that the number killed in battle be-

day night was at least 100. Some re-
ports say the dead may total 500.
On the other hand late advices from

report that 400 persons were killed in

that no word Of any disorder at Zacate-

the Mexican border. passed quietly.
Reports received by the agents OF the
federal government here are to the ef-
feet that no outbreaks occurred at any
point along the Rio Grande,
The condition prevailing was prob
ably due to the alertness of both the
Mexican and the United States govern
ments. Mexico is massing troops on
the border. Reinforcements arrived at
Matamoras, Neuvo Laredo, Cuidad Por-
firio Diaz and Juarez. There Is now
a regiment in each OF these border
cities.
The anxiety of the American govern
ment was shown by the fact that four
troops Of cavalry were ordered out
from Fort Clark to assist in preventing
arms being smuggled into Mexico or
revolutionary bands slipping across.

An S.Year.Old Hero.

Wallace Nelson, aged 8, the little son
of residents of the eastern portion of
Sioux Falls, proved himself hero by
rescuing from drowning 6-year-old
companion, Floyd johnson. The two
children were playing at an abandoned
quarry hole which it partly filled with
water, when the johnson boy fell in.
Instead of running for help, the Nelson
boy went to the assistance of his little
companion, and by reaching stick to
him managed to hold him above water
and drew him slowly to the steep side
of the hole. But the strength of the
Nelson boy was not great enough to
draw the smaller boy out of the water,
and hanging on to him, he cried Justify
for help, which arrived when both boys
were almost exhausted. The smaller
boy was unconscious for time, but
soon recovered from his experience.

Blow Restores Hearing.

To have the hearing in one of his
ears restored by blow delivered while
he was acting as one of the principals
in an imitation of the Johnson-J effries
prize fight was the experience of Sam
uel Schwart, well known resident of
Harrisburg, small town near Sioux
Falls. Schwartz had been deaf in both
ears for number of years and had
been under the care of specialists
without success. While engaged in a
boxing bout his foot slipped on loose
board and at the same time the right
fist of Arthur Smith, his boxing COM
.panion struck him a violent blow under
one of his ears. Instantly Schwart
heard a sound like the rushing of
waters, and now the hearing in the ear
has been fully restored. So pleased is
he that he has now offered a standing
reward of $50 to anyone who will
strike him on the other ear with the
same result.

States Artesian Well Resources

During a recent address before a
body of educators in Sphinx county,
Prof. E. c. Perisho, of the state uni
versity at Vermillion, gave some inter-
esting information concerning the
artesian well resources of South
Dakota. The first artesian we'll in
what now is the state of South Dakota
was sunk at old Fort Randoll in 1880.
This well was put down by the govern
ment and water was struck at depth
Of 6l0 feet. Later in the same year
two wells were sunk at Yankton, both
of which were successful. In 1883 the
Milwaukee railway company had
drilled at Ashton what proved to be a
famous artesion well. Water was
struck in this case at the depth of
about 900 feet. Since that time a
large number of artesian wells have
been drilled in all parts of the state.
Improved methods of drilling have
greatly reduced the cost of these wells.
Artesion wells which years ago cost
several thousand dollars in these
modern days can be drilled for few
hundred dollars. At the present time
there are in the neighborhood of 1000
artesian wells in South Dakota.

Laneston Held for Trial.

Influential South Dakotans residing
in Gregory and Trip counties have
interested themselves in the case of j.
E. Langston, who short time ago
was arrested and taken to Blackjack,
Ark, on the charge of murder. 1t is
alleged that he killed his rival in love
affair there, but failed to win the girl.
Information has reached his South
Dakota friends that as the result of his
preliminary hearing he has been held
for trial and will be compelled to
remain in jail until next October.
Langston appeared in South Dakota
some months ago, drew a homestead
in the government lottery on the coded
portion of the Rosebud Indian reserva-
ton and took up his residence there.
The detective, who after long search
arrested him, asserted that the crime
charged against him was committed
about two years ago.

Married in White Man STYLE.

An Indian girl and Sioux warrior
from the Cheyenne river Indian reser-
walton were the principals in wedding
which took place at Selby Saturday,
they having decided to be married in
white man. style: Not the least
interesting features of the wedding
were the unique names borne by the
BRIDE and groom, the warriors name
being Peter Pretty Bear, while the
bride had the novel name of Fannie
Hates Him. Fortunately for her this
name now has been discarded and she is
plain Mrs. Pretty Bear.

To Irripate and Drain.

The diversity of South Dakota is
in two large projects which are taking
up the time of State Engineer Lea.
One is in Clark county, drainage pro-
ject, which will cost over 500, 600. The
ditch will at one place be thirty feet in
depth, and will drain large area of
swamp land. The engineer has been
making estimates on a tunnel lined
with reinforced concrete to take the
place of the deepest portion of the
ditch.
The tunnel will be more costly in con-
struction, but ditch of that width,
with the necessary ground for disposal
of the earth taken out, means the TAX
ing up of a wide strip of ground and
Zone land owner is asking for 81, 800 for
the right-of-way wanted. The tunnel
plan would eliminate this expense, and
would allow the use of the land for
agriculture which would be taken by
the open ditch. Just what plan will be
used will have to be decided by the
persons interested before the work is
begun.
The other project on which the
engineer is working is an irrigation
plan for the country east of Rapid City.
This will mean the expenditure of
practicallyS2, 900, 900 before it is COM
pleted. The project will store the
waters of Rapid creek in months when
they are not needed for irrigation and
hold them until they are needed. 1t
will take ditch twenty-five miles in
length to carry the water to the pro-
posed storage reservoir.

Hairpin Runs Auto,

Stranded in grove near ST.
Lawrence with a load of autoists, the
spark plug having been taken from his
machine, Mayor Christ, of Miller, was
about to settle down for the night
when lady of the company suggested
that common hairpin from her head
might make the electrical connection
necessary to drive the automobile. The
mayor, in order to please the fair one,
said he would try the experiment,
though he believed there was no merit
in so simple a remedy for dead auto.
Sure enough, as soon as the hairpin
was attached to the spark plug wire
electricity flashed through the machine
and it sarted off at full speed, taking
the party home quickly.

Record Price for Land

All former records for prices paid
per acre for Minnehaha county farm
land were broken a day or two ago,
when Geooge Barley, an Iowa farmer
paid $112.50 per acre for what is known
as the T. M. householder farm of 16O
acres, situated three miles northwest
of Sioux Falls. This is the top price
paid for Minnehaha county and South
Dakota land. This is not Mr.. Bakley's
first experience with farm land in this
state. About year ago he made a
trip here from Odebolt, Iowa, and pur-
chased what is known as the Manley
farm near Sioux Falls, paying S65 per
acre. Less than month ago he sold
his farm for $92. so per acre.

Up to Hirninp.

The county commissioners of Pen
nington county have raised a very
important question relative to the tax
ing of the undivided profits of banks.
The banks of that county upon beng
asked to list their undivided profits for
taxation refused. Thereupon the com
missioners decided that the question
was too much for them and resolved to
put it up to the state auditor. In Mr..
Hirning's decision all are interested.
Should he decide that the undivided
profits of banks are taxable the bank
ers will take the matter to the sup
RENE court for final settlement.
