AFTER THE CHICKEN SHOW
Sioux Falls is Still After the Show
That IS Held in Mitchell
Annually.

From a Sioux Falls paper we learn
that d new chicken show has been
organized and it goes on to state
that the Mitchell association has
agreed to become member of it
along with one or two other associ-
ations. Sioux Falls is making fran
tic effort to get the state show over
there but she will have to wait until
some time in the future.
That the State Association has
not joined the Sioux Falls show is
only too evident as the dates for next
year have been selected and also the
gentleman who is to judge the poul-
try. The dates are Jan. 13 to II and
the name of the judge is G.. A. Emry
of Carthage, Mo. This is the first
time that southern judge has beer
secured to score the birds. He has
a fine reputation in the south fol
this work and the association
thought they would try a southern

Milwaukee Can Run Some.

Chicago special: One of the Mil
waukees new mammoth engines has
broken the record between Milwau-
kee and Chicago. On New Years
eve the new compound Atlantic type
engine, No. 92l, made the eighty-tive
and two tenths miles from Chicago
to Milwaukee in eighty-seyen min
utes, or one hour and twenty-seven
minutes. The previous record is said
to have been one hour and thirty two
minutes, and the fastest schedule of
the Milwaukee calls for the run in
one hour and forty-fve minutes.
During three and four-tenths miles
of the distance between Caledonia and
Lakewood the train maintained a
speed Of a trifle over 102 miles per
hour. The distance between these
two stations, three and four -tenths
miles, was made in excatly two min
utes.
Considering the fact that no prepar-
alton was made for the run, and con-
sidering the conditions, the run is re-
markable. The train left Chicago at
1915 p. M, twenty minutes late, the
engine hauling six sixty-foot mail and
express cars and arrived at Milwau-
kee at II :42, just two minutes late.
The two terminals require slow time
and there were slow downs for five
railway crossings, one full stop at
Western avenue, but no stops for wa
ter.
Edgebrook to Stowell, seventy-twc
miles, was covered in siXty-fve min
utes, Or at the rate Of siXty-six anc
one-half miles per hour The dis
tance from Wadsworth to Western
| Union Junction, nineteen miles. wa:
made in sixteen minutes, or at The
rate Of seventy-one and one quarte-
miles per hour. Engine No. 921 has
a loaded weight of 100000 pounds
drivers S41l inches in diameter:
tender capacity of $4,000 pounds o
coal and 7,00G gallons of water.

Judge Smith asking for a change of
venue in the cattle Steaing cases on
the ground that justice cannot be
secured in Lyman county. The cattle
rustlers were confident that the cases
could not be taken away from that
county and they were surprised and
chagrined beyond measure when
Judge Smith granted the request of
the states attorney. Four cases were
changed to this side Of the river be-
ing those of Carl and Olaf Nelson both
of whom have become rich in their
cattle rustling and Ole Finstad and
John Dillon. The latter two will be
tried in Dawson county and the
Nelson's will have their trial in San
born county. The cattlemen feel
that with the cases tried in these
two counties and with the bare facts
brought out against the prisoners
that there will be no trouble III Sc
curing a conviction of these noted
rustlers.
The prisoners will be brought here
and be kept in the custody of Sheriff
Swindler until court sets the third
Tuesday in May and the Nelson's will
be confined in the Sanborn county
Jail until the first Tuesday in May
when court convenes there.
