I'M addition to the freworks to be

In addition to the fireworks to be
displayed In connection with THE
Opening OF Panama" at the South
Dakota State Fair, the Pain Fire
works Company will give a two hour
exhibition of Twentieth Century
Pyrotechnics, something far grander
and far more magnificent and awe
inspiring than anything ever before
attempted in the amusement line.
The display at last years fair was
SO wonderful, that many visitors who
saw II on the opening nights wired
their friends at home to come on the
next train. The exhibition this year
will outclass that of last year in ev-
cry respect, which seems almost i'm
possible.
There are sixty-three parts to the
fireworks program, including beauti-
full set pieces, bursting bombs, mill
tary balloons, aerial flower gardens,
spideriand, comic pieces, aerial
wheat sheaf, Yellowstone wonders,
shooting rockets, Goddess Of Liberty,
alfalfa fields, Miser's Dream, Search
lights, Roar of the Milky Way, Fly
Ing Eagles, War of Dragons, Aerial
Blizzard, etc. Binding flashes of
light, terrible d~etonations of bursting
bombs and rockets, Kissing and
screaming OF aerial pieces, and beau
tiful lightning effects In colors, will
combine 10 make this an entertain
ment in a class by itself. Changes in
program will D e given each night
no two alike.

production the crowning success

Coroner's Inquest
Verdict: Accident

A cOrOner'S 8 inquest was held
Saturday in Grange hall over the
death of R. R. Bowan. which oc-
Cured in Leyden mine Thursday
of last week. Several witnesses
were examined, among them DR..
Foster, who examined the body,
and James Delahunty, state mine
inspector. From the testimony
given the death was due to an
accident for which no one SEEM
ed to be directly to blame, being
one of those unavoidable acci-
dents that frequently occur in a
coal mine.
The cause of the accident was
what is ca lied in mining phrase
ology, the slip of a pot" A
pot is a huge strata of shale,
larger at the bottom than at the
top, cone shaped, which has loose
crevices of earth or sand about
it. 1t rests on the roof of coal,
which is left to protect the mine
from the crumbling shale, and is
timbered according to rule with
in 8 to 6 feet of the end of the
chamber in which the coal is be-
ing removed. The evidence
showed that the rules had been
complied with and that Bowan
took his own chance when he
worked too far from the end of
the timbered roof.
The jury was composed of o.
B. Drake. A. j. Recht, W. H.
Light, ]. C. Nolan, Frank Ul-
man, G. A. Anderson.
verdict was as follows:
I'VE the jury find that Robt.
Bowan came to his death in the
Leyden mine on Aug. oath, &C.
cidentally by having what is
commonly called in mining a
pot" fall on him, which was
purely unavoidable and no blame
is attached to anyone.
