FEAR FLOODS WHEN ICE BREAKS.
Missouri md james Rivers Are Likely
10 Cause Much Damage.


CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Feb. 2S.-tSpecial)
The Char. herlain Pontoon Bridge company
has removed its bridge from the Missouri
river in anticipation of the breaking up OF
tho ice at an early day. Uneasness exists
among the settlers who are located on the
bottom lands along the river and all who
can do so are preparing TO move their prop
erty or so much of IL as is possible, to
higher ground before the ice breaks up.
Settlers who, a week or two ago, were dis
posed to laugh at the fears OF their neigh
bors, have now come to realization OF the
danger. The fact that the water Is at
a very low stage, and frozen nearly to the
bottom in many places, renders the danger
all the greater in the event that the ice
breaks up on the upper end of the river be-
fore 1t does here as was the case. in the
spring of 1881, when floods caused so much
damage along the lower Missouri. The
snowfall has been so great this winter
throughout the entire region drained by the
Missouri river that if the ice breaks up on
the upper end before it does on lthe lower
sending vast volumes of water down upon
the nearly soidly-frozen lower portion oi
the river, destructive ice gorges will be
formed and vast damage and loss of life
will certainly result.
Grave fears are also entertained by the
settlers living on the bottom lands along
the James river. This stream, although
extending for more than 1000 miles in the
two Dakotas, cannot be dignihed by the
name of river, as it is hardly more than a
creek when in it's normal state, and is
credited with being the longest unnaygablt
stream in the world. 1t is very crooked
and drains a wide scope of country. The
rich bottom lands on it's banks
are thickly dotted over with the
homes, barns, sheds farms ant
other property of thrifty and progres
sive settlers, many of whom will tempor
arily seek higher ground until danger IL
over. Throughout the valley of the james
| river, which extends from point in Welll
| county, n. D., about sixty miles due nortl
of Steele, to where it empties into the Mis-
souri, river, a short distance below Yankton
are vast bodies of snow and ice which whel
meltel, will fill the James valley from bluf
to bluff Should the greater portion of tn
snow 60 off with heavy rains, as is fire
quently the case with the spring breakup
of the Missouri and James rivers, the DANCE
would be increased, and the most destructiv
floods since those of the spring OF 1881 woul
be experienced along the two streams.

NEWS OF THE RAIL.

Seldom is it the province of metro
politan journal to refer to the generosity
of railroad company through its edi-
torial columns, but on such occasions as
is referred to below the road is entitled to
eulogy, and the Times-Democrat does
not mince words, as will be seen in the
following compliment to the Queen and
Crescent:
1--WE mentioned yesterday the generos-
fty of the railroads in the matter of as
sisting the drouth sufferers in north
Louisiana by transporting the supplies
and provisions contributed for their bene-
fit free of charge. This has practically
doubled the amount of good the several
relief funds have been able to accomplish,
as it has saved all freight and transpor-
tation charges, and has allowed the goods
to be laid down in the drouth section at
their cost price.
sGoing from generalities to partcu-
lars, we think the Queen and Crescent
system deserves special consideration for
what it has done in the matter. It's
Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific branch,
extending from Vicksburg to Shreveport,
runs through the very heart of the drouth
section, and the chief points from which
it is desired to distribute supplies are
situated along the line of that road. 1t
has naturally suffered some loss by the
failure of crops in the parishes along this
line, but instead of looking at the matter
in a selfish light, it has done all in its
power to aid the people in the afflicted
parishes. 1t has offered it's assistance in
carrying and distributing supplies and
has made no conditions as to the number
of carloads it would transport, express
ing willingness to take free all the
freight consigned 10 its care, and even
hoping that it would have plenty to do.
For the reasons that we have already
given--that it traverses the drouth sec
tion-the Queen and Crescent road has
had more free freight to carry than any
of the other Louisiana lines; and it has
been prompt in their transportation.
at having been intimated that the
road was unable to promptly switch and
handle cars at Monroe intended for the
drouth sufferers, Mr.. c. G.. Harvey, at
this city, president of the New Orleans
and Northeastern and Vicksburg,
Shreveport and Pacific, at once tele-
graphed to the agent at Vicksburg to
know the cause of any delay at Monroe,
as the road wanted special efforts made
to handle this freight"
ut has been explained that there was
no delay on the part of the Queen and
Crescent road in switching or handling
cars for the drouth sufferers at Monroe,
but that whatever delay occurred there
was caused by other roads not placing
proper cars for it's use. A new system
governing the disposition of cars has
since been adopted by Mr.. Millsap, chair
man of the relief committee. which has

HAD A LIBRARY
Were the Property of Others, and
He Is Now In JAIL

There is negro in the county Jail who
answers to any of the names of Preach
err" Sam Peterson or Henry Mack He
evidently was not satisfied with whatever
knowledge of the law he possessed, and
established fer himself veritable law
library of some sixty volumes. 1t was
laudable ambition on the part of Sam to
attempt the study of law, but the fact
of his having so many fine books, some
of which are not to be seen in many prac-
ticing attorneys offices, aroused suspi-
fcion, and an investigation was made.
Chief Deputy -Warnock and Deputy
Ball went out to Sans library late
Thursday night and looked over the books
in stock. Twenty-Five volumes of United
States government reports, supposed to
be the property of Hon. J. L. Pugh, as
they bore his name, were found, along
with many other excellent reference
books, some dated as far back as 1912.
Other names in the different books were
those of Messrs. Ferguson, Little and
Bradley, all well-known legal lights.
Five of the volumes have been identi.f

fled and were seized by the sheriff No
doubt many more of them could be iden-
titled by their former owners.
Sam claims that he bought the books at
a secondhand store in this city and
stored them at Avenue f and Twenty
sixth street. where they were found. He
became very indignant when accused of
stealing them or of knowing that they
were stolen. He further asserted that he
had been prosecuting a diligent study
and intended to apply for admission to
the local bar Inquiry at local book
stores as to the sale of such books proved
fruitless.
Sam came from Mississippi, and APP
pears above the ordinary in intelligence.
He is now able to indulge in further
study behind the prison bars.
