BUT MAY RECOVER

Lead, S. D., April 6.-His back
broken by the fall OF a 400
pound rock in the Homestake
mine, George Lane, a block
holer, is lying in the hospital

covery. Lane was clearing a
space for some timber on the
900 foot level Of the mine, just
after a round of shots had been
fired and was bending over
when the slide of rock occurred
from above. His posture saved
his life, as his back did not re-
ceive the full force Of the rock,
which would have crushed him
instantly, had he been standing.
Lane came here recently from
Michigan and the physicians are
hopeful that he may not only
recover, but may be able to do
light work in the future.

probably in the whole continent, about
the middle of the glacial epoch. He
points out that all the apparently auth

ed States east of the great plains fall
into two sets OF localities, one ranging
along the Atlantic and gulf coasts, and
the other extending from New Jersey
TO South Dakota, the localities in the
last set lying, with few exceptions,
close TO the southern border OF the
drift covered area. The earliest dis
covery of fossil horse remains was

days to two week ahead Of the usual
time. Last year the majority of the
farmers started about April 9. The
soil is In the very best of condition.
The farmers of C~odington county and
vicinity will sow more wheat than
usual. the high price serving as a
stimulant. The acreage of durum wheat
will be less, many farmers substituting
1t with blue stem, fife and velvet chaff.
The acreage OF oats will be about the

poor crop of barley last year, Il is
not expected that so much OF this grain
will be sown this year. The corn acre
age will be a little larger than usual
