HOPE

In the heart Of the bare, brown forest,
On'a chill November night,
They prepared a meager supper
And ate in the bright tirelight.
While the coyotes howled in concert,
Sharps and flats OF all the notes,
Till the woods were filled with voices
From their noisy, savage threats.
And Indians lurked in the shadows
Or prowled around the camp
Where the boys were sleeping peacefully
After their long days tramp.
The cold wind moaned in the branches
OF the tree tops overhead
And the stars looked distant and frosty
As they shone on the soft leaf bed.
rs fun to camp in the jungles
With kitchen and parlor combined,
But it isn't 1t all the incest
That it's possible to find.
Let MS hope that the future will find us
In civilizations land,
Where hosts of friends surround us,
And food is At our command.

ford when Mr. Crawford was govern
or of South Dakota, and then clerk
to the senate committee on claims

1928 Church street, in this city. The
coroner took charge OF the case.
1t was said at the office of Senator
Sterling that 1t could not be told
whether death was the result of nat
ural causes. There was some gas In
the bathroom and the door was lock-
ed. The body was in the bath tub,
which contained very little water, not
enough to cause drowning. 1t could
not be told whether Mr.. Erickson
went into the bathroom early this
morning or late last night. The
body was found at z o'clock.
An autopsy showed death had re-
suited from gas poisoning. No in
quest will be held. The coroner re-
turned a finding of accidental as
phyxiation from Illuminating gas"
Friends of Mr.. Erickson say he
had been respondent lately.
The body will be held until word
can be received from the widow, who

CANNOT CROSS LOTS
Decision Against Railroad Company
l. Handed Down.

Pierre, Aug, 6.-That a railway
company cannot cut cross LOTS in
measuring the distance between sta
tions, where the issue is distance in
which they may decline to put in a
sidetrack, is the holding of Judge
Bouck Of Brown county, in a case-ap-
pealed by the Milwaukee road from
an order of the railway commission,
for a sidetrack between Yankton and
Tabor. Under the law, roads cannot
be compelled TO put in new sidetracks
between stations which are not more
than twelve miles apart. In this case
the distance between Yankton and
Tabor is a little over sixteen miles.
But the location at which a sidetrack
was asked was less than twelve miles
from Utica, a station on another
branch of the road, when measured
across country, but owe fourteen
miles when measured on the tracks
Of the company, and the court holds
that measurement must be along the
track.

SEASONS FOOTBALL
1. j. COPYRIGHT OF MICHIGAN TO
BECOME ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
AT UNIVERSITY.

Nermillion, Aug. 6.-I. j. Cort-
right, who has been assistant coach
'of athletics for the past two years at
the Michigan Agricultural college,
East Lansing, has been secured as
director Of athletics at the University
of South Dakota for the coming year.
Mr.. Cortright was graduated from
NJ. A. G. in 1911 and was called back
as assistant coach of the four major
college sports in 1912. He has Just
completed two years in that capacity
under j. Il. Macklin of Pennsylvania
university, a former pupil of the late
Mike Murphy. During the four col
lege years Mr.. Cortright made a foot
ball monogram four times, in base
ball twice and in track twice. That
he is an ~all-around athlete is shown
by this record and by the fact that
he was captain of the football team
in 1910 and captain of the baseball
team in 1911.
1t will be remembered that the M.
A. G. football team made a wonderful
record last year, defeating the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, University of
Michigan and the University of South
Dakota.
That the University OF South Da-
kota will have a football team of
which she can well be proud is shown
by the fact that but two of last years
men will be lost to the squad. Capt.
Ferguson has already heard from
several prominent high school stars
who have signifed their intention of
entering the university this fall and
trying for the team.
The football schedule for 1914 is
the best in the history of the uni
versity, and as arranged by w. j..
Johnson, manager of athletics, is as
follows:
September 26-Open.
October South Dakota State
college at Vermillion.
October 10-University of Nebras-
ka at Lincoln.
October 17-University of Mime
sofa at Minneapolis.
October 24-Notre Dame at Sioux
Falls.
October 31-North Dakota uniyer-
sity at Grand Forks.
November Open.
November 14-Morningside col
lege at Sioux City.

ments, usually for amounts of $3.50
to $3.50, although he attempted to
cash a check for $22.50 at one of
the hotels. He operated here under

Judge A. w. S~ponholz, who has
looked into the eyes of more petty
thieves than the average man, heard
their stories and dealt out justice TO
them, met up with a pilferer in the
quiet little town of Hartford yester-
day. The judge was on a trip to
Sioux Falls by automobile and arriv-
ing at Hartford he left his car for a
few moments and when he returned
the coat to his best suit was missing,
gone, stolen. Without saying a word
the judge mounted his car. turned
on the power and scud out of the
town, glad to escape safely with the
balance of his clothes TO protect him
self from s%unburns. In Sioux Falls
he met several Madison citizens of
whom he inquired if they had an eX-
ira coat to loan, without being ac-
commodated, and the last seen of him
he was wandering about Phillips av-
anue coatless.

Sioux City, Aug. 6.-The myster-
ious disappearance of Helen Har-
bough of Egan, S. D., was cleared
yesterday when relatives learned
that she was in a hospital at Sioux
Falls. About a week ago the girl
started to Fremont, Neb., for a visit
with her sister, Mrs. Charles Clyde,
and when she failed to arrive after
several days relatives became uneasy
and insisted upon a search for her.
Monday Clyde came to Sioux City
and enlisted the police In the search.
1t was learned that the girl had
bought a ticket in Egan and that the
route she was to take would take her
through Sioux City, where she would
have to change cars. Her baggage,
which was checked in Egan for Sioux
City. did not reach here.
Relatives learned that the girl
had left the train at Sioux Falls.
They located her In that place In a
hospital. She told them she became
i'll on the train, and that after going
to the hospital she was 90 i'll to
notify her relatives of her where
