NEARLY KILLED
when BOLT HITS
HOUSE STRUCK AND THREE &C.
CUPANTS OF BED NARROWLY
ESCAPE DEATH.

Edmore, N. D., Jun "a bolt of
lightning that might havep roved fatal,
struck the nome OF ~. J. LaVang
three miles north of here. The bolt
struck the bed in which Mr.. LaVang
and his two sons were sleeping.
The bolt was of such force as to
scatter everything in it's way, breaking
all the dishes in the house, also the
windows, the bed in which they were
sleeping being almost demolished, and
it was a wonder they were not killed.
The eldest boy, Ingvald, received the
most injuries and was burned about
the face and hands besides being rem
dered unconscious for about a half
hour.
The younger boy, Manvil, was also
hurt about the eye, but not seriously
though all were badly shaken up, and
felt the effect long after, but will come
out all right in a, short time. The
father put out the fire before any ma
terial damage was dom a. b..

INDIANS FLOCK To
FARM MEETINGS
SECOND THE EFFORTS or THE
WHITES TO IMPROVE FARM
ING METHODS.

Pierre, s. D., June 4.-The Indians
on the Cheyenne river reservation are
taking up agricultural extension work
as practiced among the whites Of the
northwest. Meetings for this purpose
were announced at four places on the
reservation, and when the lecturers
arrived they found enthusiastic audi
ences waiting them. The whites, who
were leading the movement were
warmly seconded by many of the most
progressive Indians, who talked to
their people in their own tongue. The
principal crops in which the Indians
are showing an interest are corn,
potatoes I'M alfalfa.
The enthusiasm was not confined to
the younger Indians alone, but many
of the elder men were in the front
ranks. The women were not backward
in the work, many Of them being as
anxious to learn as any of the men.
AT Thunder Butte station the most
enthusiastic agricultural worker found
by the committee was Mrs. Counting,
a full-blooded Sioux, who. with her
husband, is carrying on successful
farming operations. Both of them
urged agricultural extension work up
on their people. -. .
Among the enthusiasts found at diff
ferent stations were Iron Lightning,
White Horse, Paddy Miller and Peter
Three Legs. The different stations on
the reservation will strive to secure
the prize for the best exhibits at the
Indian fair to be held next fall, Last
fall the White Horse station won the
banner. ... .. .
Ed Swan son of White Swan, one
of the noted Sioux chiefs of the past,
is going further than the others by in
stalling an irrigation plant on his
allotment on Cherry creek. He will
pump water with a gasoline engine to
help out his crops this year in case
they should need additional moisture,
which does not appear to be likely at
present.

Chicago, June At was apparent
to wheat traders yesterday hat Lich-
stern is scalping the market on a large
scale, selling it on the bulges Satur-
day and Monday and taking it back on
the break yesterday. His sales were
sufficient to take the edge off the mar
ket. The outside public are not in the
market to any extent. There is a
good sized bull party but none of them
is large enough to be an influential
leader and the lack of the latter is
counting against the buying side.
Corn prices last night were the high
est of the season. Bulls are talking so
cents and most of the local trade are
long. The most important point no.
ticeable, in the market in Iast few days
as been the limited selling pressure
making it easy for the bulls to adj
vance prices. Cash sales were 10000
wheat; 4 $4,000 bushels corn and $780,
900 bushels oats. Seaboard reported
280,OO bushels wheat sold for export.
