Is Worse OFF Than Under His First
Sentence.
q. l.. Callahan for the second time
has Just been lodged in the Sioux Falls
p~enitentiary to serve a term of one
year for presenting for record a
forged instrument, and five years for
assault. He was sentenced at Clear
Lake, where his trials took place.
On tho occasion of his first introduce
tion to the interior of the Sioux Falls
~peaitentiary ihe served a portion of a
term for forgery, having been released
after being granted a new trial and
| after he had furnished the necessary
bonds. The state supreme court grant
Cd him a new trial on alleged new evil
aeace secured by his wife, who had
remained loyal to him.
No sooner had he been released
from the penitentiary than he was ar
rested on complaint of a young girl
named Matilda Peterson, who accused
him Of being the father of her babe.
Callahan put up a cash bono of $500
for his appearance in this case.
Shortly afterward he fled, and was
not captured for some time. He was
finally located and placed under ar
rest in Minneapolis on another war
rant sworn out by Clara Peterson, a
sister Of Matilda Peterson, who
charged him with criminal assault.
Callahan was unable to furnish bonds
In this case and remained in Jail since
the preliminary hearing on Oct. 10
last.
Recently Callahan had one of the
Peterson girls arrested on the charge
Of perjury alleged to have been com.
mitted by her while t~estifying against
him at his preliminary examination,
but this, after a prolonged and SEN
sational hearing, was dismissed.
Callahan was tried three times OF.
the charge of forgery. A jury which
tried the case at a term of court last
fall disagreed. The first trial at the
recent term resulted in a disagree
ment, when it was determined to re-
try the case before court took a final
adjournment. The trial resulted in a
conviction.
Before getting into the trouble
which has landed him into the peni-
Tertiary for the second time he was
a prominent resident of Gary, where
he was engaged in the real estate bus
mess.
Irrigation.
A. J. Glidden, the pioneer irrigatOr
of Beadle county, whose farm is near
Hitchcock, gives an interesting &C
count of his experiments. The well
from which the water comes flows
about $50 gallons a minute, and this
is turned into a reservoir covering
about twenty-five acres. The lay of
the land is such that crops are exempt
from early frost in the fall and late
frost in spring. Mr.. G%lidden's report
for the year 1902 is as follows:
Eighteen acres of cabbage yielded
IS tons; three acres of onions, 1000
bushels; two acres of tomatoes, $50
bushels ripe and 500 bushels green;
six acres potatoes, 500 bushels; two
acres popcorn, eighty bushels; one
half acre parsnips, 200 bushels; one
fourth acre beets, 200 bushels; one
Hall acre CaTTOlS, Z0O DuSlolS, TWO
acres squash planted with corn, 5
tons; n acre pumpkins planted with
corn, 4 tons; two acres cucumbers and
melons were seriously damaged by
frost; n acre small truck; one acre
Iowa Gold Mine corn, very poor stand.
300 bushels; twenty-five acres Texas
red oats, 1900 bushels; five acres
speltz, 200 bushels; twenty acres
corn, caught by frost, 500 bushels;
ten square rods strawberries, IA BUSH
els; 1000 plum trees, only a few bear.
ing, rs bushels; 1000 current bushes,
200 bearing, 10 bushels; 500 apple
trees, 60 cherry trees, $50 crab trees
and so sand cherries, all bore well;
also big yield from 100 ]gooseberry
bushes.
In 1896 Mr.. Glidden irrigated three
acres of oats which yielded seventy
two bushels an acre. The same year
one application of water to twenty
bushels of wheat gave twenty-seven
bushels an acre.
