EXPRESS COMPANIES
WON.T PAY TAXES

Pierre. S. D.-The state board of
equalization, or all the members of
that board save Governor Wesley,
were in session today for the purpose
of taking aepositions for use in the
suits brought by the express compan-
les operating in the state to prevent
collection of taxes on the valuations
which were placed against them by the
state assessment board for last year.
Practically all the companies operat-
ing in the state are Joined in the suit,
and as the valuation placed against
them by the state board this year
wes generally higher than that of last
year it is not likely that they will pay
anything on either year until after
the matter Las been adjudicated in
the United States court where it is
now pending One company, the
Great Western which operates on a
few miles of road in the northern part
OF the state, is not interested, and
paid its last year tax and has paid
this year ahead Of the legal require
ments without any parley.

OWES HER LIFE TO
A IN r HAIR

Pierre. S. D.-Miss Fay Harding
of this city probably owes her life to
the rat" she vas wearing yesterday
when she was thrown from a bucking
horse and struck upon her head. The
young lady had just started for a
horseback ride, when the animal Sc
cured for the occasion began to buck
and soon threw the lady heavily, she
striking fairly on her head. and stun
ming her SO that she was unconscious
for several hours. She was carried
into a nearby residence where she re-
manned until far enough recovered to
be taken to her home. The physi-
clans called to attend her say that
her hair dressing saved her from
serious injury at the least, and prob
ably saved her life, for without the
prof. zion he skull would have more
than likely have been fractured by
the fall.

AN AVALANCHE OF
RUNS WERE SCORED
HURON's HEAVYWEIGHT HIGH
SCHOOL TEAM WE'RE TOO
MUCH FOR MITCHELLIS
LIGHTER WEIGHTS.

The Mitchell high school lads came
home from Huron Sunday morning,
having played a game of football with
the high school eleven of that place.
The boys came home beaten to a
frazzle-the score being &C to 5.
The local team was weakened by
the absence Of Captain Medley, Full
back Derr and Halfback Wheaton.
The two regular ends, Smith and
Pherson, and Earl Cook had to play
the back field with quarterback Ber-
ry, Ross Smith, regular left tackle,
played fullback. H. Wheaton played
one half. These men had had no ex-
perience in their new position and
they did remarkable we'll under the
circumstances. Gordon Smith scor-
ed Mitchell's only touchdown on a
forward pass.
Huron weighed about twenty-five
pounds to the man heavier than Nit
chell. The substitutes that Mitchell
was compelled to put in had never be-
fore played in a high school game.
Mitchell plays Sioux Falls next Sat-
urday and If Medley and Derr are
able to play then, our boys stand q
good chance of winning.

HER WITH THEIR UNTlME.
In JA.,,Is.

Carthage, S. D.-Chas. Lcoby and
Jas. Geddes, OF Sanborn county, were
in this city last week and while here
absorbed a considerable quantity of
"bug-juice"-enough to make them
mean and troublesome. The result
los it was that when they started for
home they were primed for any dew
iltry. They drove into the c. L.
Shaw place, S miles west of town, up
on which Ernest Bacon lives, and
finding Mrs. Bacon and two little
children at home alone demanded
that she get them something to eat.
The lady was nearly frightened to
death by the general tough appear
ance and actions of these fellows and
of course complied with their de-
mand. While eating, they kept maxi
ing remarks to the effect that they
intended to take one of the children
home with them, and when they had
finished acted as if they intended do
ing so, to which, Of course, Mrs. Ba-
con streuously objected, and then
they said they would take her along
also. She was so badly frightened at
this that she hardly knew what she
was doing, left one child there slone
with those whelps and started On the
run for the neighbours a half mile
distant, with one child in her arms.
Part way there she let the child drop
by the side Of the road and was In
such q delirioas state she eve knew
she had dropped 1t. The fellows
picked 1t up when they came along
and driving into the next neighbours
innocently asked II they knew whose
kid 1t was and left 1t there. Mrs. Ba-
con, who al in a delicate condition
at the time, was found by the neigh
bors and DR.. Moore was summoned.
The doctor brought her through the
first stages of the resulting trouble
from such a cause, but blood poison
set in and up to the present time her
condition is precarious and grave
fears are felt that she may not re-
cover.
Mr.. Bacon, H. M. Havreberg, Ben
Heidi and L. E. McQuillan went to
Howard Friday morning and %
out warrants for the arrest of the
miscreants, and the authorities lost
no time in landing them in jail. They
were given a preliminary hearing and
bound over to the next term of court
and the bail fixed at $500 each, which
amount they put up in cash and so
are at liberty yet and a menace to ev-
cry home in the country.

high in this part of the state, as a
young man named Edward Burnt dis
covered to his sorrow. While at Avon

$4,000 which he had fixed upon it,
and O owns the property in his own
right which originally cost $500. is
the charge made at a meeting of the
creditors of the defunct bank at Chel-
sea
At the meeting it was shown from
the report OF Deputy Auditor Art
Fountain that the shortage in the
banks affairs will cause a loss Of
practically $11,9OS and the creditors
propose to determine whether the
public examiner has secured the larg-
of the institution. Furthermore. the
creditors are incensed over the man
ner in which 1t Is proposed to dispose
of the banking house and fixtures of
the institution. Fountain, represent
ing the public examiner, stated in the
meeting that George w. Hart, of
Bryant. was ready to pay $4,000 for
the outfit, which cost in excess of &c.
900, and that Hart would re-organ-
ize the bank and resume business and
in the examiners report the place is
listed at $4,000.
The creditors are not satisfied that
effort has been made TO find other
purchasers for the bank, as Fountain
declared that no more could be real
lied and that Hart had handled sew
eral other deals of similar character.
An attorney at Redfeld has been re-
tanned by the creditors of the defunct
institution and in quiry will be made
into the process of settlement of the
affairs of the institution.
