RUsTLERs AND GRAY WOLVES
Cattlemen TN Western South Dakota


Lose Heavily From Two Sources.
st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 5.-Cattlemen in
western South Dakota are just now hav-
ing their handa full trying to cope with
numerous rustlers and with the large
number of the no less despised gray
wolves. and 1t is difficult to say from
which source their losses are the great.
est. Cattle We're never In better condi-
ton at this season Of the year, and feed
is up to the average, but. as usual, with
the approach of winter, the rustlers as
We'll as the wolf becomes holder.
The losses of the larger cattle outfits
~chnrgeable directly to the rustlers are
alarming. Some of the larger outfits
have armed men riding their ranges
looking after stock and they nave cap
tured a number of rustlers in the very
act Of killing stock. The Stock Grow
ers' association employs special counsel
to prosecute cases against captured
rustlers.
Not since the winter of 1S90--91 has
there been such activity on the part Of
iustlers, nor such a determination on
he part of law abiding citizens to exter-
inmate them, and serious trouble Is
looked for between organized bands Of
lustlers and the cattle owners.
Fall River county, South Dakota, for.
merly paid a bounty of 81 for gray
wolf scalps but, as this was largely in
excess OF the bounty paid in Nebraska
and Wyoming. the practice of killing
wolves in those states and bringing;
them to Fall River county for h boun-
ty. became such a burden that the COM
missioners reduced the bounty to 81. In
consequences there arc few wolf hunter;
and the number of grays has largely in
creased during the last two years. One
outfit in the western portion OF the
county reports a hundred head of cattle
killed by wolves this fall. 1t is difficult
to poison the gray wolf by placing
s%trychnine on dead c%arcasses, as he
will not touch a dead carcass as long as
live cattle can be had

If mercy, the punishment will be fixed

The scene in the court room when the
'erdict was announced will never be
forgotten by those who were present.
Judge Murphy finished his charge at
1880 and the jury at once retired. Al
though there was supposed to be little
prospect of a verdict being returned be-
'ore z or s o'clock in the evening, the
!hrong of spectators who a remained
n the overcrowded court room all the
afternoon to hear the judges charge,
settled themselves back in their seats

Durrant and the prisoner talked and
aughed together as If an acquittal were
l foregone conclusion. They were sur
'ounded by half a dozen friends and the
conversation was animated when it be
came whispered about that the jury had
agreed upon a verdict. In an in
slant a hush fell on the little circle
that had gathered around the prisoner.
Durrant's face, always pale, assumed
A CHASTITY hue and his mother was
speechless. Then the door at the rear
of he room opened and the jury filed

AS the aged foreman, pale and rem
bling, read the words that fixed Dur
rants fate. a low. rumbling noise like
the roar OF a mob, arose from the rear
of the court room. The next moment
men were cheering wildly, while
women became Historically excited.
The bailiff raped loudly for order. but
the tumult continued for a minute be-
fore quiet could be brought u Of the
disorder.
District Attorney Barnes her arose
and asked that day be set on which
the sentence of death should be passed
upon the prisoner. Judge Murphy said
that the sentence would be passed next
Friday, upon which day he would also
set the day for the trial Of Durrant on
the charge of numbering Minnie Viii

st. Paul, Nov. 4.-The supreme court
of Minnesota assembled today, and will
decide the question that means life or
death of Harry Hayward, under sent
ence of death for the murder of Kate
Cling, a Minneapolis dressmaker. IN
usual interest attaches to the hearing,
from Hayward's late plot to escape from
confinement, and which was discovered
by the authorities just in the nick of
time. The bailiff in charge of Hayward's
cell claims that his motive in attempt
Ing to escape was not to gain permanent
freedom, but merely to get loose long
enough to wreak vengence Upon those
who testified against him during his
trial, among them his W brother. The
appeal for a new trial is based Upon
errors alleged to ave been made by the
trial judge. In case the appeal is re-
fused. 1t will devolve upon Governor
Clough to fix the date of the execution.
