Tiny Mouse Plunged
City Into Darkness

Mitchell, Oct. Just because a
mouse ran across the main voltage at
the Mitchell Power company electric
plant last Thursday evening at 500,
causing short circuit Mitchell was
in total darkness, as far as public
electric power was concerned, for
more than half an hour.
The mouse was electrocuted but be-
fore dying managed to cause trouble
enough to stop the local moving pic
ture shows. break up dance, and
cause the proprietors of local stores
to burn up numbers of candles and
waste hundreds of words.
When the lights went off many
people feared that repetition had
come of the troubles of last fall,
when there was no power for weeks.
Telephone calls to the plant, how
ever, set their fears at rest and as
sured them that there had been no
explosion or other serious trouble.

OFFICERS raid
ILLICIT STILLS
DEPUTIES FOF STATE SHERIFF
STAGE SEARCH OF LEAD AND
TROJAN HOMES

Lead, Oct. THAT deputies of the
state sheriff's office propose search
ing dwelling houses where it is neces-
sary to capture supplies of liquor and
appliances for making homemade
beverages is indicated by raids which
have been made during the past $ew
days on homes here and in this vicin-
ity.
Deputies of the state sheriff have
been in the Hills several days look
ing up illicit distilleries and getting
line on people who are manufactur-
ing intoXicants for home and whole
sale consumption, but paying partic-
ular attention to those distilling
strong waters.
One of the state agents, assisted
by officers from the office of the
Lawrence county sheriff, visited two
lead homes. In one of them a still
was found in oepration, with twelve
gallons of grape brandy and a guam
tity of mash on hand. In the other
residence a quantity of grape mash
was unearthed. In this house was
found something that looked like a
still, copper kettle in which mash
was cooked, but the coil was not
found.
At Trojan, where another raid was
made, two crude stills were discov-
cred, together with a quantity of
mash and some fiery stuff which
would pass for brandy.
In Lead lat the home of Anton
Mantalica and John Jino the officers
found what looked like a still and a
lot of mash, and this was confiscated.
At the home of Louis Blajieh they
found not only the still, but quite a
quantity of the finished product and
a quantity of mash. This also was
confiscated
At Trojan two homes were search
ed In all, eight men were placed
in the county Jail pending their pre-
liminary hearing. The raids have
caused something of a sensation in
this part of the Black Hills and fur
ther raids and arrests are looked for.

CHARLES KNATzER
DIES FROM INJURIES
WHILE AT PLAY WAS RUN OVER
BY A WAGON LOADED
WITH COAL

All who are aware of the frightful
accident that occurred near the nor
NAL one day last week, when Charles
Knatzer, the ten-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. j. p. KnatZer, was run over
by load of coal and fatally injured
will be panied to learn that the vic
tim of the accident passed away at
the Madison hospital about midnight
last night The little suffered sue
cumbed to the pain and nervous
shock of internal injuries and a
broken leg.
The parents are deeply affected by
their great loss. Mr.. and Mrs Knat-
ger moved to this city from their farm
some time ago largely for the pur-
pose of giving their children better
school advantages and it was while
the deceased son was a student al
the normal training school that the
accident which took his life occurred
This should serve as a warning to
children who are inclined to take ad-
vantage of another chld's fear, for
this accident and death was brought
about as the result of dread-dread
of snakes. Little Charles's play
mates wrapped snake in paper
and ran after him. The little fellow
sought refuge by running rapidly
across the paviny, not aware of the
presence or approach of a team draw
ing a load of coal He was knocked
down by one of the horses and the
wheels passed over his tender body
The time of the funeral services
will be announced later.

congress PLANS
ON 4 VACATION
HOPES TO DIs OSE OF PEACE
TREATY " FIRST OF
NOV ENBER

Washington, d. c., Oct. with
disposition on the part of the peace
treaty expected by November /, con-
pressional leaders are discussing the
prospects of closing the extraordinary
session, which began May 10, so as
TO have a months rest before the
regular December session begins.
Pressure is planned this week in
the senate to dispose of treaty amend
ments. That relatin gto Shantung is
to be taken up today with a vote eX-
pected in a few days. Amendments
by Senators Johnson, California, and
Moses, New Hampshire, republicans,
to equalize votes of the United States
and Great Britain in the league of
nations are to follow. Leaders hope
that by the middle of next week all
amendments will be disposed of. Res
ervations then will be considered.
President Wilson's illness may have
an effect on the treaty situation. 1t
is not expected to cause and substan-
tial delay in considering the pact
while the amendments are before the
senate, but when reservations are
reached, the Presidents counsel is
deemed highly necessary, as demo-
cratic leaders have not had oppor-
tunity to discuss with him what res
ervations would be acceptable.

