irrigation work. While this state con-
ducts a number Of experimental farms
none of them provide for irrigation
experimentation. Mr.. Diesem has
been comforting with the state engi
neer's department, and the depart
ment of irrigation, and between them
they have secured a ten-acr tract on
the Phillip ranch in Stanley county,
which will be set aside for the expert
mental work il the national department
will authorize the experiment work on
a private tract, and through the assis-
lance of private parties instead of the
state. The proposition has beer sent
to headquarters of the government
department, and if the proposition is
accepted, a government employee will
be placed in charge of the work. This
will go a long way toward development
of just what can be done by irrigation
in the central portion Of the state,
where a large amount of land is being
put up in shape for such class of
farming.

A damage suit and the arrest Of a
mother and daughter has resulted from
a recent sensational incident in Roberts
county, when because Of alleged
Jealousy a young girl was enticed into
a vacant house and horsewhipped. The
injured girl is Miss Edna Lovelett, and
the persons whom she accuses of hav-
ing horsewh;pped her are Mrs. Matilda
Huempfner and her daughter, Miss
Lizzie Huempfner. On complaint of
Miss Lovelett the mother and daughter
were arrested under an order from the
court in an arrest and bail proceedings
the plaintiff in the action alleging
injury to her person and character. A
love affair is said TO have been at the
bottom of the trouble, the mother and
daughter it is alleged having become
angered because of a sweetheart of the
daughter is alleged to have paid too
much attention to Miss Lovelett. Both
the plaintiff and the defendants have
engaged the best legal talent available,
and when the cas- is tried it promises
TO be n of the most sensational and
hotly contested actions ever tried in
the state circuit court Of Roberts
county. Bonds in the case of the
defendants were fixed at S., 900 each.

Elevators wiz All Open

Secretary CassilI. of the ra Away
commission, has been investigating the
possibilities OF the elevator business in
this state for the coming year, and his
reports are to the effect that practi-
ally every elevator in the state is to be
opened for business this fall. Or at
least that is the indication, and the
reported intention of the managers at
the present time, as the outlook for a
splendid crop of grain was never better
at this season of the year than It is at
this date this spring. Farmers report
that the hay crop will be far ahead of
what it. was last year, as the grass is
now farther along. with a better stand
on the prairie than it showed the mid
die Of June last year, with the prairie
in first class condition for forcing the
grown with the coming of warmer
weather.

Rapid City,s Sew Power

After nearly two years one of the
most important water power develop
ment plants in the west has been COM
pleted in Rapid City by a company
known as the Dakota Power company.
The company is composed of Rapid
City men. among the leading spirits in
the company being Judge Levi Niece,
of the state circuit court, John c.
Haines, Geo. B. Mansfield and L. r.
Richards. The plant was constructed
at a cost of about 10000 90, and will
develop immense power. The o n
struction of the plant should prove of
great value to the mining industry in
that part of the Black Hills. as it will
enable the operators to procure cheap
electric power, which will be distrib-
uted for a great distance in all direc-
tons from the central plant. The
water power for the generation of
electricity in the power plant of the
company is derived from an immense
dam on Rapid creek. some miles from
Rapid City.

Indicted by the GRAND Iurx

The grand jury Friday returned
Indictments against F. M. Gage and
Henry Andrews charging them with
the murder of Bert Morrison, the
charred remains of whose body was
found in a burned shack near Canyon
Lake, six miles above Rapid City, early
IN January. A dog at that time was
seen gnawing at something, which, the
c%oroner's inquest later discovered, was
what remained of Morrison. Id, ntif-
cation was by means of a piece of
matted cloth under one of the armpits
which did not burn.
Detectives unraveled the mystery
showing that Morrison was hit on the
head with a billet of wood during an
alteration in his home in North Rapid
with Gage, Andrews and Others. This
happened November q, 1911. The fol-
lowing day the body was loaded into
Cages wagon and carried to a deserted
shack. On the night of November %,
il is alleged, Andrews went to the
shack and built a pyre, saturated it
with kerosene and. placing the body on
top, poured oil or it and set the entire
mass on fire.
Gage was arrested on a bench war
ram after the Indictment had been
returned. Andrews has been in Jail
for some time charged with the crime.

institution. The residence halls are now
filled TO their utmost capacity. and in
some cases are over1owing. The univer-
sity is growing rapidly in all branches.
but II Is hampered in its fullest develop
ment through lack Of resources. Accord
ing to the Cardinals epistie, the summer
school for the Catholic Sisters is also
developing rapidly. Last summer more
than 800 teaching sisters were present for
a summer course. -
This unusual growth creates a demand
for more instructors as well as new
equipment and buildings. The Cardinal
calls attention to the close connection
of every Catholic with this university
and appeals to than for a continuance
of the support which they have 50 gener-
ously given in the past The Cardinal
makes an especial appeal to the wealthy
Catholics, and asks them as a body to
seriously consider their duty toward this
central school Of the Catholic Church
The Cardinal appeals to them for en-
dowment funds, scholarship and special
funds. which action must necessarily be
recorded in the history of the church IN
their favor. The Cardinal concludes his
letter with an earnest appeal for CO.
operation for the further upbuilding Of
the Catholic University Of America
Pope Plus X sent letter to Cardinal
Gibbons several months ago, following
the report made to him by Rev. Thomas
]. Shahan, rector of the university. in
which he congratulated the prelate. to
whose efforts the Pope ascribes the pres
ent prosperity Of this central school Of
the Catholic Church.
The Pope approves OF the action OF the
Cardinal in appealing to the Catholics in
his archdiocese for their support OF the
university, and has urged-him to impart
to the people the necessity for keeping
up the prestige Of this school.

Representative Wilson, Democrat,
I, Defeated in Pennsylvania, Urged
; for Secretary of labor.

Friends OF Representative William B.
Wilson, Democrat, who represents the
Fifteenth Pennsylvania District in the
present House, and who was defeated
in the election last Tuesday,-wil urge
President-elect Wilson to name him as
Secretary of Labor, a post which Con-
gress is expected to create during the
coming winter.
Representative Wilson has been elected
three times from a normally Republican
district. He is chairman of the House
Committee on, Labor and has consistently
advocated the passage Of measures de-
sired by the American Federation of
Labor, including the creation Of the
proposed Department of Labor. He was
defeated by Edgar r. Kiess, Republican,
by a very narrow margin. =
1t is understood here that Samuel
Gompers, = president of the American
Federation of Labor, will be one of those
who will ask President-elect Wilson to
make the appointment.
It is believed here that should the De-
partment Of Labor bill fail Of enactment
some other important post in the new
administration will be offered to Rep
resentatiHe Wilson, who is one of the
very few Democratic Tame ducks"
