NEARLY DROWNED
GRAPHIC STORY OF AN ACCT.
DENT AT LAKE kAM-
PESkA.

WATERFOWL, June 5.-Only very
narrowly was a drowning at Lake
Kampeska averted when Russell Fer
ris, a Brookings college cadet, be-
came unable to help himself while
swimming near Stony Point and pow
%erless to attract the attention of his
companions who were on all sides of
him when he sank to the bottom.
The cadets were taken for a ride
to the lake and the water feeling
warm all decided to take a plunge.
Russell Ferris was the second of the
young men to go in and was in about
seven feet of water when in some
unaccountable n he became
powerIess to keep himself afioat. He
stated after his recovery that his
mouth became filled with water, but
that he did not believe he was cramp-
ed. He has been an excellent swim
mer all his life and right at home in
the water.
While watching him swim. one of
his companions saw him disappear
and later come to the surface, but
Thought nothing of ii as he believed
him to be diving for fun. The swim
mer repeated the action a number OF
times and finally only his hands APP
peared, but still his watching com
panion was not aware of the danger,
as he uttered no outcry, his throat
seeming to have lost the power of
speech, as he later explained.
Ferris companions attention was
then drawn to something else and he
/ fhaYNuht ~ n.nrn ahnrVf him NntsI n
lyoung lady called his attention TO the
fact that Ferris had been under the
water a long time, about five or six
minutes later.
The boys only then became aware
of the seriousness of the situation
and started in a frantic search foi
the body. Luckily a boat was secured
and George Moe who drove the cedets
to the lake in an automobile, hung
on TO one end and diving at interval:
felt along the bottom with his fee
for the body. He found ii in a short
time.
Another Of the cadets holding Il
Noes body let himself down to tn,
bottom and securing a hold on Fer
ris' leg pulled him to the surface
where he was loaded into the boat
His companions rushed him to shor'
and by quick and systematic work
succeeded in reviying him after NOR,
than "A half hours WORK in rubbing
and rolling him, pumping his armi
to aid his returning breath. BY the
time a doctor had arrived Ferris wa!

~greatly exhausted from his expert
ence. He had been under water AND
Unconscious for fully ten minutes.

ANOTHER STORM
4 TERRIFIC RAIN PREVAILED IN
MADISON AND VICINITY
LAST NIGHT.

The heaviest rain within the meHi-
DRY of the oldest inhabitant" pre-
vailed in Madison last night. The
storm came up from the northeast
about 4:30 p. m. and continued with
only short intermissions until after
midnight. The ]downpour was simply
remarkable The street cutters were
taxed beyond their capacity to carry
off the water, and i'm some cases wa
ter filtered into easements in Egan
avenue, but no particular damage re-
suited from this source. The rain
fall is variOusly estimated at from
three to five inches-this estimate
being made up from the contents of
vessels standing outdoors. Lake Park
creek, passing through the city at
Ninth street, is bank full today, and
in portions of the southeast part of
the city water flowed over the banks
of the creek and spread over the
commons. No damage is reported,
other than the drowning of young
chickens caught out in the storm.
There was only a slight wind in the
city, but a remarkable freak of the
wind occurred at the farm of C. X.
Nichols, a mile west of the city limits.
Apparently without warning there
was a swirl of wind i'm the barnyard,
tearing to pieces the barn, hog house,
hen house and other small buildings.
The farm house was uninjured and
none Of the neighbors suffered dam
lage.
Trainmen report the rainfall about
equal to that in Madison as far north
as Bryant, but beyond that point
there was a quiet rain which prevail
ed during the night. The storm ex-
tended west as far as Wessingtor
Springs, but there was no damage
along the line i'm that direction eX.
cept in the vicinity Of Winfred, where
windmills and small o~utbuildings
were damaged. Reports from the
least are that the storm extended fan
into Minnesota. Near Egan eight tel.
legraph poles were blown down which
interrupted telegraph communication
in that direction during a portion Of
the day.

O BEAUTIFUL
Plentiful Rains Make Trees and Veg
citation Beautiful in Black Hills.

Deadwood, June 5.-Not in many
years have the Black Hills looked so
beautiful with green and foliage as
this summer. Every section has been
visited with copious rainfalls and
everywhere the growth Is remarkably
strong. Grazing has never been
known to be so good at this time of
year and all the hillsides are covered
and native hay crops this year will
break all records. The total rainfall
during the month of May varied
through the western part of the state
from two to five inches. 1t hindered
the planting but little and every sec
ton reports heavier planting than
ever before, particularly with alfalfa,
the first cutting of which will com
mence the end OF this week which is
two weeks earlier than usual.
In Meade county alone where
many of the new settlers of several
years ago left on account of the dry
years and are now returning, over
1000 acres more of alfalfa was plant
ed this year than previous years.
Each of the other Black Hills coun-
ties report similar increases in acre
age and indications tor the best crops
the western part of The state has ever
known are strong. 1t will require
but about one good rain this month
to assure the crops which are now
growing fast.
