SENSATION IN DOLL
MURDER TRIAL AT RAPIL

m " AtAhA| "a AhAAL IL.
Rapid City, S. D., Oct. 6.-There was
sensation Saturday afternoon in the
trial Of Charles Doll for murder Of his
Heighbor, Fox. The defendant had tes-
tilted that the deceased shot a bullet
which passed through the defendants
jumper. That after firing this shot the
deceased got ready to fire another one
and that in the interval the defendant
fired the shot which proved fatal.
The jumper was introduced 10 eyi
dence, thereafter the defendant put on
five or six witnesses who testified as to
alleged threats made by the deceased
against the defendant at various times
during the past three years, and as to
alleged warnings communicated to the
defendant
Along about 2:3O in the afternoon the
expert gun smith, Chief of Police
O'Meara, Of Lead City, after testib ing
as to the time aud character of The gun
Of deceased, Fox, the chief of police was
requested by the defense and by the
state TO take the gun apart for minute
examination. lie was permitted to do
this in the sheriff's office in the pres
ence OF some of defendants counsel aud
others aud during this time the jury, the
court and the spectators waited for the
information which the examination dis
closed, and the chief again took the
stand and gave out the startling news
that the bullet and part of the shell
were securely cemented in the breech
of the gun The bullet was extracted
after considerable difficulty in the pres
ence Of the jury and together with the
gun barrel was offered and received in
evidence
On Monday morning the case was
resumed the defense in view Of the
startling discovery of Saturday after
noon Of a metal bullet casing with
bullet behind it in the Fox gun, submit.
ted the theory that there had been
metal path bullet stuck in the barrel
previous to the last shot fred and that
when Fox fired the revolver on the day
of the shooting the bullet last fred stuck
in the barrel but drove the bullet out
which had stuck in the barrel previous
ly, leaving the casing in the barrel. The
conclusion of the case until Wednesday
was battle of gun experts, at least
three on each side. The defense sup
porting this possibility, and the State
bringing expert gun men who state that
such a theory to be impossible, that with
both bullets would be driven out or an
explosion would follow. There is every
reason to think decision will be rend-
cred by the time this paper is published
and verdict rendered.

SERIOUS MINE FIRE
Workmen TO Extinguish Mine
is Being Flooded.

'It has been known the past week
though little has been said in the press
lest there be undue alarm" says the
Deadwood Telegram Of October 4th,
''that there is fire in the great Home
stake mine At first the danger was
minimized by officials and il was hoped
that the fire, which was caused by a
blast setting Ere to timbers, could be
located and extinguished But because
Of the gasses formed, workmen have not
been able to reach the fire, which appar
emily is not large, so efforts to cope with
the danger have failed
This led to an appeal to the federal
government for expert help. Car No 5
Of the U s Bureau Of Mining arrived
yesterday afternoon, and is parked at
Puma. 1t brought force of expert
fighters of mine fires and up-to-date
equipment Of apparatus. The crew is in
charge Of Jerome +. Wilcox, formerly Of
Lead. The engineer and foreman in
charge OF the car and crew were at Pitts.
burgh attending the National First Aid
Rescue contest, but they were notified
of their being needed here and are on
the way.
The car is about 50 feet long, all steel
Among the equipment are large gas
masks which enable the wearers to keep
up their supply Of oxygen and remain in
the deadly gas atmosphere for couple
Of hours. Also there are number of
canarles in cages, which are used to give
warning, being more sensitive to the
gasses than humans"
Work OF flooding the mine was COM
menced Monday afternoon. This was
deemed a necessary precaution to extin-
gush the fire on the 7O0-S00 foot levels,
if other efforts should fail In the mean
time, every possible effort is being made
under direction OF the government ex-
perts, to reach and extinguish the fire.
Should this be acco mplshed the work OF
flooding would be halted. But if their
efforts fail, the water viii reach up to
the 700 foot level in about 30 days, it is
estimated by the Homestake engineers
At the time the mine was flooded before,
it took 80 days, and work was suspended
for about 90 days.
A Il mills and other plants of the mine
have been closed, and mining operations
ceased while the work of flooding the
mine is in progress. However, the EN-
poyes will not be out of employ ment.
They have been notified that they will
be continued on the pay roll as hereto
fore and such will be made of their
services as can be under the conditions.

CAN'T PREDICT FLU ATTACK.


Fear is recognized as so potent a fac.
tor in the handling of Influenza that the
public is entitled to all possible facts
bearing on any recurrence this winter,
says the state public health service in a
statement Just issued, which frankly con-
fesses that no one can say with any de-
gree Of certainty that there will or will
not be an epidemic.
The statement, however, points out
that caution is the part of wisdom. 1t
urges communities to be prepared al
though but nine cases of light Infu-
enza have been reported in Minnehaha
county since September lst this year and
but few in scattered places about the
country A previous attack is said to
bring immunity in a certain percentage
of cases which Dr. Park B. jenkins, sup
erintendent of the state board, holds
should allay fear in many former VIC
TINS. Cures, he maintains, are yet in
the experimental stage.
A proper proposition of work, play
and rest are urged as a good preventa.
tive. Milk is held to be good for adults
as well as children, plenty of fresh air,
avoidance of overcrow ding, oyerheating
and overeating are emphasized. Shun-
ming unsanitary conditions of all sorts,
public drinking cups and anything un
clean which might spread the disease
through direct contact or even indir.
ect, are urged as wise precautions for
the public. Sneezing or coughing in
others faces are held to be means OF
transmission.

BANKER TEACHES SON HOW
TO BREAK TOBACCO HABIT

w. F. Duvall, president of the Farm
ers Bank and also of the Duvall-Per-
cival Trust Company, Of Rolla, Mo-,
knows how to turn bad habit into
good one. When a boy was born to
Mr.. and Mrs. Duvall "a years ago the
father found that babies and tobacco
aroma did not mix to the benefit of
the babies. So he quit smoking, and
put away his tobacco money at the
rate of 10 cents day so the boy
could have it when grown. At the end
of each year there was $3.50 accu
mulated, which Duvall loaned at 8 per
cent. Four years later another son
was born and similar savings ac-
count was begun for the Junior Duvall.
Two months ago the elder son returned
from France. He had learned to
smoke. His father, without criticising
his son for the habit, took him into
his office in the Farmers Bank and
showed him the ledger carrying bal
ance of more than $4,000 to his credit
and more than $4,000 to his brother,
all accrued from the quitting Of the
smoking habit.
The elder son was convinced and
said: 81 have seen in black and white
the results of foregoing spending
habit, and | am off the smoking bus
mess for good"

wheat is fixed by the government at a
minimum of more than So bushel

posts to pile up at approximately the
