Man Dragged by Team

Saturday afternoon Mr. Kruger,
of Fairview twp, brought Joseph
Eschbach to town in his auto. He
was considerably bruised up about
the face. and had one leg broken.
Mr. Kruger found him lying on the
road a few miles north of town.
At first the unfortunate man
could give no account of the mishap.
but afterwards it was learned that
he was driving a team and wagon
along the road and met some friends.
They stopped to talk. and he got out
on the ground, holding the lines in
his hand. When he put his foot on
the hub to get back into his wagon
the team started. He was thrown to
the ground. but held on to the lines,
and was dragged some distance.
The wagon must have u over him,
but he is not sure about IT. His
injuries were attended to by DR..
McWhorter.

ROOSEVELT WINS
OVER OLD GUARD
New York Republicans Have
Lively Contest

Saratoga, Sept. 27-Theodore
Roosevelt rode today on the top
wave of victory, defeating Vice
president Sherman for temporary
chairman of the republican state con-
vention and bowling over the odd
guard in the first engagement of a
series of conflicts to come.
Col. Roosevelt was in his element.
After he had named the members of
the three important committees and
the convention had adjourned 10
meet tomorrow, Colonel Roosevelt
turned to the newspaper men and
remarked: you may recall that
said frazzled. You may quote me
on that" At Troy yesterday the
former president said he would beat
his opponents to a frazzle. There
were 1913 votes cast in the conven-
ton today, of which Roosevelt re-
ceceived SGT and Vice-President
Sherman received 443.
In his speech as temporary chair
man Col. Roosevelt spoke feelingly
Of what President Taft had accom-
plished in his administration, saying
that the laws passed reflect high
credit upon all who succeeded in
putting them IN their present shape.
Henry l.. Stimson was nominated
for governor. and the Taft admins
tration endorsed.

Plenty of Feed

A supposed shortage of hay, coup
led with good prices. has resulted ir
a large shipment of stock from this
section of the state. Some farmers
nov think this supposed or expected
condition does not exist in Hand
county. They claim that there is
plenty of hay being put up. except
possibly close to town. where the
fields have been cut close every
year. In addition to this more corn
has been cut up this year than ever
before.
With hav, corn fodder. plenty of
good straw, and corn. speltz and
oats in the granaries. it is safe to
say that Hand will be we'll supplied
with feed for all the stock she has
to winter.
In the opinion Of good farmers,
men who have sold off cows and
heiferS will regret it next year, be-
cause there is ALREADY an apparent
shortage of she stuff"

Fleet OF

Washington, Sept. g.. John Barry
Ryan spent to-day in the war and
navy departments and succeeded in
getting the officials into a state of
enthusiasm over the proposition to
provide the army and navy with a
fleet of airships.
Ryan did not ask a dollar of gov
erKment money in return for the
creation of a reserve of about a
thousand aeroplares. What he
wants is the moral support of the
two departments in the creation Of
an "aeronautical reserve" +. and
this was promised him by General
Allen of the army and Captain
Fletcher of the navy.

This Boy Scout movement, started
in England a comparatively short
time ago by Gen. Baden Powell, Of
the British Army, and fostered by
the army and navy of Great Britain,
has become a world movement with
wonderful possibilities, The pro-

county have taken up the work of
organization, and in all the principal
cities of the country the Boy Scout

RAILROAD
HURON TO RIVER
Wisconsin and South Dakota
Parties Projecting Railroad
Chamberlain to Huron

Mitchell Republican, move
ment is being quietly carried on for
the projection Of a railroad line
from Chamberlain to Huron. Little
has been heard of the proposition
although surveyors are in the field
at the present time working north
east to Huron from the Missouri
river town
The project is being promoted by
A. E. Parsons. of Darlington. Wis.
who is associated with one of the
strongest banks in the city. E. E.
Dye vice president of the Bank of
Chamberlain. A. G. Hill, Thomas
Cox, j. @. Anderson and several
bankers of Gam Valley are lined mp
with the project.
The contract was awarded to Mis-
souri, River Valley Engineering Co.,
Of this city to survey the line from
Chamberlain to Huron, and at the
present time the company has a
force of eleven men in the field, car
rying a complete outfit for an ex-
tended campaign in the work. The
men expect to be in the field for
three months at least in completing
the survey. the distance between
the points being about 100 miles.
The line runs northeast through
Vega, the northeast part of Jerauld
county. southeast of Hand county
and through Beadle to Huron.
Mr. Parsons, who is the main pro-
moter, and who is strongly backed
by the other men in the project.

