of three cars which carried the %
waiting veterans as far as Sioux City
where three more sleepers loaded
with old soldiers were picked up. At
Chicago the train was made over into
a solid sleeper and dining car train.
The old soldiers took the matter very
good naturally and joked and laugh
ed about their misfortune in being
delayed in making Il start. The Mil
waukee had planned on running the
same special train to Gettysburg,
which was used by the Aberdeen Elks
last week and which was OF solid
steel construction and was about as
fine a train as can be made up. The
wreck upset all these plans and will
delay the veterans in reaching Get

GAS
IN CHAS. MIX
PRESSURE OF % POUNDS RE-
CORDED in WELL SUNK 400
FEET NEAR WAGNER

Wagner, S. D.-EXcitemcnt has
been caused by the striking of nat
ural gas in an artesian we'll drilled
on the farm occupied by George Mar
tin southwest of Wagner. The farm is
owned by j. Wagner. When the ar
tesian we'll drillers had reached a
depth of 400 feet water which
accumulated in the casing suddenly
disappeared. The drillers quickly dis
covered that they had struck natural
gas, which soon emerged from the
top of the we'll casing. The gas burns
brightly and has a pressure of about
25 pounds. Experts nave bee sent
for to determine whether or not there
is a great body of natural gas under
lying this part of the state. The oc-
cupants of the farm where natural
gas was struck are planning on heat
ing and lighting the buildings on the
farm with the gas. While gas has
been struck in the north-centra1 part
of the state at different times during
the past few years. this is the first
time it has been encountered in
Charles Mix County or elsewhere in
the extreme southern part Of the
f state.
