Ninth street, started on a runaway
from in front of S%hipley's laundry
and Immediately made a dive for a
defenseless Ford standing several
rods ahead of it.
Before it could be subdued it had
run to Main avenue and had given
the Ford such a scare hat after it was
stopped by its owner, the Ford kept
on going until it was stopped by peo-
pie in the street and taken to the
curb in front Of the Elks' building.
The Ford received a few scratches
and a broken tail light in the affair.
A break in the lever used in shift
ing gears caused the accident, as the
auto started at high speed as soon as
it was cranked and before the driver
could get into his seat. He leaped on
tho dash board, got into a rear seat
and climbed to his place, finally stop
ping his engine.

farms. This is one Of several con-
tentions Of the government in the ia
DeBell land cases, which will

actual value.

Elmer n. Bowers Disappears from
Home Of Wife's Mother.
Ethan.-Elmer H. Bowers, a rural
carrier from Armour, who has been
in this vicinity since July l, disap-
peared from the home Of his Wife's
mother, Mrs. Julia Bloom, eight miles
east of here, on the banks of the jim
river. Part of his clothes were found
at the riverside. 1t was thought that
he had drowned accidentally while
bathing, but a thorough dragging Of
the river failed to locate the body.
Bloodhounds were procured and
brought to the scene and followed
the scent to the R%ockport bridge,
bridge, about two miles from where
the clothes were found. The river
was dragged in that vicinity also, but
without success. 1t is thought that
he had a sum of money and a reovlver
in his possession when he left the
house. A theory advanced is that he
wandered away while temporarily un-
balanced, on account Of the fact that
he had been complaining of pains in
his head.

Mitcheli-Banks and commercial
clubs Of South Dakota VIII receive
the first appeal for financial aid Tor
the erection of a state building at the
San Francisco exposition. This was
decided at the meeting OF the state
building commission at Ruskln park.
In addition to soliciting funds for
the proposed state building, which
will cost approximately $4,000, the
commission decided to place souye-
Mrs on sale. The souvenirs will be
oxydized silver buttons, bearing the
exposition seal and the letters OF
the state, and will sell for 81 and ".
J.. w. Campbell of Huron was named
as the treasurer Of the commission
and will receive all contributions II
funds derived from the sale OF SOU
venirs.
1t seems probable that the projected
structure at San Francisco will take
the form of a c~orn1palace, as he
sentiment of the members OF the COM
mittee is in favor of it's erection. 1t
is believed that this type OF building
would be unique in design and adver-
Using value, as well as typical of the
agricultural of the state.
If the exterior of the building will be
accepted as fire-proof by the EXPOSE
ton officials, the commission will urge
the adoption of this type of structure.
Another feature Of the South Da-
kota building will be the daily showing
Of motion pictures OF the leading in
dIEtries Of the state.
