LEADER.
direction of defensive tactics and the
breaking up Of the opponents hit and
run game. has worked wonders.
"Bresnahan Is using headful Of
gray matter" said prominent ball
player the other day. HE learned in
side baseball when he caught for the
Giants under McGraw's management
and he has gradually drummed the
principles Of that style Of play into his
pliable team. In the first place Roger
has impressed upon his pitchers the
fact that they must follow his instruc-
lions to the letter and that they must
work in regular rotation. He has made
them practice control until at least
four Of them, Sallee, Harmon, Golden
and Steele. have 1t down fine. Bresna-
han calls for more balls over the plate
than any other catcher. He believes in
putting batsman In the hole as quick
ly as possible, for he says that If the
first ball is strike the confidence Of
the hitter Is decreased as much as the
pitchers confidence Is strengthened.
Confidence is watchword with the
Cardinals manager, and he plays that
game to the limit.
"By making his pitchers work the
corners and the middle Of the plate, at
the same time wasting ball now and
then at his direction, Bresnahan has
succeeded in developing box work that
Is big factor in the teams victories.
AS student Of batsmen's weak points
he has no superior, and by enabling
his pitchers to work them he Is get
ting results. Roger also keeps an eye
peeled for opposing base runners and
Is pegging them out with some great
throwing. He has taught his men how
to play the hit and run game, not only
from first to second base. but also
from second home. and that is why
many games have been won.
The Cardinals have become infect
I'd with Bresnahan's confidence and
tnergy. and they actually believe they
can win the pennant. Bres has point
ed out to them that the worlds series
means nearly $4,000 apiece. and the

The Spectre Knight

The entertainment given Mon
day night by the high school was
very pleasing. The high school or
chestra deserves great deal of
praise for the good music they
furnished both at night and after
noon performances.
The mennechoir displayed some
good voices and much will be ex-
pected Of them in the future.
The readings by Miss Odell and
Miss Barnard were very good while
the medley by Messrs. Denny and
Frisbie took down the house.
The Spectre Knight given under
the direction of Mrs. Simpson was
far the best thing of its kind ever
attempted by local talent.
The cast Of characters were TAX
en- by Clyde Church. Robert Eas-
ton. Arthur Hagaman. Naomi Man
beck. Dorothy Bent and Joyce
Myers. Much ease and grace was
displayed by these young people and
their voices and ability at acting
give promise of great achievements
in this line.

Too Good

1t is not often that anything be-
comes too good-much less young
men. but just at present that seems
to be the trouble with our high
school football team. They have
gained such reputation that there
is general scramble among the

been ruled out of the league. and
no action to that effect has even
been attempted. Therefore no team
can claim the state championship
until it has defeated the LamSr

Lad Fatally Injured

of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Pierce, of

playing around the water tank and

In some way he fell, striking his head

playmates summoned assistance, but il

body could be fished out from the bot.

ton restored, but the cold water anc

fit about for few hours, enjoy the
light of day or the glare Of an electric

lists Familiarity as the May fly. In sci.
entific terms it is called ephemerida
This name Is taken from the Greek
word ephemeros, which means lasting
only for day. To the scientists the
sand fly is one Of the most interesting
and beautiful of insects. The fly lives
but day at most, but before IL sees
the light 1t has lived from one to three
years under the water in the form Of
what the scientists call nymph. The
nymph can both walk and swim. As
1t grows 1t molts, and after about the
ninth mott tiny wings appear on It's
thorax. These grow larger until the
insect comes forth from the water a
sand fly. 1t then has but one duty-to
lay its eggs. This done, the sand fiy
zigzags through the air until its brief
life is ended.

More Rain Than Usual

According to the measurements made
at the Huron station of thu weather
bureau, the precipitation for July
amounted to 1926 inches. The normal
precipitation for July is 2.94 inches.
The rainfall for the month just closed
was therefore about one-third of an
inch in excess of the average precipita-
ton for the month. During the seven
months of 1911 that have been torn
from the calendar the precipitation has
been about equal to that of the II
months of 1910, which was deficient
beyond all precedent, although fair
crop was produced. The calamity Of
current year was in the intense heat of
June that cooked much of the small
grain. OF other crops there is going
to be comfortable yield, aside from
the accident of untimely frost.

