MADE AGAINST five
ABERDEEN FIREMEN

set fire to building belonging to the
city, adjoining the city fire hall, on
June "a. William Buck. one OF the &C
cused men, has confessed. The men
arrested are Buck, John Prouse, and
Ed Hardy, substitute firemen, Archie
Morrison. a regular fireman, and FLOYD
Richardson, former member OF the
department.
On the night of June "a fire broke
out in the building, which was mere
shack. When the blaze was discovered
the interior was mass of flames and
1t burned to the ground, causing loss
Of about 500. The theory of the fire
department at the time was that some
tramp had entered the building TO stay
all night and accidentally set fire to
the structure.
Deputy State Fire Marshal S. f..
Grams came to Aberdeen to investigate
the affair, and as a result of his probe.
the arrests were made. All denied their
guilt. but when confronted with de-
tailed story of every action of the night
of June "a, Buck weakened and told
all. The men are charged with arson

In Sioux City the increase on as

COMMISSION SYSTEM
FOR STATE UNIVERSITY

Mitchell, S. d.. Aug. 6.--With the
probability that it will be some time
before new president of the State
university, at Vermilion, is secured, the
board Of regents has decided to in
augurate new system for the control
and government OF the, institution
through the commission plan. Owing
to the fact that the appointment of
any one member of the college faculty
to temporary position as president
would lead to much friction, the board
of regents decided upon the commits
sion plan and named the five deans,
comprising the dean Of the college of
arts and sciences dean of engineering,
dean of music. dean Of the law depart
ment and dean of the college OF medt-
cine. These five men are to act as a
body meeting regularly each day and
acting upon all executive and admin
istrativc affairs of the institution,
which in the organization of the uni-
versity are now within the jurisdic-
ton of the president.
