common cook stove and wishing to
heat the oven preparatory to baking
bread, kindled a not fire therein, using
freely of kerosene oil to hurry it up,
resulting later in the members OF the
family, a part of whom had already re-
tired, being driven from the house by
the fumes of gas and smoke, into the
bitter cold and snow, from the effects
of which several are seriously i'll.
Instead Of words of commentator

HOMESTAKE STRIKE

THE LOCKOUT STAGE
When Loyal Legion Contains

Mine Will Resume.

Deadwood, S. D., Jan. IA crisis il,
the Homestake lockout situation is fast
approaching and by tonight it will
probably be known whether the prop
erty will open up again now with it's
,%nonunion supporters or continue the
fight longer in order to gain more re-
cruits.
Superintendent Grier Saturday after
noon addressed a meeting of the newly
formed Homestake Loyal Legion COM
posed Of the men who have stayed with
the company, and received an offer
from that body TO start the mines and
mills as soon as they could be got in
shape. AS the legion has several hun
,dred men enrolled, Mr.. Grier
that it is only a question of whether
there are enough to make opening up
an object and took the offer under con
sideration.
Should he accept. this would leave the
union men still out in the cold, but the
company declines to say whether non
union men are TO be employed. The
situation. while tense, is entirely peace
able, and the prevailing opinion is that
the institution will be in operation
again within a couple Of weeks.

Vermillion, s. D., Jan. 12.-Had it not
been for the timely arrival of a con-
signment of coal last Saturday, the
university of South Dakota would nave
experienced a shut down" in activities
here this week. AS it is, unless relief
is Dol found in the now existing coal
famine, or the extreme cold weather
lets up, the university people may still
find themselves in straitened circum-
stances as regards fuel, i'll a couple OF
weeks. The engineers at the heating
plant gave out the statement that when
the last carload of coal arrived Satur-
day, there was barely coa enough left
to help the situation.
Glasses have not gotten pack on their
feet yet since the holiday vacation,
owing to the late arrivals of students.

irregularity of the trains, and those
who have gone to their homes in other

seth BULLOCK May
GET PINCHOT PLACE
President Considers South d.
kotan for Place in Forestry
Service.

Washington, jan. 13-In casting about
for a successor TO clifford Plnchot to head
the forestry service ii was reported today
that President Taft might offer the place
10 Seth Bullock, u. S. marshal for South
Dakota.
Albert +. Potter, designated as the act
ing head of the service, seems to be the
leading candidate, but there are persis-
tent rumors that the president may de-
eide on entirely new man.
Mr.. Bullock is' in many respects as
close a friend Of former President Roose-
Welt as is Mr.. Pinchot. He was once chief
of the forest rangers in the Black Hills
and is thoroughly familiar with the whole
subject of forestry.
The political situation In South Dakota
has been giving the president some con-
Germ of late, and Senators Crawford and
Gamble have been frequent callers at the
White House. Bullock has been desig-
mated for reappointment as marshal for
South Dakota His term expires this
month.

SANkToN LOSES BRIDGE
CASE IN COURT TRIAL

Yankton, s. D., Ian. 13.-The news
that this city had lost it's case in feder-
al court, Sioux Falls, was a great sur
prise TO citizens here unacquainted with
the way juries decide when a lone indi-
vidual is bringing suit against a COR
poration. The evidence clearly showed
the bridge was not constructed accord
ing to plans and specifications, in fact
that only go barrels of cement were
used, when the contract called for AT.
The city council has not yet met to
decide what its next step will be, but
1t will probably decide to appeal.
The annual report of the county treas
urer shows for the first time in the
history OF the county that 1t owns
more than il owes. The figures show
the county to be worth S271, $50, while
the indebtedness is S23S.300
The annual vital statistics for this
county are disappointing. They show
S2g births. only a few more than the
previous year; ia deaths, 20 increase
over 1908, and 124 marriages, only two
an FAD OF the year before.

GIRL NOT COMMITTED
TO INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL

Deadwood, S. D., Jan. -. - When
County Judge Russell declined 10 COM
nit Myrtle Barbour, a 16-year-old
Spearfish girl, to h state industrial
school, as requested in the petition Of
her mother, Mrs. John w. Avery, he
concluded another chapter in the un-
usual history of the girls life.
The child first came into notoriety
oven a year g in New York city when
she was discovered by her mother, then
Mrs. Charles S. Barbour, the divorced
wife of an actor, in a secluded convent.
The mother charged that her daughter
had been kidnapped from her by the ia
Their, when their domestic troubles
arose, and hidden. By habeas corpus
proceedings in the New York courts,
the mother obtained possession of the
girl and brought her to her new home
in Speartish. Recently, it is claimed,
all has not been harmony in the Avery
home and the mother charged that the
girl was incOrrigible and sought to have
her sent to the reform school. The
court after hearing the testimony could
find nothing against the girl and or
dered her sent back to her mother in
Spearfish with instructions for the girl
to report by letter TO the court reg
ularly, how she and her mother agreed.

AGED 5 YEARS,
TRAVELS ACROSS
CONTINENT ALONE

Pierre, S. D., Jan. 13.-While the rush
of homesteaders into the country west
of the Missouri river has resulted in
many small travellers going over the
line of the Northwestern road through
here, ticketed and tagged for certain
places, the youngest of such wee trav-
elers stopped here on her way from
Midland, this state, to Stockton, Cal.
She was little Louise Larson. just .
years old. Her mother is a widow at
Midland, and the little daughter was a
handicap in earning her living. A well
TO do uncle in California agreed to care
for the little one if she were sent TO
him, and the wee traveller is on her
road. She came in toe late for regular
connections, and spent a part of the
night curled up in one of the arm
chairs in the station waiting room,
wrapped in the fur coat of the night
ticket agent, who saw that she was
started on the right train. The little
miss did not appear ito be worried
by the long trip before her, and took
the wait philosophically. She carried
a letter entrusting her to the care OF
conductors and station agents along her
route, and will no doubt go through
just as safely as any seasoned traveller.
