BOY DocToRED SELF AFTER
BEING BIT az RATTlEE

Rockerville, s. D., June 26.-The
presence Of mind OF George Kieffer, q
1~S-year-old boy employed o. the Nor
ris ranch, near Rockerville, saved his
life after he had been struck by the
fangs of q monster rattlesnake. Be-
fore giving himself first aid the boy at
tackled and killed the snake and Sc
cured the rattles as a momento Of the
adventure. The boy discovered the
snake under a large rock, and was try
ing to pry the rock away so he could
get at the snake when the stick broke
and he fell almost upon the reptile.
The fangs OF the snake struck him just
below the knee. The boy, instead Of
becoming excited and running for home,
killed the reptile, as stated. and then
tied his leg above where the fangs had
entered, utilizing his shoestrings and
carriers, which he twisted as tight as
he could with a nail. He then walked
half a mile to the house. The father
OF III boy was summoned and imme-
diately cut a cash In the boys leg at
the point where the fangs had pene-
trated and kept the leg under water,
working out the poison. There was
little for a physician to do when he
reached the scene.

RUSSIAN STAFF CLAIMS
- ARMY CAN NOW HOLD OWN

Petrograd, June %, (via London.)-
Officers of the Russian general staff
now state that they have satisfactorily
achieved the regrouping Of their forces
'necessitated by the German Galician
campaign and that they stand ready
effectively to oppose a further advance
OF the Austro-G German forces in Galicia
or in southern Russia.
The Gnila Lipa river. ia which the
Russian forces have retired flows
south from above Rohatyn. provides
admirable facilities for defense.
Fifteen miles further eastward the
ZeIota Pipa, paralleling the Gnila Lipa,
the Russians believe. would offer even
n stronger obstacle to the enemy, since
II is supported. with a good railroad
line.
The most important point Of the
present front is that portion OF the
Vistula, Just north OF the river San.
Here the Germans r attempting to
force the river and flank the Russian
positions along the Tanew, which have
successfully resisted frontal attack.
The wooded approach to the river here
allows the Germans to conceal their
batteries. but up to Saturday no real
advantage has been gained by the Ger
mans. a
The Importance of this move is well
recognized by the Russians, since, II
successful. Il would unite the German
forces on both sides OF the Vistula river
with those operating on the Tanew
front.
German activity appears to be lin.
tied at present to the Dniester and
Vistula rivers. In the regions OF Lem
berg no serious fighting has been re-
ported.

DEPUTY SHERIFF OF
BRULE COUNTY QUITS
FOR BRYANIC REASON
Finds Himself Out Of Harmony
With Sheriff on Issues of
Foreign War.

Kimball, s. D., June 30-The Euro.
pean war has busted up" the official
family of Sheriff Henry Herrlein, OF
Brule county. and one of his chief dep
uties, dissatisfied with the pro-German
expressions OF his chief. being himself
a partisan of the allies, hal resigned his
office by filing with the sheriff n OF
the most remarkable designations on
record. The retiring deputy also an
nouRce that he will be q candidate for
sheriff to succeed Sheriff Herrfein, n
h prospect is that the chief issue OF
the campaign will be the European
war. The retiring deputy, w. B. Hark-
er, OF Kimbali, will endeavor to rally
the anti-German voters of h county
for the purpose OF bringing about the
political downfall OF his former chief.
The resignation, which is worthy OF be-
ing classed as perhaps the most unique
document of its kind ever filed in South
Dakota. is in part as follows:
A your deputy / have earnestly
and conscientiously endeavored to dis
charge the duties attached Herewith.
In accordance with your policies, n
attempted in all my acts and utterances
to maintain strict and impartial nep-
trality In the present conflict raging be-
tween Germany, England and other
powers. l feel. however, that as a mem
Der OF your official family i should not
be held answerable for recent utter
ances of yours, which were sadly detri-
mental to England and England's king.
I feel further that as a member of your
Official family / must curb my tongue
In respect to Germany's submarine pol
Icy, which has resulted in the loss of
so many American lives, and II I re-
turn h commission you have honored
me with, l can, as a private citizen,
express In my own weak way my attn
tude on these propositions. / realize
that your aspirations, as well as mine,
are to insure a lasting peace, and for
this we can both work, though perhaps
from different angles, you as a trusted
and respected peace officer, and I as
a private citizen. Though our opinions
may seriously conflict we can take con-
ISOLATION in the fact that our ultimate
aims are identical"

TELEGRAPH COMPANY HELD
LIABLE FOR SENDING ERROR

Armour, s.. D., June 26-The Western
Union Telegraph company is held fl
nancially for an error In transmitting
a message In a judgment just af-
firmed by the state supreme court.
In 1904 James Carbon, of Armour, sent
q telegram to Miles, Ia, reading AS fol-
lows: "Offer car three white oats, IS
your track. Answer" When the tele-
gram was delivered It read 40, instead
of 45. The offer was accepted by wire
and III car Of oats shipped, and Mr..
Carton was forced to settle for 40 cents
per bushel. instead of 10 cents. Demand
was made or the company for payment
of the difference, amounting to 500. 26.
The company refused payment, claim
Ing that, by reason Of the printed con-
ditions or the back of the telegram re-
lieving the company from liability I'M
less the message was repeated at the
expense of the sender, they were not
liable.
The liability Of the company was first
tested by demurrer, based upon the
printed matter on the back of the tele-
gram. Judge Trip held this to be
against public policy and therefore
void. The company then dropped that
phase OF the case and took up other
questions. The case was finally tried
to a jury, in November, 1913, resulting
In a verdict for the plaintiff for the full
amount, from which the APP
pealed to the supreme court. In the
decision just rendered by the supreme
court the judgment OF the circuit court
Is affirmed In all things.
