HOTEL MEN TO
MAKE TEST CASE
WILL TRY OUT VALIDITY OF
CLAIMS ON BAGGAGE OF DE.
LINQUENT EMPLOYEES.

Claiming that they lose thousands
of dollars annually on employees who
leave before they have worked out
their transportation, j. H. Davidson,
manager of the Widmann hotel, will
have the support of the Northwest
Hotel Mems association in the suit
to be tried against him in municipal
court by Amelia Seal, a girl formerly
in his employ.
Miss Seal has brought suit against
Mr.. Davidson for retaining her trunk
and refusing to allow her to take pos
session of it. In defense, MI. Davidson
has claimed that he was vitctimized
by the woman as he had paid an EN-
ployment agency $9.07 for her trans
%portation from st. Paul and then saw
her quit after working for two DAYS.
According to Mr.. Davidson, the
hotel managers all over the country
undergo the experience of employing
help, paying their transportation
from another city, and then having
them quit before the travelling ex-
penses have been worked out. In the
case now pending, Miss Seal is alleg-
ed to have surrendered her baggage
checks to the employment agency at
st. Paul when she received her ticket
to Mitchell.
+ Assurances have been received by
Mr.. Davidson that the hotel men of
the association will stand back OF him
in the fight.

SOUTHERN
S. D. DRENCHED
HEAVY RAINFALL LAST EVEN.
ING APPROACHING CLOUD
81 BURST PROPORTIONS.

\ One of the heaviest r~ainfalls of
the year occurred lasttevening tinnthe
southern ana eastern PORTIONS of
South Dakota, according to the report
received in Mitchell this morning. 1t
is estimated that between three and
four inches fell in that section.
The drenching seemed to be the
heaviest in the vicinity of Running
Water. The Milwaukee tracks near
Running Water were covered with
water by the rain. The sudden rise in
the Missouri river on the bottoms, oc-
casioned by the cloudburst, threw
considerable sand over the tracks and
no trains anne east over the Run
ming Water division this morning.
Charles Derr, who is at the Derr-
Morris ranch near Running Water,
telephoned to the city this morning
the heavy rain or cloudburst occurred
about $3.50 o'clock and that four in
ches of rain fell.
The railroad guage at Tyndall re-
ported a fall of one inch, with a pre-
cipitation of 3h inches at Marion
Junction. The rainfall did not extend
any distance north of Mitchell. Its
western boundary was apparently at
Mt. Vernon, where a light rain was
reported.
In Mitchell the rain started with a
shower at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Later the sun came and no more rain
fell until evening. The rainfall during
the night totalled IL of an inch.

Thomas Smart, the thirteen-year-old
son of Thomas e. Smart, proprietor
of a hotel at First street and Third

operate. The first appendix was found
in the normal place while the second
branched off and was located in a
blind pouch. Each appendix was
about four inches long.
DR.. Biffar said last night that the
boy has excellent chances to recover
and added:
This is the first case of the kind
that has ever come to MI attention
in a human being, thoughsit is not
rare among the lower animals for two

Conference with Roosevelt.
Particular interest was aroused by
Mr.. Mellen's account of his conference
with the then President, Colonel
Roosevelt, respecting the acquisition
of the Boston and Maine. He explain
ed he was a great admirer of Colonel
Roosevelt and had frequently confer
red with him over important ques-
tons.
Colonel Roosevelt said to him at
that conference, according to the tes-
.timony, that he was lot a lawyer and
was not prepared to advise what he
do about the proposed pur-
chase, but or Mr.. Mellen's statement
of the situation he thought there
might be nothing Objectionable in it.
Mr.. Mellen added that the President
said he could ~countenance no illegal
action in the matter and suggested
that he confer with Commissioner
Lane of the interstate commerce COM
mission. From Mr.. Lane, he said, he
got no expression of opinion.
Nh. Mellen told of his relations
with John l.. Billiard and of the tran
sactions between the New Haven and
the Billiard company. He intimated,
with a smile, that Mr.. Billiard was a
shrewd trader, saying that when he
was conducting with him any bust
