RAIL BOARD SEEKS
NEW PEACE PARLEY
INVITATION SENT TO EXECU-
TIVES AND UNIONS TO DIS
CUSS SENIORITY CUES
TION.

Chicago, Aug S-Conflicting re-
ports on the condition of rolling
stock on western roads reached the
United Press today. Rail brother
hood representatives asserted that
engines and cars were fast becomins Z
dangerous to operate, and intimated
that a crisis looms. Rail executives
of western roads issued a statement
declaring that the conditions were
increasingly favoring.
In the meantime the railroad Ia
Dor board issued an invitation to the
executives and unions to bring the
seniority question before the board.
This action was taken as a special
meeting last night. The invitation
expressed a willingness, not only to
hear the seniority dispute, but prom
ised rehearing of wages and work
ing conditions, two of the original
causes of the strike. The third is
sue was on contract labor which the
carriers have already agreed to ac-
cept.
Action came after reports of the
refusal of both the executives and
unions to consider the latest peace
proposal from the White House. Ii
was, therefore. not believed that the
boards invitation would be accept

Mitchell Will Lay
Water Mains

Mitchell, Aug. 8--Five miles OF
water mains are to be constructed
in Mitchell this year. Bids on the
work will be opened next Monday
night by the city council 1t is ex-
petced that the work will be rushed
to completion before winter sets in.
This is the largest amount of wa
ter main construction that has ever
been undertaken at one time in the
city. The project was authorized
three years ago by an issue of sewer
and water bonds, but because of the
condition of the financial market
the council was not able to dispose
of the bonds until this year.

FARMERS ADVISED To
CHECK GRAIN SALES
PRESIDENT OF ARMOUR PACK.
ING co. ADVISES SLOW AND
ORDERLY MARKETING.

Chicago, Aug. S-President Geo.
Marcy, of the Armour Grain COM
pany, issued a signed statement urg-
ing farmers to hold back their grain
for reasonable prices and saying that
as prices for grain go up better bus
mess conditions throughout the
whole country will follow. He says:
+ "An upward movement in grain
prices is in prospect and the situa-
tion promises to be of such financial
benefit to the American farmer that
he in turn will be in a position to
materially improve general business
conditions.
"An orderly and gradual market
ing of existing wheat stocks will end
the present depressed price condi-
tions" and there. are tremendous &C.
onomic factors at work to force
more stable marketing.
Settlement of the coal strike
will result in decreased amount of
rolling stock capable of moving
grain to terminals and expected inn
provement in general business con-
ditions should further affect the
amount of equipment available.
THE American farmer holds the
key to the situation. With the
farmer wisely holding back his grain
with economic conditions working
toward the same result, the end of
the present low level on farm pro-
ducts seems to be in sight, and as
prices for grains go up better bust
ness conditions throughout the
whole country will follow"

INDIAN MOUNDS
NEAR M|LbANK
UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR DIS
COVERS INTERESTING RELIC
IN NORTHERN PART OF
THE STATE.

Milbank, Aug. S-W. +. Hover,
curator of the museum at the South
Dakota university, has made inn
portant discoveries in the Hartford
district, near here, which indicate
that mound builders occupied this
part of the northwest previous to
the advent of the Indians. He To-
Gated a couple of these mounds, one
at the top of Hartford hill and dug
into it. - al -
He found lot of bones, including
two human skulls and quite a num-
ber of ocean shells that had beer
cut to about the size of 25-ceni
coin, and with holes in the center
of them, indicating that they might
have been used as ornaments. The
skulls were shaped very much diff
ferent from Indian skulls. Th'
mound was marked and the skulls
will be placed in the university mu-
scum
Prof. Hover has located a number
of other mounds along Big Ston,
Lake and will open some of them in
the near future. Some interesting
discoveries are expected to be made
in them.
The theory of many is that th'
mound builders were annihilated. BY
the Indians as the Indians wer,
driven westward by the tide of whitt
settlement.

The recent incident in Montana,
wherein motor highwaymen held UP

shows that desperadoes are adopt

TION FAILS, SO MAN IL RE-
TURNED TO OFFICER.

Memo Efforts to ascertain the
identity of men who held up Sheriff

the point of guns and temporarily
took prisoner from him, have thus
far proven unsuccessful. The men
We're masked and therefore identiti-
cation was difficult.
The sheriff was driving with his
prisoner to Olivet, the county seat.
when suddenly the masked men ap-
peared. They were armed with
rifles and revolvers. Then the pris-
oner who was accused of being m
plicated in the theft of Dodge car,
was turned over to them they de-
manded to know the name of the
ringleader in the car theft The
prisoner replied that he didn't know.
The masked men were provided
with a rope, and fastening this
about the neck of, the prisoner, they
strung him up to a nearby bridge.
On being lowered he was again ask
ed who the. chief thief was. Again
he protested that he didn't know.
He was once more hauled up on
the rope, and was kept in the air
until he was so far gone that his
tongue was hanging out. On being
lowered once more, he was again
asked who stole the Dodge, his re-
ply being the same as before-thar
he didn't know.
Evidently realizing that the pris-
oner could not give them the infor-
nation desired, the masked men
turned him back to Sheriff Schmidt.
Later the prisoner was claimed by
the sheriff of Bon Homme county
and turned over to that official.
Owing to the fact that the MEM
bers of the mob were masked, Sher-
iff Schmidt vast unable to recog-
nize any of them, they being careful
that their masks did not slip and re-

COAL SHORTAGE
BECOMES ACUTE
REPORTS TO STATE FUEL AD-
MHNISTRATION SHOW SHORT
AGE OF 2,5OO,OOO TONS.

Pierre, Aug. 8-A shortage of O.
100000 tons of coal in this state is
indicated by the reports so far re-
ceived by Fuel Administrator j. J..
Murphy.
He has received reports from
practically one-fourth of the towns
to which he sent inquiries, those 80
far received being from Ill out Of
430 towns called upon.
In these places they show that
their receipts since April last have
been 28,774 tons, when their norm
al receipts to this date would have
been 320,123 tons.
The estimated shortage is based
on the figures received carried out
as to the towns not yet reporting.
With the other states of the north
west in practically the same situa-
ton, this means that the Ignite
mines of the northwest are likely to
be drawn upon heavily for the conf
ing winter, as it will be practically
impossible to get the coal needed to
the head of the lakes before navi.
cation is closed.
One feature of the local situation
is at the government Indian schoo
here, which has no coal for the
coming winter, and Major Crandal
in charge, states that he has no in
formation as to just where he viii
get it, and that may delay the open
| ing of the school next month.
