Iowa County Petitioners Appeal to
the Courts on their Petition


The petitioners from western Stan
ley county, who want the west end
cut off and created into Iowa coun-
ty, have appealed from the action
of the Stanley county commission
ers in turning down their petition.
Their attorneys appeared before
Judge Boucher last evening and
secured an order to show cause
why a peremptory writ of manda-
mus should not issue to compel the
commissioners to accept the peti-
ton, and place the question on the
ballot at the November election.
The order is returnable August I'd,
on which date the question will be
threshed out. The petitioners of
jackson and Sterling counties have
not yet made any move, and it is
not known whether they will or
not. .-Capital-J Journal.

THREE ARE. DROWNED
IN CHEYENNE RIVER
Vacation Party Meets With Sad lnterruption---One
Body is Still Unbound, but Searching Parties
Have Not Given up Their Task

Again the treachery of the Chey-
enne has claimed not one, but
three precious lives. The sad
news reached here Saturday of the
drowning of three women in the
river at four o'clock the previous
day, at Burton's crossing.
A party of four people composed
of Frank Wagner, Miss Eta AL
drich, Miss Blanche Atwood and
Miss Sadi, Trainer, who all have
claims near Marcus, Meade coun-
ty, left for two weeks vacation
in the Bad lands and other points.
They expected to pick up W. o.
Kingsbury at his home nine miles
south of Philip, who was to COM
pose the fifth one of the party,
but whom they never reached.
About ten miles the other side
of the river the driver, Mr.. Wag-
ner, inquired of two freight teams
As to the condition of the river and
they reported it Sine, that the
water only came to the hubs of
their wagons. When the party
reached the river it was apparent
ly in the same condition and with
out hesitation ventured to cross
without the least thought in the
world of their fate. On entering
the stream it was as it appeared,
low, but before the opposite side
was reached tremendous wave
came rushing down the river and
carried buggy, team and all down
stream, the buggy overturnlng.
The driver held to the team and
was landed several yards below the
ford. He went Immediately to the
rescue of the women and Miss Al
drich was recovered in very short
time but too late to save her life.
An attempt was made by Mr..
Wagner, before he called for
assistance to rescue the other two
members of the party but it was
without avail; the river was now
raging torrent and swiftly sweep
every thing before it. Heavy
rains in Pennington county that
morning caused a sudden rise in
the river and did not reach the
ford at Burton's crossing until the
unfortunate people were in mid

production of grain and live stock
remains as profitable as at present.
The cities have grown and will con-
tinue to grow by developing their
industries and improving their
command of the home market.
Railway service and rates are most
important to both these objects.
The cities of Iowa showing the
greatest growth the past decade
are those which have been the most
successful in securing new indus
tries or obtaining good local train
service. There is still room for
Improvement in both particulars.
There is no essential reason why
80 per cent of Iowa's live stock
should be shipped out of the state
to be slaughtered, nor why a larger
proportion of the manufactured
goods used in Iowa should not be
produced in this state. Some of
the industries established in Iowa
in recent years for the production
of supplies for the farm have found
an excellent market at home and
have been at no disadvantage in
the competition for other markets.

stream. The body of Miss Atwood
was not found until Saturday after
noon about twenty-four hours from
the time of the tragedy. The
body of Miss Aldrich was brought
to Philip Saturday morning and
that of Miss Atwood early Monday
morning and were placed in the
Aldrich undertaking rooms.
Miss Eta Aldrich has been re-
siding on homestead near her
father and two sisters, who also
have homesteads. She had but
recently made final proof and was
taking the well-earned vacation.
Funeral services were conducted
from the Methodist church Monday
afternoon, and her remains were
laid to rest in the Odd Fellows
cemetary.
Miss Blanche Atwood is the
only daughter of Mrs. Atwood, a
widow, and has been living on a
homestead with her mother near
Marcus. Her remains were
shipped Monday to Artesian, this
state, which was her former
home. She is also a niece of Mrs.
XII .rsbury, who resides nine miles
south of Philip, and a niece of
MIS- Trainer who lost her life
with the party.
Miss Trainer is a sister of Mrs.
Kingsbury and an aunt of Miss At
wood, one of the girls drowned.
She has also been on a homestead
near Marcus and close to the other
principals Of this tragedy. At the
time of going to press, as far as we
know, her body has not yet been
found, but every possible means is
being employed for the recovery
of her remains.
Frank Wagner, the driver, and
the only witness to the fate of the
women, escaped uninjured. He
did all he could to save the women
but was powerless against the
ravages of a mighty torrent.
The whole community has been
cast into a gloom and everything
possible was done to comfort the
bereaved relatives and friends.

Iowa's Population

Enough has leaked out to indi-
cate that the census this year will
show q further decline in Iowa's
rural population, although gains
in the cities may prove sufficient
to prevent q loss in the state as q
whole. All the tillable land has
been taken up, except q few thods-
and acres of river and bottom land
which remain to be drained and re-
claimed. There is therefore only
one method by which the states
rural population may be increased.
This is intensive farming, q thing

Stanley county is to be compared
with every other locality in the
northwest this year. Crops are
very good in some places, while
in others they do not amount to
anything. We have had really no
general rains during the season,

sible for the spotted conditions.

Philip Fight Fan is Arrested in Reno


The sun was sinking low over
the Nevada desert. The greatest
battle of the century had been
fought and won. The burly cham
pion of the white race had come
back, had stayed his fifteen terrific
rounds with almost superhuman
nerve and courage, and then had
gone staggering before the blows
of his black antagonist into the
ropes of the ring and down and
out.
Philip had a representative at
the big fight. All through the
fifteen rounds he sat, watching in
tently every move, storing away
moving pictures of his own to be
reproduced when the boys were
assembled about him on Center
avenue back home. 1t was great
day for the Philip Sport. AS the
tide of battle surged his walloping
blood rose and fell. For him the
hour was simply crystalized with
JOY. But now the fight was over
and the Philip representative was
surging with the twenty thousand
other fight fans toward the gate.
No one will likely ever know
just how it happened, or why.
All that we know is that the Philip
Sport stumbled and fell. Some
one in the densely packed crowd
may have showed him. The
benches of the arena may have
been natural stumbling block
for his weary feet, or the glare of
the desert sun may have blinded
him. Rumor has it that the Philip
man had not placed his coin on the
winning fighter and was faint and
sick on that account. Another un-
reliable rumor has it that his at
tention was momentarily attracted
by a gorgeously plumed hat far
across the arena, and that this
caused him to make a mis-step and
fall. Anyway, he stumbled and
fell. Our hero admits that.
In falling the Philip Sport did a
very natural thing. He did just
what a New York sport would do
under the circumstances for that
matter he did just what man that
was no sport at all would do. He
threw out his hands and clutched
wildly to save himself. Of course,
it was unfortunate, though very
natural, that he should seize an
other person by his coat pocket.
Then somebody shouted "pick-
pockets; and the heavy hand of
the law fell. Quicker than a pair
of coyotes can cut an innocent
lamb out of a bunch of sheep, two
detectives in plain clothes cut our
friend out of that crowd and had
him in the patrol wagon. Lang
uage has its limit atoms and we do
not propose to describe the miser-
les of that two mile drive to the
police station.

that in very few minutes the
Man from Philip, South Dakota,
found himself in the dock along

thugs gathered with much care

was called before the chief Of police

able to show strong circumstan-
tial case. The defendants explain
alton that he simply stumbled and
