YOUTH BURNED BY LIVE WIRE
One Hundred Inches of Skin
Grated Onto Unfortunate
Youth,

Pierre, Sept. 25.-Franklin
Hyde who was so badly hurt by
a live electric wire about the mid
die of July is improving and will
soon be well and strong again.
Many men have been instantly
killed from less electrical shocks
than he received, and it is in
deed a marvel that he has liv-
ed through it. His right hand
and arm seemed at first about
half burnt up; his left shoulder
was deeply burnt ;his left leg and
foot and the scalp on one side of
his head the size of his hand was
burnt off, besides other smaller
hurts.
More than 100 inches of new
skin have been grated onto his
wounds being taken from seven
young men of this city furnish
ed about 30 inches and the 9TH
er boys who so kindly Offer ed
their bodies for the help Of this
little boy, proved themselves to
be of the stuff real heroes are
made Of. Franklin and all his
friends feel under great and last
ing gratitude to all Of those gen
erous self-sacrificing young men
and also to the many boy friends
who continually offered their as
sistance and were so willing to
make sacrifice to help their
cOmrade.
Franklin has lost part of his
right hand, but otherwise he will
eventually be as good rs new. He
has undergone all the great suf-
fering and pain without complaint
and his cheerful whistle or song
have given strength and en-
cOuragement to the dear mother
and friends at all times.
Few are ever called to 90
through what he has and allow
ed to live and all are thankful
that he is now alive and happy,

TWO RAILROADS HAD
DECREASED BUSINESS

Pierre, Sept. 25. The first
annual reports to be filed with the
state railway commission by the
roads operating in this state are
those of the Pierre, Rapid City
and Northwestern; and the
Pierre and Fort Pierre Bridge
Railway company. Both of these
show heavy falling off of busi-
less from that of last year. The
Bridge Railway shows deficit o.
$9,341.19. Their receipts are
shown at $1,000 less than for
last year, with but 5000 reduc-
ton in expenses. The Rapid
City line while showing an excess
over expenses of $45, ,953.26, al
so shows that the receipts over
expenses for last year was $lO7,
SO3, which makes big reduction
for that branch of the system.
This reduction in revenues is can!
ed by the drouth of last year,
which practically cut off any
shipments out except those OF liv'
stock, and also reduced the ship
ment in by lack of cash on the
part Of the settlers.

SEARCHING FOR MUROERERS
ziebach County Authorities Are
Searching for Murderers Of
Young Halfbreed

Aberdeen, Sept. 25.-The auth.
critics Of Ziebach county are
searching for the unknown mur-
derer or murderels Of, Joseph
Narcell, aged l9, a half breed
Sioux, who was found dead near
that town, with gunshot wounds
in his body.
The body Of the young man was
found on an Indian allotment
owned by man named Brown,
whose wife is Of Indian blood,
two and half miles from Du-
pree. Brown had let some In
diansscamp Oh the land while at
tending the recent Indian fair
at Dupree. He went out to the
place on horseback early in the
morning and found the body OF
young Narcelle, lying ON its side
and with one hand covered with
blood. Investigation disclosed
the fact that there was u charge
OF shot in the right side, which
had caused the death. The last
seen OF Narcelle was the evening
before, when he was riding horse
back accompanied by reserva-
ton character known as Irish
Tommy. 1t is said Narcelle had
told some of his friends Irish
Tommy (his correct name is
Thomas Condon,) had threatened
him in IA dispute over the own
elship of a horse. Condor is
missing. A bottle partly filled
with whisky was found on the
young mans body. Also, a short
distance away, was found an
empty whisky jug, indicating a
considerable quantity of the Ii
quor had been consumed by some,
one. AT the inquest Sam Shot AT
John Ghost Dog, two Sioux In
dians, told OF having come across
Narcelle and another man late in
the evening and Narcelle had
told them to "clear OUT" which
they did. They could throw no
additional light on the matter,
and the jury returned a verdic
that Narcelle had come to his
death from gunshot wounds in.
flicted by parties unknown.
The dead youth was son of
Narcisse Narcelle, French-In-
dian who was very prominent OF
the reservation until his death
two years ago by accident. The
Narcelle family had been well
known on the reservation and
among the Sioux Indians, with
whom they had intermarried, fol
several generations. The dead
boy was the last male member OF
the family.

OBJECT LESSON IN
IRRIGATION's FAVOR

Pierre, Sept. 25.-George Walk
rr of Sansarc, on the high prairie
Of northern Stanley county, built
two large dams on his place and
this year tried an irrigation ex-
pertinent from one of them. lie
plowed two acres and planted
the tract to potatoes. Half OF
this he irrigated by drawing wat
er from one of his dams. and the
other he allowed to 60 without
irrigation. The soil and con-
ditions other than the irrigation
were the same, and both acres
were given the same cultivation.
He is now putting his plan to the
practical test Of the digger and
finds that the acre which he ir-
rigated is producing just five
times the crop as the other acre
which was not treated. The re-
suit is that he is arranging to ir-
rigate about twenty acres from
his dams next season. and will
confine his farming operations
largely to that tract.
