HELGER;ON OUT FOR
STATE SENATORSHIP
MT. VERNON MERCHANT TELLS
MITCHELL PEOPLE THAT HE
WILL MAKE THE RACE.

Gus Fl. Helgerson, a. hardware
merchant of Mt. Vernon, while in
Mitchell yesterday, asked a number
of his friends for their support for
him for the republican nomination
for state senator from Dawson coun-
ty. In this normal way he told
them that he would be a candidate
for the place.
Mr.. Helgerson is one OF the most
popular men in the county, as shown
particularly in the large vote he re-
ceived two years ago in the general
election, when Re led all the county
candidates on the republican ticket.
Mr.. Helgerson has served two terms
in the lower house of the legislature
and it was both his record in his
first term and his personal popular
ity that won him his large vote two
years ago.
Whether Charles Boreson of Eth
an, who sat with Helgerson in the
lower house at the last session OF
the legislature, will be a candidate to
succeed himself, has lot been an
nounced, but it is said that he I'M
doubted1y will be in the field. He
is one of the most successful and re-
liable farmers in the county and has
a large circle of friends.
While the primaries are only three
months away, comparatively little
has been heard of the local cam
paign. 1t is believed the first term
ers will be renominated by their
party without much, if any, OPPOSE
ton. In any event it is almost GER
tain there will be no factional on-
test as there has been in npG;evious

Pierre, S. D.--A workman who

at tine time they did a lot of rail
way grading in this city five years
ago, stuck his pick into Il pile of
pasteboard tubes, and was kicking
them around to try to learn what
they were for, when another man
who knew came into sight and began
to beg the man with the pick to let
we'll enough alone, while he was
backing away as fast rs he consist
emily could. An investigation show
ed that the pick had cut into a cache
of two hundred sticks of dynamite.
which had evidently been buried by
the grading crew, and forgotten
when they left. The plant was
within less than two blocks of the,
statehouse, and If it had not been
frozen there would have been a shak-
ing which would have stirred the.
whole town.
