THE MILITARY INSTITUTE AGAIN

The last issue of the Northwest Post,
published at Belle Fourche, says: This
paper has had a good deal of sport with
Colonel r. d. Mcneil and his military
institute, which he has located in almost
every town in the Black Hills during
the past year, and which he finally plac-
ed at Hot Springs According to a dis
patch in the papers of the 9th, judS-
ment has been secured against the
institute for the payment of the first
months salary of the headmaster, and
the property of the school will have to
be sold to pay the same. The Rapid City
Journal of the date mentioned remarks
in this connection:
"The Black Hills Military institute
appears to be sort of bubble or foot
ball which has been booted about the
Black Hills for year. 1t first appear
ed on the gridiron of Black Hills fields
early last fall and attempted to install
its household penates in the old Indian
school, north of this city. One Major
Mcneil, he ofthe military airs and put
tees, danced attendance on the business
men and even got promise from the
city commissioners to put water in the
old building and construct a macadam
road to it. Then suddenly he disap-
peared and was heard Of at Whitewood,
next Sylvan Lake and it's hotel was to
be the center of military training and
classic learning, and several other loca-
tions were talked of as the best places to
locate this popular institution"

An exchange says: Rubberastinitis
is new and virulent disease that has
broken out among the patrons of the
rural telephone lines. 1t is mainly
caused by holding the telephone receiv-
er to the ear and listening to other peo-
ple's conversations until the electrical,
vibratory contact causes mental aberra-
ton and oblivion to the fact that the
transmitter is open and that the sounds
of the hired man splitting kindling or
ma spanking Johnnie, pa playing the
fiddle or accordion and Tommie horn
are not conducive to sweetening the
tempers of the parties who are trying to
talk to one another. 1t is said that some
people are 30 afflicted with this awful
disease that they stand at the telephone
from six O'Clock in the morning until
ten at night and have their meals
brought to them.

SOMETHING WORTH WHILE.

There is general rejoicing in the Meth
odist and Congregational churches over
the splendid result oftheir recent united
effort. There has been much concern
and grumbling for long time over the
condition of the side walks in front oi
the churches, and lately few construc-
tive minds proceeded to plan their
better .nent, with the result of a fine
gravel walk extending the full length oi
the block.
On Tuesday last an old fashioned
"Bee" was called, and the call met with
most generous response. On Monday,
several gentlemen under the skilled
supervision of Mr.. Hedrick prepared the
supports, and had all in readiness for the
great day. By o'clock the teams were
on their way to the gravel pit, and by
nightfall fifty loads had been hauled
and laid in place by small army Of
volunteer workers. A fine dinner and
supper were served by the ladies of the
two churches, and, judging from the
many complimentary expressions, were
greatly enjoyed.
BY p. m. the walk was nearly com
plete and the churches were rejoicing
over very special reason for Thanks
giving, and find themselves unable
to adequately express their gratitude tc
all the gentlemen who 80 generously
| donated their services.
1t is splendid walk and each
and everyone who contributed tc
it must feel that his services are fully
appreciated.
Both Congregational and Methods
societies hereby express their very heart
] felt thanks to all.

ARRESTED FOR GRAND LARCENY.

About May 10th, 1912, Virgil Crawley
missed about seven head of cattle from
his ranch near Folsom. After looking
all summer for some trace of them, he
learned that Harry Baird had sold cer-
tain cattle which answ cred the descrip-
tion of the ones missing by him to John
Reddick, and that they had been ship
ped by Reddick to Belle Fourche. Up
on going to Belle Fourcbe, be learned
that Reddick had sold cattle to different
parties in Custer county, Montana, and
Harding county, South Dakota. The
cattle were finally found by Mr.. Craw-
ley in the possession of Louis Jones in
the Slim Buttes country in Harding
county. Jones informed Crawley that
he had purchased the cattle from John
Reddick. Mr.. Crawley then returned
to Belle Fourche, and was told by Mr..
Reddick that he had purchased them
from Harry Baird of Hermosa. Baird
claimed that he bought them from man
by the name of Thurman, who he rep
resented as being homesteadsr near
Mr.. Crawley's ranch in the vicinity OF
Folsom, but was unable to find any one
who had seen or ever heard of the man.
Baird was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Paul d. McClelland on November 18th
for grand larceny upon a warrant sworn
out by Mr.. Crawley, and brought to Gus
ter. The trial was set for November
26th and Baird put under 5000 bonds for
his appearance on that date.

