STORM DONE
SOME DAMAGE
PECULIAR ACTION OF WIND LAST
NIGHT CAUSES MUCH TALK
TODAY.-GENERAL RAIN.

The storm which hit this city last
night has caused considerable talk
on the streets today by its many pc
culiarities. The clouds We're very
black and We're of varying shapes and
sizes. There was a dash of rain
which fell in immense drops, but
lasted but a short time. The wind
was strong and blew quite warm un-
i'll late in the evening. While the
wind was at its highest, the sun could
be cen setting in q clear sky, and
two big rainbows, spanned the east.
At the same time n could almost
see the blue sky through the clouds,
they Wer so thin.
Many branches were blown firm
the about the city, however,
and the wind seemed to be stronger
in the eastern part OF the city. AT
the Fred Harms home, a large new
barn was moved six inches on its
foundation and the porch ON a resi-
dence neal was almost demolished.
Trees were badly shattered in the
east side park and at other places. ia
the III. NJ. Ostert farm 9 miles north
OF the city a large silo was blown
over by the wind.
Quite General.
The rain although a light one was
quite general. 1t extended as far as
Mellette and Aberdeen on the north
and considerable wind is reported
from both Wolsey and Woonsocket
To the south there was a good rain
as far as Parkston. On the east and
west line rain a reported from
Presho ON the west to Marion juno
ton on the east. 1t was heaviest
however in the vicinity of this city
At White Lake there was a heavy
wind and at Mt. Vernon several small
sheds aud outbuildings We're blown
over. Oacoma and Kimball received

THIRTY FINED
FOR SPEEDING
MANY PROMINENT CITIZENS OF
LEAD ARRESTED FOR DRlN-
ING THEIR CARS TOO FAST.

Lead, S. D.-That the officials of
Lead are determined to stop the
speeding of autos and motorcycles
through the city streets was demon
strated most effectively whom thirty
of the most prominent owner of
cars in the city were unexpectedly
arrested and brought into the muni-
cipal court charged with violating
the speed ordinance. For several
weeks past Mayor Howard and the
commissioners have been receiving
complaints of speeding and have
given frequent warning through the
newspapers. AS this did not have
the desired effect the mayor select
ed two lawns on upper Main street
where most of the speeding is done,
stationed two detectives, M at
each place, each equipped with a
%stopwatch and each hidden behind
trees. The detectives timed all pass
ing autos, took lists of names and
other memoranda and when the
proof was complete, warrants We're
sworn out and the arrests made.
The affair created a mild sensation
owing to the prominence of some OF
the car owners and the quiet way in
which the trap was laid. The evil
dence was sufficient and many car
owners declared that they were un-
aware that they had been going so
fast. Each was convicted and as
sessed a fine of SIS which was paid
in all except one case where the de-
PENDANT appealed TO a higher court
and asks a trial by jury.

sTUNG THOUSANDS OF
TIMES BY SWARM

Slatington, Pa.-When William
Coffin, of S%latington, attempted to
hive a swarm of bees that flew from
the apiary of William Kuhnsman,
they started to sting him.
Coffin fell part way down the tree,
breaking an arm, and hung suspend
&c fifty feet obove the ground, caught
in the fork of a branch. Fore more
than an hour, until arrangements
could be made for his rescue, he was
stung by thousands of the angry in
sects.
He is in the Palmerton Hospital,
his body swollen to double it's normal
size, and so badly poisoned by the
stings that his chances for recovery
are said to be slight.

FOURTH OF JULY
GREAT SUCCESS
PARADE IN THE MORNING. is ONE
OF MERIT AND OTHER EVENTS
PROVE WORTHY OH MEN
TiON.

