EARTHQUAKE AT KIMBALL

kimball Star:-An earth quake
shock was noticed in this city sh-
ortly before 8 o'clock yesterday
morning. 1t was quite notice
able n some sections Of the city
while in others it was light and in
others it was not noticeable at all.
In the extreme south part of the
city, chairs, dishes and doors did
various stunts while more in the
central part of the city doors sw-
ing and the dancing organ was a
reality. A good many were frig-
htened badly but the majority of
people moved along at the same
old pace and never mistrusted VIII
at was happening Or knew what
had happened until afterwards.
Reports from Chamberlain are to
the effect that the damage was
great there. Many Chimneys we
re shaken down, dishes broken
and many people fled from brick
buildings, thinking they might
aopple over. This is the second
one Kimball has witnessed in alb
out a year. The other one was
not rs damaging and only notic-
able to pedestrians. 1t acted
different. Not so many objects
moved but the people walking ex-
pericnced great difficulty. at the
time it was effective, to make tn
cir feet and the ground connect.

Ed Barr Has;
Hard Fight

Belvidere, S. D., Dec. 3l.-Ed
Barr had a thrilling experience Wi
tn savage prairie wolf a few da-
VS. ago and had it not been for the
timely arrival Of his son on the
scene of action it is hard to say
what the outcome of the fight mi
ght have been.
Ed noticed the wolf out near a
how stack and supposed it was
just a common measly coyote that
eat it as soon as he got
near, but this wolf did not see tn
h9t vav and as soon as Ed
got near him the wolf came right
at him.
AS he sprang for him Ed reach
ed out with his hands to guard off
the wolf and in some way got the
animal by the ears and not once
during the struggle that followed
did he let go, and by keeping that
hold he prevented the wolf from
using his fangs upon him.
1t was no easy matter, however,
to maintain that hold with a strug
Cling wolf and Ed had just about
made UP his mind to let go and
try for a grip on the beasts throat
when his son Roy, who had seen
the fight, reached them.
Roy had no weapon but he eau
ght the wolf by the hind legs, and
as his father released his hold he
swung the wolf over his head and
pounded it to death upon the fro
zen ground.

ENGINEERS NEEDED
Demand Increases So Rapidly that May Sections Find Difficulty Ob- taining Men.

Chicago, H., Sept. 1.-The de- mand for engineers and technical men of almost every type has increased so much within the last month that many sections of the country are ex- periencing difficulty in filling vacan- cies says the report of the employ ment department of the American As- sociation of Engineers.
 Largest activity has been displayed in the building industry with highway and municipal work progressing with added vigor, the report states. The demand for architectural and struc- tural draftsmen and designers with building, or plant experience has far exceeded the supply in almost all sec tions of the country.
 While the general conditions are still some irregularity but the main better at this time than they have been for more than two years there is trend shows improvement supported by prospects of further gain" the re- port continued. Added reasons for a more hopeful feeling appear in the continued increase in the operation of the iron and steel industry the dimin- ishing of unemployment of skilled and unskiled labor and the active pro- gression of building operation"

SHOWING SIGNS OF
 STRONG COMEBACK
Sweden First Nation in Europe to
 Recover From RaYages Of War

| Stockholm Sept. That Sweden has definitely survived the post war crisis and is one of the first nations in Europe to show a natural and con- sistent recovery, appears from the monthly report on the foreign trade of this country during June, which has just been issued. The export of timber and sawn wood, staple commodity, has grown so rapidly that the volume is now 97 per cent of the peace-time figures. At the end of June the timber sales were close to 600,000 standards, which is considerably more than half of the normal yearly output The export of matches is 95 per cent Of the pre-war normal, and 1t Is encouraging that the export of iron ore has even surpass- ed pre-war figures by three per cent. As regards wood pulp and paper, which America buys from Sweden in large quantities, the figures for the month exceed the 1913 figures for the corresponding month by IS to 72 per cent. Incidentally it is reported that one reason why the quotations on sul- phite pulp are high is the increased demand from the United States for the manufacture of artificial silk. Newsprint, which is shipped in great volume to America, shows an export figure 72 per cent above that of 1913.
 In the line of manufactured indus trial products the quantity of electri- cal machines and apparatus, ball bearings and telephones is nearly three times that of June. 1913. Cream separators and motors have risen to 59 per cent of the pre-war figure.
 A similar indication of prosperity is seen in the increased imports of raw material needed for Swedish in dustries. American dealers in copper will be interested to know that Swed- ems imports of that metal have reached S4 per cent of the pre-war figure.

