SOUTH DAKOTA

In the Flatnead Indian reservation,
near Camas, Mont, Is an artesian we'll
containing hot mineral water, said to
be the only one in the world. Around
1t, within a mile, are other artesian
wells In which the water Is clear and
cool. A few years ago the govern
ment threw open the Flathead reser-
walton, and those who were success
full in the drawing now own n
ranches in a fertile valley. Artesian
wells have been struck at a depth
ranging from 80 to 365 feet. In the
summer of 1913, on a ranch within a
mile of one of these cold wells, drillers
were at work when, at the depth Of 244
feet, hot water gushed upward with
such force that the drillers were forced
to flee. In a few days the rush of hot
water had washed a large hole, with
the drill still in, though incapacitated.
The we'll was finally curbed so that it
could be used. The water is 1870 Fab
renheft. flowing at the rate of 60 bar

TWO TREASURERs' BONDS
WITHIN LEGAL IMITc

Pierre, s. D., May attorney
General Caldwell has returned from the
Black Hills. where on his own motion
the state treasurer interest case against
the Kirk G. Phillips estate was dis
missed, ecaus Caldwell believes the
statute of limitations made action in
thls case impossible now. He also is
about the possibility of getting action
IN the Treasurer Schamber case, but
feels certain that the Collins and Cas-
Sill cases may be brought into action
now. The reason for this is that the
bonds Of the various treasurers had
seals In some cases, but no seals in
others. The statute of limitations
against a sealed instrument is 20 years.
and for al instrument without a seal it
Is six years. The bonds of Collins and
Cassil both had seals, which places
them clearly inside the legal limit.
while those of Phillips and Schamber
did not have seals. causing an expira-
ton Of rights in these cases.

themselves: What next?"
What Does 1t Mean?
what is the German government

Although this government will treat
the Gulflight affair calmly and aeilb-
erately, it is plain that Such acts as
his cannot be tolerated indefinitely
Pending the development of the Of
fetal facts, however, no action WILL De

Is regarded as a very serious matter
and as one calling for representations
to be made to the German government
by the United States.
In official circles it was thought the
inquiry probably would disclose the
fact that the attack on the Amer
lean vessel was an accident and not
sidered likely that no action would
be taken by the American govern
ment beyond a demand for damages.
Strict Accounting Expected.

President Wilson will reserve judg-
ment on the torpedoing of the Ameri-
can steamer Gulflight until fun of

On the face Of the news dispatches
officials admit that the attack on the

ton shall be made and that no hasty
action should be taken.

Kiesz had rented d farm owned by

the trouble arose over this farm. Tom
disapproved of the rental of the farm
owned by Mrs. KiesZ, his motherinlaw
by kiesz. and, it is alleged, on the day
OF the killing he went to Kiesz's farm,
armed with a pick handle, and attacked
kiesz. Kiesz had Deer warned of
threats Tom had made and, when Tom
appeared, pick handle in hand, he pre-
pared to defend himself.
In the fight hat followed, Tom
seized Keisz by the throat, and, in
breaking away, Keisz grabbed the pick
handle from Tonn and struck Tom on
the head. In the struggle, both men
fell to the ground, with Tom under
