Carter-Chas. Snyder, of Carter,
and Herman Baden, of Witten, have

ed by the state authorities, who 10
have jurisdiction in such cases, which
formerly were handled by the federal
authorities.
Howard Steps have been taken here
to organize a company of state national
guardmen, who will be mustered into
the service of the state rs soon as the
preliminariss can be arranged. An
armory has been secured and drills will
take place at frequent intervals. 1t is
hoped to have the company mustered

Huron-E. ID. Pickell, a rural mail
carrier out of this city, was thrown
from his mail wagon and painfully
injured, when his horse ran away
with him. The side of his face and
head were badly cut and lacerated
and one ear was nearly torn off. and
his shoulders aud arms were bruised
and cut. He was brought TO town
for medical aid, and it is expected
that hs will recover without difficulty,
there being no broken bones or in
ternal injuries.
Clear Lake-The bursting of a gun
barrel in the hands of Louis Rorman
caused serious injuries to Gertrude
Ryan. the 9-year old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Daniel Ryan. living en- a
farm near Clear Lake. The girl was
near young Rorman when he fred a
rifle. The bullet, through some defect.
lodged in the barrel of the gun
and caused the barrel to burst. Two
pieces of jagged steel struck the Ryan
girl in the BYE, and for q time it was
thought the sight had been perman-
emily destroyed. One piece of the steel
has been removed and there are hopes
that her eyesight q be saved,
Canton-Ons of the bonanza farmers
of South Dakota is J.. r. Millsge. a
pioneer of Lincoln eounty. During the
past twelve months he sold over 10, 900
worth of live stock, and in addition
during the past season raised 5000
bushels of corn. 1000 bushels of oats
and | 500 bushels of barley. Although
he is nearly 10 years of age he did all
the work of the farm with the aid of
only one hired man. 1t is believed
that no other farmer of his g in
the state made as good a record. Mr..
Miilage is the owner of 500 acres of
farm land, all of which is under Guilt
walton. He now is arranging to erect
q new set of buildings on a smaller
farm which he recently purchased. and
on which he will make his permanent
home.
Deadwood-A pair of locked deer
~antlers, said to be the only pair in ex-
istence in the Black Hills, have been
found by Stuart Connors, an old pros
pector north of mere and mounted.
The antlers are the mute testimony Of
a death struggle between two bucks
years ago as they were found in an
obscure spot and were bleached clear
white by the action OF the elements.
The antlers had been locked in such
q manner that the necks were at right
angles and therefore the heads could
be easily mounted. Although thous-
ands of deer have been seen and slain
in the Black Hills since the white
mans coming. this is the first known
instance where bucks had locked
antlers in a fight in this section.

ed for the candidacy of Fort Pierre