STERLING AND aRANTHAM MIX.

The story has leaked out of fstic
encounter at Vermillion before R. B
Tripp, judge of the state circuit court
there, between Thomas Sterling, candi.
date for United States senator, and Ed
L. Grantham, of Aberdeen, attorney for
the Milwaukee railroad. In telling oil
the fight the news dispatches say:
an the trial of the case of Dunlap
against the Milwaukee road Sterling
represented the plaintiff, while Gran.
than appeared for the defendant com.
pany. Mr.. Grantham was attempting to
introduce some expert testimony, to
which Mr.. Sterling repeatedly made
lengthy objection. This continued fol
some time, and then Grantham made an
appeal to the court, claiming Sterling's
objections were interposed for the pur.
pose of preventing the witness from
answering the questions. An alterca.
ton arose between the attorneys, during
which Sterling is alleged to have called
Grantham liar and made a rush fol
him. Grantham is said to have struck
at Sterling in defense, and lively mix
up occurred, in which Sterling struck
Grantham over the eyes, crushing his
glasses and cutting his nose and face
Both attorneys were fined $50 by Judge
Trip for contempt of court"

Theatres.

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE
The Lottery Man." one of New York s
famous comedy successes, written by Rida
Johnson Young, will be presented by the
Orpheum Players at the Chestnut Street
Theatre next week, with Charles Balsar
in the title role, originally played by Cyril
SCOTT. For uniqueness in conception and
originality in amusing situations, ''The
Lottery Man. stands foremost as one of
the best laugh producing comedies of re-
cent years. 1t is written in three acts,
and every act is just brimful of good,
clean, wholesome and infectious fun. If
it were possible to count the actual num-
Der of laughs contained in each act, the
total surely would run into the hundreds.
The scenes of "The Lottery Man" are laid
in New York, and the story concerns the
adventures of an energetic and enterpris-
ing young newspaper man, Jack Wright,
by name, whose chief assets in life are a
good mother and most inventive brain.
It is not stretching the point to say that
THE Lottery MAN. is one of the very
best laughing plays Philadelphia has seen
in many seasons. A very pretty produc-
ton has been planned by Stage Director
Percy Winter.

ser,ous,v Wounded.

1t was close call from death for John
Ross, colored, late Friday night, when a
bullet entered his neck from revolver In
the hands Of Frances Worry, which was
discharged while she was handling It.
Ross, who was boarding with Miss Worry,
was employed In the erection of the new
public school. County Detective Parker,
Policeman Hall and DR.. r. Fl. Parsons
were hastily summoned, and the injured
man was removed to the Burlington
County Hospital. 1t is said that the
shooting was an accident Miss Worry Is
being held In Jail to await the result Of
Ross's injuries. He is paralyized In the
lower limbs, and was taken to Philadel-
phia hospital yesterday to have the bullet
located by the X-rays.
In connection with this matter the
young lady says she has nothing to worry
about, except the condition of Ross.
While preparing to retire for the night in
the presence of her mother, Ross was In
his own room, the door being open. Miss
Worry says she removed the bullets
before putting the weapon under her
pillow, as she has always kept revolver
In the house since her parents separated.
Calling to Ross to hold up his hands,
Frances said "1ll shoot you" He held
up his hands as requested, and when he
saw the girl In action, remarked: Don't
do that, you might kill me-" There is
no danger, as l have removed the cart
ridges" came the reply. "But 1t is al
ways the empty gun that kills" continued
Ross. The trigger was pulled and there
was only click. But the operation was
repeated and there was loud report from
the "unloaded" weapon.
Ross version Of the affair is somewhat
different He says that Frances came
and sat on the side Of his bed, said she
would shoot him and then fred. This
statement cannot be taken officially, as
Ross has told conflicting stories, which Is
probably due to the condition OF his
mind. caused by the paralysis from which
he is suffering. Ross lives at Burlington,
and was accompanied to the hospital
yesterday by his brother Reuben. who has
retained County Auditor Peacock to look
into the matter.
