HAD A NARROW ESCAPE
AUTO AND WATER TANK
IN HEAD COLLISION
BARNEY OLDFIELD BEATEN
Ed. Block and John Sherbino
Pull Off a Stunt at Waubay
With the Aid of an Auto
Owing to Bad Crossing

Ed. Block and John Sherbino, of this
city, gave the residents of Waubay ar
exhibition Tuesday evening that was
not as per schedule, and they luckily
escaped injury, though Eds auto is
laid up for repairs.
The section men had raised the track
in the yards at Waubay during the day
and had neglected to fill in the cross
ing or place light, as warning to
travellers, and when Eds auto struck
the track there was something doing,
and that too, on short notice.
The machine jumped from the track
and struck the water tank. tearing out
large post and then crossed another
track and ran foul of a switch
standard, where it stopped. The
machine is badly damaged and was left
at Waubay for repairs. The occupants
escaped without injury miracously.

THE HUNTING SEASON
MANY HERE FROM ALL
OVER THE COUNTRY
NEARLY ALL TRUE SPORTS
Some of the People and Some
of the Papers Would Not
AIlcw Non-Residents to
Shoot. We Disagree

Since the tenth of September the
hunting season has been on in this
state. The closed season of two years
on prairie chickens has not seemed to
increase the numbers at all. The
birds are quite plentiful-same as
usual-but for some reason have
flocked very early this year and are as
wild as hen hawks. Several report
getting the limit-ten-but after few
days some member of the party dis
closes the fact that they could not get
chance to shoot at all and they
brought in 'two."
The duck shooting has been splendid
that is if person likes to shoot over
decoys or on the passes. The dry sea-
son, of course, has put many of the
small sloughs out of commission and
there is very little hunting of that kind
known to the hunters as "wet-foot-
ing" There in no question but there
will be about the best duck shooting
when the northern flight" comes
down that we had in years. There is
not so many lakes and swamps for
them to make their "visit i'm and
person will not have to do near so
much hunting to find where their
fight is.
Some people and some papers are
questioning the issuing of licenses to
persons outside of the state "to come
in and kill off all the gene we have
raised" That is rather far fetched.
We had nothing to do with the raising
of the game. If the old hen is suffi-
GENTLY fortunate to make her nest
where she can escape the many farm
implements of the farmer used during
the season, and then the guns of the
farmer and the farmers sons from the
time they get large enough to fly, by
the time it is lawful for the eastern
sport to shoot the chickens-like this
year-have grown so wild they have
fiocked and an average days hunt by
the best native hunter is about two
birds.
Then on the ducks. They are Matched
all the way from the north pole to the
gulf line. They are shot at from the
time they leave their nesting place
until they reach the gulf in the south
where they spend the winter and are
then slaughtered merely for their
feathers. The birds-chickens and
ducks-belong to no one. They are
both migratory and are here today and
gone tomorrow just as much the
property of a man from Minnesota,
Iowa or Wisconsin as one from South
Dakota.
Another thing. We have met many
and many of these hunting parties
from the east. The gentlemen-an and
with rare exceptions they are all gen.

airs or Over

The people of Webster were very
much astonished Monday morning to
learn that A. L. Bloomquist, the
the jeweler, had left town and had
taken with him practically all the
watches, diamonds the best rings, and
solid silver ware in the store. He was
purported to have gone to Lanken, N.
D., where he owns an interest in a
drug store but inquiry then failed to
find him. H. F. Hart, who holds a
mortgage on the stock, made trip to
North Dakota but could not find any
trace of him.
A criminal warrant has been issued
for his arrest for taking mortgaged
property out of the country and a
reward of 500 offered for his arrest
and as soon as apprehended he will be
brought back to this city and given
an opportunity to explain. We can
get nothing very tangible at this time
on which to base story to give our
readers but will try and give the full
particulars next week.

Open Switch At Waubay

On Tuesday evening of this week
the Olympian train narrowly escaped
being wrecked at Waubay, the first
station east of Webster. At this
small station siXty-one miles east of
Aberdeen, the train never stops, but
passes through at 6:15 at considerable
speed. On Tuesday night the engineer
on approaching this station observed
that the switch light which stands at
the east end of the yard at Waubay
was not burning as it should have been.
He suspected that something was
wrong and sent his firemen to ascer-
tain the cause. 1t was found that the
switch to the side track had been thrown
open and that had the passenger train
gone on few hundred feet further it
would have been swung in on the side
track and have collided with train of
freight cars.-Aberdeen Ameri can,
Thursday.
Yesterday Detectives Burke and
Dougherty arrested Gordon Webb at
Andover and last evening Chief of
Police Denny, Chief of Police Martin
and the two detectives arrested two
other fellows who are being held in
Andover. Webb was brought to this
city and his preliminary hearing will
probably be held tomorrow.

HAt Sunrisev

No play has been produced in years
that contains the elements of success
contained in Eat Sunrise. Opening
among the snow capped mountains of
Colorado among the Indians and out
laws, it then takes the audience to
beautiful Denver and back again to the
atmosphere of western military life in
the days of '49, where you see military
life verile and strong, with an
attempted military execution at sun
rise. But the storm clouds are swept
away, the william gets his just deserts,
and all ends to the satisfaction of the
audience. This great scenic play will
be at Coteau Opera House on Monday,
October 2.

The Botany class is making rapid

seeds and roots of living plants, and is
now making a study of the structure
and functions of the stems of moro
cotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants.
They have made drawings and notes Of
the nasturtium, squash, corn, ivy and
the bean. On the side they are max
ing drawings of the different stages of
termination of the pea, corn, squash
and bean from their gardens. These
gardens are growing so well that they
expect to be able to supply the whole
school this winter from them.

threw up his job the other day. When

tlemen with whom you would be glad
to meet and introduce to your families
come here, or elsewhere in the state
buy license, put up at the hotel for
three or four days, hire three or four
livery teams, go out in the country and
remain for a week or more-some have
camp of their own but most of them
pay few dollars toward the susie
nance of some farmers family for the
winter. In their hunting trips we
know of several instances where they
have purchased a quarter section or
more and became tax payers of the
county, During their stay each indi-
vidual had spent from 500 to $3.50 and
when he got around to go home and
wanted some game to take home with
him the party would join in getting a
bunch of farmer boys to go with them
on the last day and see if they could
not get the limit" If not successful
they traded shells for birds all the way
to town and offered "other induce.
ments" to hunting parties among the
natives-who can shoot-for birds to
make their number.
1t is not the outside hunter who gets
the birds; he is good fellow; a nice
clean sport and a gentleman; a good
spender; he is out for time and does
not mind expenses; but as shot gen.
orally he cannot hit balloon. So we
say they are the class of fellows we like
to meet and the game will not suffer at
their hands as it does at the hands of
the violators of the law before the birds
are able to fly.
In fact we do not believe there is
better class of fellows visit South
Dakota than these same hunters and
bid them glad welcome and will be
willing to do all in our part to see that
they have good time, and will loan
them Joe Adams on the last day of
their visit to help them get some birds
for home consumption.
