Rock Island Detectives Are Deter,
mined to Do This

The Rock Island detectives have been
IN the city several days and with the
aid of the local police are trying to break
up the petty pilfering and breaking into
freight cars that has been going on here
for several weeks. The company's losses
have been considerable in this city the
past month or 50 and the company has
determined 10 break it up. Expense is
no object and the detectives have found
that most of the thieving has been done
by boys from = to - years Of age. The
Eagle has contained several accounts of

When one stops to think that this

and has attained its present colossal pro-
portions by the means of weekly pay
ments of one dollar per share, it shows
careful and conservative management on
the part of its officers and directors.
We understand they never had loss.

LOSS WILL Be HEAVY.
Snow and Freezing Rain Have Left a
Damaging Crust on the Range
1857 West of the River.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Jan. 2.-John e.
Diamond of Mankato, Mimi, who was
in the city this week, said that from
the information he had received from
the ranges west of the Missouri he was
greatly afraid that there would be some
heavy losses among the cattle men. lie
further said that his information was
THAT there was from six to seventeen
inches of snow on the ground. The
Pierre section seems to have the most
ssnoW. This of itself would not be so
bad, but that rain and thaW which we
had a few weeks ago and which was
followed by a freeze and more snow has
made 1T practically impossible for the
cattle to get to the grass. The icy V
,ering was again covered with snow
a crust had formed on 1t which
even prevented the wind from blowing
the snow away. Mr.. Diamond referred
to an interview which he had with Col
onel John King. The latter had told
Mr.. Diamond hat there were many
points on the east side of the river
where it was impossible to turn cattle
Iout, but in practically all Of these
places there was a good stock of fod-
der on hand for the present so that 1t
there was a change to more favorable
weather in a month or six weeks every
thing would be all right in this section.

PETTY Will NOT DEED
A sAHITARIUM SITE
Committee to Purchase Lano
Unable to Effect an Agree
ment With Owner.
MAY SELECT A NEW SITE
Rational Soldiers Home Managers
Have Authority to Select What
ever Lands They Desire-An
Awkward Hitch.

Hot Springs, S. D., JAM. 5.-The com.
mlttee appointed to secure a site for the
national Sanitarium was surprised by
Mr.. Edmund Petty, sheriff of Fall Riv-
er county, when the committee in
formed Mr.. Petty hat the contract
with him for the purchase of his land
was ready to be executed.
The contract provided for the pay
ment of 81, 1000 to Mr.. Petty for a num-
Der Of lots and fractional parts Of lots,
all within the site. When the money
was rendered Mr.. Petty he refused to
sign the deed conveying the property
Tor the reason that the deed not only
conveyed lots and fractional parts of
lois, but also an unplatted strip Of
ground said to be about sixty feet wide
and about eight hundred feet long. Mr..
Petty claims that he agreed to sell and
convey only the lots and thai the I'M
plated portion the committee must
pay for in addition to the price fixed
on the lots. The committee asked Mr..
Petty what price he fixed on the I'M
plated portion; he said he would con-
slder the matter after the committee
had paid to him the $4,0 900 for the lots.
Inc committee declined to pay over the
money.
This is an unfortunate situation of
affairs, but the committee propose to
nave a survey made of the grounds by
the United States general survey in Or
ler TO nave clear of the character Of
this unplatted strip. The official alb
stractor Of titles of Fall River county
considers the lines as now recognized
as being Inaccurate. The committee
OH site had a former agreement with
Mr.. Petty to pay him Sc, 900 for all of his
holdings of real estate within the pro-
posed site, but the managers of the
National sanitarium thought they could
get along without all Of Mr.. Petty's
property and adopted a new line by
which about eight lots were left out;
hen this second agreement was made
20 pay Mr.. Petty 81, 600, the committee
acting on the belief that the agreement
covered everything hat was necessary
Tor the site. In the mean while Mr..
Petty never claimed that he was the
owner of the unplatted strip, nor did
ne make this claim until the $4,O 900 was
rendered him. The managers of the
sanitarium may make a. new
for the site, as no title has
passed to them for any of the property
and under the law of congress they
have absolute power to do whatever
.hey deem right and proper; or they
may ask for condemnation proceedings.
1t is hoped, however, that the citizens.
committee for the site and Mr.. Petty
may come to some mutual agreement to
this obstacle of delay in going
On with the work. The managers of the
sanitarium cannot get ready
to do anything in the way of construc-
ton before April or May.

BOLD ROBBERY FAILS,
Burglars Chloroform Woman and Ran.
sack House.

