The South Dakota University
From Athletics

st. Paul. Min, Dec. 26.-The 1913
track meet of the Minnesota South
Dakota conference will be held at
Huron, S. D., the FIST Saturday in
June. This was decided at the an
uual conference here.
A fight developed in the meeting
over an attempt to expel the University
Of South Dakota. Prof. E. f. Chand-
Ter, of the University of North Da-
kota, led the proposition against the
South Dakota university, alleging
failure of that school to live up to the
tone of the spirit of the eligibility rules
and lack of intes est in conference mat
ters 1t was decided to allow the uni
versity another year before taking ac-
ton. The South Dakota institution

MERIDIAN ROAD
Secretary Nicholson Completes
Trip From Winnipeg
to Galveston

Galveston, Texas, Dec. 26.--The final
step was taken in logging the Meridian
Winnipeg to Gulf automobile load
when John g. Nicholson, secretary OF
the Meridian Road association, arrived
in Galveston from Winnipeg, Canada,
having covered a distance of approx
mately two thousands miles by automo-
bile.
This great automobile highway will
have Winnipeg as its most northern
point and Galveston as the most south.
ern point, and will lead to a closer in.
timacy between these two distant
cities, and will be of the greatest mu-
tual benefit, not only from increased
trade relations, but from the fact that
many Texas automobiles annually
tour Canada by automobile, and will
now be able to avail themselves of this
direct route connecting with the Can
adian highways at Winnipeg and tour
the Rocky mountains and Pacific ocean.
Likewise Canadian automobilists
will be enabled to drive from Winni-
peg, and the nov capped Rockies TO
Galveston, where the warm gulf stream
causes an average temperature of n
degrees during the year, and where
roses are always in bloom, and excel
lent surf bathing is to be had the year
round.
This road will be cut into divisions,
corresponding to the state through
which it passes. There will be the
Canadian. the North Dakota, the
South Dakots, the Nebraska, Kansas
and Oklahoma divisions, and the
North Texas and Gulf division, the
dividing line between the states being
Waco. 1t will be the duty of these
states to organize the counties through
which the road will pass into county
divisions, such county division to urge
the construction of a permanent high
way therein.
There is a very important feature to
this highway which should be borne in
mind. Winnipeg, a city of 200. 600
population, is SO situated that Calves
ton, in point of actual distance, is
the nearest deep water port, with the
exception of the Great Lake outlets,
which are closed to traffic several
months out of the year on account of
ice.

Des Moines, Ia.-Late investigation
disclosss that Ira d. Willoughby, VIII )
was shot and killed here last night
by an unknown man, who has not
been located, worked as a blacksmith
at Summit, s. D., the past summer.
The reports that be was a wealthy
contractor from Summit seem to be
~nnfounded, as Willoughby has long
maintained Des Moines as his home and
has many relatives here. The police
have not been able to solve the canse of
the murder, as Willoughby so far as
known, had no enemies.

marital troubles had been prevalent
in the household. Gilmore's connec-
ton in the case lay In the fact that
he was a sort of star boarder at the
Morrow domicile and the gossip
said he was very popular with Mrs.
Morrow, who devoted considerable
attention to him.
IN STOUT DENIAL.
Gilmore enters a stout denial of
any connection with or knowledge of
the alleged crime. He was In Rock
Island when Morrow met his death.
Gilmore is salesman for the Alec
Auto company of Chicago. He was
in Rock Island more OF less this fall
closing up some important contracts
for his company. Several weeks ago
he received notification of a promo
ton and he left for the east in &C
cordance with change of territory
but had returned for the holidays.
Gilmore is wanted principally, 1t is
thought, to testify at the second cor
oner's inquest set for today.
