CHARGES DISMISSED
Affidavits Against Three Men
Thrown Out in the Cir
cult Court.
ONE STILL IN JEOPARDY

Affidavits against Hiram Peters,
charged with wife desertion, William
H. Harris, charged with assault and
battery with intent to kill. and Daniel
Kitchell, charged with malicious tres
pass, were dismissed by Judge Fox this
morning on motion of Prosecuting At.
torney Charles Ladd.
Peters came here with his wife from
Virginia. He deserted her and his
wife, Cora M. Peters, filed charges
against him. So far as known Peters
may return to the city without fear
of arrest.
The affidavit against Harris was the
one on which he was held in the coun
ty Jail, until the grand jury returned
an indictment against him. He was
indicted for shooting with intent to
kill John D. Lancaster, a prominent
gardener.
The charge against Kitchell was pre-
ferred more than a year ago. He was
arrested on purely circumstantial evil
dence and Mr.. Ladd, in his motion to
dismiss the case, says that there Is 4
great doubt as to whether it. would :.e
possible to convict in the case. Kitchell
resides at Boston.

ASK COUNTY'S HELP
Trustees of Reid Memorial
Hospital Want to Sc
cure $1,000.
TO ASK SPECIAL SESSION

Trustees of Reid Memorial hospital
are desirous Of obtaining an appropri.
alton from the county for the maintc-
nance Of the institution and with this
end in view will probably ask that a
special meeting of the county council
and county commissioners be held to
consider the proposition. The trus-
tees would like an appropriation O!
81 500 or $4,000, and in return for an
appropriation of such an amount would
extend privileges for the treatment OF
county charity patients at the institu.
ton.
The trustees we're expecting to pre-
sent the matter at the regular meetine
of the council early in the month. The
trustees were prevented from doing
so by some of the members being alb.
sent from the city.
Last year an appropriation of $4,000
was asked of the council in an infor-
NAL way. The proposition was not
pushed and the council did not honor
it. The trustees are confident that
the county council will now grant the
appropriation. .--

Yesterday Afternoon Con-
tracts Were Granted to
Cincinnati and to Local
Contracting Companies.
DEMAND FOR HOUSES
is VERY HEAVY NOW
Officers of the Automatic Tool
Company Find 1t Hard
Problem to Secure Homes
For the Employees.

The contracts for the construction
OF the new factory building of the Ma
tional Automatic Tool company, which
will be built in Beallview was let yes
terday afternoon to L. Eid Construc-
tion company of Cincinnati, and Bend
feldt and Son of this city. The con-
tract calls for the completion of the
building by December and a bonus of
$25 day is offered by the tool CON-
pany for the completion of the build
ing before this date. The same penal
ty is provided for the contractors pro.
viding they fail to finish the building
on time.
There were eight bids received and
the bids of the firms showed that they
were anxious for the job, which is one
of the best let in this city this year.
The contract price is not given. Will
liam Buckhoff, president of the COM
pany, stated today that the L. Eid
Construction Co., would do all the
work with the exception of the wood
work, which is given to Bendfeldt and
Son.
1t Will Be Extensive.
The building will be an extensive az
fair. 1t will be principally reinforced
concrete and modern in every respect.
It will be patterned after the National
Cash Register works of Dayton, with
which many local persons are famil-
lar. -.a
The National Automatic Tool works
which is now located in Dayton, will
employ 100 men or more and has a
problem in securing houses for the
men who will be brought here.
Mr. Buckhoff said today that one
hundred such homes were needed in
the Beallview addition. A few local
people are planning to construct
houses this fall, but the number which
they will erect will not be sufficient to
supply the demand.
Another Factory Kicks
The Richmond Chandelier and Art
Brass Works, which is located in the
south part of the city, has had consid-
cradle difficulty in keeping its men
because they could not obtain residenc-
es near the factory. Nearly all Of
the houses in the south part of the city
are owned by the residents. Houses
for rent are extremely scarce.
The railroad siding for the automatic
plant will be installed this week some
time. 1t will extend from the railroad
tracks toward the east. The plans
for the building are such that the
switch will run into the building, max
ing it convenient for the loading of
heavy drill presses manufactured by
the concern.

PETITION FOR NEW BRIDGE.

