YOUNG MINER MURDERED.
Alteration Over Poker Game Brings
Row That Ends Fatally.

Alteration Over Poker Game Brings
Row That Ends Fatally.
For the first time in three years
Lawrence county has a murder trial
on its hands. The alleged killing of
Matchell Ogresto, young Slovenian
miner, in a saloon at Lead, by Eli
Raich was the first affair of the kind
since the famous Farnham murder
case in 1906.
Raich is leader among the Slavo-
mans In Lead and Ogresto bore a
quarrelsome reputation. An alterca-
ton arose during the progress of a
poker game in Raich's saloon. Ac-
cording to eye-witnesses, Ogresto be-
came SO abusive that he was ordered
from the room, and when he declined
to go, Raich took poker to compel
him. He was forced to drop this, and
going behind the bar, it is alleged, he
seized gun, firing directly at Ogresto,
who was surly and drunk, the bullet
penetrating the latter's body. Ogresto
lived but few hours.
Raich declares that Ogresto struck
at him, but so far this statement has
not been confirmed. Raich will be
given preliminary hearing this
week and bound over for trial some
time In June.

Uncle Sam Is To Establish Dipping

Uncle Sam Is TO Establish Dipping
Plant In Black Hills.
Work soon will be started on most
important innovation in the forest
work in the Black Hills. Two officials
from Washington, w. r. Wheaton and
George Ozier, are In Deadwood to
superintend the construction of q
plant that will be Of the greatest BEN
eft to timber users.
This plant, which will cost about
$4,000, will be established at Engle-
wood, south Of Deadwood, and will be
Of the open tank variety, a place
where all the bug-infected timber in
the Black Hills may BE- brought and
specially treated to make 1t more dur
able and serviceable for building and
other purposes The treatment Is
similar to that of creosoting bricks
and will require some machinery and
pumps and tanks.
The government has been quietly
making some tests along this line in
the Black Hills national forest for
some time past and has been so sue
cessful that 1t was decided a great
saving could be made on the bug-kill-
ed timber, of which there is a large
quantity, by this plant where the
treatment facilities are handy. 1t is
declared that timber Of this sort that
would otherwise last about four years
will after treatment hold fully thirty
five years. 1t is planned to ask the
cooperation OF lumbermen aud users
of timber in the Hills, and all such
users of this treated timber will be
charged the cost of such treatment to-
gether with a 10 per cent of its cost,
to cover incidentals. 1t is expected to
have the new plant in operation some
time this summer.

Surveying Electric Line.

A party of surveyors has left Huron
to complete the survey of the Huron
Gas and Electric railway between HUI
ron and Aberdeen. Cross & Mack Of
Minneapolis have the contract for this
work, and will begin at point near
Dolan, in Sphinx county, where the
work was abandoned last fall, and
continue the line to Aberdeen. The
right-of-way committee, composed of
J. A. Cleaver, r. u. Whorton and Fred
Nutting, will follow the surveyors and
secure the right of way along the pro-
posed line. From the interest mani
tested In the enterprise, it is thought
that no serious difficulty will be ex-
perienced in securing the right of way,
as the farmers as we'll as towns along
the line, are anxious to see the enter
prise succeed.

generally employed and yet SO harmful,
in the long run, to most invalids when
its use is long continued, even in small
doses, cost DR.. Pierce several years of
careful study and labor, with the aid of
skilled pharmacists and chemists to
assist him. Naturally, he does not care
to give away his scientific and exact
processes for preparing these medicines,
but he does want to deal in the most
open manner with all his patrons and
patients, and under this frank, open and
honest way of dealing, they may know
exactly what they are taking when using
his medicines.
What Do They cure7 This ques-
ton is often asked concerning DR..
Pierce's two leading medicines, Golden
Medical Discovery" and UFavorite Pre-
scription."
The answer is that vGolden Medical
Discovery" is most potent Alternative
or blood-purifier, and tonic or invigor-
ator and acts especially favorably in
curative and healing way upon all the
mucous lining surfaces as of the nasal
passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stom-
ach, bowels and bladder, curing large
per cent. of catarrhal cases whether the
disease affects the nasal passages, the
throat, larynx, bronchia, stomach Gas
catarrhal dyspepsia, bowels Gas mucous
diarrhea), bladder, uterus or other
pelvic organs. Even in the chronic or
Lucrative stages of these affections, Il
is often successful in effecting cures.
Thec Favorite Prescription is advised
for the cure of one class of diseases only
those peculiar weaknesses, derange-
ments and irregularities incident to
women. 1t is a powerful yet gen.
tly acting invigorating tonic and
strengthening nervine. For weak, worm
out, over-worked women-no matter
what has caused the breakdown, vFa-
yorite Prescription will be found most
effective in building up the strength,
regulating the womanly functions, SUBJ
DUNG pain and bringing about healthy,
vigorous condition OF the whole system.

Much interest in political affairs generally is being manifested here at the pres ent time, and as the date of election draws near, enthusiasm along this line increases daily.

ARIZONA PRODUCT
 HAS A NEW NAME
An Eastern School Teacher Disig- mates a Pomegranate as a Cross Between an Apple and an Onion.

The ignorance of many eastern peo- pie regarding Arizona and Arizona's s products is well illustrated by the following incident. A short time ago A. W. COsner had occasion to send to a friend in the east a small ship ment of fruits and things from this section. In the collection were a few pomegranates. The children of the family picked upon these pomegran- ates as rare curiosities and took a sample to school. where they were shown with pride to their school mates. MT. Cosner had failed to iden- tify this new fruit and the people that received them were at a loss to know just what they were. The school children were also hopelessly at sea, and the pomegranate finally found its way to the school teacher. who by the children was naturally regarded as the source of all wisdom. Of him they requested a name for the new fruit. The teacher evidently had never seen pomegranate. He sampled the fruit and rather liked it, but, like the others, was at a loss to know what to call it. Feeling. however. that it developed upon him to explain the situation in some manner. he gave the matter final consideration and pronounced the pomegranate a Bur bang creation, quite probably a cross between an onion and an apple This satisfied the children, for they felt that they had discovered something entirely new.
