Miss Sadie, the eldest daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Morris of this

rs years, five months and 80 days. She
had been i'll for some time and had
recently been to the mountains for
relief. A telegram was received here
by her father stating she was improv.
Ing, but the good word was soon fol-
lowed by the announcement of her
death, her apparent improvement be-
ing the beginning of the end. Little

lowing receipt of encouraging word OF
her condition.

Wants Artes'an Well.

The little town of Murdo has a
movement on foot for an artesian
we'll. 1t is understood the firm of
Norbeck g. Nicholson of Redfeld, S.
d., has been negotiated with to
sink the we'll and they propose to
guarantee flow of at least 100 gal
Ions of water per minute. The con-
tract price for six, inch hole to a
proper depth is said to be $4,000, of
which the Milwaukee railroad will pay
one-third, the Milwaukee land COM
pany one-third and the town the re-
manning third. The town council has
voted to accept the proposition. Some
time ago the town voted S12, 900 water
bonds when the old we'll was ordered,
but when the we'll was tested it was
found to be filled with sand and no
water could be pumped making it
necessary to sink new well to secure
an adequate supply of water.

Mrs. Edward Portwood was acct
dentally shot through the right Shout
der Monday evening while enroute to
the Milwaukee depot to take train

had taken up claim in Montana and
while leaving the home occupied in a
fiat on Sixth street the ladies started
on ahead of Mr.. Portwood who re-
turned to the house to get his rifle.
He had not intended taking the gun
with him, as he was not going to ac-
company his wife on actount of bust
ness matters which detained him for
a few days, but intended leaving the
weapon in secret place until he re-
turned from the depot. Seeing SOL
diers from the Fourth cavalry who
are camped in North Rapid approach
ing and DESTROYS that they should not
see where he placed the gun, he hur-
riedly attempted to place it under the
porch. He had removed, as he sup
posed, all cartridges from the maya
zine, and started to push the gun on
the porch, stock first. AS he did SO
the gun was discharged, the bullet
striking his wife in the shoulder, pen
etrating through and fracturing the
bone. She was taken to the GAY
house near by and DR.. R. J. jackson
was called to attend her, making her
as comfortable as possible. The bull
let, after passing through Mrs. Port
woods shoulder, came near hitting
two men who were walking down the
street short distance ahead of the
ladies'.

VICTOR MUST PAY PENALTY
Jury Finds Him Guilty of Murder and
Recommends Death Penalty
as ItS Expiatlon,

Emil Victor was found guilty of
murder by a jury at Aberdeen on
Tuesday afternoon, where he was
tried for the murder of Mildred Chris
tie on the farm near Rudolph on
July 3. The case was given to the
jury at 3:15 and the verdict was re-
turned in two hours. He will be
given the death penalty on Septem-
Der 30. Victor's plea was epilepsy
and insanity, but the evidence sub
mitted touching on his mental condi-
ton was badly shattered by the testi-
mony in rebuttal offered by the state.
It was brought out that Victor had
showed no symptoms of epilepsy in
more than year he had worked in
the neighborhood.
Victor not only murdered Mildred
Christie but also her father and
mother and hired man. 1t is stated
there was no doubt in the minds OF
those who followed the case closely
that the verdict would be in favor Of
the death penalty.

HAVE NATURAL ICE PLANT
Edgewood Has Deep Tunnel Which
Freezes Water on Hottest Days
of Sum.cer Only.

The Deadwood correspondent of the
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader has come
forward with the story that a most
peculiar natural phenomenon has
been discovered near Edgewood and
thus far satisfactory explanation
has not been found. The curiosity
Isl in the nature of natural ice man
ufactory which does better business
In the summer than in the winter.
ThAlocation is a 98-foot tunnel driven
for prospecting purposes, which is an
almost constant producer of ice, which
forms rapidly during the summer
months and gradually melts i'll the
winter.
Now the tunnel is half full of ice
at the face. The layer becomes thin
ner as it extends towards the mouth
and disappears entirely about Is feet
from the portal. In winter the tenn
perature of the tunnel gradually rises
until it goes above the freezing point,
but this temperature is never contin-
ued long enough to melt all the ice.
The only explanation given is that
the freezing temperature is created
by drafts of air entering through three
crevices. These drafts coming in
contact with the water holding in So
luton certain chemicals cause rapid
evaporation which produces an in
tense cold. No explanation, however,
is forthcoming of the fact that the
ice forms only in the summer.

year the Indian mission churches of
the Congregational and Presbyterian
faiths send delegates to some appoint

an arrangement whereby there is no

given to the Presbyterians, while the
Standing Rock is field of operations
for the home mission boards of the
Congregational church. Each year
the two churches unite in bringing
native delegates from all the reserva-
lions to some central point for joint