People living west of the Missouri
river have started petition out that
way addressed a. petition to the beard
of railroad commissioners asking
them to take initiatory steps toward
compelling the Chicago, Milwaukee
u st. Paul road to build a new bridge
across the Missouri river at Cham
berlain. Ever since the pontoon bridge
was put in at two seasons of the year
the people Oh the west side Of the
river have been cut off from supplies
on the eastern half of the state by
reason of the bridge either being car
rled out by high water at one season
or by the ice at another time.
The petition is now being circulate
ed and in it the grievances are set
forth as the basis on the request
made of the commissioners informa-
ton has leaked out several times
from the Chicago headquarters that
new steel bridge was to be construct
ed across TIE river, but it has not APP
peared and now the western people
are going to try and interest the rail
road commissioners in the situation.

WANT REGISTRATION.

A hard fight is being made to have
Gettysburg selected as one of the re-
gistration places for the 5000, 900
acres of land in the Cheyenne River
and Standing Rock reservations which
is to be opened to white settlement
next spring. 1t is expected every
thing will be in readiness so the regis
tration for chances to secure farms in
the tract to be opened can take place
in Gct Der OF this year. The local
business men have enlisted the aid of
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad
company and officials Of the company
already are in communication with
the representatives of South Dakota
in congress. Private reports received
from prospects for Gettysburg being
selected as one Of the registration
points were very bright, and it is full
ly believed that Gettysburg will
win out. Gettysburg is located in
proximity to the tract to be opened
and has ample Accommodations for
caring for the large numbers who
will wish to register.

MURDER, NOT SUICIDE.

About a month ago an item was
published announcing that Mrs. Jesse
Hendricks OF Running Water, had
committed suicide. The woman and
her husband had some words about
his playing ball on Sunday on his
return in the evening. Hendrickson
claimed that his wife went into an
adjoining bedroom, secured revol-
yer that was lying on the bed, and
going into the kitchen shot herself.
Since Mrs. Hendrickson's death the
authorities of Bon Homme county
have been making some investiga-
thong concerning the death of Mrs.
Hendricks. At the time of the sui
claa some doubt was expressed that
the woman actually killed herself.
The officers have found sufficient
grounds since their Investigations to
warrant them in the belief that Mrs.
Hendricks did not do the shooting,
and that she was killed by her hus-
band III fit of rage.
Hendricks is a brakeman on the
Milwaukee between Running Water
and Marion. When he passed through
Iyndall last week the sheriff was on
hand and placed him under arrest.

RAILROAD ON OLD GRADE.

Watertawn, S. D., June 26.-After
spending three days at Pierre, Cres-
bard aud on the old railroad grade
between the two cities, a party of st.
Louis officials composed of l.. f. Day,
vice-president of the road, and r.. e
Kenly, chief engineer, together with
Thos. II. Way, President of the Da-
koto Town Lot company, returned to
WatertoWn this morning, very much
pleased with conditions and with 3
definite plan of action in mind. The
road when completed will be from
Pierre TO Cresbard, but will not go to
Aberdeen. Cresbard will make di-
vision point, which will mean much
to the growth of that city.
One day of the three was spent in
Cresbard, looking over the city with
an eye to a proper site for extensive
yards and round house.
The naneuvres of the party were a
mystery to the people of Cresbard
who have little idea of the RAILROADS

ers conclusion.
a DAY was also spent at Pierre,
where grounds for the location of a
depot and terminals were looked af.

publicity.
The trip over the grades and the
country through which the grade
will run was very pleasing to the
party, especially to Mr.. Day. He
did not state just when active work
would be commenced, but it is
thought that it will be some time be-
fore the close of summer, and will
probably be completed in 1910.

PEARY AT THE POLE.

Topeka Capital: Friends of Lieut..
Peary in Washington, according to
dispatches from there, believe that he
has discovered the north pole and has
planted the stars and stripes thereon.
Not that they have any direct news,
for Peary has not been heard from
since last August, and very little in
direct intelligence or gossip blows in
from the pole, but they have feel
ing that the pole has been at last
discovered and floats the stars and
stripes, and while a feeling of that
kind might not be considered by some
people as constituting news worthy
to be transmitted over the world UNI
der Washington date line, yet the
friends of Peary may be right and he
may have discovered the pole and
and communicated the fact to them
alphabetically. Nothing is either
good or bad" as Shakespeare said,
but thinking makes il So" There
are modern schools of philosophy
who carry the doctrine further and
claim that thinking can make any,
thing so. One trouble about discov-
ering the north pole is that as soon
as discovered it would be lost again.
No new short cut is to be found and
there.is no way of making a second
trip of discovery any easier than the
first. Peary may have reached the
pole and thus be not only the first
but the last man to accomplish the
feet that has cost so many brave and
hopeful adventures their lives
