JUNE RISE COMING

Pierre, S. d., June 1T is gen
orally conceded that a year which
brings high water in the Missouri
river is one which assures a plen.
tiful supply Of moisture for crop
raising in the Missouri valley
Last year, neither the rise at
the going out of the ice, nor in
June was worthy Of notice.
But this spring the water crow'
ed near the top of the banks, an
even at this stage of the "June
rise" it has gone up to the nine
foot mark, and has just begun
to rise. If the old time indica-
tions hold good, the crops should
be of the best in this part of the
staate for this year.

Monday afternoon about one
o'clock w. s. Bell, an old soldier
living On Plum creek, passed a
way very suddenly. Mr.. Bell
had proved up on a claim last fa
and spent the winter in his old
home in Illinois. He had been
back here but a few weeks, and
seemed to be in usual health and
spirits at this time. Geo. Bell,
his son, tells us that they were
preparing to haul water. His
father stopped over a tub to
rinse it out and fell over and
before the rest reached him he
was dead. The body was shipped
to Moline, ILL.,, accompanied by
Mrs. w. S. Bell and her sister
and Geo. Bell, his son, and were
met there by his other children a
and relatives.-Van Metre Mes

A LIVE WIRE
Laborer Seriously Injured by FL.
ectric Current While Trimming
Trees at Sioux Falls

Sioux Falls, S. d., June 1-Wit
his body paralyzed below the hips
and suffering from other injuries
Lewis Bell, laborer, is in a
very serious condition at his
home because of the shock which
he sustained when he came in
contact with a live electric wire
yesterday morning, while at
work on West Ninth street.
Lewis was trimming some trees
when the implement with which
he was working came in contact
with the live electric wire, from
which the Insulation had been
worn by the rubbing of the branc
rs.
The strong current estimated at
23OO volts shot through his body
and made him helpless. He was
suspended in the air for about
three minutes until the power
plant was called up and shut off
the currant. When the currant
was shut off he fell to the ground
alighting on his face. He was
unconscious for a time but re-
gained consciousness before he
was removed to his home where
several physicians attended him.

AMENDED ISOLATED TRACT
LAW

An amended law relating to tn
sale of isolated tracts has passed
both houses Of congress and been
signed by the president. The i'm.
portant change in the law ID
found in the following provision !:
THAT any legal subdivisions o.
the public land, not exceeding
one quarter section, the greater
part of which is mountainous or
too rough for cultivation, may, in
che discretion of said Commission
er, be ordered into the market
and sold pursuant to this act
upon the application of any per-
son who owns land or holds q
valid entry Of lands adjoining
such tract, regardless Of the
fact that such tract may not be
isolated or disconnected within
the meaning Of this act
This will give q chance for
people living along the brakes of
the rivers and streams to buy
16O acres Of the rough land ad-
joining them, even if the same
is not isolated. This is an impor-
tant matter and will be taken
advantage of by many aaof the
farmers.
/. It is also another piece Of legia
lation which shows that South
Dakota's delegation in congress
is looking after the interests of
the settlers.
