DUTCH HENRY" DISAPPEARS
Black Hill Character Cannot
Live IN a House.

An old man known as ''Dutch
Henry who for many years has been
one OF the queerest characters of this
portion OF the Black Hills has had it
plainly demonstrated to him that he
must live in house or a cabin. For
years he made his home in a tunnel
in Lookout Mountain, on Castle creek.
Comparatively recent he built a cabin
purchased some furniture and COM
Portable bedding and prepared to live
in a civilized fashion. But he was
not to be left unmolested in his new
home, for the other day it caught fire
from the stove pipe and was destroyed.
10 add to the misfortune of he old
man the flames were communicated
to the surrounding forest and in a
short time a small forest fire was in
full swing. The frightened man hur-
ried to Mystic to inform the forest
reserve rangers what had occurred so
they could proceed to the scene and
put out the fire. Then the old man
disappeared and not a tract of his
whereabouts is known. 1t is probable
that he has again taken refuge in
some abandoned tunnel and will MAIN
tain it as his habitation until he
"crosses the divide. Mystic dispatch.

The Suffrage Campaign il
South Dakota

A new impetus has been given to
the South Dakota suffrage campaign
since the Headquarters have been in
charge of Mrs. Sheldon. She is an
indeftigable worker, and thousands
of letters have been sent out from
there in the last two months. One
newspaper designates the suffragists
as ''most persistant campaigners.
All over the state the sutfragists
are now working harmoniously and
effectively. The Black Hills country
and all of the western portion of the
State are conceded to the Amend
ment. In the Southern counties,
Rev. Henrietta Lyman of Pierre has
done very fine work.
The Conservation Congress, Mime
haha Institute, Pennington County
Institute and several other organiza-
tions have endorsed the Amendment
by resolution. Miss Rose Bower,
Mrs. Jetfries, Mrs. Pettigrew, Mr..
French, DR.. Aylesworth, Mrs. Julius
johnson and Mrs. Jackson are all
working faithfully in the field beside
other interested women, even in the
remote corners of this great state.
Among the newspapers there is little
opposition and much help. All of the
members Of the Press Committee are
active, and many columns of suffrage
matter appear in the paper weekly.
At no time since the Amendment
was passed has the outlook for success
been SO favorable. A victory for
South Dakota is a victory for every
state. We believe that we are going
to win.-Edith M. Fitch in The Wo-
mans Journal.

Cold Winter Predicted

An early cold winter is predicted as
usual, by all kinds of weather proph-
cts from the traditional Indian to the
old timer from the south, and the
trapper in the far north. Those in
charge of zoos" and other park
keepers join with these wise ones in
predicting early and fierce cold. The
Indian notes that the squirrels are
laying in more than commonly large
supplies of nuts, acorns or anything
else he can lay his hands on, or feet
rather The black birds 1t is noticed,
are getting together fully a month
earlies for their camp meeting rendi-
tion of popular airs, before going
south, and the willy muskrat is not
only building in very deep water far
from shore, but he is putting up ex-
ceptionally thick walled huts, and
doing it in coat seldom equalled in
thickness at any time Of the year. 1t
has been noticed, too, that ducks,
looms and other web-foots do not stay
long on the lakes, but have a nervous,
uneasy way in their movements,
which indicate that the old nick or a
hard winter, at least, is after them.
The ZOO and park keepers are espec-
tally exercised over the fact that
bears and other animals with similar
habits have shed their coats fully a
month earlier than usual, and are at
the same time laying on an astonish-
ing amount of fat, which is supposed
to protect and provide for them dur
ing the cold of winter Horn she'd
ding animals of the deer family are
dispensing Of their warlike encum-
brances fully four weeks earlier than
usual, and what is still more threat
ening, in doing so, rubs them higher
up on the trees than ever known be-
fore, which indicates correspondingly
deep snow.
AS if all this were not enough to
cause the most neglectful to lay in a
big and early supply Of fuel and feed
the old farmer from Southern Indiana
finds that he has to claw through a
more than commonly thick husk to
get at the very early maturing corn.
There are many other things which
go to prove that an early, cold and
deep snow winter is near at band, all
of which should be needed And then
after we have laid in an early and
liberal supply of fuel and feed, and
have everything banked up and cozy
for winter, if, as we presume it will
be, we find ourselves with a late,
warm fall, and mild, open winter,
no harm will have been done, while
in the reverse should prove true,
these prophets of evil will have ac-
complished world of good.-Dakota
Farmer.

