CHILD SWALLOWS SPOOL
TO SAVE HIS LIFE

Pipestone. MINI, Jan. 90
Unless an operation is per-
formed on the little son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Hawkins
of Window, the child will EAR
ry a sewing thread spool In his
stomach the remainder of his
life. The little Hawkins boy
was playing with some spools
when he placed one of them in
MS mouth. ana II became lodged
In his throat. The child's moth
er, after unsuccessful efforts to
get the spool out, finally pushed
Ii down, thus saving the child
from choking to death. An
x-ray failed to locate the spool
in the stomach. and physicians
say IL will be necessary to oper-
ate on the child to recover the
spool. This will probably be
done within a short time.

from the well to keep the de-
sired temperature in the green
house, and to take the place of

he will not need fear an explo-

curity that he need not fear the
heat going either too high or
too low to spoil the valuable
eggs he has submitted to the
ministrations OF this natural
hot-water hen.

INCENDIARY fire
CHECKS INQUIRY
rripp Auditor Declares Burning
of Court House Is Result
of Investigation.

Gregory, S. D., Jan. 17.-As the un~
disputed result of the work of tncen-
dia ries the Tripp courty court house
ar Winner was burned to the ground
at an early hour Sunday morning. The
mortgage and title records were stored
in one of the bank vaults and escaped
destruction, but all other county rec
ords were destroyed.
The building was moved from near
Lamro but a few weeks ago.
When the new board of supervisors
took possession of Trip county affairs
on January /, an investigation was
commenced to determine the condition
Of affairs under the former regime. Some
important shortages n irregularities
had already been discovered with a
prospect Of more TO follow. The gen.
eral belief is that the destruction or
the court house is another phase OF
the desperate efforts being made to
cover up the criminal tracks.
County Auditor Halligan was at
Gregory today when he received word
Of the burning OF the III house and
the loss of his official records. He m
p~hatically declared the fire to be the
result of the investigation in progress.
Mr.. Halligan led a valiant fight against
the operations of the gang which con-
trolled Trip county affairs prior to
january l and was h only one Of
the former officials retained in Office.
The destroyed court house at Win
ner was the property of oliver Lam
oreaux and was being rented by the
county. AT q session OF the board last
week the new county commissioners
declined to pay the rental price which
the owner Of the building claims had
been promised to hin and a deal was
practically completed for another
building to be especially erected for
county use.

ASHLEY FRATERNAl INSURANCE
BILL so AM ENDED AS
TO PRACTICALLY
NUlLlFY 1T.

The Ashley fraternal insurance bill
recently passed in the House at Lam
sing was amended so that no society
need come under provisions of it unless
majority of the membership vote to
do so. A referendum to come i'm or
remain out must be taken within six
months, after the law goes into effect
Rep. Ashley, whose name the bill
carries, told the House that the amend
ment practically nullifes the bill. lik-
ing it to a bill that might be passed to
regulate railroads, but applying only to
the railroads whose officers and stock
holders voted to permit themselves to
be regulated. The sum of the two and
a half hours discussion was that the
friends of the bill want legislation that
will result in fraternal insurance socie-
ties getting to a basis where their
rates will be scientifically fixed so as
10 give them stability. which will be a
valuable asset. They believe that only
through legislation can the existence
Of fraternal benefit society be as
sured permanently. Also that just
such legislation is needed to keep
down a class of societies that have
mushroom growth. collect money
by Offering rates lower than any rep
utable company can afford to offer
and then go out of business.
The opposition TO the bill was based
on the allegations that il would lead
TO monopoly by the older and larger
societies and that it would open the
way for arbitrarily raising rates. This
latter allegation the supporters of the
Dill strenuously deny. Members had
been getting kilograms by the handful
curing the past few days from consti-
tuents to vote either for or against the
Dill. The impression formed from the
telegrams in opposition was that many
OF the older members of the big So
cieties seem to be apprehensive that
somehow the bill would hit them
harder than younger members in the
matter of rates.
