ably situated In the foot hills
on the sunny southern slope
Of the Black Hills. 1t IS the junction
point of the Hot Springs branch Of the
Chicago and North Western Railway
and thirteen miles from The National
Health Resort, Hot Springs, S. ID. In
the early eighties 1t was for a short
time the terminus OF the Northwestern
Line and at that time was important
as a distributing point for all points in
the northern hills.
It has at present a population OF 80
inhabitants, a good grade school, Com

is nothing less than marvellous that
cockatoos can be trained by kindness
to act as a fire company, respond to
the fire call, raise the ladders against
the burning building, climb them, turn
over the water tank and put out the
fire. Prof. P~amahasika, recognized as
Americas most successful animal and
bird educator, mote that word,-fOr

kindness, but trained" by fear) is the
only one in the United States as far
as we know that has accomplished
this remarkable result. One Of the
birds carries an American flag in its
bill across the stage keeping perfect
march time. Another gives four others
a ride in the Ferris wheel: another
takes the baby bird for a ride in the
baby buggy another plays on a minia-
ture organ, etc.
The wonderful intelligence of these
little creatures is almost beyond
belief. Cats, dogs, canary birds,
monkeys, pigeons, doves, cockatoOs
and macaws, would not generally get
along well together but the fifty mem

IN FLORIDA COUNTY
Assassin Takes Life Of
Columbia Farmer
KILLED AS HE SLEPT
Officers Trying to Ran Down Some
Clew AS to Who Killed Oscar
Keene-Wss Slain, 1t Is Thought,
With His Own Gun While Hunting.

Officers are closely following every
possible clew to the identity of the
murderers Of Oscar Keene, n Column
bia county farmer, whose body was
discovered near bis farm in the Itch.
tuchnee Springs section. A number
of shots had been fired into the left
side of the neck, passing through
into the ground, giving evidence that
he was attacked probably while
asleep.
The coroner's jury returned YER
dict that the deceased had come &c
his death Mt the hands of some UNI
known parties.
The murder was committed in the
afternoon, the body being found
about three and half miles from the
spring the next morning after an all
night search by friends.
Mr.. Keene accompanied his wife
and children and two other ladies tc
the spring, where they were to en-
joy bath. He left them there, go
ing to hunt hogs. When Mrs. Keene
returned to her home after the bath
and her husband failed to appear by
nightfall she became alarmed, having
heard shooting while the party was at
the springs. She notified neighbors
and search was instituted.
Beside the body was found Mr.
Keene's shotgun and several empty
shells. Wounds in the neck indicate |
that it was not suicide, as physicians
declare he could not have held the
weapon in such a position. 1t is be. |
lieved an enemy crept upon him either
while he slept, as he may have be-
come tired and laid down to rest, OF
someone wrested his gun from him
and used it as Il murder weapon.
