TRAGEDY IN HILLS
RAILWAY BRAKEMAN Is SHOT
DOWN AT NEWELL, s. ID.

Deadwood, May 29.-While Don
Williams of this city, a brakeman on
the Northwestern passenger train be-
tween here and Newell, was standing
on the Newell depot platform this af-
ternoon a stranger armed with a rifle
walked up and shot him dead with
out a word. The assailant, whose
name is Ted Warner and is believed
to come from Minnesota, al to an
clubhouse and blew the top of his own
head off with the same gun.
Williams, who was single and 26
years old, was highly respected, and
no cause for the deed is known. War
ner had just come to Newell and is
believed to have been insane.
Williams mother is visiting her
daughter at Albion, Neb. He also
has a brother, Guy, a local engineer
for the Northwestern.
Jealousy yer a girl from Benton,
Mimi, Elsie Johnson, prompted War
ner to kill Williams, it was declared.
Warner came from Benton and two
days ago wrote Miss Johnson that he
would kill her, Williams and another
man because she rejected his atten-
tons. Warner was 26 years old.

BULL MOOSE
NO DOUBT OF FULL TICKET IN
SOUTH DAKOTA.

Washington, May 29.--Chairman
Hinebaugh, of the bull moose nation
al campaign committee, said there
was no doubt in his mind that the
progressive party would have a COM
plete ticket in the field in the South
Dakota election this fall.
Il am certain there will be a candi-
date for the senate and candidates
for representative in each of the
three congressional districts of the
state" said Mr.. Hinebaugh. II as
sumo the progressives also will nom
mate candidates for governor and
other state offices. We want a com
plete ticket in the field"
All of these candidates will be
nominated, Mr.. Minebaugh thought,
at a state convention to be held
June 9 at Huron. The return of Col.
Roosevelt has put new life into the
progressives of South Dakota, a state
where the colonel always was strong,
Mr.. Hinebaugh said. This revivi1ca-
tion of South Dakota bull moosers is
made manifest, the national chair
man continued, in many letters which
he has received. and in kilograms and
letters TO Col. Roosevelt.
The political situation in Iowa, as
well as in South Dakota and other
states, was gone owe at last nights
conference of progressive leaders in
congress with Col. Roosevelt, and
there is no doubt the colonel will
speak next fall for the bull moose
tickets in Iowa and South Dakota.
G. Il. Prentis, secretary of the Lee
a Prentis company, of Vermillion,
and M. j. CLANCY, a former member
of the South Dakota house of repre-
sentatives from Clay county and
speaker of the house, were at the
treasury department today on bust
ness connected with the selection of
the postofice site at vermillion. An
agent of the department recently
went to Vermillion and looked over
the several sites which are offered.
Mr.. Prentis and Mr.. CLANCY were
guests of Representative Dillon at
dinner last evening, after which,
through the courtesy of Senator Ster-
ling, they heard Col. Roosevelt make
his address at Convention hall.

BARE ANKLES
And a Few Other Novelties In Paris
Fashions.

Paris, May 29.-Brevity remains
the very essence of this summers
fashions. To it may be added the at
tribute of translucency. for x-ray
skirts have made their appearance at
the L~ongchamps race course. They
carry last years innovation several
steps further away from Mrs. Grun-
dy's standard of modesty, inasmuch
as tho skirts are shorter, revealing
ankles devoid of stockings. The fact
is that stockingless fashion, original
ed by the Coincide Franchise actress.
Mile. Provost, which, at the begin
ming reused a storm of protest, now
has captured the smart Parisiennes,
who ventured into public without
stockings for the first time at Long
champs Saturday.
The x-ray gowns also differ from
last years in their material. They
are made now of the finest possible
silk, covered with net spun fine as a
SPIDERS web band, edged with lace.
The whole, falling in graceful

hounces, gives an ethereal appear
ance to the wearer.
With these skirts are worn trans
parent bodices which reveal the
arms and shoulders, indeed the whole
back down to the waist.
Another model, which has sudden
ly sprung into favor is the princess
bodice, which has necessitated the
creation of a willowy new figure. This
is obtained by discarding corsets and
wearing instead tight rubber fronts
which descend as far as the knees.
All underclothing is dispensed with
and with the skin-tight princess
bodice and the skirt opening widely
at the hem, the slim, supple figure is
now the rage
The craze for taffeta has not di-
minished, but the material is now
much heavier and resembles faille.
A striking color novelty vas intro
|duced in the latest gowns. The color
at the top of the dress is dark and is
gently shaded downward until it be-
comes very light at the bottom of the
gown. This style bears the names of
flowers, some being made to resemble
the lily and others the rose, but the
most effective represented the pansy.
An original failure in jewels is the
wearing of thin rings with a pearl,
ruby or emerald attached by a chain,
which, dropping Imply from the ring,
swings with every movement of the
band.

FREAK WELL
Tabor Citizens Puzzled Over a Farm
er's Well.

Tabor, May 29.-On the farm of
John Witek, north of Tabor, has been
discovered a freak well, which sucks
air instead of emitting an outward
pressure. 1t Is a tubular well and
was drilled last fall. From the first
the well had a great deal of water in
it, but recently the water entirely
disappeared, and now, when a hand
Is placed owe the opening at the top
of the piping a strong suction of air
is felt. The freak well is $50 feet
deep and when first drilled contained
so feet of wate-. What has become
CT the water is a question which is
puzzling the average laymen as well
as many expert biologists. What
causes the suction also is a complete
mystery.
