BY SCORE OF 10 TO o.
KIRKPATRICK IN FORM

BY hitting the ball timely and TAX
ing advantage of frequent errors, Da-
kota Wesleyan a 10. TO 0 victory
oyer Columbus college, of Chamber
lain, on University field Saturday af-
ternonn. No small share for the vic
tory belongs to Corde kirkpatrick,
who pitched himself out OF several
tight holes in the struggle.
In the second game, the Method
lists showed considerable improve
ment over their form in the battle
a week ago with Sioux Falls college.
The fielding WAS cleaner. the batting
much stronger and the ragged edges
worn off the general team work.
kirkpatrick also demonstrated that
he is one of the leading college slab
artists of the state.
Two Timely hits lin the second
frame, coupled with a sacrifice and
ragged fielding by the visitors, gave
the locals a brace of runs. In the
fourth inning, hard hitting added d
quartet of runs to Mitchcll's score
and in the s!Xth, the Columbus de-
Tense crumpled and four more runs
were chalked up. The decisions on
bases did not help the visitors at any
stage of the game.
The hitting of Cass, Avery and
Ross Smith was the important fea-
ture of Mitchell's attack. Newcomb

that is about the way the average
mar begins driving an automobile.
An automobile car and often does
run as fast as a railroad train. Surely
it is not unreasonable that those in
charge Of these machines should now
and then have some instruction from
public officials and under public
laws.
The second good reason for. traffic
rules Is that Mitchell is becoming a
city and that cities are endangered
by unregulated street traffic. Main
street, paved as it IS, now is used as
a big sidewalk. Women and children
are frequently in the pathway of
automobiles. Not only are pedes-
trians in danger unless there are
some recognized traffic rules, but the
Jars themselves may easily become
confused with collisions as a result.
Mitchell is doing well to establish
traffic rules without awaiting some
serious accident, in which case there
you'd be a quick public demand. and.
no doubt. criticism of the city Off
Gals for failing to enforce the traffic
ordinance up to that time.

BOY KILLS HIS
OWN BROTHER
They Were Playing With a Shotgun
and Didn't Know It Was
Loaded.

Chicago-John Berg, a ten-year-old
boy, vas shot and killed the other day
by his brother, William Berg. while
William was playing with a shotgun.
The shotgun belonged to Seth Bedelle
at Seyenty-ifth street and Elizabeth
avenue. at whose home the boys were
visiting.
The father of tie boys is William
o. Berg. John, with his brother Will
lam, went over to Redelle's home
early in the morning. They had
planned a day of play and While wait
ing for Bedelie to come out of the
house William noticed the shotgun
standing against the porch.
In a spirit of play and thinking the
weapon was not loaded he picked it up
and swung it around. AS he did so the
trigger caught in some manner and the
gun exploded. The charge went into
the back OF Johns neck. He died ten
minutes later.

Aberdeen, s. D.-Aberdeen friends
of r. A. Mills, a pioneer Of the town.
and a former postmaster and prom

from members OF his family. from
Mexico City, where Mr.. Mills and his
family have resided-for many years.
The letters were dated April 10, and
give some interesting details of life
in the Mexican capital. even though
they had % he worded carefully to
escape censor. A portion of a letter
says: There is so little to do. and
so many of our friends have gone
away. Such lucky people, l wish We
had gone before exchange had gone
up. Just imagine paving s3,65 to
$3.50 for one OF your dollars. Can
you imagine anyone taking a trip
when ones money is hardly worth
anything? Everything is so expensive
l think you would be quite shocked
to know the p~ricesAof- ONE things.
For instance. Imported goods such
as shoes. We have to pay from Sic
to SIS a pair for American shoes,
and for butter we pay $3.50 a pound,
and IA is made in the city. Neget-
ables, chickens and different fowls

and l guess We'll have to stay. 1t is

we hardly dare give out opinions. All

way | am never caught by one side

guments and they make me tired, for
am not very fond of arguing with
anyone. The feeling against A

very strong and sometime it hurts
me to hear them talk about my peo-
pie ,sbut we live here and so We must
put up with what is here" This letter

Mills to Miss. Goldie Jewell, an Alb

DIVISION
OF PENNINGTON COUNTY

Pierre, S. D.-The residents of the
east end of Pennington county have
the division fever, and are asking
for a vote on the cutting off that part
of Pennington east of the Cheyenne
river and form it into a county to be
known as Howard county, in honor
of that old pioneer, G.. x. Howard,
who started with the first settlers in
the Sioux Valley at Sioux Falls. and
kept to the frontier as long as there
was such a feature in South Dakota,
finally closing out his active business
interests and is now residing in Rapid
City. The section they wish to in
clude in the new county. is what was
covered in early days by the name of
Washington county, before it was abb
sorbed by Pennington county in the
consolidation act which wiped out a
lot of western unorganized counties.

TRIAL OF PETRAS HALTED
BY FIGHT ON A WITNESS

Geneva, Ill, Sept. 25.-Court was adj
journed yesterday during the. second
trial of Anton Petras for the murder
of Theresa Hollander, with opposing
counsel debating over the admissible
ity of evidence to be given by wit
ness, Michael McEnroe of Aurora.
McEnroe has told that he saw Petras
dragging Miss Hollander towards st.
Nicholas cemetery one night just be-
fore Petras marriage to his 19-year-old
wife, Meta Mathews Petras. The
Young woman was resisting, but Pc
tras did not desist until he espied him,
McEnroe says.
This testimony is incompetent, the
defense asserts, while the prosecution
maintains il tends to prove Petras
dragged the girl into the same cere-
terry on another night and murdered
her. Judge Carnes gave the opposing
attorneys until today to cite support
ing cases.
