conducting a Christmas service at the
church Sunday evening, sneak thieves
entered the parsonage, next door to
the church. The thieves took all of
the Christmas presents the Mattison's

representing needle work over which
Mrs. Mattison had spent long hours of
labor. They also ransacked bureau
drawers and secured $3.50 in cash.
Burke-William Lueders, employed
with a threshing crew some miles from
here, had a narrow escape from instant
death, his life having been saved by a
cotton wood tree, which prevented him
being crushed to death when a water
tank containing about twelve barrels of
Water capsized and started to roll over
him The cottonwood tree CHANGED to
stand in the pathway of the tank and
stopped 1t just as it caught Lueders.
As it was the unfortunate man had one
of his legs caught, and the bone was
crushed to some extent. 1t was some
time before he could be released from

Lillian Cbivington and Miss Vera
Okey were prepared for him. The

ARTES|AN WATER
Beresford to Try to Secure ar
Artesian Well

Beresford, Dec. 27.-For many years
the people of this city have been with
out a supply of water that was fit for
anything except the putting ont OF
fires. For awhile it was planned to
go to the Brule creek bottoms some 10
or ~ miles away, and there secure soft
water that could be piped TO the city.
This scheme has later been abandoned
and AS a last resort the city council has
let a contract to j, Fl. Jansen of Woon-
socket to sink a well to the artesian
stratum which is believed to underlie
the surface here at a depth of 500 to
600 feet. This we'll will be similar
in character to the one put down at
the State university at Vermillion 80
miles away, two years ago. At that
place the Dakota sandstone. which
contains the artesian water, was
reached at a depth of 440 feet, and
while not getting a flowing we'll, a
fine supply Of excellent wafer was
obtained which has to be lifted up 10
feet. The we'll in this city will be
eight inches in diameter to a depth of
about 800 feet and six inches in dia-
meter the rest of the way. By sinking
it well into the sandstone rock it will
not be necessary to put a poiut in
the bottom of the well since the cas-
ing will be driven into the boring in
the stone. 1t is expected that the
work will commence. in 80 days

POWER OF AUTOMATIC RIFLE

A Swede nam ed Svensnn claims
to have invented a new automatic
rifle which may do away with
machine guns on the field of battle,
while the ordinary infantry soldier,
armed with this weapon, would
become more Formidable than he is
with his present equipment.
The new invention has not only
been applied to rifles, but to fowl
ing pieces and other weapons. As
regards rifles, Mr.. Svenson has
invented two kinds Of appliances,
one of which can be used as an
ordinary life and another as a
machine gun. Mr.. Svenson clsims
that his weapon can and will be
made to perform both functions
without its weight in any way be-
ing increased. 1t can be loaded
either at the breach or underneath
by inserting the cartridge
magazine. -..~
A company of infan ~ equipped
with the new rifle and forming a
front Of Is PAGES, can fire, il Is
said. 70 shots per second, or if
battery of machine guns, consist
ing of four pieces served by 16
men, with their officers, would oc-
cupy front of Is PAGES and fire
under the same conditions only 80
to 95 shots, respectively, in the
same space Of time.
In addition to this, machine guns
are difficult to transport, or to
place in position. or to hide from
the enemy. which is not the case
with the rife of the Svenson
type. s..
The new weapon is about the
same weight as the Mauser rife,
and has the same kind of barrel,
but its entire length is FIVE cent?
meters shorter. Another sdvan-
tage is its simplicity nf construc-
ton, possessing, as it does, only
seventeen movable parts, including
the spiral springs.
