s. BY PASSING TRAIN
TRAMP LAID DOWN BY RAILROAD
TRACK HAD HIS SKULL Bad
LY CRUSHED BY PASS
ING TRAIN.

With the back Of his head badly
crushed in and blood flowing profuse-
~ from the wound, the body of r. l..
Maxman was found about 8 o'clock
this morning on the Milwaukee right
of way west of the city, close to the
building of the Robert Lytle COM
pany. Beside him lay asleep his COM
panion. Both men were tramps and
In the evening had been in the city
and 1t Is presumed that possibly they
had been drinking and laid them
selves down to sleep close to the
track. Maxman vas evidently so close
that he was struck by the pilot of the
engine, as his position parallel to
the track and the direction of his
body would bear out such a theory.
The discovery was made at the
time mentioned by a hoboe who was
walking north along the Milwaukee
track. As he approached the Lyle
factory building he say a man asleep
near the track and woke him up, with
the intention of warning him as to
the danger from a passing train.
when the sleeping man was
awakened he looked around for
his companion with whom he had
gone to sleep some time before. The
two found the body Of Maxman lying
ahnnf e feet from tho track in tho
condition described above. His coat
was found on the rails, evidently
torn to shrewds by a passing train.
Officers vermilyea and Rub, Corner
Bower and DR.. w. r. Ball, were
notified.
The man was removed to the hos
pital and operated upon for a de-
pressed fracture of the skull. A large
amount of blood had clotted and was
released but the unfortunate victim
died this morning without regaining
consciousness. In his clothes was
found about So in money and a few
papers by which he could be identi-
fed. He vas about 40 years Of age
and his clothes and appearance were
very respectable. The two tramps
who were connected with the case
were locked up as there were several
particulars in which their stories did
not agree. The corners jury will meet
at the court house this afternoon.

AUTOMOBILES CUT

KANSAS MOTHERS CAN'T TAKE

Topeka. Kan.-Are Kansas moth
ers kept SO busy with their automo-
biles that they haven't time for
babies?
This seems to be the case. The
vital statistics gathered by the State
Board of Health shows a decrease
Of 2,13O babies born in 1909 from
the number born in 1908.
81 am ashamed of the record,'
said E. T. Fairfield, who has Just
completed the school census statistics
for the present school year. There
is nothing better anywhere than some
fine. fat babies playing around the
house, and tire is no interest
ing happening anywhere than to
watch little children studying thir
first books.
while we should feel proud that
she average Kansas farmer is pros
porous enough to own an automobile
1t is deplorable that with the advent
of the bubble wagon the births
should begin falling of.
"In 1907 there were $500 babies
born in Kansas. In 1908 the baby
crop was $3.50, a decrease Of 10.
The total for 1909 was 23,S50. a de-
crease of 2,13O for the year."

AUDITORIUM
FOR S%AENGERFEST
THOUSANDS ATTENDING OPENING
PERFORMANCE BY 600 NOR
WEGIAN AND DANISH
SINGERS AT SIOUX
FALLS.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Six hundred
singers filling the great auditorium
with the harmony of their voices
marked the closing of the first public
concert to be given by the Northwest
ern Norwegian-Lanish Singers > as
ISOLATION in this city. The auditor
ium was packed with the thousands
who were anxious to hear the music
OF one of the greatest singing organ
izations in America and those who
were fortunate enough to be present
consider that they were given one
of the grandest entertainments of
their lives. An elaborate program of
music was carried out and one that
would be difficult of being duplicated
by any society.
The members Of the societies who
arrived yesterday and Thursday held
their afternoon exercises and then
went through their rehearsal at the
auditorium preparatory for the even
ing entertainment. Classical selec-
tions, folk lore songs and patriotic
airs were the chief forms Of songs
rendered and in every instance the
great chorus was given a tremendous
ovation in the nature of applause.
The solosists also received the
voiced APPROVAL of the audience and in
some instances an encore of applause.
Following the concert there was an
adjournment and the members of the
chorus were entertained by a social
session at the sangerfest headquar-
tiers.

plan to. enact a statute requiring
that all oil companies making ship
ments into the state erect at least
one storage tank within the state,
where oil may be inspected and the
shipments made from that point. In
this way all oil could be inspected
before being 'barrelled. At present
the inspection fee required is not
sufficient to pay the expenses of the
inspector to make the inspection Of
a single shipment, even if he we're
appraised when the shipment we're
made, which he is not.
"Some of the companies are object
ing to the amount of fees paid, not
SO much from the fact that the fee
is excessive as from the fact that
the amount required to run the
Office is not sufficient to balance the
amount of fees paid; They insist that
it is not the intention of the law to
make this Office a revenue producer
for the state but simply to make it
self sustaining"
In this connection he calls at
tention to the fact that the law as
it stands provides for payment of
necessary railroad, stage and steam
boat fares" in addition to $50 a
month for each deputy, and makes no
provisions for hotel expenses for the
deputies, which he considers unfair.
He suggests that the next legisla-
tive session amend the law, and al
low deputies SIS per month, and all
necessary travelling expenses.

