Whereas, Brule County by Its Coun-

expense in the way of the employment
of "a Deputy Veterinary Surgeon in

Now. Therefore the Board of Com
missioners both by Resolution and En-
treaty urges every citizen of Brule
County to use the strictest precaution
in experimenting and controlling his
own horses and in preventing their
herding and mixing with the horses OF
his neighbors. The veterinary sur
gcon informs US that only the strict
est control and the most prompt
of every animal that shows
any indication of disease can this
scourage be stamped out which if not
controlled must cause the luss of I'M
told wealth to Brule county and bring
great financial disaster to its citizens.

SWITCH ENGINE HURLS
STREET CAR FROM TRACK
Motorman and One Passenger
Slightly Hurt on HoodoO East
Michigan-Street Crossing.
CAR IS DEMOLISHED
Mrs. Lizzie Kersten, 1926 Sturm
Avenue, Thrown Length Of
the Wrecked Car.

Two people were injured, more or less
seriously, in a collision between East Mich
igan-street car No. q and an L l.. q w.
switch engine at the crossing of the L. f.
& w. tracks and Michigan street last
night at 7:3O o'clock The car was nearly
demolished. The street car carried three
passengers. but Mrs. Lizzie Kersten, 122o
Sturm avenue, was the only one injured.
She suffered a number Of serious cuts about
her head and face and a badly sprained
hip. Motorman Peter Boucher, !. West
Henry street, cut about the face by
broken glass. and was more or less bruised.
The City Dispensary ambulance, attended
by Drs. Mac6ey and Jeffries, removed Mrs.
Kersten 10 her home after the Doctors had
dressed her wounds. but Boucher was able
10 go 10 his home on q car.
The conductor Of the car said he was I'M
able TO explain the accident. The street
car. he said. was stopped at the crossing
while he ran ahead and looked for ap-
preaching trains. but whether the motor
man failed To see his signals or not he was
unable TO say. The front end Of the car
was struck by the engine and completely
demolished. The force of the collision
threw the rear end of the car against the
drive wheels Of the engine, and the side OF
the car next to the engine was crushed in
by the driving rod, which was in motion.

YOU have clean stable and "A clean yard,

same quantity at night. Corn fodder should
be cut fine. Feed one basketful in the MORN

An old carpet thrown over the bee hives
when the thermometer falls far below the
usual temperature will serve to prevent the
loss Of some of the bees where the hives are
placed in the cellar.
A heavy covering of snow is a great pro-

danger of being winter killed. The snow
Keeps them OF even temperature and serves

Scrubbing and whtewashing the dirty
