Constantine Haak was brought be
fore Judge Elliott this week on COM
plant of Niels Hansen, who charged
Haak with shooting at him. Haak
was held to await the action of the
grand jury. During the testimony it
was brought out that parties were in
the habit of meeting at the houses of
Haak, and Others, to play cards and
gamble, the money being put into box
and afterwards used to buy alcohol,
which they would send to Chicago or
Yankton and purchase by the gallon.
There may not be any "blind pig" in
that neighborhood, southwest of Swan
Lake, but there surely is something
wrong going on there.
The year 1sS9is to be an eventful one
for South Dakota, and especially is this
true of Turner county. The recently
discovered coal deposits in the southern
portion thereof will tend to draw i'm
migration this way, and will increase
the demand for farming lands. Add to
this the certainty OF the building of q
line of railroad through the county
from Sioux Falls to Yankton, and there
certainly is cause for our citizens tc
feel elated over the prospects of a busy
and prosperous season. Farming lands
will doubtless increase in value twenty
to fifty per cent, and even more in some
locations, and town property will ad
vance proportionately. With the
settling of farmers upon the unculti
waited lands in the county the volume
of trade to flow into the towns will bt
more than doubled and new busines.
enterprises will be required to meet th'
wants of the people. Thus q new i'm
petus will be given to all lines o
, business, and the year that South Da
kota was admitted into the Union us
; state will be to the people of this count
one of the most memorable in theil
history.
