BRANCH HUMANE SOCIETY
Movement on Foot to Establish {
Branch of the Society in
This City.

a petition is in circulation in the
city which has for its object the es-
t%ablishlng Of a branch of the Humane
Society of South Dakota.
Application was made to President
Sheppard, of Sioux Falls, for a COM
mission which would permit the Or
%ganization of a branch society. This
commission was asked for by Mayor
Silsby, Alderman Hannett and City
Attorney Preston, to whom it was
granted.
The object of the society is to en-
force all laws on the statute books
which prevents the infection of cru
city to children and animals, with
particular reference to Mitchell and
Dawson county. The society when
organized will have power to cause
the arrest Of any person who abuses
man or beast. TO sustain the organ
iZation annual dues of one dollar are
paid by the members. 1t is a very
worthy movement and should be
Joined by every person who has the
least sympathy for the protection OF
those whom the laws of the state are
made to help.

presence in Sioux City was most
heartily appreciated and that they
can go there again with the same
program of pleasure reproduced.
President Allen responded. Remarks
were made by Geo. d. Perkins, of
the Journal, Fl. S. Volkmar, of Mil
bank, Clate Tinan, Of Kimball, and
several others. While the editors
were being banqueted the wives were
taken to hear the Kilties' High
lander band at the Peavey, and a
supper was rendered at the close.
The editors did not 90 to Vermil-
lion as was anticipated. The frater-
nifty did not not feel that it would
be treating Sioux City just right to
divide the time with the city up the
river. Editor Danforth then ex-
tended an invitation for the ssocla-
tion to hold the next winter meeting
at That place, and the feeling was
quite favorable that the executive
committee adopt the suggestion.
Ii there ever was the slightest,
touch OF weakness on the part of the
newspaper fraternity of South Dako-
Ia IN its admiration for Sioux City it
was im~measurably strengthened by
the visit to the enterprising. whole

was nothing too good for the boys

The Baraboo, Wis, Republic of
Jan. IA, contains the following obit-
ua1y notice of Mrs. H. Fl. Calhoun,
who resided in this city for a great
many years, and was we'll and favor
ably known:

AMPUTATED HIS LEG
Surgical Operation Was Performed
on NJ. G. Porter Late Satur-
day Afternoon.

Late Saturday afternoon Drs.
Crane, Ball and Bobb and Prof. J.
S. Wingfeld performed the operation
for the removal of M. G. Porter's
leg. 1t was removed about five inches
below the knee During the opera
tion it was a very difficult matter to
keep the patient alive, and two or
three times it was necessary to resort
to powerful stimulants and other
methods to keep him from passing
away. However, life was kept in
bis body until he came out from
under the influence OF the anesthet-
les, and at the present time he is re-
ported to be in a fair way to re-
covery. There is still much danger
from blood poison and if this can be
avoided it is thought that be will
recover.
Several weeks ago MI. Porter fell
on the icy walk in front Of his resi-
dence and broke his left leg. It did
not heal very much and the %circula-
tion Of the blood was stopped by the
swelling of the veins in that part OF
his body, and this made it necessary
to amputate the member. It is in
deed too bad that he is to be de-
prived of the use Of his limb the rest
of bis life and his many friends will
extend their sincere sympathy over
the unfortunate occurrence.

GOVERNOR HITS EN- HARD
Governor Herreid in his Message
Discusses the Raise in Insur-
ance Rates

