SAVED LIVES WITH
SHOEANDSTOCKING
YOUNG WOMAN SHOWS RARE
PRESENCE OF MIND WHEN
FACED WITH DEATH IN
A ROWBOAT,

jamestown, N, d.. Aug. Sword has
been received here of the thrilling ex-
perience of Miss Eileen Kurtzpaugh, OF
Evanston. Illinois, and her younger
sister while crossing Jim lake in the
northern part OF Stutsman county, In a
rowboat
Miss Kurtzpaugh, who is visiting
relatives, and her younger sister start
ed to row across thee lake last
evening in a tin boat The boat had
recently sprung a leak and had been
repaired by soldering a piece of tin
over the aperture. When almost in the
middle of the lake the tin patch fell
off and the water entered rapidly at
the hole.
1t was impossible for the boat to
reach shore and inasmuch as there was
nothing with which to bail out the
water, it seemed that the boat would
swamp before help could arrive. Miss
Kurtzpaugh called to her sister to take
the oars and with rare presence of
mind quickly removed her stocking,
stuffed up the hole as best she could
and with her oxford slipper kept the
boat bailed out while her sister pulled
for the nearest shore. When the land
ing was effected there was less than
half an inch of water In the bottom
Of the boat. ..4..,

DEPUTY game
WARDEN PINCHED
SENT TO PENITENTIARY FOR
TWO AND A HALF YEARS IN
SHORT ORDER.

Dickinson, NJ D., Aug. 9.--Deputy
Sheriff Rithschnler Of Gladstone ar
rested one ETA. Perkins last week
who had been hanging around that
village for month or six weeks in
the capacity OF deputy game warden,
charging him with burglarizing the
store of the Gladstone Mercantile Co,
Monday night preceding When ar
rested Perkins denied all knowledge Of
the crime and proclaimed his limo
cence in the strongest kind of terms,
but inasmuch as some of the missing
articles from the store were found upon
the person of the accused the deputy
took no stock in his innocence and
brought him to Dickinson that evening
by auto rote. AS Justice Reilly of
Gladstone was away from home il was
necessary to bring him here. He was
taken before Justice Folsome for pre-
liminary hearing at which he pleaded
guilty as charged. Commitment to the
district court was issued and Judge
w. c. Crawford sentenced the young
official to two and one-half years at
hard labor in the penitentiary at Bis
marck. ..t
Nothing Is known at Gladstone who
Perkins is or where he came from
though his appointment as deputy
game warden appears to be regular
and bears the number of 722,

FAKE INSPECTOR
GETS The "DOOTS"

iceland, N. D, Aug. "a stranger
autoed into iceland, sized up the town,
and made diagram of the principal
streets, and located thereon two build
ings in particular. He then went into
the places and made diagrams of the
interiors showing the position of the
fixtures, etc. He is said to have
represented himself to be revenue
inspector and to have secured sum
Of hush. money from the man in
charge Of one of the places to protect
the fellow from prosecution and trou-
BILE with the government, until a re-
tail liquor dealers license could be
secured in regular order. The other
fellow, however, when approached in
a similar manner, demanded to see the
strangers credentials, and upon being
told that they had been lost promptly
ordered him out of the place. Accord
ing to reports the inspector was APP
pretended In Emmons county and dis
gorged the money he had secured in
iceland, and more as well.

Glen Ullin, N. D., Aug. n.-The Far

with about $50 in cash, which was left
in the till, part Of which was govern

Thomas Harrington, who is postmas.
ter and owns store at that place,
has his residence not far from the
store. He states that during the storm
that night he once thought he saw
a man standing near the store when
the surroundings were illuminated by
a flash of lightning. But thinking that
he might be mistaken and that it was
only a post he paid no more attention
to it. In the morning, however, he
found that his first impression had
been correct, as the pace had been
broken into and the money taken.

MUNICIPAL LOANS
! Are REFUSED
THE BOARD or UNIVERSITY AND
SCHOOL LANDS WILL CUT
DOWN INVESTMENTS.

