STEAL N THREE STATS
ORGANIZED BAND OF ROBBERS IN
SOUTH WEsTERN PART OF
MINNESOTA
EFFORTS TO BREAK THEM UP
Have Thus Far Been of Little Avail
authorities ef Mknnehaha Coun-
ty, S. D., and Lyon County,
To-, Also Interested.

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Dec. 13-(Spe-
cial)-A tri-state robbers association
seems 10 be one of the latest organiza-
lions IN this portion OF the Northwest.
The authorities of this (Minnehaha)
county, Lyon county, To-, and Nobies
county, Mimi, have reason TO believe
that a regularly organized band of rob-
bers Is operating in the three counties,
and every effort is being made to break
up the band and apprehend the members.
One of the latest exploits OF the robbers
was the theft of seventy-nine head of
sheep from the farm of F. NJ. Loose, in
Mobiles county, Mimi. The animals are
believed to have been brought to South
Dakota and SOLD to some sheep raiser
here, but as yet they have not been To-
Gated and recovered. 1t is even belieV=.
ed that the sheep raiser in whose pos
session the animals now are is a member
of the band The robbers appear to
make the theft of articles and animals
from ia ms a speciality. In addition 10
the sheep mentioned, farmers in Mobiles
county alone have recently lost large
numbers Of hogs, cows and other prop
erty. It is believed to be the practice
of The thieves to steal animals and de-
liver them to coafederates in counties
other than those in which they were
stolen. Thus, when cattle, sheep or
hoSS oiSdppedf AAoLh Lynn
they are taken to this county or to NO
bles county, Mimi, and pass into the
hands of members of the gang. Property
stolen in Minnehaha county is taken
into Iowa or Minnesota, and property
taken in the latter state is delivered to
confederates in Iowa or South Dakota.
The stolen animals are usually those
which are not marked with the owner
brand, and it is therefore very dtff1cult
to trace them. 1t is certain that those
concerned in the frequent thefts are
shrewd criminals and it will doubtless De
some time before they are run TO earth.

END OF THE DAIRYMEN'S CONVEN.
TI0N AT FERGUS
FALLS
ONE CHANGE IN THE RULES
aIembers Must Have Belonged to the
Association g Year Before
Being Allowed to
Vote.

FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, Dec. 13-Spe-
ci2l)-On reassemblng of the dairy con-
Vention this morning, Gunder -Bzrtelson
of Fergus Falls, read an interesting pa
per on 1.-The Dairyman." His paper
treated on the development of the dairy
men in Minnesota, He showed how the
dairyman had progressed, while those
who had adhered to cereals alone were
still in sore straits
He was followed by Sam Haughdal, who
read a carefully prepared paper on
Proper Care of Milk" Considerable
discussion followed the reading of his
paper.
Hon. John L. Gibbs, of Freedom coun-
ty, then addressed the convention saving
that formerly in Southern Minnesota
farmers engaged entirely in growing
wheat, and for years raised good crops
and received good prices, but there came
a time when blight and chinch bugs made
the wheat crops too uncertain to depend
upon. The farmers were forced to change
their methods of farming and they went
into dairyjng, making that a prominent
feature Of their farming, and since MAX
ing the change the development in that
section Of the state has been marvellous.
This section of the state is just
as well adapted to diversified farming
as Southern Minnesota, and sooner or
later the farmers here will have to
adopt the same methods. He advised
tneln 10 make the change as soon as pos
sible.
Interesting papers were also read by
Hon. J. Mathison, ]. r. Morley and Au-
gust SamuelsOn.
In the afternoon unfinished business
was taken up. The committee on reso-
lutions reported, and a motion was made
to adopt the resolutions. Chappeu OBJ
jected on the change requiring a one
year membership before voting in the
convention. An explanation was made
stating that when the convention is held
in one section of the state, enough mem
bers could be enrolled to elect every
officer from that particular section and
continue TO hold the convention there
year after year. With the change that
would be done away with. A suggestion
was made TO place the qualification of a
farmer or dairyman to be a member of
the association. An amendment was of
fered requiring the qualification that a
man be farmer or q dairyman to be a
member of the association. A vote was
taken on the amendment, and it was
lost. The resolutions were adopted. J.
G. Durrell, A. w. Mobrary and Robert
Crickmore We're appointed a legislative
committee. The convention then adj
jOurned. reception and ball is in prog
ress at the Grand hotel this evening
