The Bank of Klmball's new fire.
proof vault is now completed and is
one of the best structures Of the kind
IN the west. 1t is 8 by 10 feet in size
and rests on solid foundation of
stone six feet in depth. The walls
are Of brick two feet in thickness,
running through which is an ayr
chamber which serves the double pur-
pose of giving proper ventilation to
the vault as we'll as providing a bet
ter protection in case of fire. The
massive doors to the vault arc two III
number and were supplied by the
Dicbolt Safe and Lock Co. of Canton
Ohio. They are both fitted with i'm
proved combination locks Perhaps
the best thing about the vault is the
burglar.proof chest furnished by the
same company. 1t is fitted with the
hest combination lock and the cele
brated Yale time locks, and is consid-
cred the most perfect burglar-proof
safe made. 1t certainly is model
of workmanship. The kimball edi-
tors now sleep swectly knowing t...eir
vaiuables are safe.
Mitchell, Dak., Special telegram,
Aug. Especial Agent James Of the
interior department returned from
Castalia, Charles Mix county. this
morning, where he has worked up
one of the most opcn-faced swin,lles
for a single operator yet pcrpetuated
in this or the lanktsn land district
One Sanford McGinn,s came from
Indiana last spring, and accepted
coPartncrsh'p with Schwindt & Long
Of klmball. Soon thereafter his M
terest with the firm was discontinued.
and McGinnis began fraudulent land
proceedings. Tins far, Mr.. James
stated, McGinnis had, to his absolute
knowledge, with corroborativc evi-
denoe, forged several affilavits, one
with the name Of William Andrews
He also forged three declaratory
statements, which have been found
in the Yankton land office. McGinms
was arrested yesterday by United
States Marshal Nelson, and while en-
route for tins city on the midnight
train he slipped the officer, jumped
from the coach and disappeared into
the darkness. The train stopped, and
the officers started in pursuit. They
were on the trail all night, and are
still hunting. 1t is said McGinnis
has swindled many innocent people
and received many hundreds of dol
lars.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

words are strong enough to express
our contempt for the class of pot
hunters who will take advantage of
Law abiding sportsmen in the manner
above. That the earth should be
Uttered with such yermin and that
such wretches should propagate their

render them AZ hideons that ovarx,
