MAY NAME
FOR GOVERNOR
REPORTED IN HILLS HE MAY BE
PUT UP AT THE CONFER
ENCE IN MITCHELL.

Deadwood, S. D.-Taft republicans
IN this part of the state are asking
Tor the nomination of H. l.. Loucks
Oh WATERFOWL, president of the Farm
ers' league, for governor. The Taft
men throughout the state are look
ing around for a candidate to oppose
1t. Governor Frank M. Byrne of
faulkton, who Won the republican
mlnatl in the June primaries.
Byrne is not satisfactory to the Taft
lemen because he has steadfastly
declined to support Taft since the
Chlcago nomination and Loucks who
was a strong LaFollette
IN this state before the Chicago con-
ventlon, has since endorsed Taft's
lomlnation. 1t is understood to be
he plan OF the Black Hills Taft men
to try to have Loucks named at the
Mitchell conference September 10
when plans will be laid to defeat the
present set of electors because they
also decline to come out as Taft men.
Just how Loucks' name will be plac-
ed OH the ballot is yet a mooted cues
ton and no one seems to definitely
understand the legal methods to pur-
sue but the best lawyers in his sec
ton are now engaged in working out
a plan that they expect will be salts
factory to their element at least and
effective with their opponents.

PIERRE FLOODED
BY HEAVY RAIN
WATER SWEEPS DOWN FROM
HILLS AND FLOOD HOUSES
TO THE WINDOW LEDGES.

Pierre, S. D.-The storm Thursday,
night was the most destructive which
has swept over this city for years.
\ cloud-burst north of the city sent
4 wall of water about six feet high
'olling down "Hilger's Gulch," a
dry gulch which reaches back into
he hills for several miles. The gulch
proper ends Just below the state
grounds, and the open ditch which Is
supposed to care for the water across
the fiat to the river could not carry
one hundredth part of the flood. The
water was forced out onto the lower
lands, resulting in a number of
houses being flooded to the window
Lodges, and as the water came with
such a rush, there was no time to do
much in the way of saving household
property, 1t being a question of get
ing out on the part of families, as
they did not know how much higher
the flood might rise. Several old
people and children were carried out.
and smaller buildings swung of their
foundations and dropped itno deeper
water. At some places the water
was six feet deep around buildings
n the flood district. While the ag-
gergate loss will be heavy, it is
catered, but among some of the
losers, it is practically their all, and
makes 1t severe. Probably the
heaviest individual loser will be H.
}. Enoe, whose greenhouses and
gardens were swept with about four
feet of water. At the government
indian school the power house was
Hooded to the top of the boilers, and
he basement Of Burke HIP. the
new building just completed, was
filled. The flood was all from the
"ater which came pouring down from
the hills north OF the city. and the
rush was SO great at some places that
"e pressure on the storm sewers on
hill streets forced the man-hole COW
rs off and threw a column of water
'everal feet into the air. There was
ONE hail with the storm and several
places were struck by lightning.
