FIND SHARKS TEETH
WHILE DIGGING WELL

Mitchell, S. D., Jan. 2S.-Shark 8
teeth. the remains of the glacial age,
were pumped out of the trial well being
sunk to the sandstone level for the city
by R J. Jamison. Six or eight of them
were found in the sand pumped from
the 1913 foot level.
This is added proof of the govern
ment geological assertion that South
Dakota was at one time covered by a
glacier which travelled from the north
covering what is known as the great
plains.
Some of the teeth are in perfect con-
dition and some OF them seem to have
a small part of the jawbone still on
the teeth
This is the fourth well in which
have found sharks teeth. said Mr..
Jamison. One of these is in McCook
county. two in Miner county, but this is
the first sandstone that I know of to
contain sharks teeth. The other wells
in which they We're found were $50 TIC
gee feet deep and III loose. coarse sea

.REMPFER BELIEVES He
IS MUCH ABUSED MAN
TO Prosecute Men Who Drove
Him Out of Mitchell-Gets
Threatening Letter.

Mitchell, S. D., Jan. 2S.--William e.
Rempfer, Parkston attorney and execu-
tive secretary of the South Dakota
branch of the Peoples Society for
Democracy and Terms of Peace, is a
much, he believes, mistreated man. A
threat against his life made in an
anonymous letter, has caused him to
beg to be considered as he sees him
self
The letter, which Rempfer says came
from Mitchell, said:
The treatment which YOU received
during your recent visit to Mitchell
meets our hearty approval. Take fair
warning. Walk the straight and narrow
path. Don't try to start anything. You
have already started enough. One more
peep from you and your light goes out.
"(Signed) K. X"
Following the receipt of the letter
Rempfer issued a long statement in
which he says that he has been called
traitor a pro-German and a peace
at-any- price man, when nothing is
farther from the truth. The letter, he
says, is the result of character assassi-
nation and misrepresentation by news"
papers which seek to ruin him.
Rempfer denies that he has in any
way interfered with the prosecution
of the war or that he is an obstruction
list. He says his only crime has been
the PRONUNCIATION and agitation OF
terms finally accepted by President
Wilson as those of the nation.
Following the receipt of the letter
threatening his life Rempfer sent sew
eral friends here to trace it down and
to find the names of his abductors who
carried him out Of Mitchell Wednes-
day. He has also engaged a lawyer mere
to prosecute the men for him and
claims that he is going to fight to a
finish. denying that he can ''Ku Kluk
klanlike' be carried away and made
to stay away from here
Hearing of his determination to fight
the matter, fsiaads have urged him to
stay away from Mitchell as there has
been considerable talk of mob law in
case he is found in the city. Disinclina-
ton on the part of the police to mix II
the affair has caused some apprehen-
sion for his life in case he appears here.
