EXTENSION NORTH.
RAPID CITY rs JUBlLANT OVER
PROSPECTS FOR LINE TO
NORTH FROM THERE
GRADERS CAMP AT RAPID
Several Carloads of Grading Equip
ment r Now at Rapid City
and Graders and Track
layers Arriving

Rapid City-Rapid City is the base
OF operation for the construction of a
road between this point to one of the
towns on the present transcontinental
line of the Milwaukee railroad which
passes through North Dakota and
Montana, on it's way to the coast.
Sioux City officials of the Milwau-
kee believe the new extension will go
almost directly north from Rapid City
connecting with the main line at Mar
marth, N. d., or perhaps at one OF
the stations a few miles east of that
point.
If the road should take this direc-
ton 1t would include the following
South Dakota towns: Lead, Deadwood,
Piedmont and Belle Fourche. These
are among the best towns in the state
By making the road go through
these main stations it would be con-
venient to have branches running to
Spearfish and Englewood. There is
much undeveloped land in this sec
ton of the state that would, if Gull
tivated, feed the railroad with a large
amount of traffic. The road would be
a great aid in the Improvement OF
the land in that section of the state,
and it is thought that the officials
who have ordered the extension pan
on making the line shoot straight
north from Rapid City in order to
make the towns in the fertile region
tributary to the road.
The present route Of the Milwaukee
through Aberdeen, S. D., is ~congested
with business and it has been found
necessary to relieve this condition by
another route. According to gossip
among railroad men, this second line
would be made the main n for
transcontinental business. There
would still be a large amount of traf-
fc for the older route, but the new
fields that would be tapped by the ex-
tension Of the Rapid City line would
make plenty of business for both ways
by giving the newer road the trade
of the rich country that would be
opened. The second route would place
the Black Hills on a transcontinental
line and would be a great commercial
advantage for this section.
Rumors that the extension might go
from haplQ Clly W mllcS Wv hioiN'
or a point near there, are aficat, but
it is believed that this line will not
be built to that station, but will take
the more northerly course to Mar
marth instead.
Four carloads of grading tools for
Mcintosh Bros. & Wickham, contract
ors, of Minnesota, arrived in Rapid
City early this week. Other cars are
now on the way to that city and a
grading camp will be established there
next week. The camp will be main
tanned there all winter and the work
of building the extension pushed to
completion Reports from that city
say that several hundred men are ex-
pected to arrive there within the next
few days to begin work in the con-
struction gang.

souri, Valley & Northern Railway COM
pany from Chamberlain their OBJ rect

been engaged on the survey since Sc J.
TENDER 10 and have succeeded in get
ting a l per cent grade, which is bet
ter than most roads in the state. M.
Fullweiler, the chief engineer, has had
ten years experience as a rail DAD
surveyor and is also a practical rail-
road man, having had charge Of the
construction work on some important
propositions.
The proposed line runs through one
of the richest and best improved sec
tions of the state and one which has
been long in hopes of a road. timing
of waiting for one of the old lines to
build, capitalists at Chamfer'a ain,
Gam Valley and other points took up
the proposition and organized an in
dependent company of which A. f.
Parsons of Darlington, Wis, is presi-
dent and E. e. Dye of Chamberlain

Dope For Yeggmen Worked

Acknowledgment were defeated in
their plans to rob the State Bank at
Corona, nine miles north of Mi bank.
at l o'clock Wednesday morning by a
dose of formaldehyde. Cashier George
Clark of the bank some years ago fig
ured that if some fluid could be used
against yeggmen, a great battle to-
ward the safe keeping of money would
be won. Accordingly he purchased
two bottles of formaldehyde, placing
a quart bottle between the doors of the
vault and another in the small box
safe. Those he called his "Yegg doc
tors" The yeggmen blew the door in
the vault with a second charge but
the bottle of formaldehyde was smash
ed all to pieces and ITS fumes repuls-
ed them from taking the little safe
which contained about a thousand dol
lars. The yeggmen broke into the
depot and three business houses, and
made their escape to Milbank on a
handcar. The windows and fixtures OF
the bank are badly wrecked.