DARING FLIGHT
OVER H ALPS
A Peruvian Aviator Injured After
Crossing

Domodossoia, Italy. Sept. 24.-To
George Chavez. the Peruvian await
or, belongs the honor of being the
first to fly across the Alps.
The daring feat was accomplished
in an attempt to win the prize of
500 600 offered by the Italian Avia-
ton society of Milan for a flight
from Brig. Switzerland, to Milan.
Chavez. however, was unable TO
complete the trip, having suffered
painful injuries when he alighted
here. The machine was overturned
and he was buried in the wreckage.
1t is not believed, however, that his
injuries are serious.
As the airman was seen slowly de-
scending a great crowd gathered.
Slowly and gracefully he neared the
surface and was only about thirty
feet above the ground when a gust
of wind caught and overturned the
monoplane. He had tainted on
striking the ground and was bleed
ing profusely when released from
the w~reckage. The machine was
ruined.
Attains Height of 1000 Feet
On beginning his flight Chavez
rose to a height estimated at near
ly 1000 feet. 1t was known that it
would be necessary for HIM to attain
to nearly this altitude to clear the
Simplon pass, the summit Of which
rises $500 feet.
He maintained apparently this al
titude for at least a half hour and
followed over the road built by Ma
poleon IN 1900 over the Simplon
pass. He accomplished the eight
miles that brought him over the TOP
of Simplon and then sailed graceful,
ly v e the eighteen miles to Domo-
dossola.
Arriving at Domodossola he had
left the hardest part Of his journey
behind him, having escaped the high
peaks and the tumble of rocky gorg,
es on this side of the summit.
The remaining distance to tins
city offers less difficulty. but takes
the aviator over Lake Maggiore and
a succession of plains to the goal.

STATE REPUBS.
CLAIM $4,000 MAJ.
Mr. Wood Called Down On Tax
Amendment

Pierre, Sept 2l.-Governor Wesley
is out in the western part of the
state attending local fairs this week,
and lncidently looking into the polit-
ical situation in that part of the
state. He will not paw any attention
to the challenge of Chauncey l..
Wood, the democratic nominee for
governor for a joint debate on the
subjects which Mr. Wood has select
ed, or likely on any other PROPOSE
lions as there Is nothing to be gain
ed by such a course There appears
to be a great deal of misapprehen-
sion over the state in regard to the
tax amendment which Wood has
made n of the points of his chal-
lenge.
Wood charges, that the amend
ment seeks to take off the limitation
Of tax levies by the state board.
This is not the case. as the amend
ment was framed especially to save
that very clause of the constitution
as it has stood since the beginning
of statehood. An amendment was
submitted two years ago, which
did attempt to take of the limitation
Of tax levy. but it was rejected by
the people.
The present one leaves the consti-
tuition without change. but is intend
ed TO cover a weak provision which
prevents adequate taxation of ex-
press companies, and which if adopt
ed would allow the state hoard to
take the necessary steps to secure
adequate returns from such
companies in the wav of taxes,
which under the constitution as it
now STANDS would be impossible.
Claims are being made that the
republican state ticket will be elect
ed by $4,000 or more majority at the
coming election. While the Lroba-
bilities are all in favor of every re-
publican nominee coming in safe
with good maiorities none of them
are are at all likely to get that far
along in the list. In fact while all
may be considered as safe, with the
record of states which have s, far
voted, the republican management
is not in a position to sit back and
look wise with a belief that every
thing is coming their way.
With over a hundred thousand
votes cast two years ago, the major
tiles were under %, 00C, and with a
vote which will probably not go over
80, 900 all told this year, the man
who has 20, 000 majority will be do
ing pretty well, and some of them
are likely to show up with less rather
than more than this number, The
returns Of all elections Of the state
up to the present shows a heavy
falling off of the vote from presi-
dental wears. and it is certain to
come again this yea
