Farm Family Flooded with Theimo-
meter % Below.

Redfield, Feb. 1.-THE family or
N. w. Nash, a prosperous farmer
living six miles from Redfield, had a
distressful experience about 1880 in
the morning, with the thermometer
standing at 25 degrees below zero,
when a water pipe in the basement
froze and burst, and the house was
flooded with ice cold water with all
the pressure of a 1~,200-foot South
Dakota artesian we'll back of it.
There was a shut off to the water in
the basement, but the only member
of the family who knew its exact To-
cation was away from home that
night. Finally a hired mar bethought
himself OF the water faucets in the
barns, pasture and hog pens. and
rushed to open them. This lessened
the pressure sufficiently so Ii was
possible for a member of the family
to enter the basement and locate the
shut off, but the flood was not stop
ped until the house had been well de-
luged and the s~cantily clad inhabi-
tants soaked. No fire could be built
in the house until plumbers arrived
from Redfield to repair the pipes and
remove the water from the basement

ORDINANCE
Aberdeen Liquor Dealers Contest
City's Rights.

Aberdeen, Feb. 11.-An interest
ing legal question has been opened
by a number of Aberdeen men ac-
cused of selling liquor contrary 70 a
city ordinance, who have appealed
from the municipal court, alleging
that while the city government has q
right to regulate the sale Of liquor,
it has no right to prohibit its sale and
therefore, is without jurisdiction jpn
the case of druggists and others who
sell liquor. even though the city, by a
vote of it's citizens, is without sa-
looms. Jdge Brouck, of the state cir
cult court, granted the temporary re-
straining order asked for by the pc
titioners, restraining Judge Crane, OF
the municipal court, from trying the
cases against the alleged yiolaters OF
the city ordinance forbidding such
sale of liquor. and the matter will
come up for hearing in the circuit
court on February 23.
Another objection made TO The
cases is that the complaints We're
filed by George w. Hurts, chief ~
police. who is not. according TO the
contention of the petitioners. a pros.
ecuting officer and, therefore. is dis
qualified from filing the complaints

SEED CORN WEEK
Governors Proclamation Names the
Week of February II.

Pierre. Feb. 11.-Gov. Byrne's
seed corn proclamation, asking the
week beginning February 81, to be
known as seed corn week, to remind
farmers that they must this year give
careful attention to the seed corn
planted for the coming summer, has
been received very heartily here by
legislative members. Because last
year so much of the corn crop did
not mature and consequently the seed
offered this spring may be often
faulty, every effort is urged this year
to fully test all seed planted. 1t
