Rapid City, s. D., Special Police
to Have Preliminary Hear
ing Thursday.

Rapid City( s. D.. Dec. 11-Police Of
ficer Dan Burnham. who on the night
OF December 4 shot and killed Miles
Smith, a young man Of this city, has
been held by the states attorney on .
warrant charging murder. Preliminary
hearing In the case Is to come up be-
fore Justice Charles Nystrom. Of his
city, Thursday of this week.
The coroner's jury at the inquest
found that Miles Smith came to his
death through q gun-shot wound. said
gun being held In the hands Of Special
Officer Dan Durham" But O small
amount Of evidence WIS aduced at the
inquest, only the statements Of the sol.
diers from the camp at the School OF
Mines who were with the officer be-
Ing taken.
The dead man, together with two
young companions, had gone to q big
ditch along one Of the roads at a point
near the city limits. They had a toy can
non which they had made from q piece Of
shafting In one Of the machine shops
here. They were firing It with an cleo
trio battery. They would load the can
non and when an auto passed touch
It off. The soldiers had passed the
place in an automobile with a party Of
girls and after the cannon had been
fired came back to the city and got the
officer.
When they returned to the scene the
officer walked toward the place where
the annon was set. When he vas near
1t two boys started to III away from
1t. He called to them to halt and when
they did not fired over their heads.
They continued to run and he fired
again. the second time leveling his gun

The impression prevails here that the
officer acted In an irresponsible man.

HEALTH RECORD OF
NAVY IS DETAILED
Surgeon General Attributes Low
Mortality to Study Of
Hygiene and SAM
tati0n.
BY Associated Press.

washington, D. c., Dec. 10.-Ths
nayy's excellent health and low NOR
taIity rate during the war Is attributed
by Rear Admiral BREASTED. surgeon
general Of the navy In his annual report
today largely to the increasing appre-
citation by the commanding officers of
the rules Of hygiene and sanitation.
Where defects in the health system
have developed, he says, the blame falls
largely on the country's unpreparedness
for operations Of such magnitude.
Compared with an annual rate OF 81
per 1000 for the 10 preceding years,
the rate rose during the first quarter
Of this year to 80 per 1000 per year.
This, Dr. Braisted finds was due TO the
unavailable circumstance brought
about by the rapid expansion OF the
navy and the unusual weather condi-
tons in the fret quarter Of the yenr.
The death rate for the second quarter
was only 3.S.
The Death Record.
During the year 163 men werO
drowned, 30 died from exposure and AZ
were killed by gunshot wounds.
The war has served, DIR. BREASTED
a to clear the regulations Of the
men Of the army and navy OF the I'm
preston In the public mind that dis
eases due co social evils were m0r
prevalent in the eervlce than outside.

thought my asst moment OF earth had

through my tent, but fortunately ! was
not in 1t at the time. Another shell
blew my steel helmet off, whilst an
other piece hit me on the chest, but
did no harm.
