and continued striking him. Faber
then shot twice to save Metcalf's life.
Two physicians were called and at
tended Ferebee, who they say has a
chance for life. Shortly after the
shooting Ferebee signed a statement
that he was delirious from drinking,
combined with hunger. He is a native
of Baltimore.
Fabar surrendered to the officers
and no charge has been preferred,
pending a result of Ferebee's wounds.
Ferebee is a stranger here and came
from Butte.

the city in the last twenty years than
the drowning of Mr.. Wylie in Lake

A strange feature of the case was
the premonition Mrs. Wylie had when

begged her husband not to go out in
the BOAT while she was away, although
the water was by no means rough. He

their plans to spend the afternoon

two men pushed off, Mr.. Wylie turned
in his seat and threw a kiss to his
wife, standing on the shore with a
troubled look in her eyes. 1t was his
last message.
Mrs. Wylie finished her shopping
and hurried back to the summer home

Help South Dakota Firm.
A cattle firm by the name of Schill-

a large number of cattle which the
company was grazing on what was
formerly the Rosebud reservation in
Gregory county, but before the taxes
could be collected the firm moved the
cattle out of the county, and all at

Treasurer Brown, learning that this
firm owned large real estate interests
in Charles Mix county, filed a tran
script of the taxes in that county. A
short time ago the firm sold a large
tract of their land to eastern buyers,
and the Gregory county tax lien was
shown on the abstract. The purchas-
ers have refused to accept the title to
the land until the taxes were paid,
and as a result 81 LOO, that being the
amount of taxes due, is tied up in a
Charles Mix county bank.

junction Should Stand.
Last week Judge Smith of Mitchell
heard the presentation Of the argu-
ments by attorneys for the removal
of the temporary injunction which he
issued against the county commits
sioners Of sanborn county from build
the big drainage ditch in that county.
| His decision was to the effect that the
| Injunction should stand.
About two months ago farmers liv-
ing in Sanborn county started a petit
ton asking for the construction of a
drainage ditch which would be four
miles long, 25 feet wide at the top and
5 feet wide at the bottom, and about
IL feet deep. The petition was grant
! ed and the commissioners ordered the
! ditch started.
Robert Rearick and a dozen other
! farmers living in the immediate vicin-
ity of the ditch proposition went to-
! gether to secure an injunction to pre-
vent the commissioners from carrying
! their work into effect. They secured
! the services of T. J. Spangler, OF Nit
| chell, who presented their cause before
! the Judge of the circuit court. The
farmers objected to the digging of the
ditch on the ground that the commits
! sioners did not have the power to dig
| the ditch when 1t was not shown by
the petitions that is was a public ne
cessity to drain the agricultural lands.
Judge Kean appeared for the COM
missioners at the last weeks hearing
and Mr.. Spangler for the farmers.
To construct the ditch proposed by
the commissioners will cOst the tax
payers Of the county about $4,000,
and under the present circumstances
it does not look like they will be able
to do anything with the improvement