HANSON COUNTY WILL
PAY FOR 40 PER CENT
THAT is LIMIT OF EXPENSE COM
MISSlONERS WILL ALLOW
FOR BRIDGE ON COUNTY
LINE,

Alexandria Herald: The Hanson
county commissioners, accompanied
by Auditor Volz and States ATTORNEY
VanDemark, had a session with the
Dawson county commissioners at
Mitchell Monday relative to the Cas-
sem bridge matter. 1t will be remem-
bered that Dawson county attempted
to force about &C feet of the bridge
upon this county, but our commits
sioners would not stand for the gift,
and arranged with Engineer Mather
for another survey of the disputed
boundary, which left SO feet this
mount is the limit and as the mat
ter now stands it is Dawson county's
move.
To a man up a tree it appears that
Dawson county is trying to run a
bluff upon Hanson county. Instead
of dividing the bridge expense in
proportion to the amount owned by
each county, the Dawson county Off
Gals have declared themselves as
favoring an equal assessment upon
both counties for the upkeep of the
bridge. Their action may be good
f1nanciering for their county but
there is nothing pertaining to the
square deal" therein.
The survey was admitted to be cor
rect by the Dawson county commits
sioners but even at that they de-
manded that Hanson county stand an
equal share of building and maintain
ing the structure. AS the bridge is
100 feet in length, the Hanson coun-
ty officials decided they were being
asked to contribute too much in pro-
portion to their holdings, and declin-
ed to do as Dawson county wished.
AS the Herald understands it the
Hanson county commissioners would
accept a division which would throw
40 per cent of the bridge expense
upon this county.

Chief Of Police NJ. L. Shade. since
his inception into Office a short time
ago. has adopted the scheme Of ar
resting all transients and suspicious
persons commonly known as ..vags"
seen lettering about the city and
sleeping In box cars and putting them
at work upon the streets. The sys-
tsm has been IN operation for about
week and seemed to be fairly sue
cessful. although to get work out Of
q hoboe is much like getting "blood
ont Of a turnip''.
There are about IA hoboes confln-
ed In the Jail at the present time who
have been divided into gangs and
working upon the streets. They have
shown no disposition to give trouble
but after working all forenoon and
eating their dinner decided this after
noon that they would curb their man
ual exertions. Consequently when
Nels Jensen, who has been in charge
OF the men upon the streets. went to
the jail this afternoon to get his in
voluntary employees. they Struck"
and fatty refused to work. Chief
Shade was notified and at the present
time the IA are cnined in the two
cells at the county Jail, with all the
water they can drink but no food to
cat. It Is up to them to eat or starve.
IN q purely figurative sense, and in
the meanwhile the outcome Of the
chiefs experiment Is watched with
considerable interest.

VERDICT
BY C0R0kER'S JURY
JURY FINDS THAT TRANSIENT
CAME TO DEATH BY PASS
ING TRAIN.-WAS PROB
ABLY DRUNK.

The coroner's jury, impanelled to
was killed by one of the night Mill
waukee passenger trains Thursday
evening, met at q o'clock in the
sheriff. Office at the court house Fri
day afternoon. The members of the
jury were F. S. Turney, John F.
Berry, and G. w. Fuller. They arriv-
ed at the verdict that the man, either
Maxman or Larimore by name, came
to his death by being struck by one
of the trains.
Testimony was given by DR.. w. R.
Ball, who told of being called early
Friday morning to the scene of the
accident near the Lyle factory and
finding the man lying on his side
about 6 feet from the north railroad
track, with a wound on his head
which was bleeding profusely. He
further related how with Ors. Bower
and Bobb he had operated upon the
unfortunate man at the hospital and
that the injury was too evere for re-
covery. He gave it as his opinion that
death could have resulted from the
conclusion or the fracture of the
sull. The man did not at any time
regain consciousness or require the
need of an anesthetic during the OPP
Grafton. He believed that the man
met his death by being struck upon
the head by a heavy machine.
Frank Burr, the man who was
walking up the track and made the
grewsome find. testified as to going
asleep on the ground near the factory
and being awakened by one of the
passenger trains going by. He then
started to walk north and saw the
two men close to the track. When he
stopped to light his cigarette he woke
the sleeping man and the two then
discovered the accident which had oc-
Cured. He went to the city and noti-
fled the police.
Walter Taylor, the companion of
the dead man, related regarding the
circumstances of the case; how the
two had been drinking down in Scot
land, how they had come up on the
night train and then walked out near
the site of the factory. He said that
ClIc ldSl IuluS he remembered was
that the two were sitting on the ends
of the ties talking.
There were several discrepancies
in Taylor's tstimony. He said at first
he had known the dead maj for two
months and later admitted he had
known him about a week. He was
not clear about the time the two had
arrived in Mitchell. but he had been
drinking and this was not very es-
sential. The fact that the dead man
had money in his pocket was fairly
good evidence that the affair was an
accident, and not a crime, as was
thought at first. 1t is also thought
that Taylor would have fed when
Burr was looking for the officers had
he been guilty of an attack upon his
comrade.
In the testimony the coats of the
two men were offered in evidence and
they showed that they had been left
on the rails and mutilated by a pass
ing train. The body of Maxman was
shipped last evening to the medical
school of the state university at YER
million, where it will be used for dis
section purposes. 1t was thought first
that the deceased had relatives in
Pennington, Missouri, but inquiry
did not develop their whereabouts.

Before the Passion PLAY.

AS the time for the first production
approaches. the religious spirit of the
people deepens. The productions are
given several times a week during
every tenth summer. They continue
from May to September, and are now
going on. At o'clock the nights
preceding the performances q band
Of musicians marches from one end
of the town to the other announcing
the next days performance, with the
intention of warning all those who ex-
pect to attend to prepare for il. At 5
the next morning the village cannon,
placed at the foot of a high peak
crowned with a large cross which
stands guard over the town nesting
at its foot, calls all to early mass,
both villagers and visitors, and they
are expected to respond.
At the musicians again march
through the town to warn those who
have no reserved seats that they had
better hasten to the theater AT s the
cannon sounds again, and the play
begins. Before the curtain is raised
the 500 who are to take part join the
pastor of the church In silent prayer
behind it. and with this preparation
the drama opens.-Harper's Bazaar.
