Makes Successful Fight Against His
Return to Minnesota.

PCkuIu I v HlIttiSSSlos
Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 22.-Judge
Jones, of the state circuit court in this
city, Yesterday ordered the discharge,
as the result Of the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings, Of Sheldon Hardenbrook, who
is wanted in Cass county, Minnesota,
on the charge Of seduction.
This ends a case which has been
fought before Governor Herreid and
Judge Jones for some little time. Sher-
iff Hardy, Of Cass county, arrived here
about two weeks ago and caused Har-
denbrook's arrest. He finally secured
requisition papers from Governor Her
reid, which. however, proved to be de-
~fective. and lie was required to secure a
new set Of papers,. Then attorneys for
Hardenbrook secured a writ Of habeas
corpus, and a portion Of two days was
spent arguing the matter before Judge
Jones. Hardenbrook has now been
given his liberty by Judge Jones on the
ground that under the laws of Mime
sofa the statute Of limitations, which
provides that an indictment in such
cases must be brought within two years
from the date Of the commission of the
crime, had expired, and consequently
prosecution was barred. The papers in
the case stated that the alleged crime
was committed September 80, 1900. The
attorneys for the Minnesota officials
admitted in. court that no indictment
had been returned up to this time.

W. Smith, general agent for an insur-
ance company, received information
from Summit, S. D., last night that the
Bank Of Summit had been blown up by
robbers and the vault looted OF It's
contents.
The details were meager, as IN spite
OF all Mr.. Smiths efforts. he was un-
able TO communicate with the bank OIL
ficials.
The loss is estimated at from $4,000
to $50, 900, but it is claimed he bank
proprietors are insured galns ROD

From what can be learned it appears
that the robbers entered he building
early yesterday morning and used a
quantity Of explosives, which wrecked
the structure, and gained admittance
to the vault. The robbers escaped.
1t is said that none of the toWnsmen
knew of the attack on the bank until

BRIDGE ABOUT COMPLETED.
EIkhorn's New Trestle viii Be Ready
or Two Weeks,

Lead, s.. D., Oct. 27.-The Elkhorn
Railroad company expects to have it's
new steel trestle across Gold Run
gulch in Lead finished within two
weeks. The lower cords are being
placed. A large bridge crew is at
work, with q steam derrick, and the
pieces are being raised to their posi-
lions as rapidly as possible. There. is
a false wooden structure across the
gulch that has been in use since the
road built into Lead last August. This
will be removed in sections as the steel
trestle goes up. While the new trestle
is building passenger trains will stop
near the Star mill. where a temporary
station has been erected.
The contractors on the new brick
and stone depot building have the
walls nearly UP, and interior work will
begin before cold weather sets in. The
excavations are practically finished for
the foundation Of the new freight de-
pot to be located across Mill street
from the passenger station.

AuIe LiCtle ANIMAL round IN panama
identified. -
Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. "a strange
little animal which was found in a
shipment Of bananas at a local whole
sale grocery house has been identified
as a kangaroo rat. The animal is about
the size Of a small rat, and has a body
that in shape resembles that of a rat,
but there all similarity between the two
animals ceases The body is about six
inches long and Is covered with g
heavy fur. 1t has a tail something SINH
lar to thai of an ordinary rat, but is
fully twice the length Of the body, and
at the end is a crook, which indicates
that 1t is used in the same n as
the tail Of @ monkey, to assist in climb
ing Or swinging from limb to limb. The
feet are like a human hand, having dis
tinct fingers and thumbs, each of which
is provided with a sharp needle-like
nail, which Is also evidently used in
climbing. The head is long and shaped
like that of a fox, and 1t has thin ears
The animal, which is the first Of its
kind eve seen in this part of the coun-
try, has been presented to A. H. Sites,
q local druggist. It lies in a half coma
tose state most of the time, but will oc-
casionally arouse sufficiently to par
take of food and drink.

, Given One Year,

Belle Fourche, S. D., Oct, 2~4.---Joseph
Wicks, Il prominent Butte county.
ranchman has been sentenced to one
year in@the peritentiary for stealing a
horse, from John c. Shafer, another
stockman of the county.
Wicker stoutly denies hat he stole
the animal and maintains in the face
Of the jury's verdict hat he is the
rightful owner. of the horse. .
1t seems hat a fine. horse which
Shafer neglected to brand because he
did not want the animal to wear
blemish, got to running with Wicker's
bunch. Wicker cast longing eyes at the
animal, and as twas without a brand,
decided to stretch Ehe old range law
concerning unbranded stock a point.
and branded it as his own The horse
was well known and Shafer had no
trouble proving it as his property.
The cas- excited a great deal of COM
ment around here and the sessions Of
the circuit court were well attended.
Wicker is comparatively wealthy, own
ing land worth about $4,000.

HORSE THIEVES ENERGETIC.
PLY Their Vocation Successfully in the
Streets of Mitchell.

Mitchell, S. D., Oct. 24.-Horse thieves
are doing a very good business in this
city. During the past three months
three teams have been stolen from one
place adjoining Main street. Last night
a farmer drove into the city and
hitched his horse and buggy at the cor
ner Of Main and Second streets and
left it there about an hour. When he
returned the outfit was gone n there
was not the slightest trace of it. About
a month ago another farmer had the
same experience, and nd trace was ev-
er found Of the two horses and buggy.
During the summer the initial robbery
was committed at the same spot.
It seem sto be a pretty we'll settled
idea that there is a gang Of horse
thieves located in the vicinity and that
they have q rendezvous where the sto-
len property is secreted for the time be-
ing and then ran out Of the state and
sold. All efforts to get a clew Of the
robbers have failed.
