Tuesday, February 16, 1915, will be a day long remembered by officers and stockholders, as well as many citizens of Nogales, who witnessed the breaking of ground for the International Gas Company'S mammoth new plant on Grand avenue.
 Just as the gas plant whistle sounded at five o'clock in the af ternoon, Tuesday, three flags, American.

SAVES HIS HIDE.

Senator J. A. Harrison is back from three weeks visit at San Diego. Ensenada, Lower Cal ifornia and on the high sea. He reports having had most in teresting, as well as strenuous trip, both going and coming. However, he was treated with every consideration by the diff ferent warning factions and not only saved his 'hides," but made a nice piece of money. The hides were part of the 'Mazatlan" cargo of which the press has recently made con- siderable mention. A telegram from Senator Mark Smith last Wednesday, stated that the Ma zatlan was still held at Ensenada, but orders had been given for the release of the senator's COW hides.

TOWN HALL DEDICATED.
Handsome New Structure a Credit to
 Noga1es.

The handsome new town hall of Nogales was formally dedicat ed last Monday, February 18th, Admission Day, by appropriate ceremonies, in which the entire community participated.
 The ceremonies commenced at 3:3O by a fife department drill l., and at four o'clock the dedica- tion ceremonies were held on the balcony with an appropriate ad dress by Mayor l.. w. Mix. the Father of the Fire Depart menu" to whom Contractor Ed ward Burton of Burton & Son, turned over the keys to the elegant new structure. The Mayor accepted the keys and thanked Mir. Burton for the splendid manner in which he had fulfilled his contract.
 The Mayor then turned the keys over to Chief of the Fire Department Bracey Curtis, who presented them to B. K. Cum ming, President of the Santa Cruz Club.
 In his address, Mayor Mix gave an interesting short history of the Nogales Fire Department, and spoke feelingly of the old pioneers, both living and dead. who organized the department. which is today one of the best in the entire state. The list in cluded pr. Doherty, Ed. Hogan, Richard H. Clarke, A. l.. Peck, Col. Roy and Theo Gebler.
 Mayor Mix stated that the , handsome new town hall built by the Nogales Fire Department, Inc, on town property, at a cost of thirty thousand dollars, would some day belong to Nogales, al most as a gift from the present owners. To MT. Bracey Curtis, the Mayor paid a high compli ment for the moral and financial ly support that gentlemen had given the town hall proposition from start to finish.
 After music by the Twelfth Infantry band, Judge Frank J. Duffy delivered an address on Admission Day." ir his usual pleasing manner. The speaker congratulated the Fire Depart ment, NogaIes, Santa Cruz cOun- ty, and in fact the whole state of Arizona, upon the completion of Nogaies' new town hall; also the men who made the long desired building a reality.
 Those who occupied seats on the balcony with Mayor Mix, were members of the common council, Fire Chief Curtis, As sistant Fire Chief Clagett, Fore men Noon and Renshaw, Pre- sident Cumming of the Santa Cruz Club, Contractor Burton, Theo. Gebler.
 After Judge Duffy's address, the Mayor invited everybody to inspect the hall. They did, and all expressed surprised delight with the handsome building. The band played Its Long Way to Tipperary," and dancing was enjoyed until it was time to go home for dinner.
 The grand ball, free for-all, in the magnificent Santa Cruz Club hall, was the crowning social event of the season, and will long be pleasantly remembered by all who attended. It was a fit ting ending of a Red Letter Day in Greater Nogales' history.
 The flag and electric light decorations, throughout the big building, thanks to the Com mittee and to Supt. Faust of the N. E. l.. & w. O., were very beautiful and worthy of special mention, as was the sweet music by the 12th Infantry orchestra.

DECLARES BLACK CAT
.HOODOOED AUTOMOBILE
Animal Crossed Road In Front
of Car and Things Happened
Proof Enough.

