Sioux Falls, S. D., June 17.-John T.
Cogan, secretary of the South Dakota
Press association, reports that he is
receiving INQUIRIES every day in regard
10 the editorial outing to the Black
Hills next month. The names OF all
who have made application or signfied
a desire TO participate in this ~delightful
trip have been forwarded to the rail"
road companies, and he does not antlc-
ipate any trouble whatever in carrying
out the details according TO the circular
recently issued. So far there are but
$50 people listed for the trip. There Is
still l"om for more and still plenty OF
time in which TO make the arrange
ments.
II has not been determined whether
the editors will have a special train
or not, but, inasmuch as the Milwaukee
and the Northwestern roads each reach
Rapid City, IS is thought that the reg
ular service, with an extra sleeper or
two, will accommodate the party.
From Rapid City to Hot Springs.
Spearfsh, Deadwood, Lead and other
places, a special train will undoubtedly
be provided.
The Black Hills cities are preparing
to give the editors a royal reception.
1t comes at a good time Of the year,
and that country. always picturesque
and beautiful. will be in all its glory at
this time.
1t is understood that the people OF
Belle Fourche are arranging to have
the entire party make an overland drive
from Spearfish to the big government
irrigation dam, and to Belle Fourche.
The Spearfish editors write that straw
berries and fruit will be in prime con-
dition, and the editors will be expected
to remain there indefinitely,
The railroad companies will furnish
sufficient cash advertising to cover the
expense of transportation. n the TRIP
will therefore be inexpensive and de-
lightful. Mr.. Cogan is very enthusiast
tice over the matter, and is doing all
that ne can to perfect all arrangements
and details. The meeting in Rapid City

personal friends by the score. Some
two or three weeks ago Mrs. Bennett
resigned a good position here and de-
parted for other points in the state.
Her departure caused a great deal OF
comment. and SOC the report gained
circulation that she had applied for a
divorce. Word now has been received
that she has been granted a decree.
Upon what grounds she secured the di-
vorce is unknown, as the facts have
been concealed from the people OF
Beresford. Mr.. Bennett is a travelling
man n at present has Texas AS his
territory. II was generally supposed
that their domestic relations were of
the most pleasant character, and the
knowledge that they have been sepa-
rated by the divorce courts was a great
shock to their many friends in Beres-
ford and vicinity.

PACKING PLANT IS
DAMAGED BY FIRE
Nelson Morris Plant Suffers a
Loss of S25O,OOO by
Flames.

Kansas City, Kansas, June IA
fire that started before daylight In the
$500, 900 packing plant of Nelson Nor
ris e. Co, had by nine o'clock pro-
crossed so far that it was feared the
entire structure would be destroyed.
The fire was brought under controi
at 10; 80 o'clock with a loss estimated
at $685. 600. The fire was confined to
the cold storage building and meat
house, which were destroyed.
The fire was caused by two expSo-
s.ons. The first was of sewer sas,
which followed the lighting by a work
man Of a match in the cold storage de-
,partment. A more serious explosion
then occurred when q quantity OF am
monia ignited.
There were so men in the plant when
the explosion occurred, but all escaped
except four. Two were instantly killed
and two badly mangled.
The plant is in the food district, and
is entirely surrounded by water.
The flames in the packing house
spread rapidly. Because Of the flood,
.fremen are unable TO reach nearer than
two blocks from the building, with
their apparatus. Aid was asked Of the
Missouri side, but the engines from
there could not get across the flooded
district.
The sausage department was the
first to go. Telephone communication
with the scene is impossible. Wire
service has been destroyed by the
flood.
The plant is situated near the River
side section in a fork Of the Kaw
river, just north Of the stock yards on
a low lying piece Of ground. 1t was
built three years g and was n Of
the most complete In the country. For
three days past, or since the worst of
the present flood began, operations in
all It's departments practically were at

great measure served TO cOnVlc Billlk
of the murder OF six members of the

the evidence given by him was simply
perjury.
In the purported confession young
,Vrzal not only impugned his wi tes-
ltimony, but declared two of his rela-
tives falsiied on the witness stand. In
an affidavit the boy stated all the vital
part of the evidence he gave against
Billik was perjury, taught him by a
high police official.
How Family Died.
Following are the deaths In the
Vrzal family, all resulting apparently
from the same cause, that led to the
