which befell him week ago yes

time that the terrific explosion of
the dynamite caps had caused in
ternal injuries from the parts of

performed last Friday to forestall
any complications that might set
in from particles of copper that
possibly had gone too deep to be
detected by probing. Mr.. Dennis
held up nicely under the ordeal

better THAN anticipated. Contrary

j. E. Masters, the local black
smith, has decided to cut his valua-
BILE ten-acre tract up into town lots.
Each lot will have a thirty foot
frontage and will be very desirable
both for business and residence
purposes. The lots will be put on
the market as soon as the survey
can be completed.
Owing to the dark and disagree
able night, the attendance at the
'at home" Friday night, held in
the Presbyterian church, was not
as large as it would have been under
more favorable circumstances. The
program rendered by the boys was
enjoyed by all. The local talent
was ably assisted by Master Teddy
Turner of Seattle who gave a fine
violin selection. Cake and other
good things added to the enjoy

so large part in securing, having
solicited and collected the funds
necessary for the undertaking.
Mr.. Martin is hustler and will
have all our vacant land occupied

Nobody is supposed to know.
However, it has leaked out and be-
come general gossip to an extent
that is almost alarming and that
may figure extensively in society
circles this winter that certain
damsels of Vashon have secretly,
behind lock and key, willfully,
knowingly and almost noiselessly
practiced and mastered the great
game of basket ball. How it was
done the News is forbidden to

be q large force of men at work devel-
oping the mine.
There is no reason why Hill City,

any mining town In the Black Hills.

Fire Bugs.
GOES 10 BEATRICE AFTER 1gt Dogs
Test Made Shows They are Capable
Of Following Seent-State May
Buy Them.

The possibilities are that the state
will be the possessor Of pair Of blood
hounds which are to be utilized rs
helpers in the department. Of the fire
marshal, says dispatch of recent
date.
f. A. Craft Of Mitchell, who has
charge ofthat department, has been
on the hunt for some bloodhounds
that can make good In tracking an
individual. His trip down to Beatrice,
Neb., this week was made for that
purpose, but the hounds failed to
make q good enough showing and he
did not make the purchase. On his
way back he learned of another ken
mel Of hounds at Lexington, Neb., and
got into telephone communication
with the owner, Archie Malcolm, and
he arranged to bring his hounds to
Mitchell to give them a test for the
fire marshal. Mr.. Malcolm arrived in
the city Friday morning and late Sat
urday afternoon the three hounds
were given test.
Will Dodson went about mile
northeast of Mitchell at the top Of
the hill and walked into town, taking
as much of a circuitous route as possi-
BILE. He tried to break his trail by
stepping on stones for some little dis
tance, and then turned and covered
his tracks. Along by the Omahs
tracks he climbed on the snow fence
and went block in that way to fur.
ther deceive the hounds II possible.
Dodson then went to q spot and re.
mained for the time being. The
hounds, Of which there are three,
were taken out, and the youngest ol
them was given the scent and be pick
ed up the trail immediately and never
lost 1t until he went straight to Dod.
sons retreat. The hound worked fine
every moment he was on the tral, and
it Is said that he never lost it for 8
moment. Fire Marshal Craft said
that he was exceedingly we'll pleased
with the result.
Tuesday afternoon another party
was sent out into the country short
distance to make another trail into
the city, but the dogs will not be per.
mitted to work on 1t until today.
This Is done to test the ability of the
hounds to work on a trail that is not
fresh. At the conclusion of the trial
today Mr.. Craft will arrive at de.
cision whether he will take the pair
or not. They will cost the state
about s4OO.
Some few months ago the state fire
marshal put in a request to Commits
sioner Basford Of the insurance de
partment asking for the privilege oi
purchasing the bloodhounds. He Sc,
forth the fact that the animals could
be utilized to a splendid advantage II
capturing parties who are in the bus
iness of starting fires and tracing In
cendiaries. '"There have been severa
cases." said Mr.. Craft, where I coult
have used the bloodhounds ant

than ever before.'
