2 NIGHTS IN
TOP OF TREE
Aged Man Saved by Curiosi-
ty of Friend.

Livingston, n. j., Aug. 5.-James Far
rell, an aged man, who has lived for
many years as a ~recluse, was held for
two days and nights in the fork Of an
thigh wedged there. He was found
and released when death by starvation,
thirst and exposure threatened him.
Farrell had a hut in the Kent woods,
almost a mile back from the road and
far away from any other %habitation.
He has lived there alone, half hermit
and half wOodsman, avoiding curious
visitors. He lived on berries, fruit,
nuts, small game and milk. He got the
milk at the farm of Munson B. Kent.
Thursday afternoon Farrell climbed
an apple tree and filed his pockets
with fruit. As he was descending a
limb broke beneath him, and he fell,
landing in a fork of the tree. The
force of his fall so wedged his body In
the fork hat he was unable to extri-
cate himself.
Gave Up Hope Of Rescue.
Farrell was exposed to the heavy
storms of Thursday and Friday. His
only food was the apples In his peck
cts. Saturday that supply was ex-
hausted. He had given up hope Of res
cue, as few persons visited the spot.
Mr.. Kent, however, became uneasy
when Farrell did not make his accus-
toned visit to the farm Saturday even
Ing, and he started for the hut. While
passing the edge of the woods he heard
a noise In an apple tree. At first he
thought 1t was a wildcat and was
about to look for his own safety when
he made out the sound to be a repeti-
ton of his own name. Farrell's throat
was so dry that his cries sounded more
like those Of an animal than a human.
Mr.. Kent freed the aged man, assist
ed him to his hut and brought food.
He offered to attend Farrell, but the
recluse said he wanted no intrusion
and would find a way to attend to his
own wants.

FOOTBALL RULES
COACH POLLING PREPARES LIST
OF IMPORTANT ONES WHICH
MAKE GAME THIS YEAR
OF UNUSUAL INTER-
EST.

Coach Polling of the Mitchell high
school has prepared a list of the more
important of the changes IN the foot
ball rules for the coming season,
which If we'll understood by the pro-
spective spectator will give a better
understanding of the game. The
changes as he has outlined them are
as follows:
1. The playing field, now 10
yards in length will be shortened to
an even 100 yards. This change in
itself is not vital, but it is made in
order to make possible on small
grounds an extension of territory in
which the forward pass may be used.
2. A zone of 10 yards width be-
You'd the goal line is established. The
purpose of this is to provide ample
space for execution of the forward
pass and scoring on a pass made
across the goal line into this zone is
permitted.
3. The number of downs to gain
10 yards is increased by one.
A.. The on-side kick is eliminat-
ed.
5. The value of a touch down is
increased from five to six points, the
goal from touch down and other
scores standing as at present.
6. The 20 yard IONS, in which the
present rules now provide restriction
to interference with the forward pass,
is eliminated 81 that the restrictions

field.
4. After a touch-back the ball
will be put in play on the 20 yard
line instead of the 25 yard line.
8. On a kickoff the ball. in
stead of being put in play in the cen
ter of the field, will be put in play
from the 40 yard line of the team
kicking OFF. Taking into consideration
the shortening of the field, and this
change in the rules, the kickoff dis
lance is heightened by five yards.
9. The field judge is eliminated.
The head linemaG, hereafter will
keep time and be judge of off-side
plays in the line of scrimmage.
10. The number of men allow
on the side linec, now three, will
reduced to one for each team.
IL. Provision will be made that
a bounding ball cannot score a legi-
goal. as in the Princeton
game last fell.
-. The interval between the first
and second, and the third and fourth
periods is reduced from two minutes
one minute.

FOR
HORSE DISEASE
ANIMALS DYING BY HUNDREDS
IN NEBRASKA AND THEY
WILL BE BARRED FROM
STATE.

Deadwood, S. Dc. A. Leslie of
this city, deputy state veterinary sur
geon, has just returned from the dis
tricts in northern Kansas and south
ern Nebraska where a fatal disease
among horses is killing thousands of
his father, also a veterinary surgeon
It Belvediere, Neb., that the disease
much increased in violence and
tent in that territory.
DR.. Leslie has advised the authori-
les of South Dakota to quarantine
.he south line of this state to prevent
the entrance of horses from Nebraska
into South Dakota, and rigorous act
ion is expected to be taken. DR.. Leslie
after exhaustive analysis of blood of
horses killed by the disease, pro-
nounces it trypanozoma, a malady at
fecting the intestinal tract and ner-
vouS system.
Fifteen hundred horses succumbed
in the period of four days in northern
Kansas during DR.. Leslie's recent
visit, and hundreds of others We're
afflicted. The animal usually lives 60
hours otter becoming sick. DIR. Leslie
says the disease resembles "maldXde-
carderos," the wildly known South
American horse fatality in some of its
symptoms. He thinks the disease in
infectious and is carried by insects,
judging from the results of his inves-
tigation up to date.
He states that it is the worst ca
lamity which has ever been among
the horses of the middle west. and its
ravages may prove calamitous.

CORN is DOOMED
BY HOT WEATHER

Aberdeen, S. D.-The hot weather
of the past ten days has placed the
South Dakota corn crop in a place
where it bids fair to rival the wheat,
oats and barley crops for productiv-
ity. There was a period during Aug
ust when corn raisers We're worried
over the condition of the crop, mas
much as too cool, damp weather was
retarding it's growth. The hot
weather which has prevailed through
out September has relieved their
minds, for cor needed the hot
weather. and it now promises to
make one OF the best crops of the
grain eve produced since South Da-
kota farmers first became convinced
it was possible to grow corn in this
state.
The earlier prospects for big small
grain crops are proven every day as
reports from the threshing machines
are given out.

PROVING TT TO KANSAS.

A letter was received by the Corn

mar in Kansas this morning who
stated that he had seen the Corn
Palace in years gone by and believed
it to be M of the greatest shows to
be seen anywhere. He stated hat he
was telling OF its wonders to people
in a certain town in Kansas and thai
he was laughed at there as the citi-
ems claimed South Dakota could
not raise good enough and big enough
corn to cover such a structure. He
asked for some literature to prove his
points. A large number of the cor

tribute throughout his territory.
