YOUNG MITCHELL MAN DIES
WHEN GUN is DISCHARGED

Mitchell. S. D., April 12.-George w.
Winsor, son of F. Fl. Winsor, lawyer
and city alderman. is dead as the re-
suit of an accident which occurred mere
shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon. He had o n into the basement
of h home OF his brotherinlaw, DR..
g. G. Kimbail, a few rods distant from
his W home, to borrow some garden
tolls. A shot was heard and his sister
and the maid, running below, found the
young man expiring on the floor with
a bullet hole through his heart. The
revolver found e the body belonged
to DR.. kimball and had been hanging
In a holster on the wall.
1t is believed that Winsor was
handling the gun and that it became
accidentally discharged. Winsor, who
was % years of age, was one of the
most popular young men of the city
and had many friends all over the
state. He had entered the University
of Wisconsin early in the year for the
study of law, but had been forced to
return home recently on account of i'll
health.

STATE INSPECTION BUREAU
PREPARE FOR ACTIVITIES.

Nermilion, s. a., April 9.-At a meet
Ing OF the inspectors of the state food
n drug department, with the commits
sioner in the offices here, plans for the
inspection of school buildings in the,
state were discussed. The public
building inspection law makes this a
duty of the department, and in order
that those in charge Of such buildings
may know what the department will
consider safe in school buildings.
there will shortly be sent to all boards
OF education a circular outlining the
general requirement under this law.
other matters discussed at his meet
ing included plans for spring activity
in enforcing the sanitary food law,
means of controlling the traffic in rot
ten eggs. and many other topics con-
nected with the work of the depart
ment. Work under the sanitary food,
law Will be pushed with more vigor|
this year than ever before and the
inspectors will wage a continuous war
fare on flies, filth m dirt of all kinds.
In food handling establishments. The
results of the campaign last year for;
better eggs were very encouraging. and
this year 1t is expected that much more
will be accomplished. The action Of
the federal authorities in prohibiting
the shipment Of spots" and blood
ringers In interstate commerce will be
a great help in enforcing state food
laws relating to bad eggs.
inspectors attending this conference
were c. j. Hatch, Of Yankton; w. M.

Claimed He Transported Girl
From Sioux City to Geddes

erai grand jury, in session here, yester-
day returned an indictment against w.
Z. kfnser. landlord of the Padley no.
tel at Geddes, on a charge of white

ton of Frances Wilmott from Sioux
City to Geddes for immoral purposes.
The girl in the case was a witness.
kfnse was arrested several months
ago and arraigned before a United
states commissioner, who ordered him
held to the federal grand jury. A large
number of Geddes citizens were called
here as witnesses in the case, which has
attracted much comment throughout
the southern part Of South Dakota. The
complaint is said to have been due to
the claim that VIGOROUSLY immoral
conditions had been permitted in Ged-
des, causing many Of the citizens to
reach a determination to clean house"
kinser pleaded not guilty to the in
dictment returned against him and the
trial of the case will come up at this

suit Of a conversation overheard byf

four men, who We're following Parker
down a street in the western Fart of

feet long. The a. heard them say:
It's heavy enough all right; he'll be
a dead poet before morning. I hate tot
hu. It's got to be DONE" and similar rel
marks.

slst the police in locating the men.

have SO far eluded the officers.

pocket was one from Frank Cor Mark

young a who was apparently his
stepson, to try to sell his own poetry
TO magazines. n not expect M3Glynn
to do it for him. McGlynn gave his ad-

ROSEBUD RESIDENTS
THOROUGHLY WEAR|ED
FROM LONG BLOCKADE
Repeated Interruption of Train
Service By Snow Followed
BY Heavy Floods.

Dallas, S. D.. April 10~.--Though not
at war the Rosebud country has been
under siege for several months and
the citizens of this locality are thor
oughly wearied of the long strain.
With train service cut off for days at
a time during February and March on
account Of heavy SHOWS. a new chap
ter of annoyance is being added at the
present time on account of heavy
floods.
Warm weather set In decisively this
week, starting the snow, to the ac-
compartment Of about two inches of
rain. n the Rosebud country, though
naturally high and dry, is a region
of mud. water, slush and swollen
streams. Many farmers on lowlands
have been compelled to move stock to
more protected places. Scores of high
way n railroad bridges have been
washed out and there are numerous re-
ports Of lost stock, due to the sudden
rise in streams.
Train service between Winner and
Bonesteel has been abandoned and may
not be esumed for several days.
Workmen had just begun repairs on
three bridges owe Ponca creek, be-
tween Spencer II Anoka, when two
other railroad bridges went out. The
estimate from railroad sources is that
there is not likely to be any train
service from the east for about five
days.
In all of the time since this coun-
try was opened to settlement. 10 years
ago, there had been no previous trou-
Bile from snow blockades in winter.

HUGE ICE GORGE ALARMS
CITIZENS NEAR DRAPER

Draper. S. d., April 1O.-Ranchmen
and others along White river are
alarmed n anxious because Of the
forming Of an immense ice gorge in
the river neal Draper. The water in
the river has been rising for several
days and it is feared that unless the
gorge breaks, the lcwlands along the,
river will be flooded. Many ranchmen'
and homesteaders have their homes on
the bottoms and along that section of
the river. The ice gorge is said to
extend for a distance Of over 10 miles
along the river and for several days
has been assuming a more ominous
character. Already some of the resi-
dents of the lower lands have been
compelled by back water to seek
safety on higher ground. 1t is feared
that great damage will result should
the gigantic ice gorge give way at once
and sweep down the river. If the
gorge gradually breaks up there will
be no serious trouble. When the gorge
first commenced to form it was
planned to break it with dynamite, but
before arrangements could be made
the gorge had grown to such huge pro-
portions that dynamiting it Would
have been useless.

SUPPOSED MURDER CASE
NOW VIEWED AS ACCIDENT

Aberdeen. S. d.. April 10.-Roy Webb
and Alex Peterson, Of Chicago, arrested
at H%ettinger. N. D.. Wednesday even
ing as suspects in the New Parker
murder case, were brought here yester-'
day and examined before the board Of
inquisition. Both testified that they.
were with Parker and Billy Condor on
Monday afternoon preceding the kill
ing, and that they slept with Parker
in a strawstack near the stock yards
that night. Condor having left them
in the evening.
1t Is now believed Parker either had
an epileptic fit and fell from the train
or lost his hold. striking the ground
where the first pool of blood was dis
covered. In that case he must have
regained consciousness. crawled a dis
lance of 30 feet, mounted the en-
bankment to the tracks and fell un-
conscious on he tracks, where his BODY
lay until a freight from the west
struck him.
