DEMONSTRATIONS AT YANkTON

urday night, and such a political night

years. Three antisuffragists engaged

while Miss Elsie Benedict urged votes
for women" on q street corner, half a

crowd. Miss Benedict had s~tenogra-
pliers at the opera house, taking down
every word the three "antis' uttered.
At the close of the anti meeting, Miss
Benedict drew the combined crowd to-
gether and, with the notes of the ants
meeting before her, proceeded to flay
her rival sisters. The ladies OF Yank
ton rallied around Miss Benedict and,
as each argument was driven home by
Miss Benedict, she received enthusiast
tic applause. The whole affair was
amusing to the men voters, who took
all the speeches in, and drew the con-
clusion that If women get the franchise,
future elections will be real interesting.

VOTERS SKEPTICAL ON
FAIRFAX WITHDRAWAL
Burke Boosters View 1t as Plan
to Cause Deadlock In Coun-
ty Seat Contest.

Burke. S. D.. Oct. 25.-If actual con-
ditionS conform to surface claims,
something entirely new in county seat
lights has happened in Gregory county.
The town now holding the county seat,
Fairfax, processes to have dropped out
Of the contest, announcing that Its in
fluence will be thrown to Herrick, one
Of the two opposing contenders. There
are some angles to the situation, how
ever, which make 1t possible that this
move by Fairfax may be directly de-
signed to hold the honor which it thus
processes to relinquish. The new move
has been q real sensation and has set
h county politicians agog.
Before the reputed withdrawal OF
Fairfax, there were three contending
towns: Fairfax, present county seat,
located near the extreme eastern edge
Of the county; Herrick. located near
the center OF the county, but q Few
miles to the east; Burke, located near
h center Of the county, but a few
miles to the west.
There has been no question OF the
desire Of a majority OF the voters to
move the county seat nearer the CEN
ter OF the county, but In previous con-
tests the division Of strength between
Burke and Herrick enabled Fairfax to
hold the balance Of power-and the
county seat.
In h campaign this year the voters
in the western part of the county, and
even In the central eastern part, anx-
ious to get the case settled, have set
tied ON Burke SO unanimously that Its
success at the polls seemed ssured
Now the alleged Fairfax withdrawal
seems to give Herrick a chance and
will draw to the support of that town
many voters in the central area who
were aligned with Burke. Then, IL the
people of the Fairfax territory quietly
support their own town, as generally
suspected, the election will fail to give
any town the required majority, and
Fairfax will hold the county seat.
1t Is an unusually interesting sit
uation and supplants all other election
interests In his county.

Here was night with all its terrors

was out of the question. Red Eve
made that impossible. We took refuge
in tree that stood apart from other

the night 1t was miserable night
For the first few hours it rained heay-

wind blew upon US. Soaked through
with shiyering bodies and chattering

arms. We missed the snug. dry cave
that so quickly warmed with the heat
Of our bodies.
Morning found US wretched and re-
solved. We would not spend another
such night. Remembering the tree
shelters of our elders. we set to work
to make one for ourselves. We built
the framework of a rough nest and on
higher forks overhead even got in sew
eral ridge poles for the roof. Then the
sun came out, and under its benign in
flUence we forgot the hardships of the
night and went off in search of break

Lop Ear led me chase through the
trees and down to the river. We came
out upon it where a large slough en-
tered from the BURBERRY swamp. The
mouth of this slough was wide. while
the slough itself was practically with
out Il current. In the dead water. just
inside it's mouth, lay tangled mass Of
tree trunks. Some of these. what Of
the wear and tear of freshets and Of
being stranded long summers on sand
bars, were seasoned and dry and with
out branches. They f1oated high in the
