of this place. Roy Skillman and Harold
and Warren Hartwell, had a thrilling
adventure, during the course of which
young Skillman and Harold Hartwell
saved the life of Ole Nelson, a farm
HAND in the employ of j. H. Shaw, and
at the same time proved themselves to,
be in the hero class. The three young,
men q gone to what is known as the,
Martin Peterson lake, ear here, for.
the purpose of enjoying a swim.
Nelson. also had gone to the lake and
attempted to wade across. out soon got
beyond his depth and called loudly for
help. Roy Skillman and Harold Hart,
well lost no time in jumping into an,
old boat which was near at hand and
soon were hurrying out into the lake
to the rescue of the drowning
Nelson, in his frantic efforts to save
himself from drowning, grasped the
boa in such a manner as to upset it.
n o o Hartwell and Skillman also,
were f~loundering about in the water,
which was o~verstheir heads.
After exertions the two
young men drew Nelson to the over
turned boat. which they grasped and
succeeded in hanging to. After resting
a few moments they commenced pad
ding with their free hands, and in this
tedious fashion finally managed to pro-
pei the overturned boat and its living

ATTACHES RECORDS
OF CITY ENGINEER
Spirited Fight Between Council
and Mayor Over Appoint

Sioux Falls, S.. D., Aug. 10.--Failina
TO secure the confirmation of his ap-
pointment Of a successor to l.. Il. Hen
bricks, city engineer, Mayor Doolittle,
through City Attorney Grigsby has
seized the books and papers in the Of
flee of the engineer and has thrown
the affairs pertaining to that office In
to a deadlock until the cause shall be
tried out in the courts.
The action of the mayor follows one
OF the most spirited contests between
council and city executive that has ever
taken place In Sioux Falls and there
is 40 prospects Of a compromise at
the present time.
The cause of the contention is gen.
orally regarded as growing out of an
effort IN the part of the mayor to pay
off some political obligations formed
at the time of his election in the spring.
He has proposed several candidates for
the position Of city engineer, but he
council has Invariably turned them
down by a decisive vote. Recent APP
pointments We're S. B. Howe, of this
place, n the city engineer Of Mitch
ell. but the council gave them but short
shrift. AT the last meeting of the coun-
Gil, Mayor Doolittle refused to sub
nit the bill OF the city engineer for
services and the council took up the
bill and approved it over the protest of
the executive who now retaliates by
Selling the official records Of the en-
gineer and likewise refuses to order a
warrant drawn for the salary of the
engineer. The difficulty will now be
threShed out in the courts.

state railroad commission next listens
to complaints of Irregularities or in
equalities in the rates charged Black
Hills shippers, it will have before it
complete data concerning the valuation
of the roads and their improvements,
instead of having to rely pom the word

past. Members of the commission. to-
gether with Carl C. Wit, civil engineer,
and his assistant and E. F. Schwartz,
clerk OF the board, are now on a tour
of the Black Hills lines of the railroads.
The commission is making a physical
valuation of the roads over which it
travels, a work for which the last leg
islature appropriated $4,000, every cent
Of which will be expended before the
year and a half which the commission
figures it will take to complete the
work. This observation trip has been
preceded by months OF hard work on
the part of numerous clerks and inves-
tigators who secured data from other
sources.
