CONVICTED OF MURDER
A. E. Stumbaugh. of Belle Fourche
Guilty of Manslaughter.

In the trial of A. E. Stumbauph for
the murder of Louis Arpan, which was
held at Belle Fourohe this week. the
jury found the defendant guilty of
manslaughter in the first degree. The
killing occurred northwest of Belle
Fourche last summer and was over a
dispute about line fence. The mur
der was an unusually cold blooded one
and the verdict Will be generally an.
proved.
Another rather peculiar case now on
in the Butte county court is that of q
rancher against the government, for
alleged damages to his ranch caused
by the seepage of water from the biz
government dam. The Butte county
ranchers have been "hollering" for
water and now it seems that this one
has too much of a good thing.-Spear.

High School Team Defeats
Fast Rapid City Bunch
Here Saturday
GOOD sCORE--1o TO O
Was Good Game From Start to Fini,h..
Free From Serious Injurie.-.Lead
City Here on Oct. 29th.

For the first time since football has
been played in the Hot Springs high
school the team showed an attack on
their opponents that failed to appear
during the first half of all previous
games. Starting off with the speed and
precision of we'll oiled machine, for.
ward passes, fake plays, and line bucks
the locals carried the ball over for the
first touchdown after seven minutes of
play, Saturday. The Indians then took
brace and the period and half ended
with the score 5 to o.
The second half was repetition of
the hrst being an exhibition of fierce
football for short time which netted
the second touchdown after which there
seemed to be let down which nearly
resulted in score by the visitors.
The Visitors appeared on the ground
early for quite lengthy signal practice
and were waiting, when at 2:45. the
locals came onto the field led by Capt.
Putnam for short signal practice.
The Indian School won the toss and
chose to receive the ball at the south
goal. Wilbur started the game by a
kickoff to the Is yard line where the
ball was recovered by Violin. Hot
Springs was unable to gain and the
ball went to the Indian school. On
the first play tumble behind the line
was recovered by Jensen and. now be-
gan an onslaught that could not be
stopped. End runs by Dennis and
Violin placed the ball inside the five
yard line and Captain Putnam plunged
through the line for the first touch
down. WILDER missed goal.
The remainder of this period as we'll
as the next was q sewsaw back and
forth and was marked by many fumbles.
The half ended with the ball in the
middle Of the field.
The second half opened with the
locals defending the south goal where
Strouse received the kickoff and re-
turned the ball to the fifty yard line
Forward passes to Mueller and Jen-
sen netted from ten to twenty-five yards
each while Putnam was always good for
from five to fifteen yards through the
holes made by Huebner, Leach and
Gillespie
AS in the first part of the first half
this period was marked by speed and
onslaught that could not be stopped
and the second touchdown came after
four minutes of play in this half, when
Putnam plowed through for the second
touchdown. Wilbur missed goal.
During the last few minutes of play
the Indian school came to the fray
with an attack that netted yard after
yard on the march toward the local
goal. The squirt came too late, how.
ever, and time was called with the ball
in possession of the Indian school on
the local six yard line. Score 10 too.
On Saturday, October Goth, Lead City
high school will play the local team in
this city, and it is the hope of the
management that everybody will turn
out and root for the boys. Remember
Lead City, October Doth.

GLACIERS ARE RETREATING.
Withdraw From Lowlands to Noun
tains, Scientists Find.

Scientists aver that save over q
small area the glaciers Of the world
are retreating to the mountains. The
glacier of Mount Sarmiento, in South
America, which descended to the sea
when Darwin found it in 1886, is now
separated from the shore by vigor-
Gus growth of timber.
The Jacobshaven glacier, in Green
land, has retreated four miles since
1850, and the East glacier, in Spleen
bergen. is more than mile away from
its old terminal moraine. In Scandi-
navia the snow line is farther up the
mountains, and the glaciers have with
drawn 1900 feet from the lowlands in
a century.
The Arapahoe glacier, in the Rocky
mountains, with characteristic Ameri-
can enterprise has been melting at a
rapid rate for several years. In the
eastern Alps and one or two other
small districts the glaciers are grow
ing In view of these facts we should
not be too skeptical when old men
assure us that winters nowadays are
not to be compared with the winters
Of their boyhood.

HORSES ANCESTOR WAS
SIZE OF FOX TERRIER.
Four Toed Eohippus Found In North
western Wyoming.

The skeleton of horse which must
have been about the size of modern
fox terrier and had four toes has been
found by an exploring party In charge
Of Professor Walter Granger, repre-
senting the American Museum Of Nat
ural History of New York. This is the
oldest ancestor of today's horse ever
found on the American continent
The party was sent out expressly to
look up the evolution Of Dobbin. A
large part of the bad lands" OF Wyo'
ming was canvassed without result
Then in the Big Horn valley the dis
covery in equine evolution was made.
1t 'appears that this horse Of several
hundreds of thousands of years age
was about one and half feet tall and
resembled a hippopotamus and tapir
as much as it did the present horse
Scientists say the modern horses hooi
is not foot, but a toe. corresponding
horse has three more toes,SO be sure
but they are merely "splints" concealed
beneath the skin of the leg.
In many other respects besides his
abundance of toes is this little eohip
pus unlike his modern descendant. His
skeleton was found in the lower eocent
formation, geologically speaking, which
means that the stratum containing the
skeleton was formed nearly q million
years ago
