offered to enter the ranks of the

tests of Ambassador Wilson regard
ing the attitude of the papers, the
Ell Pals devotes its entire front page
to the anti-American movement. The
articles are highly sensational.
In it's editorial columns the paper

swept the region northeast of town,
in the vicinity of what is known as
the old Beulah postoffice. Not many
farms were in the pathway of the
storm, but those that We're suffered
severely. The storm travelled from
the northwest to the southeast and
seemed to spend the greater part of
It's force on the farms of V. V. Davis
and N. j. Larsen, who were almost
completed hailed out. The hail ston-
es were of such size and came so
thickly that crops on the two farms
We're cut to pieces and pounded into
the ground. Their losses will be
heavy. 1t is not known whether or
not either had hail insurance. Other
farms in that vicinity were swept by
the storm, but the losses were slight
compared with those sustained by
Davis and Larsen. Rumors are in cir
culation here of damage done by an
other hail storm in the southern
part of Aurora county.

Commence commission, are not to
go into effect this month after all.
The roads have secured a %rehearing

on complaint of the railway commits
sion of this state, the commission
will be represented at the hearing

meant about a dollar and a half a ton
reduction on shipments to Chamber

SMALL r ABOUT
HURON NOW ASSURED

Huron S. D.-Small grain in this
section is now said to be assured
plenty of water to carry it over in
good shape to harvest. A heavy rain,
measuring 1.51 inches. fell here on
Thursday evening, and throughout
the state generally. From Rapid City
to Tracy, Mimi, and from Ookes, N.
d.. to Yankton and Hawarden, the
Northwestern reports a heavy fall.
Small grain is practically made
safe by this rain, and the corn. al

siderab.y more rain in the country
at several points nea here and at
Iroquois east. At Aberdeen the pre-
cipitation was .52 inch. and it grew
heavier coming south.

Huerta's Warning.
President Huerta has great confid-
ence in the ability of his new cabinet
to aid him in his work OF pacifica-
ton, but he expects them to devote
their attention to the work of their
respective departments and not let
their covetous eyes dwell upon his
seat. This he made quite clear to
them at the first formal gathering of
the new administrators. To them
Huerta said, after the usual felicita-
tons, that he expected each minister
to be supreme in his own post, so far
as possible, and that they would eX-
perience little interference from him.
But on the other hand, he warned
them to 'tcuidarse con la pintura," a
legend often seen on new edifices in
Mexico. meaning watch out for
paint" TO his puzzled ministers, who
asked him to explain, the president
said, pating the back of the chair he
occupies at his cabinet
meetings: Il mean that this old chair
suits me very we'll, and for the pre-
sent you should not try to improve it.
Pay strict attention to the duties of
your offices, and l shall manage to

A Fight for His Life.
"Valerito", a Spanish bull fighter,

will doubtless long impress him as

"Nalerito", who was christened
Manuel Nalero, was overtaken on the

six fighting bulls intended for the
ring there, by a group of Carran-
zas' soldiers. Taking advantage of
the circumstances the revolutionists
promised the fighter his life and lib

A ring was constructed on the spot.

In spite of his heroic efforts his
captors subjected the bull fighter to
the greatest indignity possible to
his kind, the amputation of his
queue, before releasing him.

TO PROTEST
TO COUNTY BOARD
COUNCIL WILL APPEAR BEFORE
BOARD WITH SOME SUCCESS
TlONS AS TO VALUATIONS
OF PROPERTY.

Members of the city council this
afternoon appeared before the county
commissioners, sitting as a board OF
equalization with the suggestion that
the city is nearer assessed the actual
value of its real estate than is the
county. 1t is claimed that much OF
the real estate of the city is assess
ed at its full value or the price it
will bring on the market while in
parts of the county the valuations
are only set at about so per cent of
the market values. The council will
ask that the board reduce the assess
ed valuations in the city in order thai
the assessments in the city and
county shall be more nearly equal.

Mexico City. Mexico.-With the
gradual spreading of revolutionary
activity in parts of the republic hith-
erto more or less unaffected, tales of
atrocities and indignities to foreign
ers filter into the capital in increas-
ing number. Early in July these had
become so common, by reason of
their frequency, that whereas a year
ago they would have caused great in
dignation and possibly prompt repre-
sensations by foreign governments.
ii is doubtful if they receive more
than inclusion in a possibly general
claim for damages, in due time, upon
the Mexican government.

ers on a train proceeding narthward

Huron Man.
FORGERY CHARGE
BY Richards Moves Demo-
cratic Chairman and Rich
ards Makes Statement,

Pierre, S. D.-As a rejoinder to
signatures OF his petition for a new
primary law to be voted upon under
the initiative and referendum sys-
TEN, Chairman Coffey of the demo-
crotic state central committee, is in
~yeStigating various petitions filed by
Richards for a number of laws in the
past eight years. 1t is understood he
expects to put himself in position to
counter on the chargemade by Rich
ards, and to this ell d IS taking photo
graphs of some of the signatures.
This has brought out the following
press statement from Richards at
Huron:
Richards Retort.
News ONE from Pierre that Mr..
James Coffey. the late democratic
state chairman, has caused photo
graphs to be taken of the old initia-
tive primary petition filed by Mr.. R.
o. Richards.
The report says that he intends
to see the persons who signed same
and try to get a~ffidavits %repudiating
their signatures, so as to get back at
Mr.. Richards for making public the
irregularities of the Coffey primary
petition. If the report is correct, Mr..
Coffey's action certainly indicates an
admission on his part of the i%rregul-
arities charged against his initiative
primary petition.
"The first initiative petition filed
in South Dakota was deposited by Mr..
Richards for a primary law over eight
years 6 and contained over three
thousand more signatures than the
constitutional requirement. This
would indicate no motive for resort
ing to Implications of names, forger-
les and fraudulently transferring
part of another petition. The two last
initiative petitions filed by Mr.. Rich
ards are said to likewise contain a
surplusage of signatures of over g.
900 to each petition, while Mr.. COT
fey's original petition filed is said to
contain only a surplus of 15S, which
includes Implications, f%orgeries and
part of the bank deposit guarantee
petition.
As to Motives.
1T is alleged that if Mr.. Coffey
does things just because Mr.. Rich
ards does. inquiry may be properly
made as to the motives of each. What
prompted Mr.. Richards to file the
first primary law petition owe eight
years ago, and again three years ago,
and what prompted him to investigate
Mr.. Coffey's petition? What prompted
Mr.. Coffey to file a primary law pet
ition and to investigate Mr.. Richards
petitions?
"The motive is apparent! The Rich
ards primary law seeks to eliminate
the spoiles system. The Coffey pri-
mary bill seeks to perpetuate the
spoiles system as part of the political
system of our state. Mr.. Richards de-
clined appointive office while Mr..
Coffey seeks appointive office under
the spoiles system, having endorsed
himself"
