Rapid City.-To pluck a girl from
the back of a runaway horse and
thus save her life, and both escape
injury, was the feat performed by a
young man named "Tom" Cassidy,
who resides here. Miss Lorine Rob-
ms, a we'll known Rapid City young
lady, was riding on horseback when
the animal became frightened and
ran away. Cassidy saw the danger
the young woman was in, and, jumping
from the horse which he himself was
riding, he, as the runaway horse an-
preached, grabbed it by the neck and
hung on until it was possible to re-
lease the young woman from her per-
ilous position This he did by taking
her from the back of the horse while
it was still running, after which he
let go of the animals neck and it
fled onward. Those who witnessed
the thrilling rescue declare it sur
passed anything in the rescue line
that had ever come to their knowledge.

PLUM PUDDING is COMPLEX
American Investigator Describes Fa-
nous Dessert as Mixture of Fruit,
Fluids and Spices.

London-"A smoking, aromatic,
complex compound of fruits and fluids,
nuts and Spices" is the definition of
plum pudding given by an American
commercial agent in a report to head
quarters.
English plum pudding, says j. M.
Carson, the United States government
agent in question, remains, unlike the
roast beef of old England. distinct

become Of sufficient Importance in the
foreign trade of the kingdom as to
be specifically named in official re-
ports.

THE manufacture of plum pudding
which, by the way, contains no
plums--is an infant industry of much
promise. It is mainly confined to
London, and Is carried on by all the
principal bakeries, delicatessen and
other establishments.
"Tbe industry was given a great
boom by the Boer war. Thousands
Of pounds of plum pudding were sent
out, but the demand was far in excess

LOCATES RICH NINE
Cowboy Trailing Deer stumbIes
on to Wealth.
Lone.iost Lead-silver Property,
Founded by Mission Fathers, 10
Discovered Again In Heart Of
San Andreas Mountains.

I Bishop, Cal.-Prospectors through
out the southern camps of Arizona,
New Mexico and Old Mexico tell of
the Lost Padre mine, from which the
mission fathers of Spain, more than
200 years ago, mined quantities Of rich
silver ore with which they enriched
the Golfers of their church, sending
shipment after shipment Of silver by
way Of Vera Cruz back to their native
country. Legend had this mine locat-
ed in various places, in New Mexico,
In Arizona and in Old Mexico; but the
best authenticated stories fixed the To-
cation of this long-lost mine some
where IN the southeastern part of
New Mexico, and 1t was there where
cowboy, on a long chase after
wounded buck, discovered the ancient
workings II years ago.
In the very heart of the San An
dreas mountains this cowboy came
upon abandoned workings, which upon
inspection proved the very extensive
ruins of mine. There were several
shafts, some long tunnels, the rem
nants of cross-cuts, surface trenches,
and at a point of vantage the remains
of fort. The cowboy understood the
fort proposition easily enough. Even
In his days mountains were not al
ways the safest place for a white man,
warlike and hostile Apaches still
claiming this part of the country for
their own.
The records of the Lost Padre mine
are yet to be found in the churches of
the mission padres in Mexico. How
long this mine was worked by the
padres is not known, but the records
speak of the hostile Indians, and how
they succeeded, after many attempts.
TO drive the fathers back from those
mountains, until time wiped out all
trails; those padres who knew the To-
cation of the mine died. and only the
legend remained of a once rich prop
erty.
The American cowboy relocated the
old workings every year, hoping te
sell the property, hope which he
never realized. On his deathbed he
conflded the map showing the location
of the mine to his family, from whom
the records were secured last year by
Arthur Kunze, the original locator OF
the once famous Greenwater district
who journeyed Into the isolated Sar
lAndreas range last January and relo
Gated the property. In letter to the
editor of local paper here he corrob
'orates all the details Of the old mine
as told frequently by the cowboy, and
believing that without doubt the Los
Padre has been found, he has giveI
that name to the workings.
Kunze has organized company, 6

remote ruins, and active operations
will begin on the property.

NORMAL MIND WITH BIG FEET
That 10 Condition Found In France,
While Exact Opposite Is True az
Applied to Women.

Paris,-That the majority OF nor
NAL minded men have big feet and
most normal minded women small feet
is the latest scientific discovery an
nounced to the world by the Paris
Academy of Sciences. 1t emanates
from Prof MacAuliffe and Marie, who
for several months have been meas
uring the feet of French people in all
walks of life.
They found that only eighteen out
CT every hundred soldiers were small
footed and only twenty-four Of every
hundred weak minded men big footed
On the other hand, they found that
only twenty-three of every hundred
normal women were large footed,
while only eighteen of hundred weak
wltted women were small footed.
This is considered to confirm the
ancient theory that woman is mans
equal, for the reason that she is his
exact opposite.

LEAVING 1T TO THE GUIDE
Bishop Didn't Have Language Equal to
the Occasion When the Trout
Escaped.

The bishop was an angler and was
keen on trout fishing. Early in the
season, If not the opening day, he re-
sponded to the lure of the ripping
brook. AS he crept softly through the
elder thicket that bordered the
stream he had the good fortune to
hook trout that put up stormy
fight. Evidently the fish had no mind
to grace the creel of even an apostolic
expert.
The guide held his breath. 1t was
not possible for him to get near
enough through the brush to help the
bishop and the enemy. He could only
watch the fight and hope for the best.
The struggle eliminated in swift
jerk that landed the dripping old war
rior up in the branches of q maple
which lowered above the alders-not
an unusual experience for an angler,
but the first Of the kind that had fall

was always seeking experience and
now he had 1t. This, however, was
different from casting and the result
was dire. The line snapped, the bril-
liant and dashing Fontinalis dropped
back into the brook and with an in
solent wave of his tail said as plainly
as words, "By, by, old boy"
The bishop and guide looked at each
other Then the bishop said to the

tone with which he was wont to stir
the emotions Of his congregation,
