PULLS THE PIGS.

SHERIFF OF RICHLAND COUNTY
PULLS THE BLIND PIGS AT LID
GERWOOD.
Wahpeton, Aug 4.-Tuesday Sheriff
Jones armed with search warrants and
injunctional orders, issued on the COM
plaint of one Ed Mcdonald, an agent
of the state enforcement league,
started out after the Hankinson and
Lidgerwood blind pigs or saloons which
have become notorious all over the
state. The sheriff was accompanied
by Deputies Dan Jones, Frank McKen-
zie, H. G. Rasmussen, and \. E. Sun
derhauf, attorney for the enforcement
league. They arrived at Hankinson
unexpectedly about o'clock and
started in with the place owned by En-
nest Kriesel, where they found a, guam
tity of alcohol, whisky and beer and
all the bar fixtures, pumps, etc., per-
tanning to the saloon business. Next
they went to Frank Glasner's place,
which had been sold the day before to
Paul kunert. Here they found a bar
rel and case of beer, several gallons OF
whisky and bar fixtures worth 5000 or
500, the latter belonging, so it is
claimed, to the Hamm Brewing Co.
Then J. P. Glassners place was taken
in and a small amount of beer and
whisky found. They then went to
Julius Jasmer's place and picked up a
freshly tapped keg of beer.
The injunctional orders were served
on the owners of the buildings, and the
places locked up. The sheriff and dep
uties then started for Lidgerwoo1
where they expected to make another
big haul, but the news Of their coming
had gone before and when they
searched the ten suspected places they
found that the booze, or evidence, had
been spirited away from every place
but the hotel of E. c. Gates, where a
small amount of whisky and case OF
beer was found in the sample room
This they locked up and left in charge
of an officer.

WAS DRY BEFORE.

jamestown, Aug. IN. w. English,
one of the old timers in the southwest
ern part of the county, reports finding
a government survey stake in the mid
die of lake bed, which had become
dry this year for the first time in at
least eighteen years. 1t was never
before known that the stake had been
there and the inference is that when
the surveyors were at work in that To-
cality the lake was as dry as now. The
pond has always been deep one for
a prairie lake and but little hay could
be cut around it owing to the water.
How long before the surveyors drove
the stake the lake had been dry Is Of
course not known. Some data might
be gained by an examination of the
government surveyors records.
Water for stock is getting scarce in
thu usual places in the hills where it
has always been abundant, and the
springs are getting low. One South
Dakota man with 1000 sheep in the
western part of the county is reported
having a hard time to get water
enough for the animals. Rains would
soon remedy this.

IMPERIAL EDICT
Minister WI is on Hand with Another
Imperial Edict from the Chinese

Says Sufficient Escort of Troops will

Wish to Leave.
Communication with Home Government
Permitted if the Messages are

Washington, Aug. S.-Minister WI
called at the state department this
morning with an edict dated Aug. >,
translated by Chang. The edict is in
response to Chang and Liu Kun Yis'
memorial, proposing to send the min
listers to Tien Tsin The edict says It
is found necessary to protect the min
listers during the disturbances. AS
Pekin is not yet restored to order, pre-
cautionary measures may not secure
absolute security. The ministers, be-
ing consulted, proposed a plan dealing
with troops to escort them to Tien
Tsin for temporary shelter. The
edict commands Jung Lu to provide
sufficient escort to protect the minis.
ters whenever they agree upon leav-
ing Pekin. If the foreign minister's

with their governments and if the tele.
graphic messages should be in plain
language, the tsung Ii yamen shall i'm

STATE EQUALIzERs.
State Board of Equalization Convenes
at the Capitol and Organizes this
Morning.
Preliminary Figures Show a Consider
able Increase in Values Over
Last Year.
Assessors Return More Property and
at Higher Value All Through
the State.
iFrom TUESDAYS Daily.l J


The state board of equalization con-
vened at the capitol this morning
with Governor Fancher, State Auditor
Carlblom, State Treasurer Driscoll and
Commissioner Thomas in attendance.
Attorney General Cowan is expected
to be present for the beginning of ac-
tive work by the board tomorrow
Governor Fancher is chairman of the
board and Auditor Carlblom secretary.
The customary oaths were admins
tered to the members of the board and
as abstracts from two counties, Ben
son and McHenry, were still missing,
the board adjourned until > o'clock
rhis afternoon.
Some preliminary figures from the
general abstracts of the counties show
that the assessed valuation of property
through the state is much higher than
last year. There have been large in
creases in the assessment of both real
and personal property by the asses
sors. Last year the total value of per-
sonal property as returned by the as
SCISSORS was $22.4S9,417. This year,
estimating the returns of the two coun-
ties missing, the total is about $24 ,5OO,-
600, an increase of over $4,000, 900.
The real property returned last year
was H',G}5,t;2S This year it is re-
turned at $71,2O0,OOO, approximately
an increase of over S5.5OO,OOO. The
total assessed valuation of property as
returned this year will be between
seven and eight millions greater than
the returns last year. Then the board
found it necessary to increase the total
assessed valuation from about $685.
100000 to $97 100000. This year the
property is returned at nearly the fig
ures to which the state board increased
it Last year, so that it is probable nc
such radical increase will be neces-
sary.
The work of the board today will be
principally comparison of property
values and the discussion of estimates
of the amount required for state pur-
poses during the ensuing biennial
period. With this established, the
board may proceed to fix values and
make the levy with definite end in
view.

To this section of the county the
damage was not in the storm itself al
though considerable grain was lodged.
The after effect of the storm-oppres-

Grain in shock will necessarily be
