BIG INCREASE IN

Mitchell Oct. %. From the
advance sheets of the forthcoming
report of Public Examiner Wing
field, the condition Of the state
banks Is shown to be vastly i'm
proved over that made in the June
report, and a comparison of the
same makes fine showing for the
banks. The report as made under
the September call of the national
banks, and at that date the un-
divided profits amounted to So
l94, ,56S. 10 with 81 SAG, 279.7S for
June. The total deposits for
September were $5l 1862 ,323.l .l3
while IN June they were $47. .934.-
1881, making an increase of
81 200, 900. The reserve or cash
FOR September was $l7, 1913, ,O46,
and for June it was $14, 427, ,3l3.-
II due largely to the checking
accounts. The increase of the re-
serve is : 1-2 per cent over the
former statement issued. The
checking accounts also indicate a
fine increase with the September
report showing $21 $50, ,636. 90.
and the June reports amounting to
SIS, ,966, ,949 50. Public Examiner
Wingfeld expects to send out the

Four Year Old Daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Joe Mcclure Is
Burned to Death
LIVES ONLY A SHORT WHILE
Taken to Mobridge Hospital Where
She Succumbs Wednesday
Afternoon

A great shadow of sorrow was
east over this community We'd
nesday afternoon, when it was
learned that little Hazel Mcclure,
the four year old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Joe Mcclure, of this
place, had been burned to death.
While playing in the yard it is
thought that the child found a
match and crawling into a box
used as a dog house. set fire
to some straw with which the box
was partly filled. The hole she
crawled through to get into the
box was so small that it is a mys-
terry how the child ever got through
and after getting in the box there
was no room for her to turn aud
come out. The fire was first
noticed by neighbOr boy, who told
Mrs. Mcclure that her shed was
on fire. The mother rushed into
the yard and seeing part of her
baby's dress sticking out of the
burning box reached in and tried
to pull her out but her efforts were
useless as the child was unable to
help herself and the hole too small
to pull her through. We can
only imagine what the poor mother
must have gone through t o have to
stand by and know that her baby
was burning and yet not able to res
cue her. After receiving several
burns on her hands and arms she
gave up her attempts and screamed
for help. The neighbors attracted !
by her screams came running to
the scene Of horror, and VIM. !
Rasmussen, smashed the box
open and the unconscious little
one was taken from the flames,
but the body was charred from
head to foot
She was rushed directly to the
Mobridge ospital where every
thing possible was done to relieve
her of the intense pain she must
have suffered, but she was
beyond all medical aid, and
few hours later, little Hazel
passed away. .
The body was taken to the Miles
undertaking parlors and burial was
made Thursday afternoon. Father
krause was unable to be here at
that time and the funeral services
will be held Sunday morning in
the Catholic church.
The little girl was the only child
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Mcclure.

HORSES DIE FROM
POISON IN FEED
FARMER SUFFERS GREAT LOSS
WHEN HORSES FED POISON IN
UNKNOWN WAY - LOSS OVER
$1,000

While J. O. Marshall and family
We're visiting relatives over Sunday,
at M. Battenhous, near Argyle, his
horses were given paris green in their
grain early Sunday morning. The fact
that it was unknown to any member
Of the family that the deadly poison
was on the place, shows that It had
probably been there for a few years,
as Mr.. Battenhous had only lived
there since last spring. Had it been
daylight, Mr.. aBttenhous would have
noticed it by the color, hut not sus-
pecting anything, fed them in the u.s.
ual way. By the time they were all
fed and the basket empty, he noticed
something dark in color. in the basket;
and when going to the light, found I'll
Fesembled paris green. Then he
! started at once to get it away from
the horses. BY the time the last grain
was taken, gave the first ones fed, a
chance to get more of the poison, as
it was so plentiful that the feed boxes !!
looked as if they had been painted. A!
veterinary from Argyle was called at
once, but the horses showed no signs
of the poison, and appeared we'll as
usual, all day, but refused to eat
their grain, SO it was thought, they
didn't get enough paris green to hurt
them. During the next night, the
fatal dose began to. act, taking first
one and, then another q

turned out of the barn during the
night unfortunately, picked up a little

loser of his best team.
The loss is estimated about $1100. i.
