DAKOTA OFFERS SITE

federal Officers to Be Told of
westinghouse Report on
Little Bend.

Pierre. S. D.. May 1s.-The passage
of the greater army bill. which places
500 900, 900 in the hands of the presi-
dent for the location and development
OF a government nitrate plant, is of
first interest in South Dakota and a
strong movement is being in%augurated
to present. through our congressional
delegation, the advantages of the Lit
tie Bend w site for such develop
ment. The Westinghouse people, who
made an examination of Little Bend in
1911, reported that a 45-foot head is
possible there, which, from the average
flow of the Missouri, will produce 100,-
600 horsepower, counting SIS per cent
of thee efficiency of the turbines. The
force of the state engineers office is
formulating the material as rapidly as
possible for the presentation Of the
project to the president.
1t is understood the president will
place the matter of location in the hands
of a board of army engineers and will
be entirely guided by the judgment OF
such board, quite free from political in
fuence, and, in that case, Little Bend
will have a tremendous advantage.

Mobridge. S. d., May 22.-Bankers
who attended the meeting of group ~

ton of the old pioneer days.
There were two automobile loads of

huge boulder and cried, hands up"
The bankers unloaded. James Lam
berton of Sioux Falls was told to place
ms hat on the ground, and then the
occupants of the automobile were re-
quested to place their watches ana
money in the hat. Then T%reloar, as
the hat, displayed his excellent marks
nanship by pumping lead into each
com as 1t was dropped.
After the collection. Treloar ordered
Lamberton to drive him southwark in
n of the cars. The Sioux Falls man
under way, the sheriff of Walworth
county and a deputy appeared in a
Ford. AS soon as they got into range,
the outlaw opened fire, and the bank
ers witnessed as interesting "a pistol
duel as they had ever seen in the

And 1t was not until the bandit"

some time a good sized city.
Many buildings could be dis
tinctly seen, with trains passing
to and fro, even the smoke be-
ing visible. One point that
might identify the city was the
appearance Of a good sized
dome on one large building. 1t

the city seen in the clouds was
Sioux City, Sioux Falls, Mitchell
