TRAIN WRECK CAUSED
BY CHILDREN AT PLAY

Volga. S. D.. April 25-The mystery
of the wreck on the Chicago & North
western railroad recently was cleared
up through the efforts of Claim Agent
Winter. He found clew that led to
the home of A. Santema, farmer re-
siding a couple of miles from where the
wreck took place. Learning that the
three Santema children had been play
ing along the railroad track before the
train was wrecked Winter questioned
them, and a 6-year- old boy admitted
that he had placed large nut on the
track. which caused the derailment OF
the train. The other two children were
a boy and girl, aged and 10 years.
respectively. The children found the
nuts and other pieces of iron along the
right of way, and as the nuts We're too
large to play with they placed them on
the track without realizing the danger
of their act

GUNS ARE FORFEITED
TO OFFENDED FARMER

se Howard, S. D., April 25.-W f. Ka-'
vaney, farmer living some miles from
town. has possession of two valuable
shotguns-and the interesting feature
of the matter is chat the owners do not
dare to call upon him for the surrender
of the weapons. The owners of the
weapons, who are supposed to be hunt
ers. took Kavaneys new buggy without
his knowledge and after driving IL
through mud on a hunting expedition,
left it outside Kavaney's barn at night.
When he saw the buggy and noticed
how mudbespattered it was, Kavaney
was pretty mad. but when he found
the weapons in the buggy, where the
hunters evidently had overlooked them
in the effort to be as quiet as possible
in returning the buggy. he came to the
conclusion that he was ahead of the
game after all. And in the meantime
two men are out valuable weapons and
do not dare to claim them, as to do SO
would reveal their identity

ing between the United States and
Canada were dwelt upon in addresses
by Premier Robert L. Borden. Of Can.
ada, and Governor Sulzer, 1t the an
nual dinner Of the University Club Of
Albany.
Canada and the United States
said Premier Borden. have common
heritage in the language, the litera.
ture, the laws, the institutions and the
traditions which have come down to
them from the men Of bygone days.
Perhaps no more instructive object
lesson ever has been given to the
world than the four thousand miles Of
undefended boundary line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, which bears
silent but eloquent testimony to the
mutual confidence and respect of the
two nations. Time will shortly place
upon the brow Of each nation the lau-
rel OF one hundred years Of peace. It
matters not SO much as to the form
OF the outward celebration, but let us
hope that Its full significance may
sink deep into the hearts of both ma
lions, and that, whether north or south
OF the boundary, we may stand with
bowed and reverent heads. offering
grateful thanks for the Divine blessing
OF peace, and earnest prayers that in
the century to come, mutual confidence
goodwill and respect may truly anil
mate the ideals and aspirations Of both
nations"
Referring to the natural resources
possessed by the United States and
Canada, particularly along the st.
Lawrence River, the premier urged
that they be preserved and developed
for the people"
Governor Sulzer predicted that the
Great Canadian Northwest is designed
to become, before long, the granary Of
North America"
Many of our best citizens, regret
to say" said the governor, ARE leav-
Ing the States of the west and going

of the fertility of it's soil, the lib.

by tariff barriers against these coun-
tries and their products, in my opinion,
we should open them wider and do

HIT WITH BALL BAT;
GETS HEAVY DAMAGES

Sioux Falls. S. D., April 25.-Afier
pending in the state and federal courts
for nearly three years, the case of Gus
Siebke against the McCook County
Fair association has just been termin-
ated by the payment to Siebke of dam
ages amounting to $4,375. on judg-
ment granted by the United States
court in Sioux Falls. The payment of
the judgment ends remarkable case
for personal damages. While attending
the McCook county fair at Salem in
1910. Siebke was struck on the head by
a baseball bat, which slipped from the
hands of batter, and seriously in
jured. He instituted suit by which
he sought to recover damages in the
sum Of $4,000. on the ground that
proper protection to spectators in the
grandstand had not been provided by
the fair association because there was
no wire screen in front of the seats.
The case originally was tried in the
circuit court of McCook county, where
jury decided in favor Of the defend
ant fair association Afterward Siebke
removed to Iowa, and later instituted a
4 damage suit in the United States court
in this city, where he was granted the

HEALEY CASE GOES OVER
Trial of Policemen Postponed
Because of Youths S Illness.

Thomas II. Healey, ST, whose COM
plant to Mayor Gaynor that his son
Thomas was a victim of police persecu-
ton resulted in charges being brought
against Lieutenant James y. Sennett and
Patrolman Dominlck J. Roane, appeared
before Deputy Commissioner Harry w.
Newberger yesterday. with about twenty
witnesses by whom he hoped TO prove
that his son had been beaten by Roane
on May when he was arrested for dis
orderly conduct The two policemen also
had a host of witnesses TO prove the con-
trary, but the trial had to be postponed
on account Of the illness OF young Healey,
who is now on Blackwells Island. His
friends say he is suffering from the rough
handling I'm his captor's hands.
While the attorneys for sennett and
Roane made light OF the charges, it was
thought at Headquarters they would have
difficulty in overcoming the testimony
that Healey's father has dug uD. Hea-
ley's iather admits his son has been ar
rested many times, but he insists none
was for a serious offence. lie said the
contention Of the police that he was "a
cop fighter" was not based on fact; that
while his son had been mixed up In boyish
escapades. he was not a gangster In any
sense. and that all the charges were
framed up"