.Redfeld, S. D.. Jan. 5.-Thursday
evening F. O. Schalkle, agent for the
Van Dusen Elevator company, left his
home about 7:30 o'clock to attend a
lodge meeting in he city and left his
wife alone. Mrs. Schalkle heard some
one enter the kitchen and supposed it
was her sister, Mrs. Lidrooth, until a
voice called out to her to sit still. She
was seized and a cloth thrown over her
lead and some drug administered. The
TWO robbers than ransacked the house
from top to bottom, but they did not
take anything. Pr,
1t is supposed that they were in
search of money, which they thought
Mr.. Schalkle had in the house at the
m which belonged to the elevator
company. Mrs. Schalkle suffered quite
a shock from which she has not fully
recovered. No trace of the burglars
has been found. 1t is thought that it
wa some n who knew something Of
MI: schalkle's business, as he had been
collecting quite a sum Of money for the
elevator company on that day.

CHEAP INSURANCE.
Lincoln County Farmers Mutual in.
Company Evidently Fills
a lonu Felt Want. --

Canton, S. D., Jan. 1.-The board OF
directors of the Lincoln County Farm
ers Mutual Insurance held
their annual meeting here yesterday
and found the condition of the
exceedingly prosperous. The company
was organized and commenced business
IN April, 1890, n after nearly thirteen
years in business it has written 1911
policies, carrying an aggregate amount
of insurance of 81, 100, 900. It issues only
farm property and county schools and
churches, n it's field is limited to Lin
coin county. The most remarkable fea-
ture Of the company is that it's pre-
m1ums have never exceeded one-fifth of
l per cent annually on the entire
amount of insurance carried. During
the veal just closing the total amount
OF losses paid was only $3.50. During
1901 the losses amounted to $1,46O and
the year before that to $2,O32. The
highest amount ever paid out by the
company for fire losses in a single year
was in 1898, when the amount was
$1,000. The members of the company
are greatly elated over it's practical
workings, and its business continues to
grow every year.

Nes of the state will have to be serious
ly considered by the legislature. AS
one means of raising more money it is
proposed to fix the incorporation fee of
all foreign concerns in accordance with
the amount of the capitalization, as is
thf case in most or all of the other
states. At present a straight fee of
SO is charged for the incorporation of
concerns in South Dakota, and because
ofthis concerns which have their origin
mai parts of the Unite. States are in
coporated under the favorable laws
ofSouth Dakota.
I,any OF tn concerns are capitalized
at 81, 100000 and over, and to charge
tnm in accordance with the amount Of
tfrir capitalization would bring a good
re5enue to the state.
Repeal of Free Range Law.
An effort will be made to repeal the
Zee range law west of the Missouri river.
avid Eastman, state commissioner of
shool and public lands, shows that the
cate Is the owner of 1,0SS, $40 acres of
ommon school and endowment lands in
Inc Tree range section of the state, and
Ehat the leases on the same were: 1902,
B23,9sS acres, leaving yet 1862, 925 acres which
are being used without the state receiv-
ing any benefit whatever,
The leasing rates in the free range sec

cents per acre in 1897 to from 5 to II
cents per acre in 1902. Had these lands
been leased at the average leasing price
IN that section for the time since state
hood, the school and endowment funds
would have been increased in the sum of
S329 ,O%O.S4. The commissioner estimates on
this basis that the state has donated to
the stockmen just that sum of money.
Ihose residing west of the Missouri river
Will oppose the repeal of the law and an
interesting struggle is in prospect should
such an attempt be made.
The legislature will doubtless take some
acton on the recommendation of the
state board of charities and corrections
that the number of it's members be re-
duced from five to three, and that the
three members each be paid a salary of
S2,oW per year., for which they will be eX-
to devote their entire time in look
ing after the Institutions under the juris-
Of the board.
Among the numberless proposed laws
which Will be brought to the attention of
the legislature will be: The Torrens land
law for adoption in South Dakota; the
adoption OF what is termed q negotiable
bill; amending the oil inspec-
hon laW, SO that the quality of kerosene
sold in South Dakota will be greatly
improved; amendment of the law reuuir-
lng the secretary of state to select a
who shall publish all notices Of
astrays in the state. 1t is proposed to
amend this law so that estray notices
shall be printed in n newspaper pub-
ished in the county in which the estray
was taken up.

DEDICATE NEW CHURCH.
Christian Denomination Has Fine New
Building, Free From Debt.

Arlington, S. D., Jan. 1.-Sunday
was a gala day for the Christian de-
nomination of this city, the occasion
being the dedication of their elegant
new mouse Of worship. Thai people
belong to other churches might enjoy
the ceremonies their houses of worship
were closed, thus were all the exercises
largely attended. There wre three dis
tlnct services all being presided over
and addressed by DR.. A. M. Haggard,
dean of the college of the bible, Drake
university, Des Moines, la. Dedication
services proper We're held in the even
ing, the audience being one Of the larg-
est ever assembled here at a religious
gathering. During the morning and af-
ternoon meetings about 5000 was raised,
more than sufficient to pay all claims
against the church and leave a snu
sum in the treasury for future neces-
sites. The cost of the edifice was about
$4,000 Arlington, with a population of
less than 1000 souls nov has five church
buildings in which services are held
regularly, large congregations gather
ing at each service. This indicates
somewhat the moral sentiment of this
busy and enterprising city.