Hudson, S. D., Nov. 15.-There are
those who regard tie "queering' quail
tiles Of black cats as established sci
ence, rather than superstition. Peter
Hegness, OF Hudson, is not inclined to
superstition-not the least-but he
feels sure that black cats can do I'M
canny things, even to an automobile.
Mr.. Hegness and Oscar Hall, q
friend, decided to take an automobile
trip to Elk Point. On the way down.
between Chatsworth and Akron,
black cat run across the road. At that
time Hegness remarked to his compan"
ion that something would surely hap
pen. The journey to Elk Point was
made without further incident.
On the return trip to Hudson, the
car was not working right and Heg-
ness, although possessed Of consider
able ingenuity, could not discover what
the trouble was. He had momentarily
forgotten about the black cat episode.
However, the incident Of the cat was
forcibly recalled to the minds Of the
two men, for. when the car reached
the exact spot in the road where Kitty
had crossed their path, IL suddenly
stopped and refused to go any far
Their. Then 1t was discovered that the
oil feed pipes had burned out and that
the babbeting had all burned out OF
the bookings.
The car, in fact, was in a terrible
state-so bad, that 1t had to be pulled
to the nearest town by team of horses
supplied by a nearby farmer. The au-
tomobile required extensive repairs and
the two men had to return to Hudson
on a railway train.

COURT SAYS CITY DID
NOT ACT FAIR IN ITS
BET WITH CONTRACTOR
Went Beyond Specifications to
Construct Sewer Joint That
Would Not Leak.

Madison, s. D., Nov. 13.-That the
city of Madison took unfair advantage
OF Meeks & Dobson in a 81 .0s1 wager.
posted between the two, Is the sum and
substance Of a decision handed down
by Justice Gates OF the state supreme
court, when he reversed the findings
Of the lower court and ordered the case
Of Meeks & Dobson VS.. the city of Mad
ison back for a new trial
The plaintiffs in this acGion were
contractors, who constructed a sewer
system for the city upon plans and
specifications furnished by the city
engineer. When the work was finished
Ii was found that one section OF the
sewer leaked at the joints. The city
held back the sum Of $1,0S1 In settle
ment.
A wager was posted between the
contra ctors and the city that the sew
er could not be constructed on the spe-
rifications without leaking at the :
Joints. An agreement was made where
by If the city could construct non
leaking sewer following the specifica-
lions, the contractors would forfeit the
k1,0S1. The city spent $3.50 on the
work and used concrete bands and beV- i
els to make the joints tight, these not
being ordered in the specifications.
The contractors brought suit in cir
cuit court, but were decided against.
The supreme court has held in their
favor, and n new trial Is ordered I'M
less the city will pay the money in
Volved in the action.

ILLUSTRATING WASTE ON
AVERAGE WESTERN FARM

Bookings, s. D., Nov. 1S.-The tre-
mendous waste on the average western
farm is illustrated in the following
statement by Prof. G. Larsen, of State
college: d.
some time ago a prominent Euro
pean authority visited South Dakota
and ! had the privilege Of showing him
around. AS we drove by a field OF corn
stalks he asked: Tell me, are those
maize stalks very good for feed% was
obliged to tell him that about 40 per
cent Of the food value OF corn is In,
the stalk. With an air Of surprise he.
replied: The American farmers APP
parently are very extravagant. They
burn oat straw, which we think is all
most as good as hay for our dairy
cows, and they waste nearly half of
the corn crop .-..
There was much truth in his state
ment. We pillow the ground, prepare
the seed bed, plant and cultivate the
corn for the 40 per cent in the stalk
Just as we'll as for the go per cent in
ears. When all this labor has been ex-
erted, why should we not preserve and
utilize the stalk as well as the ear by
storing it in the silo?"

JOSEPH ELLIS, PIONEER OF
CHARLES MIX COUNTY, DEAD

Wheeler S. D.. Nov. 17.-At the
family residence in this (Charles Mix
county occurred the death of Joseph
Ellis, one Of the best known pioneers
of Dakota territory. He was over SO
years of age and is survived by a
widow, a daughter and a son. He was
a veteran of the civil war and was one
of the charter members Of General
Sheridan post, G. A. r., OF Geddes.
Mr.. Ellis first saw Charles Mix coun-
ty in 1854, when but 10 years Of age. At
that time he was soldier in the
regular army, stationed at Fort Pierre,
and his official duties at times took
him over the territory now included
in Charles Mix county. He also served
three years in the Dakota cavalry, be-
ing a member of the company COM
manded by Captain Miner.
- He accompanied General Sully to
DEVILS Lake N. D., and from there
went to Fort Randall and engaged in
the wood business. In those days
there were a large number of wood
burning steamers plying on the Mis-
souri, river, and he did a profitable
business selling them wood. Early in
the '70s he squatted on a homestead
near the Missouri river, and in 1879,
when President Hayes issued an ex-
ecutive order opening a large tract Of
Indian land in Charles Mix county to
settlement. Mr.. Ellis made a regular
homestead entry and proved up on his
land the same day, having resided on
1t more than five years as a squatter.

