TOO I-ATEI

Pierre. s. d.. July 2S.-J. f. E.del-
stein, of Dallas, should have attended
the democratic convention as delegate
from South Dakota instead of H.. +.
Fellows, of Sioux Falls, who did go.
The reason has now developed. When
counting the votes at Pierre a clerical
error occurred and instead Of giving
Fellows 1911 votes from Beadle county,
II clerk mazda an error and credited
hin with 1,19f votes-thus giving Fell
lows a higher vote-and conseulently
he was given the proper certificate OF
election.
The only consolation now left MIR
Idelstefn, who should have gone. is
that he stayed at home from the con.
ventlon and is that much ahead in ex-
pense money, as the delegates to this
convention had to bear their own ex-
penses entirely.

COUNTY SEAT FIGHT
WILL Be CONDUCTED
BY DAKOTA CITIES
Gregory County to Be Scene Of
Struggle-Herrick and
Burke In Lead.

! Wheeler. S. D.. July 2S.-Gregory
county during the fall months will be
the scene of one of the hottest county
seat tights ever staged in South Da-
kota.
Residents of the county who are OPP
posed to the county capital remaining
ut Fairfax, it's location for many years,
have taken steps to procure the neces-
silry petitions requiring he county
commissioners to submit to the voters
at the November election the question
of the removal of the county seat. and
it is anticipated hat they will have
no difficulty in securing the necessary
number of signatures.
But this will be only the starter of
the fight. and will by no means indi-
cate that rival towns can capture the
county seat from Fairfax. Thus far
two opposing own have been men
II in connection with the effort to
dlspossess Fairfax of the county seat
and secure it for themselves. These
towns are Herrick N Burke, import
amt business points in the county. with
II thlckly settled region slirrounding
them. There has been some talk that
the city of Gregory also would enter
the county seat fight, but the leading
business men and other interests in
that city are opposed to their town be-
coming a candidate and thus antag-
onize hundreds of farmers n ranch
ers who ransact their business at
Gregory, but favor Burke as the proper
place for he county capital.
1t is expected the supporters of Her
rick and Burke will form strong or
carnations to aid them in the coming
county seat fight. The fact that there
will be at least two opposing candi-
dates against Fairfax. thus dividing
the ~anti-FEafrfax vote, is regarded by
h residents Of Fairfax and
ers of that town as a favorable omen
indicating hat Fairfax will be able to
retain the county capital.
Nevertheless, the Herrick and Burke
people will enter the fight in the ex-
pectation that they will win a victory
at the election in NoVemher

VICTIM OF AUTO DISEASE

what physicians term petromortis. or
automobile gas poisoning. According
to physicians, it is the first fatal case
in Chicago from that cause.
An idea Of the violence with which
petromortis attacks it's victims was
given by DR.. John d. Ellis head of the
department of occupational diseases
of Rush Medical college.
THE thing is new to science in
some aspects said Doctor Ellis. Per
sons who are subject to vertigo may
be attacked when in close, small
garage. The danger lies in a failure
of certain elements in the gasoline to
oxidize. In any event, there is a
quick suffusion OF a violent gas that
renders the victim faint Thus il the
exhaust OF an automobile continues,
the result is almost instant death
The post-mortem showings are
those OF brain and lung congestion"
humphrey went to his garage last
night to get his automobile, in which
he intended to deliver a number OF
Christmas gifts to poor families. An
hour later his body was found on the
floor OF the garage. the engine of the
automobile was running. and the
small room was filled with gas fumes.
