Ing marriage and a home in Kansas

The LOCATION FOR
u. S. LAND OFFICE
Making Campaign on Ground of
Nearness to Large Tracts of
Government Lands.

Bonestecl, s. d., Aug. 1.-THE resi-
dents Of this place nave inaugurated
a determined movement having for its
purpose the remova of the United
States land office from Mitchell TO this
place. Committees nov are at work
with this end in view and the atten-
tion of the officials OF the interior
will be called to the fact
that but little acan government land
remains in that part of the Mitchell
district which is situated east of the
Missouri river, and that practically all
of the vacant land in the district Is
situated on this (the west) sic of the
river, and can more conveniently be
handled with the and office located
at Bonesteel than in its present loca-
ton at Mitchell. II naturally is ex-
pected that the people of Mitchell will
resist TO the best of their ability the
removal of the land office from that
point, III many prominent residents
Of Bonesteel express themselves as
hopeful that Bonesteel, by the proper
kind OF ain effort, will be able TO cap
ture the prize. The citizens of Bone
steel have recently had this place Sc
this territory of the Chicago IL North
western railroad, and they now are
rocking for new worlds 10 conquer
and are of the oninion that their town
Is of about the right size, and has the
proper location for a United States
land office. The opening TO settlement
in the near future of nearly 1,000, 900
acres of Indian land in Trip county
Just west OF Bonesteel, will make land
matters lively in this part OF the
state.

DIES IN HOSPITAL

~Chamberlain. S. D., Aug. 14.--While
attempting to cross the railroad track
in front of the east bound passenger
train at Interior Friday night, while
on horseback, Henry Fratzke, a ranch
er, was caught under the wheels of

lesh being practically stripped from one
leg. He was hustled onto the train
and brought 10 this city. where he
was met by Railroad Surgeon X. H..

ium in this city, but an examination
showed that the man was dying from
his fearful injuries. No operation was
therefore attempted. The mar was IS
years of age and leaves a wife and
three young children. The wife and
children were notified and arrived in
Chamberlain Sunday morning. They
left with the remains for Waseca,

The London Globe recently published
an article on 1.-THE Worlds Oldest
Tree" which was reported In several
American papers. The writer said that
the granddaddy OF all present trees was
to be found on the Isle of Cos. on the
coast of Asia Minor, was estimated TO
be considerably more than $500 years
old and had a circumference OF 321a
feet. In a letter 70 the New York Trib-
une Ivy T.. Lee, head OF the publicity
department of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, disputes the Globes statements.
1T is evident" say Mr.. Lee, that the
writer OF this note was not familiar
with the big trees Of California, a large
number OF which are probably more
than $500 years old, n IL liz certain
that the Oldest and largest of them
namely, the Grizzly Giant" iii the
Mariposa grove. near Yosemite park
is upward OF 5000 years old. Calcutta
lions TO this effect have been made by
eminent scientists. and there Is prob
ably no doubt OF their correctness. Not
only II this great tree and many of it's
companions of such great age. but IL
shows no tendency toward decay. The
trunk OF this tree is more han 100 feet
in circumference.
