Hudson, S. D.. July Thomas
Thackeray, marshal of Hudson, and
deputy sheriff of Lincoln county, and
four Of his deputy policemen have
been arrested on a variety of charges,
ranging from assault and battery up to
attempted murder They We're taken
to Canton for hearing. The trouble is
the fact that Thackeray and some Of
the men who assist him arrested several
parties of more or less prominence
here on the day Of the old settlers
picnic last week for drunkenness and
disturbing the peace. The parties re-
sisted vigorously against the action Of
the officers, and We're pretty roughly
handled before they were landed in the
local jail. For this rough usage they
have now instituted legal prosecution
against the officers. There is consid-
cradle public feeling over the matter
In the town and surrounding country,
and 1t is thought that much litigation
is yet to follow.

Huron. S. D., June 28.-The crop bull

the agricultural department for the
week ending June "a is as follows:
The temperature during the week, all
though 1t was cool the early part, ave-

days and nights the latter part. and
there was nearly the normal amount Of
sunshine.
Abundant rains occurred over most
of the state, mostly in night thunder

amply moist generally, and the rains
have left some loWland fields in the

Wheat, oats, barley and spring and

applying a much larger acreage to flax
and millet than at the beginning of the
season was intended. There Is much
weakness. and cultivation, except on
high lands, Is slow and retarded by
the wet condition of the soil. On the
whole, the present prospect for corn is
not very good.
The condition Of the grass is much

hay crop is, on the whole, very salts