The Glorious Fourth passed off
very successfully yesterday with a
surprisingly large vrowd in own and
with no serious accidents reported to
mar the pleasures of the day, 1t was
a quiet fourth and the booming of
giant crackers and heavy charges of
powder we're noticeably absent. The
big parade was pulled off at the
scheduled time in the morning and
headed by the Mitchell band it passed
the length of the pavement on Maln
street and return. Capt. M. l.. Shade
was marshall of the day. In the pa
rade We're many individual charact-
ers, the militia company, a portion
of the fire department and several
floats. Chief among the latter was
the automobile of The Newburys.
This car was changed into a complete
moving bower of flowers and grass
es and secured much applause from
those who lined the sidwalk. Next
in rank was the float of Walt Smith
and the Wardrabe. This was a large
float and on it was the entire force
of that concern busily engaged in
pressing and cleaning clothes while
the proprietor himself was busy ans
wering telephone calls.
Races at Park.
In the afternoon the crowd adj
.ljouTned to the EAST side driving Dark
and two motorcycle races and one
auto race We're run. The Pope motor
/ cycle, ridden by Markham won both
the motorcycle races and Gilbert III
his Ford won the auto race. There
were three entries in the first mot
orcycle race. Both of the two racers
outside of the Pope rider met with
bad luck however, and one of them
was thrown twice and the other once.
In the second rae but two machin-
es started, the Pope and an Excelsior.
The Pope went to the bad first and
then the Excelsior. The Pope won
the race and the Excelsior after some
repairs succeeded in finishing the
race for second money.
In the auto races but Gilbert in
his Ford and Blenkiron were entered.
The Ford won by a narrow margin
and got a purse of $50. Then follow
ed the baseball gone between Plan
kinton and Mitchell which was Won
by the former by the score of 5 to 1
The feature of the game was a catch
of a high fly by Young of the local
team, when three men were on bases
and when the ball had been driven
back among a crowd of teams ano
autos. The catch made the third out
and prevented the visitors from max
ing about three scores.
The run by the chemical wagor
and team of the fire department was
interesting and then the ~waterfigh'
on Main street proved the center o.
attraction. Following the races in the
afternoon, several excellent free Ill
fractions were given on Main street
and also again in the evening. The
events of the day were closed by {
band concert in the park and b.
dances at the Elks and X. G. halls
The Mitchell band certainly did itsel
proud yesterday and was on hant
for all events. Many were the favor
able words of comment it received

EQUAL
TO HAVE AN ORGAN

Pierre, S. DIT is rumored here
today that the recent purchase of
the Weekly Messenger in this city
by C. b. Billinghurst was made to
give the equal suffrage forces OF the
state an "organ" they could depend
upon at all times, and that the paper
will be operated as the official rep
r%esentative of the suffrage forces.
They, at their meeting at Huron de-
cided to raise a war chest" and it is
probable that a portion of the fund
so raised will be used to pay the
purchase price of the Messenger.

STATE DEPUTY WARDENS,
THEY REDOUBLE ACTIVE
TIES in THE HILLS.

Rapid City, S. D.-Dynamiting
trout along Rapid Greek is becom-
ing a vocation and in the absence
of a game warden the operations of
these violators OF the law are not
only bold but dangerous to people
travelling over the r. C. b. II. &
w. r. r.
Since July list, when the old
game laws became imperative and
pending the appointment OF game
wardens under the new law the dy-
namiters have redoubled their ac-
t~ivities and work both day and
night.
For the accommodation OF sum-
mer campers and cottagers along the
creek, Manager Cary of the Rapid
canyon scenic route has put a motor
in commission and makes an extra
trip daily for the accommodation of
people stopping at Pierre lodge and
Hisega. On the down trip Tuesday
morning, the motor had crossed one
of the 1877 bridges which spar the
creek, when a loud report attracted
the attention of the eight passen-
gers. Looking back the air in the
vicinity of the bridge was seen to
be filled with mud and spray n
charge OF dynamite or gunpoWder
had been exploded in the creek,
On the return trip dead fish We're
seen in the creek below where the
charge had been fired.

have found large numbers of trout
all along the creek which had been
killed by dynamite in the deep holes.
