PETERS WINS CASE.
William Peters Won Verdict In The
United States Court.

The suit of David B. Heizer a.
gainst William Peters for alleged
damages by reason of being hit by
an automobile was brought in the
United States Court at Deadwood
last Thursday morning and took up
the time of the court for Thursday,
Friday and Saturday. The case
went to the jury at $3.50 Saturday
evening. The jury returned Inn
mediately after supper with a YER
dict in favor of the defendant upon
all the issues as a result of the first
ballot, thus vindicating Mr.. Peters
entirely, as to his being negligent
in driving his car.
This case was tried last spring
in the circuit court at this place
and resulted in a verdict in favor
of the defendant but the plaintiff
got new trial on the grounds of
having discovered new evidence,
and then dismissed their case in the
state court and began anew in the
United States court.
At this trial Judge Elliott passed
on point never before brought out
in the United States court as to the
manner of computing distance be-
tween towns SO as to come within
the law in taking dispositions where
parties reside more than one hun
ired miles from the place where
the trial was had. Judge Elliott
ruled that one should not always
take the railroad mileage but that
it was the nearest feasible route
that should be counted, which in
this case is the automobile road
one hundred miles between Hot
Springs and Deadwood.
Wilson & Wilson represented the
plaintiff and Juckett & Adams, the
defendant. Mr.. Peters is to be
congratulated for surely where
q man has been vindicated by

South Dakota Before Spring

Washington, d. c., Sept. 14th.-
Having again urged the early 6e-
signation of the homestead lands in
South Dakota which are subject to
entry under the Grazing Homestead
Act, Senator Sterling has been ad-
vised by Secretary Lane of the In
terror Department that a force of
classifiers in the employ of the
Geological Survey is now at work
making examinations of lands ap-
piled for prior to the first of July.
While the work is necessarily slow
because of the great number of ap-
plications 1t is expected that it can
be completed this fall and that re-
concentrations can be made to the
Department for the designation of
practically all lands Of the proper
character before next spring.

FIRE NEAR STATE HOME.
Mrs. spearing Lost Home By Fire
Saturday Noon.

At about 1880 Saturday noon q
fire alarm was sent in when the
little cottage of Mrs. Spearing, just
north of the State Home was dis
covered to be on fire. The local
department responded but upon
their arrival at the flre discovered
that the buildings were beyond the
reach of any hose that could be se-
cured and outside Of the fire limits.
An effort was made to utilize the
State Home water but this was Inn
possible on account Of lack of pres
sure and the cottage and one barn
were burned to the ground. All Of
the furniture was saved.
The fire started from the explosion
of an oil stove in the kitchen. Very
little If any insurance was carried
on the property.

common ends. Some new features
will be added this year and it ia
understood that students are much
interested In working out plans to
enable them to give a number of
programs of merit during the year.
The Magazine Club is to be a
reality as the students are unani-
nous In this movement. Students
paving twenty-five cents will be en-
titled to all the rights and privil-
eges of the club. The membership
is so large the organization will be
able to procure twenty-five or
thirty of the standard magazines
which will give the members Of the
club much material for. general
reading and culture.
The commercial work Of the high
school Is very popular with the
students. There are forty three. TAX
ing typewriting. Sixteen are In the
salesmanship class. Six students are
in the advance short hand class and
seven others are in the beginning
class which makes total of seventy
two enrolled in this department.
The attendance and punctuality
thruout the entire school from the
first grade thru the high school
is excellent which is an indication
that the schools have begun sue
cessful year. Pupils of the grades
as we'll as the high school students
seem to have more interest in their
work than usual. Patrons Of the
school as we'll as all others seem to
feel that our city schools is the most
important asset we have and are
ready to support the Board OF Edu-
cation in their efforts to make our
schools second to none in the north

Now war has come and they have
summoned me
To do my bit beyond the dangerous

So must leave my home and lay
aside
The day dreams of my hours of ease
and pride.
Twill hurt; the roots go deep that
bind me here.
Life without home were dismal,
blank and drear,
And yet, what matters it must go?
If I may fight the cause of all this
woe,
If may fight the wrong and help
the right,
If may war on war, then let me
fight"
Would that our whole nation
could feel and act that way. 1t
would be unnecessary to pass laws
to make people save their nation.
If we should lose this war, how
terrible it would be for anyone to
realize that he had failed to do his
full share to win it.

nEN FRUIT MEN
HOLD CONFERENCE
MOSCOW MAN TELLS OF THE POUL
TRY PROBLEMS OF THE
GREAT WAR

Prem Moore, head of the poultry de-
partment University of Idaho, return
ed Saturday from Corvallis after
| spending three days attending the
meeting of the American Association
of Poultry Instructors and Investigat-
ors with Prof. James Dryden presid-
ing.
Professor Moore is enthusiastic over
the meeting which he says was inter-
esting and decidedly beneficial espec-
tally from one aspect-the considera-
ton of the poultry industry from the
Canadian and war viewpoint. The
delegates from Canada laid special
stress on the war and the poultry
needs that have developed
1t seems that poultry and eggs are
absolutely necessary for men who have
been gassed on the battle fronts. A
great problem is to produce the poul-
try and eggs and get them across to
where they are most needed. All in
the conference agreed that a greater
production Of poultry is necessary and
all agreed on the necessity of sub
shutting something for wheat as poult-
ry feed. Professor Moore read a pa
per otfa4his subject and told what is
being done at the University of Idaho
along the line of poultry food inves-
legations.
The delegates were royalty enter
tanned and put in two additional days
some of the fine poultry
plants in that section. Professor Moore
had the pleasure of seeing Professor
Dryden's 3O3-egg Leghorn hen. She
has already laid over 1000 eggs in her
lifetime and she has a daughter that
has passed the 1000 mark.
Professor Moore was impressed with
the fact that the hop industry is
doomed because of prohibition. The
farmers are pulling them out and put
ting in other crops.
