Maloney is a prominent mining man,
owning extensive mining interests in

the mineral resources of the Black
Hills, having invested the major por-
ton of a quarter of a million dol
lars in properties in. this section. Mr..

CAR STRIKES
PHONE POLE
A. t. DowNEY TURNS ASIDE TO
AVOID COLLISION-DR. BOBB
IS SUFFERS INJURY

In order to avert a crash with an
automobile driving just ahead of him
last evening, on the way home from
Mt. Vernon, A. T. Downey vas forced
to swerve his car off the grade of
the road. to such an angle that the
side of the car nearest the incline.
struck a telephone pole, causing con-
siderable damage to the body Of the
car. The windshield was almost de-
molished, and the top was torn to
some extent.
It seems that the car was coming
down a long hill, and the cars were
going at quite a speed, when the car
in the lead turned to one side. To
avert a crash, Mr.. Downey turned his
car to one sire, which caused the ac-
cident.
Besides Mr.. Dowhey and wife, the
others in the a were DR.. and Mrs.
B.sA. Bobb, and daughter Miss Luz
Gle Bobb. DR.. Bobb seemed to be the
victim is so far as injuries were con-
cerned. A cash was cut Just above
his right eye. Other members of the
party escaped with no more than a
Jolt.

TOTAL OF S67, 900 ALREADY Is
:. PLEDGED. FOR CONSTRUC-
MON, OF LINE NORTHlFROM
WATERFOWL.

Waubay, S. D.-The speakers who
are urging farmers within two miles
of the proposed extension of the s..
ID. Central railroad north from Wat
ertown appear to be meeting with,
good, success in their undertaking.
They already have pledged, it is said
$4,000 toward the extension, in
addition totthe $4,000 bonus offer
ed by tWatertown. IT. is claimed that
B. Cunnif of Chicago, who accom-
anies the South Dakota Central peo-
Pile in their trips, but who claims to
have no financial interest .in.the mat
ter. has purchased two tracts of land
one in hura' and the other in Bloom
ing Prairie township, both of
which are far enough from other
towns to make excellent townsites. 1t
seems certain that the road will be
built from WATERFOWL to Rauville
and then up Blooming Valley, but
the terminus is not yet settled, and
depends, no doubt somewhat upon.
the bonus offered by some town,
though il is likely the terminus will
be some town on the main line of the
Milwaukee. Both Waubay and Ortley
are mentioned, and now Summit
seems inclined to get into the game.
On Tuesday. a meeting of the COM
mercial club was held, and the mat
ter was taken up. A number of the
prominent business men favored go
ing after the new road, and a COM
mittee was appointed to discuss the
matter with the promoters.
Meantime a committee from the
WATERFOWL Commercial club called
a public meeting att the Waubay
opera house, where the entire mat
ter was laid before the people by
Vice President Macarthur. of the
South Dakota Central, who stated
the road would be built at once or
not at. all. and that it would strike
the Milwaukee either at Ortley or
Waubay, depending upon, the town
offering the most inducements