: Bismarck, y. D., Aug. 9.-The last
meeting of the board of school and
university lands was full of interest
and three important moves were
made.
4 1t was decided that applications for
the purchase of municipal bonds
would not be considered until such
time as there is money in the fund
and 1t is stated that for about two
years that ruling will hold. This prob
ably means the death of the fire hall
proposition, as the caH for election
makes provision for the money to be
secured at per cent interest and
heretofore Az is the best that has
been obtainabIe from private parties.
IL Is Just possible, but not probable,
that the city will be able to get the
money elsewhere for that rate, but 1t
has been impossible 90 do so in the
past. There were approved applica-
ttions for farm loans to the amount OF
s250,000. This amount is unusually
large on account of the shortage OF
crops. This money is loaned out at
Az per cent and only where the
farmer making application has an i'm
proved and unincumbered farm and
the application has been passed upon
and approved by the county auditor
and superintendent of schools in
which the land is located.
wv. E Sellens, present deputy coun-
ty auditor, was recommended for the
appointment to the position in the
bond and mortgage department to
take the place made vacant by the
resignation Of w. p. Coates, who has
been an efficient worker in that de-
partment for some time. Mr.. Coates
is to move to South Dakota, where
he has taken up a claim which he
secured at the time Of the recent
drawing in the Standing Rock Indian
observation drawing. The place pays
"a salary of $1,000 per year, and Mr..
~Sellens Is receiving the congratula-
tions of his friends upon his appoint
ment. He will assume his new duties
Sept. 1.
A resolution was passed at the
meeting asking the land commission
er to attempt to reorganize his force
of clerks and deputies with the idea
of reducing the expense of running
the Office.
There was other routine business
transacted, but nothing that was Of
public interest. The last meeting
was probably the most interesting and
the busiest that has been held By
the board of school and university
lands for a long time.

CROP CONDITIONS
IN NORTHERN S. D.

Aberdeen, s. D., Aug. &c. J. Blu
holz, local manager of the Information
al Harvester Co.'s northern South Da-
kota branch, has returned from three
days crop inspection trip over the
northern and eastern portions of the
state, the last of several similar trips
he has made during the summer He
states harvesting and threshing are far
enough along so q fair idea of crop
yields is obtainable. One farmer at
Houghton, In this (Brown) county. re-
ported a yield of 1S bushels to the acre
of wheat; another at Plana got 16
bushels. From Hecla which is near the
North Dakota line, on to Cakes, N. D.,
neither harvesting nor threshing Is far
advanced. Mr.. Buholz is planning an
other crop inspection trip, west of the
Missouri river, where reports are quite
discouraging. 1t is said machinery
dealers there have practically all their
stock on hand, because the crops are
not sufficient to induce farmers to buy
new machinery. 1t is this region that
has been settled within the past two
or three years, the bulk Of it within a
yCe@lS anu the partial IdIIuIb VIII prove
hardship to many homesteaders.
Other reports in this immediate vi
cinity are decidedly encouraging. The
Wenx brothers, prominent farmers near
Bath, secured an average yield of Is
bushels of wheat; M. o. Gram, a neigh
Dor, reports a yield of 16 bushels; Matt
Chalcraft threshed. 1913 bushels of
wheat from s55 acres. James Regain
threshed but II bushels9to the acre of
bluestem wheat, which has suffered
from rust somewhat, but his other va
rieties averaged II bushels. G. J. Simp-
son reports a yield of 10 bushels. w.
E. Burton, who. owns a tract of rich
James river bottom land near the town
Of James, has a record breaking yield
for this year, of 80 bushels to the acre!
Other reports from over the state
are: g. o..
Eureka.-Farmers in every direction
from this town bring cheering reports
of yields much larger than expected
The grain Is short, but the berry is
well filled out and is of good color and
weight Oats, barley and fax are a
short crop.
DeSmet.-Oats and barley light;
wheat exceptionally good, Harry Rem
ner reporting yield of 80 bushels to
the acre, and other farmers doing near
ly as well.
Milbank.-J. F. Miller Of Alban
township raised 10 bushels to the acre
of wheat, and from 35 acres OF oats
he threshed Lip bushels.
Woonsocket. - Wheat yields good; :
corn is doing we'll. Early oats are
going from Is to rs bushels to the acre;
late oats will run from 20 to 35 bushels.
Faulkton.-P. H. O'NeiIl, after an au-
tomobile trip through the county of
Faux, estimates small grain, except
barley, will average half a crop. Bar
ley will not yield half crop. Corn is
looking fine.
This section of South Dakota was
visited by fine rain on Sunday night.
