Lyman County Board Decides to Call
Special Election.

Lyman County Board Decides to Gail
Special Election.
The Lyman county homesteaders,
after long fight, will be given an op-
portunity to vote on the question Of
free range without waiting until fall.
For time it looked as if the action of
the county commissioners in rejecting
the homesteaders' petition presented
last fall, would allow the cattlemen to
hold full sway for another year. Al
ter the question had been carried into
court, some of the most prominent
business men of the county met with
the commissioners and presented adj
ditional names to the petition, and the
commissioners agreed to act without
carrying the fight any farther. An at
tempt to fix the date of the election
on the question the same as for the
primaries was opposed on the ground
that it would be used as a club in that
election, and May II was fixed as a
date for the special election.
Under the law special elections can
be ordered for that purpose only if
called in 1907, and there may be an
after-clap in the work, but if the de-
cision is against the free range. the
public sentiment will be SO strong
that any effort to avoid it under tech
nicalities will not be pleasant for
those trying it.
AT the same meeting of the COM
missioners they pulled up more lis
sues" for the voters Of Lyman county
for this year. They granted petition
for the vote on the question of re.
moval of the county seat from Ga
coma to Presho, and another for a
vote on division of the county on the
dividing line between the old survey
and the Black Hills survey.
If the county seat change and the
county division move both carry, the
county seat will be within eighteen
miles of the western line of the old
county, instead of on the border line

Considerable advantage seems to
result from the introduction of a
seemingly useless universal joint on
tie shaft of a power boat. The joint
seems to be a superiority, for the
reason that IL is mounted on a shaft
which is perfectly straight, on as
nearly 50 as possible, but its presence
between the motor and the thrust
bearing is said to be the means Of
preventing any tleXure of the shaft,
from vibration or straining. from
affecting the operation of the motor
Another innovation which on the
face of it seems to be trivial has
been found to be very effectual, and
that is the continuing OF the shaft
beyond the propeller in cone-shap-
ed projection. This is claimed to
have its effect in the prevention Of
the formation Of vacuum back OF
tie propeller blades.

baon the extremely low temperature

that by taking all the phenomena
into consideration this obstacle may
be removed. Previous calculations
Of the temperature have been de-

Presence of Mind in Face of Death

y remarkable instance of presence
OF mind in thu face of death occurred
on board the steam launch Queen OF
England on the Thames at Windsor.

party of about eighty, had almost
reached Windsor Bridge after trip
up the river, when the engines sud -
denly ceased working. The captain
went below and there found Francis
Butt, the engineer lying unconscious,
He died shortly afterward.
1t is believed that Butt, feeling
death approaching, had the presence
OF mind to shut off steam before he
fell. He thus probably saved many
lives.