transaction of business. After adopt
ing the minutes of the previous meet
ing the city treasurer's report for

A resolution which makes it
peremptory on the part of property
owners on Egan avenue S. to Fourth

during the month just closed were
carefully checked over and allowed

Sheriff Keller and Fire Chief Clyde
Walker made a plea for material
with which to partition off a space
in the front part of the fire hall, up
stairs. Mr.. Keller explained that the
fire boys desired to fit up room for
sort of club. The need of such a
place was recognized hence the COM
mission voted to order the necessary
lumber. There being no further
business, the meeting adjourned.

BALLOON Lands
IN ISOLATED SECTION
WORD RECEIVED FROM CRAFT
Two OTHERS STILL
MISSING

St. Louis, Mo-, Oct. Three days
after landing in an isolated section
of Canada, Capt Paul G. McCul-
Tough, plotting the ST. Louis "a in
the national championship balloon
race, reported the position of his
balloon as about $50 miles northeast
of ST. Louis.
Capt. McCullough's craft pene-
trated heavily wooded and sparsely
settled section just east of Georgian
bay and landed near Parry Sound.
Capt. Mccullough made his way in
three days on foot to Waubamik,
where he filed message.
The S4's distance record does not
change the results of the race as far
as known of the championship, the
Goodyear III, piloted by Ralph Upson,
having made flight of 1850 miles.
Capt. McCullough's report gives
added assurance to officials of the
race that the cerws of two missing
balloons, the Wichita, Kan, entry
and the st. Louis V, probably have
undergone similar experience and
have landed in some remote northern
section.

Predicts a Cold,
Stormy Winter

Alexandria, Oct. 7.-Hicks and
other weather "sharps' have nothing
on VIM. Twining, of Alexandria, who,
during the last few years has gained
a statewide reputation because of his
accurate weather forecasts. Recent
ly he has been studying the "signs. I"
and now goes on record with the fol-
lowing forecast of what the fall and
winter will be like as far as weather
conditions are concerned:
Don't take too much stock this
fall in the theory of 'squaw win
ter and then Indian summer. Round
up the fall work quickly, get in an
extra ton or two of coal while the
getting is good, and get ready for
a cold, stormy winter"
Last spring Twining forecast the
weather for the summer, and his fore
cast proved accurate.

MICHIGAN ONCE HAD SLAVES
Only In 1886 Did human chatteIs Be
come Improbable to Their
Owners In That State.

Few Detroiters Of the present gen.
slave territory, or that the city OF
Detroit, for a period of nearly one
hundred years, Included a considerable
number Of slaves in its population, OBJ
serves the Detroit News. The early
French settlers lived largely by trad
ing with the Indians. At first they
bought furs only, but each spring the
Indians Of Michigan would make war
raids into territory south and west,
and they would bring back captives
whom they sometimes killed by tor
ture, but later they found it more prof
liable to sell them to the white settlers
as slaves. Most of these Indian slaves
were from the Pawnee tribe.
Later negro slaves were bought in
the East, principally in the state Of
New York. When the British, took pos
session in 1880 they found quite a
number Of slaves, Indians and negro,
and they continued the practice. The
census OF the district in 1773 showed
46 men and 80 women slaves in COM
munity that numbered less that 300
adult white men. In 1872 there were
179 slaves in Detroit. The ordinance
of 1887 forbade slavery In the North
west territory, but Detrditers paid no
attention to this Constitutional act.
There were enough negroes In Detroit
In 1907, slave and free, to enable Gov
ernor Hull to organize company of
colored militia.
In 1918 the assessor for Wayne cOun-
ty made slaves taxable property, and
this proved a encouragement to slave
holding. By 1882 there were only 81
slaves left in Michigan territory, and
in 1886 the last one had been manu-
mitted. Less than 20 years later Mich
igan. having found slayehOlding I'M
profitable, became ardently abolition
list, and Detroit was converted into a
terminal of the underground railway"
through which runaway slaves from
the South found their way to freedom
