DISTRICT AFTER CONTEST
is TIED.

After one of the most exciting
contests in the history OF Dawson
county politics. Charles +. Grady has
finally been returned winner over
l.. Il. Lowrie in the race for commits
sioner from the Second district. The
recount. which was finished last
night by the special board, showed
Mr.. Grady finally in the lead by the
margin of one vote.
The race has gone to one man and
then to the other two distinct times.
The first reports indicated that Mr.
Grady had won, but Mr.. Lowrie's
heavy vote in Lisbon and Prosper
townships swung the lead To him on
the unofficial count, the Vote stand
ing 225 to 224.
When the canyassng board met a
few days later, an error was discov-
cred which added vote to Grady's
total and left the two men tied at
225 votes. A recount was ordered
and the date set was yesterday.
The first error detected was in
Lowrie's favor but the final figures
took two off his total and gave the
election to Grady by the vote of 224
to 223 The figures by townships are:
Ethan, Grady. 80, Lowrie 50; Rome,
SIS to 40; Tobin, 90 to 60; Prosper,

Draper. S D.-A homesteader and
rancher and his wife, residents of
the Draper territory. were arrested
and fined 5000 and costs for abusing
and starving a little siX-year-old boy
who was making his home with
them. The case is an unusually dis
tressing one and for fear of arousing
the residents OF the surrounding
region to dangerous state of indig-
nation the names of the rancher and
his wife have been Withheld by the
authorities.
When the authorities had their at
tention called to the case and made
an investigation they found the lit
tie fellow a mass of bruises and cuts
and in a weak physical condition
from lack of food The defendants
entered pleas of guilty and attempt
ed to justify their cruel treatment of
the little fellow by claiming he was
a bad boz.

WANT $1,000 FOR
CLAY FUGITIVE.
COURT IN vERNnILloN NEXr
WEEK WILL HEAR ARGU-
NlENTS FOR SURETY FOR
ESCAPED PRISONER.

Nermillion, S. D-A term of state
circuit court for Clay county which
will convene in Nermillion Monday,
with Judge r. B. Trip. of Nanllton,
presiding. will be of unusual import
ance, as the calendar contains eight
criminal and twenty-three civil ac-
tions.
One of the most interesting will
be that of the state VS. the Western
Surety company, of Sioux Falls. This
suit is a result OF the flight and dis
appearance of Clarence Cumming. or
Sioux City, who was arrested on the
charge of being implicated in a box
car murder more than year ago.
The victim of the murder was a
young harvest hand. who with others
was riding on Milwaukee freight
train. the murder of the young man
having been committed while the
train was within the boundaries OF
Clay county.
The surety comnanv Furnished a
bond of $1,000 for Dunning's APP
pearance when wanted in court to be
tried. The Dunning case was set for
trial at a torn OF court set last
spring. but the defendant failed to
put in an appearance. Following the
flight Of Dunning the court declared
the $1,000 bond to be in default
States Attorney Bauman instituted
an action against the bonding cont
pany by which he sought to collect
for the country the amount OF the
bond.
The bonding company is resisting
the payment of the bond contending
that the parties in Sioux City with
whom they had dealings in regard to
furnishing the bond for Dunning
have failed to meet their end of the
contract The court therefore will
be compelled to decide the case up
on the merits of the bonding COM
pany's claim.

NEW STATE MAPS
HAVE BEEN MADE
FEDERAL GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
HAS RECENTLY Published
NEW PLATS OF VARIOUS
STATES

