HANDCUT BY
FALLINGOF
STORM WINDOW
Officer Hewlett of Duty as Result of
Injury Received Yesterday

Officer James Hewlett met with
painful accident yesterday afternoon,
when he slipped while taking down
storm window and lacerated his left
hand so severely that it was necessary
to take ten stitches to close up the
wound.
Mr.. Hewlett was taking down part
of a glass enclosed porch, when the
wind caught the section he was hand
ling and caused him to slip, his foot
went into a hole in the ground and in
trying to save the glass, he thrust
his hand through it. A piece of glass
cut a cash from the wrist to the base
of the little finger and went entirely
through his hand. His wrist was also
badly cut.

the excessive rainfall is indicated for
the first week in April. Watch the
worlds earthquake record during a.
bove named period.
I would emphasize the likelihood Of
overfows or floods due to rapid thaw-
ing and heavy rainfall. Preparedness
is the watchword of the day; and with
out doubt a large proportion of the
losses sustained in storms could be a.
voided by watchfulness and timely
precaution.
General Outlook For April
April, being covered by the Venus
influence, will be characterized by ex-
IRENE changes, many storms, and pre-
cipitation above normal. Do not be
deceived by early warm spells. Sud-
den relapses to very cold are probable
This condition will fade out toward
the close of April and we may then
hope for more settled weather.

STATE TAX RULING
EMPRESS COMPANIES MUST PAY
STATE LEVY.

Pierre, June S.-Judge Hughes, of
the Sixth circuit. has made his find
ings in the express tax cases which
were tried before him and splits
the difference" between the conten-
tions of the state tax commission and
the express companies. Judge
Hughes finds the valuation of the
Wells-Fargo company in the state to
be s525,000, on which the tax would
be $~5,197.50. To settle this the COM
pany had made n tender of $205.60
to the state, the amount they thought
they ought to pay. The valuation of
the American Express company was
placed at $4,000, which would
mean a tax in the state of $4,455.
This company had made the state a
tender of S1S4.S1. The figures of
Judge Hughes are about so per cent
of the figures which had been fixed
by the state tax commission as an
equitable assessment of these com
panies. 1t is not likely that the conn
panies will pay this without further
appeal to the supreme court.

Excitement Caused by Deposing In
dian Chief.

Wheeler, June S.-Advices from
the Pine Ridge Indian reservation
are to the effect that there has been
great excitement among the Sioux of
that reservation during the past few
days, this being due to the fact that
the tribal council, composed OF In
dams from different sections of the
reservation, deposed Jack Red Cloud
from the position of tribal chief.
Jack Red Cloud Is a son of Red Cloud
the famous Sioux chief, who died a
year or two ago, and who for many
years was looked upon as the head
of the entire Sioux nation. Indians
representing the different districts
on the reservation now have held an
indignation meeting at a central
point, at which the action of the trib-
al council was bitterly denounced
and the demand made that Jack Red
Cloud be re%instated as chief of that
branch of the Sioux nation which re
sides on the Pine Ridge reservation
Serious trouble between the Indians
themselves is anticipated in the
event that, the tribal council refuses
to rescind its action and reinstate
the deposed chief.

Hot Springs-Hail, the first of the
season, did some damage TO crops in
this vicinity. The hailstorm cut a
swath south, east and west of here
and considerable small grain is re-
ported ruined, but the indications
are still for a mammoth crop this
year in every direction.
Mt. Vernon-In one day cattle,
hogs and sheep to the value of about
$4,000 were shipped from Mt. Yer
non to eastern markets. All the
stock came from the farms of this
vicinity, and brought the farmers a
good revenue at a time when they
had no income from any other
source.
Pierre-The Stanley county au-
thorities are after what they believe
to be a bunch of cattle r~ustlers.
They have arrested Maurice Windel-
Doe. of Draper. and August Born. of
Wendte, who have been placed under
bonds on the charge of theft of a
bunch of steers belonging to Frank
Luke. William George, better

rested and will be given a prelimi-
nary hearing on the same charge. +.

tDeuel) county, at a special election
held In the various precincts

q heavy majority. The work OF

Of a six inch artesian well, which is
designed to increase the supply OF

tion purposes, the flow of the old
artesian we'll having failed to a con
siderable extent. 1t was drilled in
the early days of the town. The new
well will cost the city $1.95 per foot,

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, June Special:
Field Marshal Kitchener, the British
secretary for war, and several mem
bers of his staff have been lost at
sea off the Orkney islands, by the
sinking of the British cruiser Hamp-
shire, on which Earl Kitchener was
making a voyage to Russia on a spe-
cial mission to Emperor Nicholas and
probably also with the intention Of
visiting the battle front in Russia,
where the great offensive against the
Teutonic allies has been begun by
the Russians.
So far as has been a%scertained
there we're no survivors of the disas-
ter and it seems probable that be-
tween 200 and 800 men met their
death when the Hampshire either
struck a mine or was ~torpedoed.
From the Pripet river southwark
to the Rumanian frontier the Rus
slams. according to Petrograd, are
continuing to develop successes
against the Germans and Austrians.
In the fighting along this front of
some $50 miles, the Russians already
have made prisoners of 4S0 officers
and more than $4,000 men, and cap
tured twenty-seven guns and more
than fifty machine guns.
In this offensive, which is de-
clared to be a carefully coordinated
movement, the Russians are said to
have a plentiful supply of ammuni-
ton and men, and with the roads
now in good condition, their maneu-
vers are expected to develop swiftly,
The number of the Teutonic allies
facing the Russians is reported TO be
about 600, 600 men.
Since the repulse of two German
infantry attacks between Fort Vauy
and Damloup Monday night, the
fighting in the Verdun region has
again developed into artillery duels
with the Fort Vaux-Damloup sector
the enter of the greatest violence.
No material gains for either side are
reported.
The Austrians are still being held
from further advances and with
heavy losses by the Italians, accord
ing to Rome. In the Valdarsa and
Pasubio sectors and on the front be.
tween the Posina and Astico rivers
vicious Austrian attacks have beer
put down and the Italians have ever
gained some ground against the Aus
trians in the western slopes of Monte
Cengio.
The Turks in Asia Minor, neal
Baiburt and Erzingan. have again at.
tempted an offensive against the
Russians, but Petrograd says their
efforts failed. A successful raid has
been made by the Russians against
the Turks in the vicinity of Khani
kin, near the Persian border north.
