Miner Survives Explosive Fuse After Hoist Jam
William Pinkerton, an Oro Hondo mine employee near Lead, South Dakota, lit a fuse connected to large quantities of explosives and then jumped into a hoist bucket. The engine failed, leaving him suspended a few feet from the blast. He crawled under boards in the shaft, lay flat, and narrowly escaped as the shots exploded, suffering only a minor head wound. This rare escape is noted as one of the Black Hills’ remarkable mining rescues.

New Theory on Hog Cholera Proposed at Mitchel Address
Prof Hilton Iris Jones of Dakota Wesleyan University in Mitchell spoke at the dedication of the state university’s new chemistry building. He argued hog cholera is a disease of ductless glands secrets and that the virus may be a diseased internal secretion. The talk cited collaboration with the late Prof Henry A Torrey of Harvard. He noted the gallant work unlikely to alter U S Department of Agriculture efforts but could revolutionize treatment if proven correct. The South Dakota State University reports its enrollment at a high, with nearly 300 freshmen and a top notch chemistry facility.
