dents and the people of town.

Chamberlain, S. D.-Capt. Abner
Ayres has just returned from Sioux
City, where he has his river packet,
-. w. Sanford" in the employ of
the government in revetment work.
This is the second year for. the boat
III this same line of work.
One Of the first pieces of work this
boat did this season was to pilot a
government fleet of -barges from
Council Bluffs. Ia, to st. Joseph,
Mo. Capt. Ayres has two fine pack
cts in the river work, with headquar-
tiers at Chamberlain. One of these
boats, the South Dakota" was built
this season. This boat is II feet in
length, with an 1S-foot beam and an
1S-inch draught.
According to the captain, in his
one years work in the vicinity of
Sioux City he has seen thousands of
acres of the best land in the state

that in a very few years the govern
ment will legislate for a necessary
protection to property owners and

FREAKS
OF LIGHTNING
ONE FATALITY RESULTS FROM
SHOCK OF JUICE.-HORSE
MADE DEAF.

Pierre, S. D.-Reports from the
northwest part of the state indicate
a number of freaks of lightning in q
recent storm in that section, result
ing in one fatality and loss of stock.
Robert Jewett, who vas riding horse
back near Isabel, was killed by a
bolt which struck him on the temple
and passing through his body, killed
the horse he was riding. His under
yea was burned to a crisp by the
stroke.
Dave Sims was driving a team
hitched to a wagon. He slid off the
high seat and was reaching for the
whip. when a flash of lightning over
his yhoulder killed II of the horses
anddknocked the other down. Think
ing them both dead he made his way
h6nf aafoot, but on his return the
q G&9.mprning found one of the horses
n Hg0t except that it is deaf from
1he tesSA4s of the stroke.
"a. Nv. Rurleigh, who lived in a
snalf, log cabin not far from Bison,
Was reused from sleep by a bolt
which struck the roof of the building
and tore things up generally in the
lcatfp, and made a dash for the door
|aHndpnt into the rain in the garb OF
Adah before the fall, and started for
anywhere except that spot at his best
gait. After a run of a mile in the
rain he recovered from his fright and
returned to the shanty and put out a
small blaze tstarted by the lightning
and returned to bed.
