TWO. men DROWN
WHILE FISHING
IN JAMES RIVER.
Dr.. L%oughead and
James Clark Went
to Death Friday
COULD NOT HELP
Two Men on the River Bank
Were Powerless to Help
and Saw Men Drown

Letcher, S. DIR. j. S. Loughead
and James Clark were drowned in the
James river a short distance from
here Friday afternoon. During the
afternoon Dr.. Loughead, Mr.. Clark,
II. c. Hopkins and S. T. Bergeson
went to the river on a fishing ex-
c%ursion, going out in their auto. 1t
was first reported that the men
were precipitated into the river
when a portion of a high bank ov-
%erhanging the river caved in and let
the auto load of men down. This
statement proved incorrect.
After the men had been fishing a
short time, Mr.. Clark, who vas in the
water was seen to fall and he imme-
diately sank out of sight, failing to
come to the surface again. DR..
I.ougllead saw the danger of Mr..
Clark Immediately went to his as
%sistance, thinking it would be an
easy matter to get him out. DR..
Loughead was unsuccessful and he
disappeared at the same point in the
water as did Clark.
Hopkins and Bergeson stood help
less on the bank, as neither was able
to swim and could not render the
least assistance to the drowning
men. They hurried off to a neigh
boris where they got help and with
the aid of a boat, which was taken to
the scene of the drowning, they fish
ed around for the bodies of the two
men.
1t took perhaps a half hour to find
them and they we're removed from
the water. An investigation OF the
surroundings showed that while
Clark was standing in shallow water
he stepped off into a hole some ten
or twelve feed deep, and from the
position of his body when taken out,
it was evident that he had been TAX
en- with a cramp, and was therefore
unable.t to help himself out Of his
danger. DR.. Loughead fell into the
same trap unknowingly and while he
came to the surface once it was evil
dent he could not save himself and he
sank out of sight.
The bodies of the two men were
brought to town about 6 o'clock and
the greatest excitement prevailed
over the tragedy, and sorrowing
friends accompanied the bodies to
their respective homes to comfort
the members of the family.
DIR. Loughead was SO years old
and was married, leaving a wife and
one child. He has lived here about
six years, and. had a very good prac-
tice in the town and the surround
ing country. Mr.. Clark vas about
thirty years of G and leaves a wife
and several children.

Roots Clause, Objected to

Washington, d. C.-The Senate

Washington, d. C.-The Senate
finance committee today agreed to re-
port the reciprocity bill, including
the Smoot amendment No recon-
mendations will be made to the
Senate, either upon the bill or the
amendment to it. The Root amend
ment, which is strongly opposed by
President Taft, provides that the
pulp wood, and print paper clause
shall become effective when all the
provinces of Canada shall agree to
the free expectation of these pro-
ducts. The friends of reciprocity
say that the Root clause would block
the operation Of the pulp and paper
section of the treaty, for the reason
that the province of Quebec would
not agree to this amendment. The
crown lands compose a large part of
the pulp timber in Canada and these
are entirely under the control of the
provinces, which have preserved
them by levying an export tax upon
all pulp wood or wood pulp shipped
out from these forests.

SEAT FIGHT
IS SENT To COURT
MEILEIyTE COUNTY CLAIM
WHITE RIVER WON ELEC.
TON UNFAIRLY.

Chamberlain, S. D.-The recent
hot county seat fight in the new
county of Mellette has reached the
courts for adjustment, the partisans
of the new town of Ogalalla being
dissatisfied with the result of the
election, which on the face of the re-
turns indicated a victory for the
town of White River by a plurality
of twenty-four votes over Ogalalla
and Wood. In instituting the con-
test the partisans of Ogalalla charge
that Sioux Indians from Todd county
were colonized in Mellette county by
the workers for White River and
permitted to vote, while the votes of
a number of legal voters who favored
Ogalalla for county seat We're re-
jected by the election supervisors.
1t is charged that in Mellette there
are only 500 legal voters, that on
election day there we're about thirty
voters who were accounted for as not
voting or being out of the county,
and that the highest legal vote that
could possibly have been cast should
not have been over 375. And yet the
returns show that a total of 455
votes were cast on the county seat.
Those who have instituted the con-
test will require White River to
show where the eighty votes in dis
pute came from. 1t is further charg-
ed by the people of Ogalalla that at
least forty votes which would have
been cast for their town were re-
jected because the voters could not
write the name Ogalalla and wanted
to use a rubber stamp to record their
votes for that town. White River
will resist the contest to the limit
and will make a strenuous fight to
retain the temporary county seat.

BUILD ROAD
JIM TO

Highmore, S. advocates of
the god roads movement in Central
South Dakota between the Missouri
and Jim rivers are planning for a
monstrous River to River Road con-
vention at Highmore, July ~.
Highmore is exactly between Pier
re, on the Missouri river, and Huron.
on the Jim, and the Commercial club
of Highmore has, in the past two
years, moved the rocks and secured
grades on a large part of the roads
running into Highmore.
The road. will be run through VOL
sey, Washington, Vayland, st. Law
renee, Miller, Highmore, Holabird
and Blunt. This road is the finest
natural highway in the state, there
being practically no grades, and it
is presume dthat the boards of coun-
ty commissioners of Hughes, Hyde,
Hand and Beadle counties will lend
their efforts in the securing of this
model highway connecting the cities
Of Huron and Pierre. The road runs
nearly straight east and west from
Huron to Blunt, and can, without any
great difficulty, be placed in good
condition.
Large delegations Of automobile
owners. farmers and representatives
of the Commercial clubs Of the re-
spective cities are coming, and II.
will be a gala day at Highmore. Re-
duced rates will probably be secured
on the railroads. Invitations have

100000 WILL Be
ADDED TO VALUATION
PRACTICALLY ALL OF INCREASE
IN ASSESSMENT WILL BE
DUE TO CHANGE IN
LAND TITLES.

Pierre, S. D.-The zeal estate as
ed approximately $7,000,000 owe
that of last year, through the placing
of lands under taxation which will
be assessed the first time through
title passing either by final proof of
government lands; the sale of In
dian heirship lands; CT sales of state
lands. OF course the largest amount
of this comes to the western part of
the state by final proofs, where the
total runs into millions, on a basis
of the amount of land proved up, at
the assessment figures fixed for the
counties in which the land is located.
The greatest increase will be shown
in the counties OF Stanley, Perkins,
and Trip, each Of which will show
an increase of a million or more dol
lars in their valuation figures on
real estate. From these figures the
list runs down to some of the older
Va AZ "hS1S AS ~
crease from new lands coming UNI
der taxation by final proof, is very
small, but in some of these there
will be a material increase in the
sales of state lands. AS the spring
meeting of county auditors decided
on very little changes in any class of
property from the figures of a year
ago, there will be no great increase
other than that on lands. The total
assessed valuation for last year on
all classes of properly was almost
s33S.0O0.000 and while it is pos
sible that the total may go. as high
as $350,O0O,000 this year. 1t is hard
ly likely that the increase will show
that much, under the figures as left
by the auditors at their meeting.

A BRITISH HOODOO.

An Englishman with a sense of
humor has reached Gotham, says
the New York Sun, and he is re-
garded as such rare one that
they want to KEEP him as long as
they can. When he registered the
clerk assigned him to Room 1912.
"Oh, l ay, is there any method
in your handing me that numberi''
he demanded That's not popular
with Britishers, you know"
He smiled, and it dawned upon
the clerk that there was a war
called by that date. Later on the
manager, passing by the open door
of 1872 found the walls of the
room fairly swathed with British
flags.
Must do something to ward off
what you call the hoodoo," was
the visitors comment.
