YOUNG CHILD GETS PIGS EYE
Operation in Baltimore Hospital the
First of Its Kind in United
States.

Baltimore, Md.-What is believed to
be the first operation of its kind in
this country was performed at a local
hospital when the cornea of a pigs
eye was grated on the sightless eye
of a three-months-old boy. 1t was said
that previous operations, in which rab-
bits eyes had been used, were unsuc-
cessful, but that experiments with
pigs eyes had led scientists to believe
that they were more adaptable. Two
cases are said to be on record where
the grating of human cornea gave
sight to totally blind eyes.
In the operation the pig was chloro-
formed, the eyeball taken out and
the cornea cut from it. An extraordi-
narily fine needle and fine silk were
used in sewing the cornea In place.
The eye will remain bandaged for
about a week.

Arrest on Fraud Charge.

Clark.-Will and Ed Hoff of Croker,
arrested on a charge Of obtaining
money under false pretenses, waived
examination and appeared before
Judge Sherwood Of the circuit and
pleaded guilty. It seems that they had
made 1t a practice of borrowing small
sums OF money from several of the
banks in the county, giving chattel
mortgages on property which existed
only in their imagination. They were
sentenced to one year in the state pris,
on, but sentence was suspended op
their promise to turn over a part Of
their wages each month to pay what
they owed the banks, amounting in all
to between $500 and $500. Both are

Butte County Fair Success,

Belle Fourche.-"One OF the most

attempted in Belle Fourche," Is the
way one man characterized the first
annual Butte County Industrial Expo
sition, held in Belle Fourche. In so
speaking this man only echoed the
sentiment that was given expression
on every side. Artistic ideas that
would be a credit to decorators in a
city OF several thousand were carried
out in decorating the AZ booths that
made up the pleasing and attractive
display. The attendance from the
hour Of opening until the close Of the
dance at midnight Saturday night
was much larger than expected, and
in spite of the fact hat it is the busy
eason of the year for farmers and
r%anchers. many Of them visited the
show for one or more days and eve

HOUSE CAT Is NEARLY BAKED
Stove and is Nearly Burned
to Death.

Waynesboro, PAN. B. Ayers,
Hamilton avenue, Waynesboro, almost
cooked a new dish at his home.
When he retired at night he left the
over door Of the kitchen stove open.
To get away from the cold the family
cat crawled into the oven and there
curled itself up for a sleep that lasted
all through the night.
When Mr.. Ayers went downstairs in
the morning to stir up the fire he
closed the oven door. The cat slept
on and made no protest. Then Mr..
Ayers turned on the drafts and thrust
the poker into the bed of Goals, and
in a short time he had a good fire
going.
He heard the mewing of a cat, but
he couldn't see a cat, and he fancied
the animal might be on the outside.
But the cat grew more persistent in
its mewing and added a tone Of an
guish to it, and then MI. Ayers be-
thought him of the oven. He opened
the door and the cat sprang on to
him, almost knocking him off his feet.
The animal was burned terribly. It's
feet were badly charred and its body
was almost baked. 1t is still living
and is on the road to recovery.

ground down to a razor-like sharpness.
Near the hilt are die-cut Roman let
ters "Sabatier Rue, France" and be-
meath this an open hand, surrounded
by the letters "A Paris" The ques-
ton at once arises: Who put the
knife there, and when? The steel is
of the finest. Not even its long i'm
mersion in the earth has eaten away
the surface to any considerable ex-
tent. Perhaps some French "voy-
ageur" camped there two hundred
years ago, and forgot his knife. More
likely ONE wandering Indian band en-.
camped there and left the knife that
they had bought of the French, paying
for 1t with beaver skins. One can sur
mise almost anything. The chances
are that the wne left in a hurry, for
knives like that, eve today, are valu-
able, and some hundreds of years ago
would have been worth it's weight in
gold. Certain it is that the English
settlers did not carry French knives,
and this particular blade dates back
beyond the earliest English settle
ment.

She returned she discovered that she

Paw More for Tickets.

Sioux Falls.-Notwithstanding the
passenger rate in South Dakota was
on the 18th instant reduced from 3
to 21R cents per mile, it will cost a
person travelling from Sioux Falls 10
Aberdeen by the way OF Mitchell more
than it did before. The fare from
Sioux Falls TO Aberdeen by the way of
Mitchell was $5.47, while under the
new rate it is $500. Before the reduced
rate went into effect the fare from
Sioux Falls to Aberdeen by the way
of Mitchell was based on the short
route by the way of Bristol. Under the
new law the ruling Of the railroad com
pany is that if a passenger takes the
Mitchell route he must pay the long
haul. The fare by the way of Bristol,
however, is reduced under the new
rate from $5.47 to S4.55.

TRIES TO SHOOT UP NEW TOWN.
Liquor-crazed Sioux Indian 10 Arrest.

GfquoT-STdkeO SiouX inoidH - HTVeve'
ed Amid Hail Of Bullets.
Colome.-While in a liquor-crazed
condition, Andrew Eastman, a mixed
blood Brule Sioux Indian, attempted
to shoot up the new town Of Wood.
Amid a hail of bullets he was arrested
and when taken before Judge Will
iamson of the state circuit court was
fined $50 and sentenced to a term OF
thirty days in Jail for his escapadc.
He suddenly appeared in the town,
mounted on a pony and booted and
spurred and armed with a six-shooter.
1t was not long until he decided he
must have a little excitement. Riding
his pony at a gallop through the
streets he fired bullet after bullet into
the business houses. During the bonn
bardment there was a wild scramble
on the part of the business men and
other residents TO get out of the way
of the flying bullets. The sheriff and
states attorney made the trip from
White River to Wood In record time
in an automobile and by risking their
lives succeeded in making a prisoner
OF the crazed Indian.
