HAD DANGEROUS
TINE IN STORM
FINALLY REACHES HOME AFTER
NEARLY LOSING LIFE OUT
ON PRAIRIE.

Fort Pierre, March S.-After be-
ing snow-bound the blizzard which
swept over this section of the coun-
try recently, William Powell man
aged to reach his home here last
week from Eagle Butte, via Mo-
bridge. He is now recuperating from
the effects of the storm and is still
in critical condition.
Powell has been employed by a
banking concern for some time and
at the time of the big storm was
gathering up horses and cattle of the
Sonnenschein stock on the Cheyenne
river brakes. He was on his way to
Eagle Butte, small inland settle
ment, for supplies when the storm
struck him with all its fury. His
team after plowing along for several
hours came to halt, completely ex-
hausted He unhitched them, and
mounting one and leading the other
attempted to pursue his course thru
the binding snow. The storm how
ever became worse and finally the
horses refused to face the wind and
while Powell was familiar with the
country over which he was travelling,
he became confused and this with
the intense cold nearly overcame
him. He was out in the blizzard for
just "a hours, wandering over the
prairie completely lost, but on the
morning the storm cleared he found
he was just one mile from his des'
tination, Eaggle Butte.
For three days snow and ice wa.
ter were applied to his feet and hi
finally was permitted to leave his
bed. The toes of one foot, both
heels and his face was badly frozen

Aberdeen Fire
Sweeps Store

Aberdeen, March S.@The clothing
store owned by Myer Kadesky on
South Main street was the scene of
fire that threatened to wipe out
the entire block of frame structures.
The discovery of the first almost
Immediately and the fast work of
the fire department saved a huge
loss and the flames were confined
to the Kadesky store.
Although the blaze was apparently
under control soon after the arrival
of the fire-fighters, the walls and
partitions were smouldering for
some hours. At one time shortly
after midnight the entire interior of
the store burst into flames, but this
was soon extinguished.
The loss is roughly estimated at
about $4,000, of this amount $780,
900 covers the stock and $4,000 the
loss to the building. The stock was
covered by insurance. 1t is said.

GOV. MCMASTER
SPEAKSAT MEMO
GAINS MANY FRIENDS IN THE
LARGE AUDIENCE in AT
TENDANCE.

Memo, March 8.-Governor Nc
Master spoke here last week to an
audience of over 400 people, that
overflowed the city hall and pre-
vented many from hearing him. For
two hours the governor held his au-
dience in close attention and, in a
direct and forceful address, gained
the respect of an audience that was
before him because they wanted to
know the facts about state affairs.
Many were present who, since Mr..
Egan's speech here last week. had
come to believe that there was some
thing radically wrong with the state
management under the present ad-
ministration.
The governor, in a manner that
convinced his audience of his sim
cerity, answered Mr.. Egan's charges
in every respect to the satisfaction
of his hearers and, by an able pre-
sentation of the facts in each case,
convinced the people that here has
been an audacious attempt made to
betray them. That is the feeling
among the people here, who feel that
Mr.. Egan undoubtedly overeached
himself when he attempted to gain
votes by misrepresenting facts and
insinuating half-truths.
A clear presentation of what the
administration actually is doing for
the farmers and the people in gen.
eral in a constructive way, through
the work of the railroad commission
in it's fight for more equitable freight
rates; the fruitful efforts of the
state department of agriculture in
aiding cooperative marketing enter
prises; the effort the administration
is making to bring about the devel.

sincerity and honesty, convinced the

Sioux Falls, March S.-Any ex-
service man who has suffered from
any injury, disease or an aggrava-
ton therefrom, during the period he
was in service, has until August 8 to

or vocational training. This informa-
ton was given out yesterday after

tant of the American Legion, follow
ing receipt of bulletin from Wash

COMPANY ENTERS
BIG BEET FIELD
AT LEAST 1000 ACRES BELLE
FOURCHE DISTRICT BE DE-
VOTED TO SUGAR BEETS.

Belle Fourche, March 8.-That
the Belle Fourche district is consid-
cred too valuable field for sugar
beet raising to be abandoned, Is in
dicated by the fact that the Holly
Sugar company, one of the biggest
concerns in the west, has a repre-
sentative in the Belle Fourche val
ley, ready to do business with the
farmers.
Roy Indicott, representing the
above company, which operates a re-
finery at Sheridan, has been author
ized to offer a flat rate Of $3.50 per
ton, providing the farmers will con-
tract to raise not less than 1000
acres this season, and providing a
railroad rate of not more than 81
per ton can be secured for shipment
of the beets to the Sheridan factory.
The Belle Fourche commercial
club, at the request of Mr.. Indicott,
has wired the Great Western Sugar
company asking for lease of the
latter company's beet dumps ana APP
paratus, that company having signi-
fled a willingness to sell or lease its
property in Butte county.
Another representative of the Hol-
ly company arrived from Denver for
conference with the commercial
club and farmers of the valley, ano
it is expected that something defin-
lite can be announced within the next
few days.
One thing seems quite certain at
this time-either the Great Western
or the Holly people will be operating
in this district this year.

NO FUNDS TO
BREAK GORGE
WAR DEPARTMENT SAYS TT
CAN'T HELP in THREATENED
MISSOURI TROUBLE.

Yankton, March S.-Yankton can
expect no help from the war depart
ment or government in its efforts to
deal with possible ice gorges in the
Missouri river. Lack of funds Is
given as the excuse in replies to
quiries made by President e. J..
Downing, of the Yankton Chamber
of Commerce, which was attempting
to secure government aid in partlo-
ling the river and in bombing from
the air any gorges that might form.
If anything along this line is done
it will probably have to be done
through local efforts and at local
expense.
President Dowling had written to
Major Gilbert Van B. Wilkes, of the
u. s. A. engineering corps at Kansas
City, Mo-, asking if any assistance
could be given. Major Wilkes has
writtne back that no funds are avail
able for that purpose, but that If the
situation becomes serious enough he
will send an assistant, or come him
self, to take charge and do what
ever can be done.
On Saturday President Dowline
wired to Senator Peter Norbeck, and
to Congressman Royal G. Johnson
asking them to apply to the war de
partment. Yesterday he received the
following reply from Senator Nor
beck:

that no funds are available for pur

journey to Sioux City. The dog was
sent back to Yankton by express.