MANY SMALL HOLDINGS
REPLACE FORMER BIG HERDS

Pierre, S. D., Nov. 13.-The cattle
movement for the western part Of the
state for this fall appears to be about
equally divided between the lin" and
"out" shipments. The shipments to
market are heavier than for any year
since the breaking up of the big herds,
with the difference that the shipments
now are composed of small lots, rang
ing generally one or two cars for each
shipper instead OF whole trainloads
sent out by one man or company. This
Is the result of changed conditions,
where the cattle are held in small
punches and cared for in winter instead
of being allowed to run the range and
take chances on pulling through. While
the shipments out mean q nice income
to each of many small farmers. the
shipments in show that there is a de-
mand for young stuff to take the place
Of the older stock going out, and the
owners of the small herds are keeping
them up in number by the purchase of
young stuff to take the place of their
marketable shipments.

DANTE MAN HELD FOR
WIFE'S DEATH; SAID
She WAS STRANGLED
John Hanzel, the Accused Hus-
band, Is 70 Years of Age
Couple Quarreled.

Dante. S. D., Nov. 17.-Mrs. Mary
Hanzel, 20 years of age, residing on
the outskirts of this town, is alleged
to have been killed by strangulation.
The husband, John HanZel, has been
arrested and held for Investigation in
connection with the crime, due to
statements and admissions made by
him.
The coroner's jury reported as fol-
lows:
THAT Mary Hanzel came to her
death by strangulation by means or
small rope being drawn tightly around
the neck and throat in the hands of
some person or persons to the jury
unknown, and that same was done
with felonious intent"
News of the crime became known
when Hanzel appeared on the street
and told his soninlaw that he had
slapped his wife and that she was
asleep. The soninlaw and other rela-
tives living in the vicinity became
alarmed and went to the Hanzel home,
where the body of the woman was
found on a bed.
A severe bruise found on the right
temple and right eye, a slight cash on
the left side OF the nose and the i'm
print of a rope around her neck were
indications how she had been killed.
A piece of rope about Is inches long
was found noosed near the bed.
Neighbors declare that during the
past two months they had noticed evil
dences that the old mans mind was
beginning to fall. IT is said that for
some weeks Hanzel and his wife had
quarreled frequently, and this may
have been due to his alleged failing
mental condition.

WINGFIELD SAYS APPEAL
KNOCKS OUT INJUNCTION

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 17.-In a
statement made here Public Examiner
J. L. Wingfeld, who issued the order
requiring state banks to deposit a part
Of their legal reserve funds in state
banks designated by the state bank
ing department, maintains that an ap-
peal just taken by his department acts
as a stay Of execution of the restrain
ing order.
He says: This means that the re-
straining orders will not be in force
unless the supreme court shall sustain
the ruling Of the circuit court, and
the public examiner may, in the mean
time, proceed with the due enforcement
Of the law, and state banks failing to
comply with the lawful rulings and
orders of the public examiner do so
at their peril"
Should this prove true, so far as II
relates to the appeal acting as a stay
to the restraining orders. It is safe to
predict that the attorneys for the four
national banks OF Sioux Falls, which
secured the restraining order. will
again go into court in a further effort
to restrain the public examiner from
putting into effect his order In refer
ence to deposits of legal reserves in
state reserve banks.

SOUTH DAKOTA CITIES ARE
AFTER JEFFERSON HIGHWAY

Yankton, S. D., Nov. 13.-The Jeffer-
son highway is a great north and south,
transcontinental auto road, which the
chamber of commerce of New Orleans
is promoting from the Queen city to
Winnipeg. The Yankton Commercial
association is cooperating with the Alb
erdeen Commercial club to induce the
New Orleans people to route the road
through South Dakota, via Sioux City.
Yankton. Utica, Lesterville, Scotland,
Mitchell, Huron, Redheld and Aberdeen
and through North Dakota by Glendale,
jamestown, Devils Lake and north.
This route is 504 miles in length,
from Sioux City to Winnipeg. while a.
more easterly route, directly north, Is
81 miles shorter, but the Yankton line
follows the easy water level of the,
Missouri and the Jim, whereas the
other route crosses higher elevations.
