suit of an accident while working
with his father on a tractor. The

him. but the axle struck him On the
head and knocked him down, and by
the time the father. who was on the
engine. had succeeded in stopping it

a fight as the elimination of a feud
between Meade county ranchmen.
George Mcfarland. an Elk Greek
rancher. Is in a serious condition,
with a wound through the lungs
made with a pitchfork. and Frank
Devers. a neighboring rancher. and
his son have been lodged in the coun-
ty Jail.
The first report was that there was
no hope of McFarland's recovery. but
later reports are to the effect hal he
has a fighting chance for life. For
a number of years it is stated there
had been a feud between the McFar-
land and Devers families, the feud
dating back to an occasion when the
Devers were arrested on cattle rus
thing" charges. 1t is charged that
since hat time threats have been
made by the Devers against McFar-
land.
The three men, were assisting in
threshing on the ranch of another
neighbor when the Devers are alleg-
ed to have attacked Mcfarland with
pitchforks.

EPISCOPAL INDIANS
5000 IN CONVOCATTON on PINE
RIDGE RESERVE.

Aberdeen, Sept. Three thou
sand Indians greeted and received
the blessing of their new spiritual di-
rector, DR.. Hugh L. Burleson, Episco-
pal bishop of South Dakota, at a
four-day convocation of Niobrara
deanery. according to Rev. Edward
Ashley, general missionary to the In
dians, who returned from the annual
meeting at Crow Greek, Pine Ridge
reserve.
1t was probably the most success
full c~onvocation in the history of the
deanery, DR.. Ashley said.
From early morn to shutdown four
days were spent in prayer, conference
and the transaction of routine bust
ness.
The convocation was especially in
teresting for several reasons. 1t was
the first meeting OF the convocation
at which the new bishop was present
and presided. He was assisted by
the general missionary, who acted
throughout the meetings as master of
ceremonies.
The presbyters met with Bishop
Burleson and conferred with him in
reference to the future progress of
their work.
The bishop also met with the ma
tive workers to cheer and stimulate
them to greater efforts for the uplift
of their people.
Male delegates to the convocation
presented to the bishop freewill of
ferlngs in cash amounting to ST.
1857, which was between $500 and
$500 more than any previous offer
ing.
The women of the Niobrara dean
cry, represented by three delegates
from each local auxiliary, held meet
ings in a tent near the convocation.
They presented as their offering for
the aid of church work in South Da-
kota and in foreign lands the sum of
~s4.431.S5.
Today there are nearly 100 Indian
congregations from each of which
three delegates are elected to repre-

SUFFRAGE VICTORY

Saratoga Springs, n. Y, Aug. 81
President Wilson expressed the hope
that woman suffrage will carry in New
York this year in a letter sent to the
Woman Suffrage party in state confer
nce here.
II hope hat the voters of the state
Of New York will rally to the support
of woman suffrage by a handsome ma
iority," the president wrote. 1T would
be splendid vindication of the prin-
ciple of the cause in which we all be-
lieve."
Governor Whitman and Mayor
Mitchell spoke at the conference.
Dissatisfaction of the method OF
f~urthering ~suffragists' views by street
meetings was EXPIRE sed at the confer
ence, and as a result street meetings
in New York will be abandoned.

ABERDEEN fire BUGS
GENT AND EDUCATED
ABOVE AVERAGE.

Aberdeen, Sept. IA few weeks
ago a registered package vas mailed
at Milbank to a man at Aberdeen.
The behavior of the man mailing the
package was so peculiar that il
aroused the suspicion of the postmas-
ter at Milbank, and the replies of the
sender to inquiries regarding the
contents of the package were also
unsatisfactory. Accordingly. the pos
tai authorities and government secret
agents working out of Aberdeen were
notified, and eventually the sender of
the package and the man to whom II
was addressed were arrested. The
package itself was found TO contain
phosphorus in a bottle filled with
water. Phosphorus is a highly dan
gerous substance which is harmless
In water, but which ignites when dry
and exposed to the air. The arrest
of the men were kept secret and mail
addressed to them was intercepted,
until altogether eight members OF
what Is believed to be a dangerous
ineendiary gang were placed under
arrest, three of them in Aberdeen.
and others elsewhere, largely at
Minneapolis.
The men under arrest here are
Stanley Brown, William Dawn and
Jack Nelson, all of whom have just
been arraigned before United States
Commissioners William Wallace, and
held under $40. 900 bond each for
trial at the next term of federal
court. Charges will also be prefer
red against the men in Minnesota
jails.
The letters intercepted indicate
that the men under arrest are re
sponsible for the burning of the Alb
erdeen Transfer company's barn. and
the barn of the Aberdeen Delivery
Service company a few weeks ago.
All three of the men under arrest
i'm Aberdeen are of more than ordi-
nary intelligence and education. One
of them, in a conversation, denied
that il was one of the principles OF

SUPPLY Large
BIG CROP BEEN RAISED, SAY RE-
PORTS FROM ELEVATOR
MANAGERS.

Pierre, Sept. 1.-Reports gathered
by the state market commission from
the managers of farmers elevators
over the state indicate that South Da-
kota will have a good surplus of po-
tatoes for shipment this fall. The
estimates vary with localities, and
with an occasional report of shortage
of the local needs.
The surplus, it is believed, will be
many thousand bushels over the state
if the estimates of the elevator people
are correct, and with the present
market the price is likely to bring a
good lot of money to farmers in
many sections of the state.