The contest between New Orleans
and San Francisco for the Worlds
Panama Exposition in 1915 runs mer-
rily on. The New Orleans Exposition
Committee is distributing throughout
the Country illogical point map"
according to which there are seventy
cities within an average distance of
900 miles from New Orleans, with a
combined population of 10000, 900,
while within the same average dis
tance of San Francisco there are
only eight cities, having a combined
pupolation of 100000 people. New
Orleans principal claim is that if the
Exposition be given to San Francisco
the people of this country would be
penalized 5000, 100000 in railroad fare
over what it would cost to go the
Crescent City.

$4,000 DAMAGE SUIT
STARTED AT STORGIS
Nellie Mcmahon Sued for
Damages by Heirs of the
Late David P. Thomas

Yesterday afternoon papers were
filed at the court house beginning
suit against Mrs. Nellie Mcmahon
for $4,000 damages, for the murder
of ID. p. Thomas. The matter is in
the hands of Attorney e. p. Andrews
of Hampton, Iowa, who has been
here several days preparing the case
The family of the late D. p.
Thomas, consisting of wife and five
children were left nearly destitute
and thus suit has been brought for
the purpose of compelling Mrs. Nc
Mahon to render all the assistance
possible in the caring for and educa-
ting the five little one, who have
been left homeless and fatherless by
her thoughtless and inhuman deed.
We understand that Mrs. Mcmahon
has just begun to realize that the
murder of David Thomas was a
thoughtless and inhuman deed. AS
the time draws near for her trial for
the murder of Thomas, she becomes
more nervous and is counting the
days and hours before the trial while
she should be resting.
She says In letter to friend: 81
never slept at all last night, am just
heart-broken over this terrible trouble.
Such an awful crime, 1 don't see how
l am ever going to stand to hear this
terrible trial "-Sturgis Standard

Telephone Company
improvements

The improvements and extensions
which the Nebraska Telephone COM
pany are installing in the Balck Hills
at present will amount to many
thousands of dollars. These improve
ments extend to almost every line Of
the company in this part of the state
and are of such character that they
will greatly increase the efficiency of
the service.
There has been laid down between
Rapid City and Pierre $4,000 worth
of No. 8 copper wire, which will be
strung in the near future, thus giving
the Black Hills a copper circuit con-
nection with the eastern part of the
state. 1t is probable that this will
mean the extension of copper cir
cult to Sioux City and eventually put
Deadw ood into long distance connec-
tion with Omaha and Chicago. An
other important improvement is the
stringing of a direct copper line be-
tween Deadwood and Hot Springs,
allowing the iron wire now in use to
be employed for local business be-
tween these two points, and giving
the various stations copper line to
Deadwood, Hill City, Custer or Hot
Spridgs when needed. A force OF
twelve men are now engaged in put
ting up this wire.
There will also be copper line be-
tween Deadwood and Rapid City
which is now being constructed. A
further improvement is the installa-
tion Of a copper circuit between
Deadwood and Sturgis which will go
by way Of Whitewood instead of
down Boulder canyon, as at present.

To Have Alfalfa Mill

Capitalists from Omaha and this
city are reported to be figuring on the
construction of a large alfalfa meal
mill here. During the past few years
the agricultural districts surround
ing this city have been steadily in
creasing in the output of alfalfa and
there is large market and good rail
road facilities for such plant here.
The stock raisers in western South
Dakota are expected to be heavy
buyers of the product of this mill for
their stock and similar mills in
Nebraska have proved highly success
full.

Investigation of the electrical pos
sibilities Of the property of the West
inghouse Electric & Manufacturing
company near Custer has just been
made by Paul M. Lincoln, one of the
consulting engineers of the company
who came here from Pittsburg, to 90
over the works. The company operates
seven mica mines near Custer and
ships large quantities of this mater
ial east monthly. 1t is now figuring
on the possibility of constructing an
electrical transmission line from the
plant OF the Dakota Power company
at Pactola north of there to the
mines. This line, if constructed.
would cost approximately 100000 and
would transmit power at $4,000 volts.
1t is expected to give to the town of
Custer and the various mining pro-
jects right around it, about $50 horse
power and by coming through Key
stone and Hill City, transmit electri-
Cal power to the numerous mining
properties in those sections.
Mr.. Lincoln went thoroughly over
the ground here and was accompanied
by some of the well-known mining
men of this section. The project. if
undertaken, would be the biggest
thing for the Southern Black Hills
ever attempted as it would furnish
cheap power to SO many of the strug-
Cling mining companies in this sec
tion that require but such a stimulus
to make them profited. No report on
the investigation by Mr.. Lincoln will
be made public until after he has
consulted with the company officials
in the east.