Selling OFF Live Stock

Cattle sales being reported from
the range country around Belle
Fourche tell of good prices being
brought for nearly everything sold.
Cattlemen just over the South Dakota
line in eastern Montana, are almost
without exception selling out COM
pletely, as they fear at that distance
from the railroad to face the winter
with possibility of no feed. These
herds, including and 3-year Odds,
yearlings and old cows, are bringing
$50 per head. The rains had the effect
on the sheepmen of causing them to
change their minds about shipping out
everything, and they are holding part
of their bunch. AS the grass on the
ranges is beginning to show up green
again, so many sheepmen are willing
to take chance.

Prisoner FIees on Horse

Elmer Ziegier, who recently com
pleted term in the penitentiary for
the theft of five horses in Stanley
county, made a sensational escape from
the authorities of that county after
having been arrested on an old charge
involving the alleged theft in 1908 of
several other horses.
Ziegler had been given his freedom
for few hours so he could make an
effort to furnish bond of $500 for his
release pending trial. He was in
charge of Deputy Sheriff Norman.
Riding past the deputy on a horse
which he had just mounted, Ziegler
said:
'Pll go down and put him 1.-THE horse)
up, then Wen go up there" meaning
the courthouse and Jail.
The deputy sheriff followed on foot
in time to see Ziegler put spurs to the
horse and ride at top speed out of
town. The roads were too muddy for
the deputy sheriff to give chase in an
auto, so he secured horse as quickly
as possible and started in pursuit, but
was unable to overtake the fugitive,
who now is believed to be in hiding at
some remote point on the Cheyenne
River Indian reservation.

Up Against Live Wire

Ralph Johnson. aged II years. had q
close call from being electroeuted on
last Wednesday evening about s oclo *
at Sioux Falls.
Young Johnson in company with a
number of other lads of about his own
age were fishing along the west banks
of the Sioux. To get his line further
out into the stream young Johnson
took hold of wire leading from pole
which carries electric light wires. No
sooner had the lads hand touched the
pole than he let out screech that
attracted the attention of his COM
panions who were greatly frightened
and they, too, began screaming. This
attracted the attention of man whose
name was not learned. He grasped a
piece of board on the way and with
this he knocked the wire from the
squirming lads hand. The lad released
from the wire fell into the river, ond
when he was pulled to the shore he
was unconscious.
1t took some time to revive the lad,
and when this was accomplished he was
taken to his home. One hand was
severely burned and the other received
number of slight burns.

Artesian Wells Being Sunk

The weather conditions west Of the
Missouri this year have started boom
in the sinkingof artesian wells, and the
state engineers department is being
called upon frequently to attend to
that branch of the work. Assistant
Engineer Green is now out locating
two wells in Rolling Green township,
in northwestern Lyman county, and a
petition was filed asking that four
wells be located in Vivian township in
the central portion of Lyman. Petit
tons are also on file for the location of
wells in several other townships in
Lyman county. All of these wells are
to be sunk at township expense, and
the purpose Of the project is to SO
locate the wells that their flow can be
diverted into the different draws in the
townships, to give as much Of the area
of the township as possible flow Of
water.
Specifications have been completed
and advertisements for bids prepared
for the sinking of well in Meers
township, Stanley, the bids to be
opened at Meers within few days.

sound like the swapping of a stick, and
the next instant ball of fire as large

posed, but thought he had better
practice up before taking so hot ball
right off the bat. The bolt of light
ming first struck telephone pole near

Unrequitted affection is said to have
been the cause of the attempted self
destruction of Oliver S. Leonesio, Of
Terry, who is well known in the Black
Hills. Leonesio swallowed about an
ounce of carhoic acid but the prompt
action of shift boss, who saw the act,
will probably save his life. Eeonesio's
wife left his home and declined to
return which caused the man to brood.
He took a phial of the acid and with
the words this ends it all'' drained it
but is now at the Homestake hospital.
