UNFAIR DECISION BREAKS up
FOOTBALL GAME SATURDAY
SKINNER, A GOOD name!
GAME CALLED in THIRD QUARTER
WHEN HOT SPRINGS HAD VISITORS
PLAYED Off THEIR feet

Negotiations with Rapid City prior to
last Saturday arranged for a foot ball
game in this city on October 23rd. Hot
Springs favored an impartial referee
while Rapid City insisted on a ref cree
from their school and compromise re.
suited in Superintendent Fawell, of
this city, acting as referee the first half
and umpire the second half and Mr..
Skinner, which by the way is an ap-
propriate name. to be umpire the first
half and referee the second half.
The game Saturday with the Rapid
City high school opened with Hot
Springs winning the toss and receiving
the ball. Hot Springs returned the
kickoff about ten yards and then
started series of quick plays which
took Rapid completely off their feet.
After making the first down four times
Hot Springs lost the ball on the Rapid
twenty yard line.
After series Of plays Rapid punted
and Hot Springs returned the ball to
the center of the field and the first
quarter ended with the ball in Rapids
possession near the middle of the field.
The second quarter was a repitition of
the first except that Rapid managed to
get away with fake play and scored.
The rest of the half was spent by
Rapid trying to kill time. The Hot
Springs boys showed better training
and we're in excellent trim when the
half ended.
The next half started with Hot
Springs receiving and by series of
quick plays soon had the ball in the
danger zone. However Rapid had no
intention Of losing and as soon as Hot
Springs made good gain they were
penalized fifteen yards for pushing.
Altho the penalty was unjust the local
boys allowed it to prevent trouble.
Rapid then took the ball and made
a!play supposed to be a lateral pass but
which was distinctly forward pass.
The umpire at once blew his whistle
and called the referees attention to the
foul but he refused to recognize it say
ing that the umpire had no jurisdict-
ion.
Upon investigation it was found by
the rule book, first, that the referee had
Jurisdiction. Second, that in case OF
an illegal forward pass the referee il
making his decision shall recognize
and allow any penalty declared by
the umpire. Third, that the umpire
has jurisdiction over the defining of 6
foul.

THE WOLF OF NORTH AMERICA
A Few Facts About Wolf Pelts Worth
Knowing

A Few Facts About Wolf Pelts Worth
Knowing
Ii the sheep grower had his wish.
there would be no wolf in America.
The sheep grower thinks that the only
thing wolf was made for was to kill
sheep. The wolf must have some other
calling in life or the good book "missed
fire" when it said: "Nothing was made
in vain" "My opinion of it," says A.
B. Shubert, president Of A. B Shubert,
Inc., Chicago, U. 8. A, the largest
house in the world dealing exclusively
in American raw furs, is, "the wolf is
here to give UP the ghost and surrend-
er HE hide to the furrier, who, by the
way. makes good use of the good wolf
pelt, but has but little use for the poor
ones. The European war created an
outlet last year for the low grades for
coat Innings for the man behind the
gun and in the trench. The skin is
large and required but little work. 1t
answered the purpose. Seventy-flve
per cent Of the best grades of the COL
lection of the wolf of the northwest
are used in America. Our manu-
facturers know better how to use them
and our dyers dye them better than
the Eu' opeans. We make better and
more attractive articles out of wolf
than are produced elsewhere. The
balance of the world will some day
learn the lesson and Gao safely say
that the hide of mid-winter caught
wolf will then bring q much higher
price than the present one.
my house has always been the larg-
est handler of wolf in the country
principally as matter of sentiment
and expectation that the value of the
wolf pelt will some day be more ap-
preoisted."

FUNERAL SERVICES S-SKETCH

shook to this city and state to learn
that the RI Reverend George Biller,
Jr Episcopal bishop of the missionary
diocese of South Dakota, died sudden.
ly of heart failure at St. Mary's Mis-
sion, on the Rosebud Indian agency.
Friday evening at seven O'Clock.
Bishop Biller left this city on Wednes-
day of last week. feeling apparently
quite we'll, and went to the Rosebud
country to administer the rites of
confirmation and dedicate new church
edi6ces. He had been working very
strenuously this summer, as he always
did, and while his health was supposed
to be good, the many hsrdships Ill
cident to his missionary trips through
out the state brought about state of
exhaustion that resulted in fatal af-
fection Of the heart in the most un-
expected manner. Mrs. Biller was at
her home in this city when the sad
event took place.
Bishop Biller's Life
George Biller, Jr., was born in Lon
don in 1874. He came to the United
States when ave years Of age. and re-
ceived his first educational training at
st. Augustine's school, New York City,
and later on. attended the University
of Lincoln.
In 1898 he graduated from the
Episcopal Bsrkeley Divinity school at
Middletown, Connecticut. With him in
that class was Bishop f. F., Johuson,
the successor of Bishop Hare, now
coadjutor of the bishop of Missouri.
After his graduation, the young theo.
logical student was ordained cese, by
his bishop, Rt. Rev E 8. Lines, who was
here and took part in his conservation
as bishop of South Dakota three years
ago. He then went to Indian territory,
and was ordained to the Episcopal
priesthood by the bishop of Oklahoma,
Rt. Rev. F. K. Brooks, who preached
the consecration sermon for Bishop
Biller here in 1912.
After five years Of srduous labors in
the west, Bishop Biller went to New
York city where he was made vicar Of
the parish of the Incarnation. He did
q fine work there and remained with
that parish till he was called to become
vicar of Calvary Cathedral in this city.
to succeed DR.. Cornell, who went to
California for his health. He began
his work here the first Sunday in May,
1908.
On Easter Sunday, in 1909, Bishop
Hare conferred upon the young vicar
all the rights and privileges of the po-
sition of dean of the cathedral, and he
became practically the head of Calvary
parish. In April, 1912, the house of
bishops chose Bishop Biller as the bis
hop of the missionary diocese of South
Dakota. According to the usage of the
Episcopal church, the choice was rati
fed by all the Episcopal dioceses in
the United States. In June of the same
year. the bishop elect formally accept
ed the honor conferred upon him, and
he was consecrated in Calvary cathed-
raj on September 18, 1912 This oc-
casion was one of the most noteworthy
in the religious history Of the state.

PAYMENTS ON WAR

JUNE BY ENGL'D

London, Oct q, 1o.55 A. M.-There was
unusual activity at the Bank Of Eng
land today, owing to payments on the
last instalment of the Il per cent war
loan issued in June The last day for
the conversion OF. consols and the old
81 per cent war loan into the new loan
falls four days hence, and arrangements
were made whereby subscribers could
pay in advance with post dated checks.
No Official announcement has been
made regarding the form which new
government borrowing will take. Some
indication is seen in financial circles,
however, in the recent efforts to keep up
money rates. 1t is believed that as a
means of financing the war temporarily
the government will issue treasury bills
made attractive by a slightly higher in
terest rate. These. it is thought. will
be followed later by emissions Of ex-
chequer bonds running one to three
years.
