GIRLS PROVE HEROINES

Fred Ball and wife and three daugh-
ters who reside four miles west of Es-
feline met with an auto accident four
miles south Of the city Saturday morn
to spend the day. They had reached
the G. A. Mathews corner where the
road has a very sharp turn and in max
ing it the Ford car in which they were
riding, turned over, throwing the fam
if out with the exception of Mr.. Bal
who was pinned under the car. The
girls escaped without injury but Mrs.
Ball was bruised up some and her
shoulder was hurt. Just after the ac-
cident happened a Flandreau a came
up from the south. This car contained
Miss Nellie Dobbs, Mrs. Daisy Carr,
ex-superintendent of schools in Moody
county, Miss Mabel Grange, present
superintendent, and Miss Alice Coon
rod, candidate for superintendent. The
girls at once piled out and lifted the
car off Mr.. Ball who proved to be un-
hurt. w. II. Conklin arrived about this
time and took part Of the family and
the damaged car back to town. Mrs.
Ball was taken in the Flandreau car
and brought to the Leon hotel.
BY noon the car was repaired and
the Ball family were ready to proceed
their way.
The Flandreau ladies received the
thanks of the Ball family and wera
warmly congratulated by their friends
in the city On their strength and pres
ence of mind in the crisis.

MANY COLLEGE VISITORS

There are more people visiting the
South Dakota State College this fall
than ever before. They came from
everywhere. Last Monday there were
parties there from three states, Iowa,
Minnesota, and South Dakota, all at
the same time. They came by the
autO route. This is more conclusive
evidence that the roads leading to
Bookings should be in the very best
condition. Director James w. Wilson
tells us that the visitors here Monday
were all interested in the sons and
daughters of the $4,000 bull developed
by the State College and which is al
ready grand champion of three state
fairs in the east.

INHERITANCE TAX
CASE ON FILE HERE
TAX COMMISSIONER GOING AFTER
TAX ON NUMBER OF MORT.
CAGES HELD ON FARMS
THIS COUNTY WILL BENEFIT LARGELY
Lawyers Think a Test in Court MIGHT
Defeat the State and
County

H.. c. Preston, state tax commIs.
sioner of Pierre, was in the city Tues
day and filed papers in a case against
the estate of Fayette Potter, of Pawlet,
Vermont, who died January Is, 1914,
leaving a large estate, part of which
is composed of real estate mortgages
on farms in several parts of South Da-
kota.
In the will left by Mr.. Potter the
town of Pawlet is his executor, and an
understanding is reported to have been
reached between the town officers of
Pawlet and Mr.. Preston whereby the
inheritance tax will be paid by them
to the state Of South Dakota.
There are a large number of small
mortgages scattered over the state,
of which are held on farms in
Bookings county. The total amount
of the mortgages is $42,775 and there
is interest due to the amount of
$1,25O.
If the deal goes through as now
practically agreed upon the state will
get over $4,000 and this with interest
will total about $4,000. Brookings
county will come in for 20 per cent Of
this amount which will give the county
owe $500 and interest since 1914.
A copy Of the will is embodied in
tho ~, >, ,r HlAI I,y NJ, DrAstnn n,l 10
a curiosity.
Lawyers who have seen the papers
express the opinion that there is a
nice point of law in this case and that
a good stiff fight might keep the state
out of the tax.

WARM P.0. FIGHT
NOW DEVELOPING
SEVERAL CANDIDATES FOR LO-
CAL POST OFFICE GOING AZ
TER THE BACON
STRONG DARK HORSE MAY ENTER FIELD
Senator johnson Will Probably Leave
Selection to Democratic Patrons
Of Office

The local post office fight is growing
warm and candidates come and go so
rapidly that it is hard to keep pace
with the changes. Several men who
were prominently mentioned several
weeks ago are out of the fight for one
cause or another, but others have
taken their places and the interest is
keenly felt as each new candidate is
brought into the field for a tryout.
There seems to be considerable
guessing as to the method of settling
the matter and when it is to be done.
The one best guess, however, is that
nothing will be done until after cleo
ton and that then Senator Johnson
will decide to put the settlement NJ
to the democratic patrons of the office,
~reserving the right to approve or re.
ject the decision in the end himself.
The Register has also learned that g
strong dark horse, not dreamed of by
anyone now in the fight or their
friends, may enter the field and carry
off the honorS. If this dark horse gets
into the fight he will un~questionably
have the endorsement of Senator John
son which lea his appointment.
The men in the fight now are j. r.
Fridley. f. b. Harte, A. f. Swift, John
Holiday and c. A. Kubrud, and their
respective friends are doing what they
to further their chances.
The republicans, of course, are in
terested in the fight but as they are
not in good standing with the present
administration there is nothing they
can do to settle it. They are looking
forward to a change in Washington,
which will give them a chance four
years hence to go through the same
agony their democratic friends are
suffering at the present crisis.
