Colombo, S. D., June S.-This place,

In the recently opened portion Of the
Rosebud indian reservation in Trip
county, has just had its first serious
shooting affray. The principals in the

serious wound, which may cause the
loss of the leg. Great excitement fol-

Man Holds Her in swift
Current, But She Dies in
His Arms.
ABOVE THE CATARACT

Niagara Falls, June 9.-Louis Cohen,
of Buffalo, saw his young wife leap
into the swirling river between Second
and Third Sisters islands yesterday
afternoon, only $50 feet above the brink
OF the cataract. Without a moments
hesitation he followed her, caught her
hand and struggled desperately to save
her.
Mrs. Cohen died in her husbands
arms. Before 1t was possible to bring
efficient help an hour had passed, dur
ing all of which Cohen was makin
frantic attempts to reach the shore.
But the struggle against the current at
this point, which Is about 20 miles an
hour, was beyond his power. Fortune
aided him. With his wife tightly clasp
ed 10 him he felt himself bump into a
tree stump, and on this he got a grip
with his one free hand. He Justify
shouted for help and word was carried
to the reservation police, but it was
nearly an hour after Mrs. Cohen Jump
ed into the river that Officer James
Martin arrived with James S. Simons
and three other men carrying ropes:
Three times they threw the rope be-
fore IL fell within Cohen's grasp. When
he did catch 1t he was too weak TO tie
it about his own or his wife's waist.
The two were 20 feet away from shore,
and 1t was extremely difficult, owing
10 the p~recarious nature of the foot
ing, to make a good cast. Pinned

WELL, WHISKY IS ~
WHISKY, AFTER ALL
So It Has the Flavor, Says
Bowers, the Color Doesn't
Matter.

washington, June 9.---Lloyd w. Bow
ers, solicitor general OF the United
Estates, today submitted to President
Taft his opinion as to what the term
whisky" means in law. .
In effect Solicitor General Bowers
holds, after a discussion at great length
what the term whisky" meant at the
time of the passage of the pure food
paw, that the public does not consider
that added coloring or iavoring matter
|can make whisky out of what otherwise
Is not whisky. Whisky is regarded gem
fally and naturally as having q flavor
and properties of it's own.
There is no more reason for saving
alcohol becomes whisky because colored
and Favored like, some true whisky
than for saying hat alcohol becomes
brandy because colored or favored like
some brandy" he said.
ION the other hand, the mere addition
Iof harmless coloring or flavoring mat
tier to what is previously whisky does
|not destroy its whisky character unless
such addition unduly dilutes or other
wise affects the essential properties of
|the whisky.
"One Of the most important matters
|jn a practical view is whether a mix
|ture of an admitted whisky with neu-
trial spirits o alcohol may be called
w HHShSJB says NIL bOWeTB Sucn
mixtures have become q most popular
form of the beverage, both in the
united States and in England. 1t is
even true as / learn from testimony
that a larger quantity Of these mix
lures than of straight whisky was con-
|sumed during the last 20 years or
more"
Solicitor General Bowers holds that
THE name whisky has no different
scope whether 1t be used as a drug or
las a beverage. He also holds that the
contention that whisky may be made
from moIasses Is incorrect.
While the opinion of Mr.. Bowers is
mot tinal and may be overturned by
subsequent proceedings, it is distinctly
a victory for the contention Of the
blended whisky distillers and is a re-
|versal of the position heretofore taken
by the department of agriculture. The
opinion is very voluminous, consisting
of thousands OF pages of testimony and
Ia resume of the testimony and the
opinion OF General Bowers.
President Taft authorized the opinion
lOf Mr.. Bowers to be made public, but
announced no opinion himself because
At was his desire to hear further testi-
mony taken from what are known as
straight whisky" distillers.
