A
DECLARED ACCIDENT

Aberdeen, S. D.-The coroner's
jury in the inquest over the body
OF w. G.. Ledingham, the veteran
travelling salesman who was accident
ally killed in the local Milwaukee
yards last Saturday morning, after
examining a number OF persons near
the scene of the accident, returned
a verdict of accidental death. The
most prevalent theory concerning
the accident is that the dead man
stepped on the train and slipped on
the metal steps and fell into the
open trap in the vestibule of the
train, between the rear coach and
the one just ahead. 1t is thought
his Goa caught on some obstruction,
and this caused him to fall beneath
the wheels, the coat holding him
fast as he was dragged for a dis
lance of 90 yards and pounded to
pieces.

that the officials of South Dakota get

While h bill has not yet come in for
the creation of a thirteenth circuit in

II no general agreement, can be

more numerous than they should be.

Ina they are cut Off from the rest OF
the state by the Missouri river and
the railway systems in that part OF
the state, in fact are by business and
social relations more a part OF Ne

that the state should give them re-

young people to attend South Dakota

amateurs and five professionals. OF
the amateurs ten shot their way into
the 90 per cent class. j. Potter White
of Watertown, long a star has taken
the leadership in the amateur ranks
with an average of 1884 on $3.50
targets. There was a tie for second
place between Roy Patterson OF Nit

breaking 1888. The professional
leader was George Kreger of Redfield
who averaged .9463."
