case. strapped to the deck with means
of releasing on the inside so that ev-

was fitted with air tight doors and
was to have air tanks to supply air
for those inside and to provide buoy

model burned in the Hooker mill fire,
was small at the bottom so that it
would sit right on the water and had
pipes upwards to be used when ai1oat
Had such an arrangement, or several

all lives would have been saved. The

Pierre, S. D., March 12.-The execution

DRY to White River appears to have
been stayed for the time being upon

tension, including the people of Greg
DRY and Winner were much angered
at the action of the general land office
in transferring h filing point to White
River, to which Murdo, on the Milwau-
kee, is the nearest railway point. thus
causing them TO lose the large vol
ume of trade which the landseekers
you'd bring.
Last fan on the occasion of President
Iafts visit to South Dakota. a good
sized party of Rosebud boosters drove
through the 100 miles of sleet and mud
to Pierre, wearing rosebuds and white
hats to greet the president. They called
out to the porch of Congressman
Burke's home where he addressed
them, n he again mentioned their
long journey in his final speech the