Over a Thousand Attend Association
Meeting at Huron

Huron-The twenty-eighth annual
gathering of the South Dakota Edu-
cational association opened its an
nual meeting in this city Wednes-
Gay. Never before in the history
OF the organization has there been
such a large attendance, nor such a
deep interest taken by those who are
present.
The afternoon of the session was
given over to regular business. After
an interesting contest, Pierre was
voted the hext meeting place by a
large majority. The following officers
were elected for the coming year:
G. Z. Swanon of Pierre, president;
Miss McGrath of the Spearfish Nor
NAL school, secretary; Joseph Swan
son of Parker, treasurer. The new
president is well fitted for the posi-
ton, he being the deputy state super
lntendent Of public instruction. There
are several minor Offices which are
still unified, but will be appointed by
the new president as soon as he can
get around to making his selections.
More than a thousand teachers and
educators from all parts of the state
We're present at the opening session.
The address of President Mcdonald
was heard with marked attention. 1t
was forceful n gave in detail the
progress made and achievements won
along educational lines in South Da-
kota by this organization.
A feature Of more than passing in
terest is the report of the legislative
committee, which was distributed to
attendants in the form Of a 2S-page
pamphlet. 1t gives in detail the
changes suggested in laws governing
educational interests in South Dako-
ia.
A. FL. Bigelow, president Of the As
ISOLATION of School Officers. explained
the proposed code, many OF the pro-
visions bringing out lively discussion.
A number of the changes proposed
were taken from the New York school
codes. Whether they will be adopt
ed by the association is a, matter OF
conjecture.

A COMPLAINT.

We're for women, first, last and all
the time. We like her beautiful or
plain, clever or just ordinary; witty
or not: shapely Of pudgy, but con
found 1t we do wish that each and ev-
cry one of them would get over the
notion that a man has no right to
turn the pages of a newspaper just
because he's wedged against her In
q street car. We've been frozen by a
look, stabbed by a sheer and wounded
to the quick by a sigh just because
we've tried to read the story contin-
ned on page seven, column five, and

we still think that we had a perfect
right to do so.-Detroit Free Press.

ACQUITTED or ARSON
Jury in CastleWood Arson Case Finds
Defendant Not Guilty

Jury in Castlewood Arson Case Finds
Defendant Not Guilty
Castlewood-"We, the jury, find the
defendant not guilty"
The returning of this verdict by 9
jury at a term of the state circuit
court being held in this (Hamlin)
county was the concluding act in q
sensational case, which because of the
prominence and high standing of the
defendant has attracted a great deal
of attention in Hamlin and surround.
ing counties.
The defendant who now has been
cleared. by the verdict of the jury was
Ira w. Overton, who was charged WIN
the crime of arson. The elevator at
Dempster owned by the Grain and
Merchants company, burned to the
ground early on the morning of June
n, last. Ira w. Overton had been
the grain manager during the past
six years, preceding the destruction
of the elevator. The annual sett e.
ment was made on June IL, with the
board of directors and everything was
LOuhu w NC OH IA6ht. AL ihNSoNiS"E
ton Of the business was to have start
ed on the morning of the fire by an
expert accountant.
Overton was suspected of havins
burned the elevator and his arrest fol-
lowed. At the trial the evidence OF
the state was all purely circumstantial
and failed to connect the defendant
with the crime. the state being unable
to prove any motive on the pa t OF
Overton, why he should wish the ee-
vator destroyed. No shortage of the
grain or money could be proven; &C
cording to the evidence the records
were kept in proper condition.
The evidence given by The chief
witness for the state was i~mpeached
and it was conclusively proven that
at the time the fire occurred, the de-
fendant was at home and in bed.
