aspires.
Other candidates of the various
parties for minor positions also have
actively entered the field, and there
is every indication that none of the
campaigns will lag, but will be pros
ecuted vigorously by the opposing
parties. State headquarters have
been opeLed and voluminous amounts
OF campaign literature are being sent
broadcast throughout the state.
Interest in what might otherwise
have been a tame campaign has been
added by the entrance of r. o. Rich
ards as an indepedent candidate for
governor and the active and agrees
i've campaign which he is making. He
is touring the state by automobile,
and before the polls close in Novem-
Der will have visited every part of

The opponents of the granting of
the right of franchise to women of
South Dakota are opening an agrees
i've fight for the defeat of the pro-
posed amendment to the state consti-
tuition granting women the right OF
suffrage in November. Women
speakers from the east representing
organizations of women which oppose
granting women the right to vote are
arriving in South Dakota, and later
will be joined by others, who will
make a speaking campaign through
out the state with the object of
bringing about the defeat of the pro-
posed constitutional amendment.

informed the trainmen that he had

stated that two men had held him up
and shot him, and that the same men
were plotting to wreck the train and

thrown the switch in order 10 derail

Rev and Mrs. Ewart gave a delight
full reception to a party OF fifty nor

and a delightful social time spent.
H. ]. Patterson returned from the
state fair at Aberdeen and reports it
a success, though coming out a little
behind financially. The Grain Palace,
he thought, would pay, as 1t had been
attended by large crowds every night.
He gives the Aberdeen people great
praise as hustlers and says If they
only had good crops for two or three
years they would make Aberdeen a
city of 10000 inhabitants. Senator
C. K. Davis of Minnesota spoke to an

FIRED ON YOUNG COUPLES
Melon Patch Raiders
Wounded by Guards.

Pierre, Sept. 22.-What is classed
guarding a melon patch on Marion's
island, above Fort Pierre, resulted In
the wounding of Messrs. Norman and
Davis and the Misses Grid and Luco,
all of Fort Pierre, who were return
ing after dark on a semipublic high
way that led through the fortified
truck district. Miss Grid is the
daughter of the sheriff of Stanley
county. and Mr.. Norman is deputy
sheriff.
All of the members OF the party
were struck by shot, Miss Luco being
seriously wounded. One bullet en-
tered her lung and another lodged
near her heart. Those attacked deny
that they were disturbing the melons
in any way, claiming that they were
merely using this shortcut road on
their way home.
The shots were fired by Oliver Mar
ion, Sol of the owner of the melon
patch, and Howard Aiken, the hired
man. Both men are under arrest.
They claim that they shot only after
the members of the party, who were
on horseback, had failed to stop when
commanded. The men who did the
shooting state that they had caught
some other persons raiding the patch
the same night and supposed the two
young couples from Fort Pierre were
members of that party, who had re-
turned to do ore damage.
The attending physician fears that
a piece of Miss Luco's dress was ear

ROBINS BOOST

quarters Near Sioux City.

Sioux City, Sept. 22.-Beginning
each evening about $50 o'clock there
is a great whipping of wings and
chirping of feathered threats in the
nejghborhood of the Longfellow
grade school building, Morning Side.
Gradually hundreds of robins, stuff
fed with wroms and bugs that are Of
fensive in the gardeners sight, settle
in the trees west of the school build
ing. There they spend the nights.
The gathering of birds is unusual
in this section. The robin roost, as 1t
is called. is a relay station on the
long southwark journey of the robins
as winter approaches. The length of
time spent at these mobilization
points, varies. The Morning Side
roost began to attract robins at least
six weeks ago. The number of birds
in the roost has increased steadily.
Migration of the robins this year is
considerably earlier than usual. The
birds were noticed in numbers Au-
gust q. The early congregation is
taken by some who look for omens as
a portent Of early winter. There is
no scientific justification for this be-
lief, according to DR.. It. c. Stephens,
head of the Morning Side college BIZ
illogical department, who is a student
of bird habits. DR.. Stephens said he
could not account for the change in
date of the migration.
The birds depart each morning al
sunrise for fields and gardens. Lit
ale damage is done to vegetation by
the birds, and that little is many
times outweighed by the benefits oil
the robins appetite for insects, it is
stated.
Eight hundred birds were counted
at the roost last week. Probably
1000 are there now, according tc
those who have watched arriving con
tingents.
Sioux City Bird club members
who have become interested in the
robin colony, will meet again thi:
week and visit the roost.

ried into the wound AM that peri
tonitis may result. There is a strong
possibility that she may die.
During the earlier part of the mel
on season a number of Fort Pierre
youngsters had threatened to raid
this melon patch, and it is supposed
that these threats induced the owner
to maintain his gun guard.
The town is aroused over the Incl
dent, and a vigorous prosecution is
certain to follow If any fatalities or
permanent injuries result from the
shooting.