Sioux Falls Argus Leader: Gov
error Herreid, in his message, struck
the hardest blow which the fire in
surance combine has received. He
named the most important companies
doing business in the state and
showed that before the recent raise
in rates the stock of those companies
was selling in the market for from
S17l to S671 pre- share, with a par
value of 500. This means that
their dividends were from nine to
thirty per cent. Certainly they
were therefore among the most
prosperous corporations in the coun-
try. There, therefore, can be no
excuse whatever for raising the
rates. The raise was dictated solely
by u%nbridled avarice, as the COVER
nor we'll points out It was a case
of sheer eXtortion. South Dakota
is quite willing to have these CONF
panies make a fair profit for insur-
ing the property in this state, but it
sees no reason why they should
make fifty to seventy-ive per cent
profits. According to the companies
own statements during the past
thirteen years-that is. since staUe-
hood-they have paid in losses only
forty-nine per cent of the premiums
receiRsd. Allowing them thirty per
cent forthe expense of doing bust
neess they would have as clear profit
twenty per cent Of the premiums re-
ceived. Therefor, with an expendit-
ure Of fifty dollars for paying losses
and thirty dollars for expense they
have made twenty dollars, or twenty
five per cent of their investment.
Under the recent raise of twenty
five per cent on an expenditure Of
eighty dollars they.will receive a clear
profit Of forty-fiye dollars, Or tifty-six
per cent. The mere statement Of
these profits will convince anyone of
the absolute need for remedial legis-
Ration. South Dakota has been bes
hind her sister states in her insur~
ance laws. She should be so no
longer. 1t is to be confidently ex-
pected that the legislature will
follow older states in bringing these
apacious companies to terms.

Michigan Man Finally WEEDS Kansas Girl
in Spite Of the Waters.
It is not often that Cupid leads
a lover on long journey and then pre-
cipitstes food to prevent the nuptial
tie, forcing the groom elect to return
home and breaking the arrangement for
a double wedding, while fond hearts
languish, distant and apart.
But this is what happened to Fred
Winkler, Michigan man, while en- route
to wed Miss Anna Franklin, of this
county, last May. Although the be-
trothed had to wait the passing of the
food he took his bride back home with
him this week. Now the twain are one
and neither the waters above or under
the earth shall be able to separate
them.
1t had been arranged between Mr..
Garfield Franklin and Miss Artie Nal
strom, and Mr.. Fred Wrinkle r and Miss
Anna franklin, TO have a double we'd
ding on May 81. They all live in the
northwest part of this county except
Mr.. Winkler, whose home ism Michigan.
Mr.. WinkleF boarded a train in ample
time to reach Kansas on the appointed
day should nothing preventing happen:
But the rains descended and the foods
came, and by the time he reached Kan
sas City railroad travel west was cam
pletelF suspended.
The 31st Of May came and no Mr..
Winkler-not even a word. Had the
waters swallowed him up? Nobody
knew. Meanwhile the marriage Of Mr..
Franklin and Miss Mslstrom had been
celebrated and the marriage feast eaten
But the bride-elect who had looked for
ward for many moons to the day when
her JOY would be made full, passed the
long weary hours in disappointment,
yainly thinking where Mr.. WinkleF
could be.
a week passed and iinallY the news
came. Mr. Winkler vas safe in his
Michigan home. Sc much railroad
track had been washed out at Kansas
City, which would intercept westward
travel for a fortnight, he decided to re-
turn to Michigan.
This episode brought about a new ar
rangement of things and Mr.. Winkler
arrived in GOOdland last Saturday. The
marriage ceremony was performed Sun
day and the young couple left Tuesday
for their eastern home, with the best
wishes Of many people.

INMATES OF JAIL HAVE BATTLE.
-Four Against One, But the Irish Drawn OF
John Doekertv Putt then ont.