Washington, ID. C.--Rapid process
is being made by the United States
,lnpreparing its portion of the huge
world map which was agreed upon in
1909 by nearly all the princiDa! cuun-
tries. BY international agreement the
authorities began preparing maps OF
the entire surface of the earth to be
published on a scale -millionith of
actual size. or about one inch to every
siNtenn miles. All the maps are TO be
uniform in shape and general appear
ance and are to have the Same CON
ventional signs.
To meet the popular demand in
this country for state maps, the Unit
ed States geological survey. which has
charge of the making of the Ameri-
can section of the world map, is pre-
pairing and publishing maps of each
State on a larger scale than the world
map sections. These state maps a,C
twice the size or about one inch IL
every eight miles. A map OF the en-
tire United States on that sc9le woulG
cover sheet measuring twenty feet
by thirty one feet.
The survey already has issued such
maps for thirty-three State, the lat
est being that OF Florida, which is che
of the largest OF the series. In conn
pr .ng the maps every available
ource OF information has been ran
sacked for material and many data
never before available to the public
in any form have ben procured, s.
that the maps exceed i'm accuracy any
heretofore published. The new Flor
da map measures "A IL inches b,

Coyotes Arc Tied.

Sioux City, la.-Battling on q
mud-soal5ed field. Morning Side col
lege and the University of South Da-
loat football teams Saturday after
noon played a scoreless tie at Mis1ou
park. The game was one OF the
tiercest witnessed in Sioux City in
years, and the score indicates
defensive power of both teams.
Morning Side once came within
striking distance of the Coyote GOAL
when, in the Gecond quarter, on a
series of forward passes. the ball was
carried to the South Dakota Tyard
line. where the Coyotes held for
downs. This was the only time dur
ing the contest in which either team
had a chance to score. The South
Dakotans never were dangerously
near the Maroon goal line.

Pierre, S. D.-A rancher south of
Fort Pierre reports peculiar cross
lof the fowl products OF his farm. A
young white leghorn hen evidently
t''took to the brush" last summer, and
mated with cock grouse. and short
Itime ago the hen came in followed by
va brood of young white and brown

shade of a comb, and in fact outside
pof the color look more like grouse

-, Was Scandal Center.
The estrangement widened, The
emperor was fond of pretty women
and Vienna did not lack them. The
empress grew more and more to con-
slider herself "a dutifu ! sovereign
lady and less and less wife.
The tragic death of her only son
drew her nearer TO her husband for
a while, but there came succeed
ing period OF stronger repulsion,
and thereafter she almost disappear
led from the Hofburg.
Then appeared Katharine Schratt,
formerly OF the imperial theatre. BY
jher tact and wit she succeeded in
lcfeatlng for herself a ploce below
but beside the throne. never accorded
before her time so openly and so
permanently to any woman Specu-
latlon as to her relations with the
Iemperor was wide and malicious. OF
course it found it's way to the en-
press, and there followed an incid-
ent which testifies to her uncommon
delicacv and courage.
Nettled by the continual humilia-
ton OF such distasteful scandal
mongering, she devised a way to end
1T. One day she took her youngest
daughter by the hand. and, to the
establishment of her
guests, set out to pay a long call on
Frau Schratt at her country palace
in lschl, where all the world knew
the emperor spent hours daily. That
ended it effectually. 1t was impos-
sible to gossip before the empress
about a condition which she herself
had socially legalized by, her pres

Beloved BY Soldiers.
AS soldier, the emperor was be-
loved of his army. In a crushing re-
verse by the French at Solferino he
suffered such humiliation that he is
said to have wished to die with ms
men that he stood motionless in the
fire OF battery hoping to be struck
down. But none of his reverses
made any the less popular at home.
In recent years he interrupted his
winter rides, but each spring found.
him on horseback again and he at
tended the army maneuvers to the
last. In the field he was the embodi-
ment of indefatigable energy. Three
or four horses a day he would wear
out riding in gallop to the fore
most front of a reserve and from
wing 10 wing to acquaint himself
With the last tactical details.
His popularity reached beyond the
army. He was truly the idol of his
people and especially at Vienna. His
tall, gaunt figure was familiar to
every Niennese. He rode through
the streets unguarded, bowling to the
situations OF his loving people. If
it became brown that he was to
leave the city "A crowd would con-
gregate to sec him drive by. He was
imperial yet democratic, and for
years he held weekly audiences with
the common people at which any one
of his subjects could appeal to him
the righting of wrong.