INTENSE INTEREST
 IN MICH. ELECTION
"NeWberryism' Is Slogan Adopt
 ed by CampaienerS

Lansing. Mich, Sept, 1. (By the As sociated Press) voters will go to the polls September 12 to name party nominees for United States sen ator. governor, lieutenant governor members of congress. state legislators and local officers. Overshadowing all other contests in point of statewide interest is that for the republican nomination for United States senator. There are four candidates in the feld--Senator Charles E. Townsend, State Senator Herbert F. Baker, Con- gressman Patrick H. Kelley and John G. Emery formerly national com mander of the American Legion The paramount issue in the vigorous cam paign they are conducting is excess sive campaign expenditures. With Michigan the horse state of Senator Truman H. Newberry, "Newberryism" has come to be the slogan of the campaign and all other issues have comparatively been lost sight of.
 Stands Taken.
 Baker, Kelley and Emery are bas- ing their campaigns upon a denun- citation of "Newberryism. Senator Townsend, in reply, has held stead fastly to the position that his actions in the senate call for no apology He has declared that he lis as much against excessive expenditures as anyone" In the Newberry case he admits that ''too much money was spent but not that any money was illegally spent"
 Former Governor Woodbridge N Ferris is unopposed for the demo- cratic senatorial nomination.
 Governor Alex J. Groesbeck is op- posed for republican renomination by Former State Labor Commissioner Richard H. Fletcher and Theodore M. Joslin of Adrian. Both Joslin and Fletcher are asking for votes as a protest against alleged excessive ex- penditures in the conduct of the states business. They also assert that Governor Groesbeck has created an

 But Two Opposed.
 Of the nine congressman who are running for renomination all but two are opposed. The republican nomin- alton Is usually considered equivalent to election, Congressman Earl Mich ener Is opposed by s, E. Crawford of Ypsilanti; J. M. c. Smith by Brewster E.

VALUED SLAVE MORE
 THAN HIS WEALTH
Late Thomas Peacock Traded land
 for Negro

| Atlanta, Sept. If Thomas Peacock had clung to a piece of At- Ianta real estate that he swapped years ago for Ran Peacock, a negro slave. he would have been worth at least $100,000 before he died. But he never regretted 1t, according to his statement.
 Death now has claimed them both. MT. Peacock died few years ago, and Uncle Ram passed away the other day at the age of s3. The property increases in value yearly as Atlanta grows, but 1t was the best bargain I ever made" was the white mans remark few years ago when he saw a great office building going up on the lot at Whitehall and Ala bama streets, one of the most valu- able corners in the city.
 Story of Trade.
 The story behind the trade is that of the affection of the old-time south erner for the slave boy who was his especial playmate. Seventy years ago before Lewis Peacock died, in ap- portioning out his property he left Ran to his daughter, Mrs. Thomas Connolly. Young Thomas Peacock. few years later, gave his sister his fourth interest in the Alabama Whitehall corner for Ran, who, as a likely young negro. was NNrth around s1,500. Mrs Connollys son now owns the lot and the Connolly building which stands on it. Real estate men say the lot itself is worth $400,o00 or more.
 Peacock said it was the best bar gain he ever made because when he went away to war he left Ran to take care of Mrs. Peacock and the children and it was Ran who worked the plan- tation near Atlantic and foraged for the wife and children of his master after Sherman's soldiers had burned the city and stripped the country side of food.
