the ground in better shape than for
some years.
Pierre-A novel cattle herding
place on the side streets of Pierre
when a cattle man drove a small
herd through the town with an auto
mobile. He honked his auto horn
instead of shouting in the usual way
at the cattle and used his search
lights when an animal tried to stray
out of line. The lighl had all the
effect ordinarily obtained by extra
riders and moved the cattle into the
proper place each time.
Tabor-This place was the scene
Of a decided weather freak in the
form of a miniature tornado which
swept owe the town at a time when
but a light breeze was blowing. A
rainstorm was prevailing at the time.
After blowing over a number of
small buildings in town, the tornado
switched its course and struck the
baseball g~randstand in the outskirts
of town. The storm tore the grand
stand to pieces and scattered the ma
terial for a distance of $50 to 200
feet. A small shed nearby also was
demolished and pieces of it were
found 200 feet away. As but little
wind was blowing outside of the
pathway of the tornado, few citizens
realized the dangerous condition at
the time.
Dallas-Jackson brothers, of Dali
las. have sold TO the farmers in the
neighborhood of Dallas, Colombo,
Carter and Wewela, 5000 cows since
the opening of their stock yards at
Dallas in February. The Jackson
brothers and their eastern connec-
lions have s3,000,000 loaned on
farms in the Rosebud, and went into
the cattle venture this year to aid
the farmers in making good. With
the large number of cattle shipped i'm
and distributed among the Rosebud
farmers and the present wonderful
prospects for crops, Gregory and
Trip counties should register a
highly prosperous season in 1914.

ESTATE CONTEST
I'm Clay County Settled BY Supreme
Court Decision.

Pierre. May THE supreme court
has affirmed the trial court in the
case of Thomas O'Gorman. trustee
and appellant, against John L. Jol-
ley, administrator, of Clay county.
The lower court held that a deposit
made by Margaret Sullivan to the
certificate of which she, later and be-
fore her death, attached instruc-
lions regarding its bestowal upon
different persons, is not a bequest to
those persons, and was a part of her
property at the time of her death,
because she did not redeliver the GER
~tificate to the bank.
Margaret Sullivan, an aged woman
at Vermillion, deposited s $4,000 in
the First National bank, of that
town, and a certificate was issued to
her. Her spiritual adviser, a Cath
Ollie priest, went to the bank, told
the bank officials of the woman's
wishes and instructions, and the
bank cashier prepared a typed state
ment, pasting ii to the certificate,
which the priest took to her to sign.
This statement said: Il direct that
the certificate be handed Father
Flood Immediately after my death
and the above conditions be fulfill
ed" and instructed the bank to pay
and distribute the amount of said
certificate of deposit TO Is designat-
ed beneiciaries. The certificate was
properly signed, but was kept in the
house and in the hands of Margaret
Sullivan, until after her death, when
the priest delivered it to the bank.
The trial court held that the in
tended requests were not in legal
form and the supreme court affirms
this opinion.

as the long lost father, who had left
Alabama with $40 and drifted until
he landed in Brazil. There he went
TO work on a coffee plantation at so
cents a day. He was steadily ad-
vanced in pay and responsibility I'M
til the owner. an Englishman, took
him in as a partner. The plantation
prospered, and when the original
owner died worth $4,000, 600, the
benefactor of Blackmon was without
relatives and left all his property to
the man who came to him as a day
laborer.
Then Blackmon began to think of
his wife and children struggling for
an existence for twenty-one years.
He returned to Calhoun county in
Alabama, and, after finding his
youngest son, located his wife. They
met coolly. There was no evidence
of affection from the deserted wom-
an. They parted as friendly aequain-
tances. Blackmon hung his head
and quietly left. But he provided for
all the members of his family so as
to make them comfortable for life.
arranged to divide his vast fortune
among them at his death, and, heavy
of heart, with tears in his eyes, at
SO years of age, went back to his
coffee plantations in Brazil.
Members of the family have made
large deposits in a local bank. and
are seeking investments. The young
est boy, who supported his mother
many years, and never had n
schooling is preparing to take a COM
piete education. over $4,000 in
cash was distributed to members of
Blackmon's family, and each was
provided with an annual income for
life of $4,000, besides other gifts of
lands and other properties.

T. Blackmon hunted up his wife,

~, in this state, found them all in
pinched financial circumstances, pro-
vided handsomely for the entire fam
lily for the rest OF their lives and re-
turned as suddenly to his coffee plan

view with his wife, who parted with
him as a coldly courteous friend. He
had become a multimillionaire after
years of poverty, but was gray and
bent. and bowed down with sorrow.
Blackmon's departure, wanderings
and astonishing financial success in
a foreign land read like a story of
romance and adventure from Alad-
din fairy tales. Twenty-one years
ago he disappeared, leaving his wife
and four children in reduced circum-
stances. In all the interval no word
was received from him. and they
knew not whether he was dead or
alive. The story leaked out through
deposits made by his family in a
local bank.

Arrival of American Cruiser Cause,
Panic on West Coast of Mexico.

On Board U. S. S. South Dakota.
Acapulco, Mex, April 2S, via San
Diego, May 7.-(Delayed in trans
mission. THE arrival of the cruiser
South Dakota late today was a sig
nal for the immediate evacuation of
the city by the Mexican federals. The
vessel anchored in the bay at night
fall, and made no attempt to send
boats ashore, so the Mexicans return
ea later.
Commandant Sale, of the federal
garrison, issued a proclamation en-
anating from Mexico City Offering
complete amnesty to all rebels who
would join the federals against the
United States.
The Heurtaistas, headed by the
military and civil officials, soon af-
terward turned their attention to the
celebration of several important
Mexican victories over the United
States along the northern border,
news of which, it was pretended, had
Just reached Acapulco. Gems. Villa
and Carranza had joined Heurta, so
the story ran, and were marching
VIGOROUSLY into the United States:
40 4 ooo anu oloN HSNlll6 udu IdIItH
before the invading armies of the
united Mexican leaders, and the
Americans had lost 500 in killed at
Vera Cruz.
These false tales of Mexican
achievements so infamed the popu-
lace that no shore liberty was grant
ed on the South Dakota, for fear the
sight of the American uniform in the
streets might lead to disorders and
bloodshed.
1t developed tonight that the prob
able reason for the return of the fed
eral troops to Acapulco after their
flight on the South Dakota's arrival,
was the menacing proximity of a
band of Zapata's followers, who, ii
is believed. are contemplating an
early attack on the city. Even while
they are fo~rtifying themselves
the H~uertaistas are celebrating their
imaginary conquest on Texas cities
against the expected onslaught by
their own c~ountrymen.
