TWO YEAR-OLD CHILD
FALLS INTO WELL As
FEET DEEP; RESCUED
Unconscious When Drawn to
Surface, But Restored by
First Aid Work.

Carter s. D., Sept. 15.--Falling into
well As feet deep, and containing %
feet OF water, little Mercedes Tonner,
two-year-old daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Tonner, survived the exper-
lence, apparently without permanent
injury of any kind.
The child was missed by it's mother
and a serch about the premises failed
70 find her until Mr.. Tonner's father,
on nearing the barn, heard faint means
coming from the interior and the
thought of the open well inside flashed
in his mind and he entered the building
in frantic haste and his fears were real
lied. The child was in the well.
The alarm was given and plans were
hurriedly made to rescue her from
drowning. Chas. Black was at this mo-
ment passing the farm In his car and
he was hailed to assist In the work. A
strong hook and rope was soon tmpro-
vised and lowered and by good fortune
the first try securely caught the child's
and out. Her little form was rigid, and
she was unconscious.
All aid possible was Immediately
given and restoratives administered,
while DIR. G. o. Reed. who had in the
mean time been summoned, arrived and
by good work soon restored her to con-
seriousness. Considerable water had
been taken in the lungs, but aside from
this there were no bruises or other
hurts found and the child Is now en-
tirely recovered from her terrible ex-
perience.
The well ts IS feet deep and containes
rs feet Of water and is Is inches In
diameter.

to go to Pierre and personally go into
the matter with the governor and
commission.
1t was decided that IL the protests
now pouring into Pierre from all
parts of the state do not produce the
desired effect It would be advisable to
call a special meeting OF the South
Dakota Bankers association to meet
at Pierre, and act on the ruling, which
IL Is claimed will work great hardship
and bring about complications In the
extending OF proper credits to custo-
mers OF the banks.
Recently a meeting or the bankers

MORE BANKERS PROTEST ON
NEW LOCAL RESERVE ORDERS

Aberdeen. SD. Sept 11.---At a meet
ing OF the bankers OF the northern part
Of the state, held In Aberdeen, action
was taken In opposition to the order Of
the state banking department. re-
quiring that so per cent Of the re-
serves OF all state banks be kept In
South Dakota state banks. Fifty -one
bankers in this section Of the state,
mostly interested In state banks, at
tended the n1Neting. .r.... ill., q
J. G. BasseSS, president of the Aber-
deem National bank and South Da-
kota member of the federal reserve
board for the night district, presided
at the meeting. Mr.. Lien, a member
OF the guaranty board attended the
meeting and explained the order, at
tempting to Justify the departments
action.
After Mr.. LIENS address, an old
fashioned experience meeting was held
In which practically every banker pres
ent participated and the practically
unanimous sentiment OF the bankers
appeared to be that the new rule would
disrupt established relations.
A committee, composed OF Messrs.
Watkins, Verlander, Mather, Meyers and
Bark, was appointed to draft resolu-
lions protesting against the proposed
action OF the department and instruct
ing them, OF as many OF them as could
60, to take the memorial thus prepared
to the governor and the bank examiner
and voice in person the objections
found to the proposed rule. 7
