The city council of Watertown has
decided to appeal to the railroad COM
missioners of the state in an effort to
force the construction of a new pas
senger station there. Action will be
brought against the Minneapolis and
st. Louis, the Chicago and Northwest

Dakota Central lines. The CITY par

New Catholic Churches

An important event in Catholic cir
cles in the southern part of the state
will be the dedication on Friday of a
fine and costly new Catholic church
building in what is known as the Starr
district of Hutchinson county. Although
situated at an interior point, and with
only farming community surrounding
~, the edifice is one of the most hand
some and costly in South Dakota, and
no other rural community in the state
can boast of possessing so fine house
of worship. Rt. Rev. Thomas O'Gor-
man, of Sioux Falls, Catholic bishop of
eastern South Dakota. will have charge
of the dedication exercises, and will be
assisted by numerous priests from the
southern part of the state. The edifice
will be constructed under the name of
the church of st. Peter and Paul. The
cost of erecting the new church build
ing and furnishing it was $35, 900. The
money necessary for erecting it was
raised by voluntary contributions:
Bishop O'Gorman will make trip
early in October to the town of Chelsea
in the northern mart of the state where
he will preside at the dedication of
fine new Catholic church building.

ChiId's Narrow Escape

Marvin Saxton, the 4-year-old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs I. z. Saxton, who line
near the new town of Colome, in the
ceded portion of Trip county, had ar
usual experience with monster rattle
snake. He touched the reptile with
his finger to see if it was alive and
lived to tell the story.
The little fellow was playing in the
garden near the house on the home
stead of his parents when he dis
covered the RATHER coiled near him.
The boy did not realize his danger and
deliberately walked up to the snake
and touched it with his finger, "to see
if it was alive" as he afterward
expressed it. The snake proved to be
very much alive.
An instant later the mother was
attracted to the scene by the screams
of her little son. A close examination
failed to reveal that the fangs of the
snake had struck the boy. 1t is
believed that upon touching the snake
the boy was so frightened when the
reptile struck at him that he pulled
his hand away with lightning like
rapidity, being quicker, in his great
alarm, than the snake, and that in this
way escaped being struck by the
deadly fangs of the reptile. 1t also is
thought that in his fright the little boy
jumped clear over the snake.

Live Stock Movement Active
The shipment of horses and cattle
from the stations around Miller con-
tinues with increased activity. In
most shipments there are calves and
young horses going with the rest.
This indicates great scarcity of both
cattle and horses in that section during
the next two or three years. The
high price of hay, and in some instances
the lack of water, are the causes for
selling off stock closer than formerly.