John DOckerty Puts Them Out
Virgil Dale. Bert Rider, William vii
son and John Murphy, hobOes, while
awaiting trial upon the charge Of petit
larceny, ehOked John DOckerty, who is
serving thirty days sentence, until his
tongue hung out, at the county Jail at
seven o'clock Friday morning. But be
fore the game was out the Irishman
swung his fists above his covering vic
tins, and the same little member that
had hung out Of his mouth at the start,
hurled at them all the malediction
known to the vocabulary of the Irish,
while his disheveled locks Of red hair
looked like flames Of consuming FIRE.
The four hobOes, angered because
their trial was postponed the second
time by the failure Of the appearance Of
a necessary witness, began using vile
epithets upon the persons In authority.
This was declared to be irreverent BY
Dockerty, who holds the dignity even Of
justice court beyond reproach. They
then worked up the ire Of the Irishman
with derisive remarks, and he punched
the fellow nearest him on the head.
Dale grabbed hold Of DOckerty's four
inland tie and began pulling the moose
tighter and tighter. Wilson threw his
arm around the Irishman's neck, twist
ing it with all his might, and the other
two closed in for the purpose Of landing
on DOckerty's face. They soon had his
tongue hanging out and he was Wheel
ing for breath.
But DOckerty was armed with heavy
pair Of shoes and a strong set Of teeth
weapons which his assailants doubtless
underestImated. The moment the first
man made a pass at him, he sent his big
shoe 50 vigorously into the lower portion
Of his bowels or whereabouts that the
fellow doubled up like q jack knife and
went to the floor holding himself.
The third man, who was not in the
grapple, brought blood to DOckerty's
face. He was hard pressed for some
means to ward of the blows. Mean
while he kicked the shins of the two
who were holding him, and iabbed them
In the ribs with his fists as best he could
In struggling to extricste himself, Dock
erty managed to sieze the stove poker
from the floor aud whenever the young
thug advanced to strike him, he would
iab the implement into his abdomen.
He used the poker so effectively that the
fellow soon became too tender to take
any more Of It.
BY this tue Bookerty had got his
tongue back into his mouth and was
ready with his teeth. He bit q chunk
out Of the forearm Of the fellow who had
been trying to twist his neck, and the
victim broke away with al aganizing
cry. The last man then let loose as
quickly as he could and the four hobos
took to the cage, calling upon the col,
ored inmate, who all the while had been
trying to squeeze himself into a knot
hole in the rsmetest part Of the Jail, To
take him OF.
Although one Of the men carries his
arm in a sling and two others walk in a
stopped manner, the hobo quartette de-
clare DOckerty is the best fellow they
have ever met.

SIXTY DAYS FOR PETITLARcENY
HobOe' Who stole Grip From Train Pay

HObOes Who Stole Grip Prom Train Pay
Dearly for Their Theft.
Sixty days IN the county Jail was the
sentence which Virgil Dale, Bert Rider,
William Wilson and John Murphy re-
eeived for stealing a grip Of No. 9
Wednesday, July Is, belonging to Miss
Fannie Gilbert, Of Kansas City, No. The
trial was held In Justice Coleman's
court at the court house Monday morn
ing.
Virgil Dale was the first one tried
upon the charge. Miss Gilbert was
present and identified the grip and the
contents, which had been recovered, and
placed an estimate upon the various
articles. L. F. Cooper, car inspector,
identified Dale as the person who was
standing by the Pullman coach that
morning and the same man he saw pass
ing from under the train with a grip in
his hand. Dale was also identified by
several Witnesses as the same person
who was lettering about with three
associates shortly after the theft
After the information concerning the
theft had been received by Trainmaster
Aurand, he. in company with Station
Agent Harding and Night Agent Ham
iltOn, made a tour Of the yards. They
Cane upon the four fellows which were
sfterward arrested, and followed them
up to the freight depot and demanded
that the hOhOes come out from under
the elevated platform. They complied
reluctantly and were detained until
Sheriff Bradley arrived to make the ar
rest. While the young tramps were
awaiting the arrival Of the sheriff they
relieved themselves Of a number Of the
stolen articles by slipping them behind
/ the steam radiator, near which they
we're sitting, IN the waiting room. One
Of the missing slippers was also found
at the spot where the thieves sat under
tAA depot platform. The evidence
seemed so convicting, Dale having been
I positively identified as the person who
was making away with the grip, and the
elroumstantial evidence being strong
Justice Coleman sentenced the prisoner
to so days in the county Jail.

charge were then brought for trial. The
