VAN BENTHUYSEN
WINS AT CHICAGO
MITCHELL HIGH SCHOOL STAR
CAPTURES MILF RUN IN IN
TERSCOLASTlC MEET IN
1884.

Harry van Benthuysen. captain Of
the Mitchell high school track. and
its individual star, won first place in
the mile run at the fourteenth inter-
scholastic track and field meet at the
University OF Chicago on Saturday at
ternQon. His time was 4 minutes
and "a seconds.
In the meet a year ago the Nit
chell youngster took second place in
the mile event, which was run in 4
minutes and SO seconds, two seconds
slower than this year. He has the
distinction of winning every event
he has entered in track meets this
spring. He was a member of the all
star team of eight track men sent
from South Dakota high schools to
the Chicago meet.
While proud Of the showing of
Young van Benthuysen at Chicago
Saturday, his friends and the athletic
fans of Mitchell regret that his grad
uation from the high school this
month and the fact that his father,
Prof. S. d. q Benthuysen, will be
a memebr of the faculty at the State
college at Brobkings next year, will
mean he will run under Brookings
colors the next four years. He had
been looked upon as a future Wes-
lesan star.
The Chicago meet was won by the
La Grange high school, of Chicago,
with &c points. In the pole vault, a
new interscholastic worlds record of
- feet, 71-2 inches was set by
Graham, of University high school,
of Chicago. The half-mile was run
in 1853 and the quarter mile in 81 1T
seconds. OF the 1876 schools entered
in the meet, SO scored a place.

AUTOS IN
S. D.. THIS YEAR
THIS MEANS APPROXIMATELY
ONE CAR TO EVERY FOURTH
FAMlLY IN THE STATE.

Pierre, S. D.--Twenty-one thous-
and seven hundred automobiles have
been registered in South Dakota so
far in 1916, and there are a number
OF machines not yet carrying the
black and yellow numbers of the year
1t is estimated that the registration
will go to fully thirty thousand be-
fore the close of this year. Fourteen
hundred motorcycles have been reg
istered to date for the year.
If there are 10000 cars in South
Dakota, that would mean one auto
mobile to eevry four families in the
state. 1t also will mean that the
number of cars in the state has al
most doubled in a year.

VICTORY on EAST FRONT
GOES TO TEUTON ARMIES.

London, England.-Germany has
won another decided success along
the eastern line. Northwest of Mos.
ciska in the region of Sieniawa, the
German report said that along q line
extending over AS miles the entire
positions of the Russians were taken
and that 10000 prisoners fell into
their hands. The Russian official re-
port. however, only mentioned the
locality where this action is said to
have occurred and a paragraph which
declared that the Austro-Germans,
after heavy losses in the region OF
Mosciska Friday and Saturday, did
not resume the offensive.
According to Petrograd the Aus
tro-Germans have made another
crossing of the Dneister where a
brilliant cavalry charge at Yale
Czozyky resulted i'll a local Russian
success, but nc claim is made that
the invaders were pushed back across
the river. A crossing of the river
at this place may not be a serious af-
fair for the Russians as it is remote
from Lenberg and an advance from
it might expose the Austro-Germans'
flank.
