TWANG IN APPENDIX NEEDS
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION

Aberdeen, S. d., May 27.-Dr. Daniel
v. Moore, surgeon at Yankton, and one
OF the Lusitania survivors, related in
detail his success in 65 consecutive
cases Of grave appendicitis, which he
treated without death or impairment,
IN a paper read yesterday at the an
nual meeting Of the South Dakota
Medical association.
DR.. Moore spoke in commentator of
Or. Van Buren, Knott. at
Sioux City, who reported that he had
had but six deaths in sol appendicitis
cases. DR.. Moore said that he fol-
lowed DR.. kott's teaching in many of
the 50 successful cases which were
handled at Yankton.
Not until people realize that a pain
from the appendix is more dangerous
n q sting from a rattlesnake will
the dangers of appendicitis be done
away with, the surgeon said. He urged
the medical profession to instruct the
public concerning the peoples apathy
and indifference toward appendicitis in
any form.

CITY NOT LIABLE ON
MINOR STREET BUMPS
Supreme Court Overrules Judg-
ment of 81, 800 In Personal
Injury Action.

Mitchell, S. d., May 25.-Reversing
the decree of the Dawson county circuit
court which awarded James Keen, jr.,
of Mitchell, the sum Of $1,000 in his suit
against the city of Mitchell, h state
supreme court has just handed down
an opinion which absolves the city from
payment of the judgment.
The suit was instituted by James
Keen, ST., for his son who is a minor, to
recover damages for personal injury
sustained by the lad because OF all
legged defect in Of the city streets.
The accident occurred on March 29,
1913, when young Keen was driving a
with a double box. The boy was stand
ing on top of the load near the middle
Of the box. While driving in this posi-
ton, he was thrown to the ground as
the front wheels of the wagon entered a
depression extending across the street.
Both bones in one of his arms at a
point two inches above the wrist joint
were broken.
The city appealed from the circuit
courts judgment of $1,000 damages and
from an order denying a motion for a
new trial. The city commended that the
evidence failed to show that the city
had been negligent in keeping the
street in proper repair and in safe con-
dition for travel at the point where the
SSioSH GU dlld llid IiC
ing of the motion for a new trial was
an error.
In it's opinion the supreme court de-
clared that 1--WE are of. the view that
the appellant is right in this conten-
ton and that the depression in the
street vas of such character that the
officials In charge thereof could not
have reasonably forseen or a%pprehendi
ed the probability of the happening OF
the accident to the plaintiff by reason
thereof"

removal of a bullet in his leg, planted
there in a skirmish with Sioux In

He is a nephew of the historical wild
BilI' Hicock, a two-gun man of the

Bunch Grass Bill" and his father, the
latter then a deputy United States
marshal, took the murderer of wild
Bill" Jack Mccall, to Yankton in 1876,

PATTERSON AND BARTINE
MAKE VERY CLOSE RACE

Dallas, s. D, May PIE. O. Pat
terson, of this city, who had appar-
emily won the republican congressional
nomination in the Third congressional
district. now views the result as un-
certain. 1t has been impossible to get
detailed figures from the various
counties of the district and the local
committee probably has as many fig
ures as other headquarters. Mr.. Pat.
terson said this morning: II would not
be surprised to learn tina Mr.. Bartine
has been nominated. 1t seems quite
useless, however, to speculate about
the matter until the count has been
made"
The Rosebud counties gave Patter-
son a majority Of about 1900. Lyman
county gave Bartine a majority of
about 900. This leaves a margin of
900 votes, In Patterson's favor, for the
outside counties of the district. The
Bartine forces claim their man has a
cad of 500 in the six Black Hills coun-
ties. bn the local estimate is for al
most an even break in tina region.
IN nv event 1t seems clear that the
fight Is very close and victory may
turn either way on the official count.
