MAN DIES FROM
BITE OF INSECT
TICK PROVES FATAL TO WELL
KNOWN RANCHER OF WEST
BUTTE COUNTY.

Belle Fourche, June Thomas l..
Broadhurst, well known rancher of
West Butte county was buried Mon
day, his death resulting from the bite
of tick. Mr. Broadhurst is thought
to have been bitten about May z, and
was taken down with fever four days
later dying on the 14th day of the
fever.
Himself and family diagnosed his
case as that of the influenza and
gave 1t no very serious attention.
When a physician was called, he
pronounced the case one of Rocky
mountain spotted fever, the name by
which this special and fatal disease
produced by the bite of this tick is
called in medical books.
Mr.. Broadhurst, before his death,
was SO thoroughly covered by blush
spots that the physician in charge
said they equaled. he thought, a
third of the body.
This is one of the most fatal few
ers known to this nation. often PROV
ing fatal in 80 per cent of the cases,
These ticks are most prevalent in the
Bitter Root valley. Mont, where the
government has a physician station
ed studying the cause and seeking
the cure of this disease.
The victim of this tick bite is
from three TO four days in develop
ing fever and If it proves fatal. it
nglatlU hnfWanr ha 81
fifteenth days; If the subject lives as
long as two weeks after the first few
er development, he is likely to re-
cover.
Some physicians say the tick,
whose bite is fatal. is al least two
years old, and has bitten in its time
some diseased animal, such as a calf
with the black leg.
The safest treatment, physicians
here who have had some experience
with the disease say, is never, in the
first place, to attempt to pull the
tick from the flesh, but to turn A
bottle of turpentine upside down on
the tick, covering it with the mouth
of the bottle. This oil sickens the
tick and he loosens his hold and
drops off. Clean the wound and
open ii half an inch or so in length
and let 1t bleed freely. Then cleanse
and apply carbolic acid. The terri
tory where this tick has been found
Is in extreme western South Dakota,
Wyoming, Montana and Colorado.

Refuse to
Lease Sandbar

Pierre, June 1-State Land
Commissioner N. E. knight has de-
clined to grant a term lease asked for
on a strip of sandbar between two
lakes in Marshall county. The tract
is worthless for either farming or
grazing, and is only about 90 acres.
1t is one of the best duck passes be-
tween two lakes in that part of the
state, and so long as 1t is worthless
to agriculture there is suspicion
that those who are asking for the
lease expected to use it to shut out
the other hunters. For this reason
the lease was denied.

There has been nooff1cial an nouncement from Washington of the new rules and regulations regarding amateur stations up to the time of this issue of Radio Nipples. The experts are still conferring with Her bert Hoover-Readers of this paper may be certain that they will find all the results of this conference in these columns as soon as it is possible to give them in detail.
 Fading"
 It sometimes occurs that signals or concerts from the Broadcasting Sta tions fade" or swing badly. This is thought to be due to conditions of the atmosphere. but if signals from different stations fade, the receiving set is doubtless to blame and is frequently found to be due to weak hlarnent or B. Battery. An irregular hissing or frying noise is frequently another indication of an exhausted B. or Plate Battery.
 Question and Answer Dept.

 a. This may be reduced by sh heathing the cabinet inside with tin foil, sticking it to same by shellac which is a. ninsulatOr. Do not use glue Let dry and then connect the entire sheath to ground binding post. Be careful that the 'tin-foil does not touch other binding parts or parts

 q. Since becoming a Radio fan my ears. have become large and Jumps like bunions have appeared on them. Is this caused by the eth CT waves

secretary OF the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals In
England. He writes that his country
gets some very bad films from America,
which are open to strong objections from
the humane standpoint. Secretary Fair
holme writes that very strong i'm
preston is given In England that cruelty
is allowed in America on account of the
films sent abroad.
II Is evident that strict censorship
should be established in this country
TO suppress many of the films which are
allowed 10 be used. inclose herewith

mitted in the United States.

OF modernism. In the older days,
when the landscape painters palette
was based on lead white and gener-
ally confined to Prussian blue, chrome
yellow and chrome green, cows
grazed where landscape painters were
sketching outdoors with no sign OF
death observable after the painters
had packed up their kits and gone
home for the day. But since modern
ism has come into vogue, with It's
palette based on zinc white and en-
ploying emeraude green, lemon yel-
low, rose madden, alizarin crimson
and similar colors used by the paint
ers since CEzANNE, the peace-loving
and useful COW has suffered.
1t is probable that followers OF
modernism in art will resent this
grave implication. But the fact Is
that the tale of the bovine casualties
remains undenied, and to that extent
it holsters up the elder brethren's
argument. And it may be that mod
ernism in art has in effects on the
dairy farmers business something
else to be responsible for besides
heated disputes and lost tempers and
broken friendships.
