PASSENGERS WILLING TO GIVE
UP BERTHS TO VETERANS

Mitchell, S. D., July 1.-The Mil
u railroad had some bad luck
with the special train for conveying
the South Dakota veterans to Gettys-
burg, Pa, which was scheduled to
leave here Saturday night, where about
100 old soldiers congregated to take the
special. Two miles south of Alpena
a broken flange IN the engine broke
a rail and derailed the dynamo car, a
coach and three heavy steel ~sleepers.
1t was expected that the cars would
be placed,on the track and reach Nit
chell about 6 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. The task proved too much, how
ever, and the derailed cars were not
brought here until Sunday noon. In
an emergency movement the officials
here made up a train of four sleepers,
and sent the old soldier delegation out
of here Sunday morning. The sleeper
equipment was taken off the train
from the south, and II from the west,
and the sleeper that runs east. The
passengers occupying the sleepers were
told of the situation, and there was no
Iesitancy about giving up their ac-
commodations TO the soldiers. An al
steel train was started out of Chicago
to meet the delegation at Manila, Ia,
and the veterans will be taken through,
as per schedule.

RADICAL CHANGE In
GAME WARDEN LAW
is effective JULY |
salaried Field Officials Will
Prevent Further Surplus In
This Department.

Pierre, s. d, June 9O.-The official
terms of all county game wardens in
South Dakota will expire July 1 and
the work will hereafter be in charge
of the game warden and about 10
assistants, all legally equipped to draw
enough salaries from the game fund
to prevent further annoying accumu-
lations in that department. The adop-
ton of the new game law was one of
the live topics in the last legislative
session and the bill was revived and
passed after having once been de-
feated.
Under the former operations Of the
fish and game department q surplus
had accumulated of about $4,000 and
those Immediately connected with the
service successfully fought against
having this money transferred to the
general fund OF the state treasury,
where 1t has been urged that all state
fees should be applied.
There are liberal provisions for per
diem and salary allowances to the field
force provided in the new law and it
is generally assumed that the admin
istration of the department in future
will easily consume all Of the one
received in fees.

EXCITEMENT CAUSED
BY GAS PROSPECT IN

Fine Flow That Burns Brightly
Struck in Drilling Well
Near Wagner.

Wagner, s. D.. July Excitement
has been caused by the striking of
natural gas in an artesian well drilled
on the farm occupied by George Martin,
southwest OF Wagner. The farm is
owned by j. Wagner.
When the artesian well drillers had
reached a depth of 400 feet the water
which had accumulated in the casing
suddenly disappeared. The drillers
quickly discovered that they had struck
natural gas, which soon emerged from
the top of the well casing. The gas
burns brightly and a a pressure of
about 25 pounds.
Experts have been sent for to deter
mine whether or not there is q great
body of natural gas underlying this
party of the state. The occupants of
the farm where natural gas was strucS,
are planning on heating and ligh<sng
the buildings on the farm with the gas.
While gas has been struck in the
north central part of the state at diff
ferent times during the past few years,
his is the first time it has been en-
countered in Charles Mix county or
elsewhere in the southern part of the
state.
