HOWARD - During the electric storm Tuesday nite, the barn on a farm worked by Oscar
Valin, seven miles northwest of Howard, was struck by lightning and burned to
the ground. A horse, new buggy harness, a load of corn, some hay, 100 bushels
of millet seed, and three hogs were also burned. Valin, who slept
in the house three rods away, knew nothing of the fire until neighbors came to
assist in getting the stock out of the barn. FLANDREAU - No trace has been found of Chris Grotjohn, of Spring Creek, who disappeared mysteriously on April 10. He walked into town and bought a pair of shoes. The day was one of the stormiest of the spring, and relatives fear that in walking home he got lost and froze to death. He had been living with his brother, Harry, in Spring Creek township, about 10 miles from Flandreau. They owned and worked the farm together. STAMFORD - Without doubt the most unique bridge in the state has been provided by the commercial club at what is known as the Rocky Ford crossing of White Riiver, near town. The bridge is a cable stretched across the river, to which a huge basket is attached. Homesteaders and others coming to and going from town are hauled back and forth across the river in the basket. [No surnames here, but I tho't this so interesting. No, I wouldn't have liked to ride in this, no matter how much I wanted to get to town! - csr]! Stamford, South Dakota, United States [Place] is in Jackson County; location is 43�53'42"N 101�5'19"W; elevation is 2,398 feet [SourceGSP] * note, no "population" stated. csr DELMONT - As the result of getting possession of a dynamite cap during the temporary absence of his father, Johnnie McMahan, the 10 year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. William McMahan, living near town, had two of his fingers blown off and was badly burned about the breast. To discover whether the dynamite cap would explode, he placed a lighted match to it. [see April 25, 1913 edition - Madison dateline...another boy did the same thing!!! I'm hoping descendants will spot these and learn just WHY "great grandpa" didn't have fingers! csr] ABERDEEN - Fred Seaman, a pioneer of Faulkton, who had recently returned to that place from Florida, where he had gone in a fruitless quest for health, committed sucide by shooting himself through the head with a revolver. ============================== |
TRAIN WRECK CAUSED BY CHILDREN AT PLAY Volga, SD - April 25 - The mystery of the wreck on the Chicago & Northwestern railroad
recently was cleared up through the efforts of Claim Agent Winter.
He found a clue that led to the home of A. Santema, a farmer residing a couple
of miles from where the wreck took place. Learning where the three Santema children
had been playing along the railroad track before the train was wrecked, Winter
questioned them, and a six year-old boy admitted that he had placed a large
nut on the track, which caused the derailment of the train. The other two
children were a boy and girl, aged 8 and 10 years, respectively. The childred
found the nuts and other pieces of iron along the right of way, and as
the nuts were too large to play with they placed them on the track without realizing
the danger of their act. --------------------------------------------------- GUNS ARE FORFEITED TO OFFENDED FARMER Howard, SD - April 25 - W. F. Kavaney, a farmer living some miles from town, has
possession of two valuable shotguns--- and the interesting feature of the matter
is that the owners do not dare to call upon him for the surrender of the weapons.
The owners of the weapons, who are supposed to be hunters, took Kavaney's
new buggy without his knowledge and after driving it through mud on a hunting
expedition, left it outside Kavaney's barn at night. When he saw the
buggy and noticed how mudbespattered it was, Kavaney was pretty mad, but when
he found the weapons in the buggy, where the hunters had evidently overlooked them
in their effort to be as quiet as possible in returning the buggy, he came
to the conclusion that he was ahead of the game after all. And in the meantime
two men are out valuable weapons and do not dare to claim them, as to do
so would reveal their identity. --------------------------------------------------- WILL GAIN FREEDOM AFTER THIRTY YEARS Pierre, SD - April 25 -- The way to freedom has been opened to Edward Davis, who
was sent to the penitentiary 17 years ago from Stanley county on a charge of murder.
Davis, who was a boy at that time, was found guilty of murdering a
Wyoming horse dealer by the name of Carlson, and disposing of his horses.
Davis claimed the death of Carlson resulted from a fight, but he was given a life
sentence. He has had an application before the state board for commutation
of sentence for many years, but this has been opposed by residents of
Stanley county. But after this lapse of time the opposition to clemency
has been withdrawn and the board commuted the sentence to 30 years, which,, with
good time off, means that Davis will be free in less than a year. The board also recommended a pardon for William Widesley, sent from Gregory county on a larceny charge. --------------------------------------------------- PERFUMERY USED FOR PURPOSES OF BEVERAGE Pierre, SD - April 25 -- Frank Mesteth, an Indian lad of 17 years, is causing all
kinds of trouble at the Indian school in this city. The boy has been getting
drunk and an investigation brought out the fact that he had been spending
money sent him from home to buy perfumery, which he used for drinking purposes.
Superintendent Crandall has issued notice that he will apply the law where
anything is sold to his pupils containing alcohol. ============================== |

NINETY-FOURTH ANNIVERSARY OF ODD FELLOWSHIP The Odd Fellows and Rebekahs spent a most enjoyable evening last Saturday in their
hall on the 94th anniversary of that order. Rev. J.L. Walsh delivered a very interesting address, followed by short speeches from other members. Many laughable stunts were indulged in, and ice cream, cake, sandwiches and coffee were enjoyed. Sunday forenoon the members of both orders marched to the Presbyterian church, where they, and many others, listend to a highly interesting sermon delivered by Rev. G. Isaac. No morning services were held in the Methodist church in order that Rev. Walsh and his congregation might attend the services in the Presbyterian church. The attendance at both the church and hall was large, and the sermon was greatly appreciated. ============================== ============================== C. E. LECTURE COURSE WAS A GRAND SUCCESS The last number of the Christian Endeavor lecture course was given Monday night.
The Huron Trio, consisting of Miss Hazel B. Peeks, reader, Mr. Fred A. Palmer,
baritone, and Mr. Everett L. Hunt, tenor, greatly delighted the large audience
with a well-rendered program. Miss Fay Reeves, who also is a studen
at Huron College, presided at the piano. Mrs. C.W. Miller assisted in the
program by giving readings. That each participant in the program deserves credit for the manner in which he or she rendered his or her part, was amply proven by the long and hearty encores given by the audience. The manner in which the songs were rendered by Messrs. Palmer and Hunt showed no small amount of vocal training. Miss Peek gives promise of developing into one of the best readers on the platform in the very near future -- in fact shows a high degree of training right now --and, we understand, will go on the Chautauqua platform this summer, on a tour through Kansas. This lecture course, under the direction of the C. E. Society, has proven a decided success --in the way of entertainment and instruction, as well as financially. The society will have about $40.00 left in its treasury for next winter's course. ============================= |
