NEW oVERTURES MADE
BY TELEPHONE COMPANY

Mitchell, S. d, May 24.--The Dakota
Central Telephone company has made
an effort to effect a compromise with
the city council concerning the differ
ences which exist on he telephone
franchise situation. The company de-
sires to submit the question of rates TO
the railroad commissioners. II that
does not suit the council, it will agree
to the appointment of an arbitration
board of three members, n TO be
named by the company, n by the city
company agrees to pay up all its n
~debtedness to the city and withdraw its
defense of the suits instigated by the
city. It declines, however, to accept the
clause in the newer franchise providing
for the purchase OF the plant by the
city, on the ground hat this would
be a cloud on the title of the plant and
affect it's financial transactions.
Mayor Hitchcock stated today that
he has gone over the proposition or
the telephone company thoroughly, and
does not believe that there is much in
It. This means that h proposed mu-
nicipal telephone proposition will be
made the target OF a fight. The special
election will be held June 10, and ex-
ternal indications are that the citizens
will stand by the council in its EFFORTS
to solve the telephone question.

when they dl1 pnscr fhe outer room they would find it a matter of extreme difficulty to get into the inner chamber so long as I was there. Unfortunately we had brought no powder or ball with us. We had no means of reloading our firearms. once they had been dis charged. resolved to reserve the four pistols we had for the last emergency. For other weapons l had my ax and sword. 10 say nothing of stones and eyep of the human skulls about the al- tar.
 I have said. l think. that the inner cave was slightly damp The damp ness arose from n spring of water which bubhled away in some dark cor ner which we had not cared to explore. We had what provisions we had brought with us left over from our luncheon. which l had luckily pre- served instead of throwing it away. and an amful of cOcoanuts and other fruit. These. however. would last us but a short while. If they couldn't come at us by force they could easily starVe us cut. Also they could. without too much trouble or danger. make themselves masters of the outer cave Indeed, l scarcely thought it would be wise for me to attempt to prevent that. q nd in that case they could wall up the q trance and leave us there.

We turned and ran down the path across the wall l had fOrethouEht to gather a number of cocoanuts and some other fruits as we passed filled my own pockets. and then she made a bag out of the skirt of her dress and carried the rest. Presently I reflected that we had no need for such haste. There would he plenty of time for us to reach the cave and conceal ourselves long before they landed. so we progressed more slowly It was almost dusk when we reached our shelter. I uprOOted a small tree just as we started to climb the pile of stones. which 1 used as lever to push down the heap in every direction as we climbed. so that it would be impossible for any one else to enter the cave without piling up the stones again We passed by the stone altar and its skeletons. crept into the inner room. flung ourselves pantiuS upon the sand. and there we waited.
 In that secret and secluded shelter I thought that we were safe for the time being Especially was I sure that they would make no effort to find Us at night. as the place had an cienUy been some sort of shrine And in the morning I did not think that they would chance upon that particular cave out of the many in the coral walls without a long search. unless they had proposel coming just there for other reasons than We gave them. Even if they did stumble upon our hiding place early in the hunt which l felt sure would be made for us as soon as they discovered evidences of our presence on the island in the shape of the dinghy. or at least at day break. it would take them some time to rebuild the rock wall again; and
