sIDETRAck UP TO FARMERS,
Rails at Sandcut to Be Laid if Land Is
Donated

w. II. Stanley, secretary of the South
Dakota board of railroad commissions
ers, has received from General Man
ger Williams of the Milwaukee Rail
road companr d letter which virtually
settles the question regarding a pro-
posed sidetrack at or near a point
known as Sandcut, situated between
the towns of Summit and Waubay. on
the Milwaukee road.
The general manager states that the
engineer sent out by the company re-
ports that If a sidetrack was CON
structed at the point indicated in the
order of the board it would be difficult
to keep it clear of snow in the winter,
owing to the topography Of the coun.
try in that immediate vicinity. Gen.
eral Manager Williams, however, pro.
poses that IL the farmers in the yicin.
ity will donate enough land to widen
the company's right of way to the ex.
tent Of 100 feet the sidetrack will be
constructed. The farmers in the vi.
entity of Sandcut are anxious to have
the additional track constructed. and
it is believed they without delay will
decd the amount of land required.

BOX CAR FIGHT ENDS in MURDER
Four Men Hold Up Ten on Freight
Train.

Four Men Hold Up Ten on Freight
Train.
One man was murdered and two
others wounded in a battle between
four armed outlaws and ten passen-
gers on Northwestern freight train
Immediately after the train left Hecla.
Sheriffs and Deputies have been
securing the country for the perpetra-
tors of the crime, with the result that
at present three men whose descrip-
lions are said to tally with those fur
nished by the victims of the holdup
have been arrested.
The bandits, all of whom were heav.
lily armed and masked, boarded the
+,."in in the afternoon, three getting
Aberdeen and the fourth at Red
field. They mingled with the other
ten men in the car until it became
dark, when one of the men sprang to
his feet and ordered the men to hold
up their hands. Five sprang from the
swiftly moving train, followed by re-.
volver shots. 1t is said two were hit
and slightly wounded.
OF the five remaining in the car,
one resisted the robbers, one of whom
fired his revolver point blank at him,
the shot taking effect in the back OF
the head. The robbers then jumped
from the car. 1t Is not known how
much money they got.
The men remaining in the car say
that when the train arrived at Ludden
they notified the conductor, who re.
fused to go near the car. The con.
ductor sent for constable and the
latter found the the man lying in q
pool Of blood. His eyes had dropped
from their sockets and he gasped, 81
am killed"
The man was taken on to Cakes,
where he died later.
A man arrested at Hecla answers
the description given by the five who
got off at that place. The others were
arrested at La Moure.

CONTRACT FOR NEW BUILDING.

dria, J. w. Wilson of Brookings, L. A.
Larson of Vermiliion and G. F. Ray
mond of Mitchell who comprise the
building committee of the South Da-
kota Improved Live Stock association,
held a meeting in Mitchell and opened
the bids for the construction of the
building Of the association. There
were seven bidders as follows: Cross

s4.324; G. F. Leary, $4,365; G. H. East,
$4.37o: A. ]. Kings, s4,525; l. H.
Wright, $4,615; J. M. OConner of
Alexandria, s4,375. All the firms but
the latter live in Mitchell.
The contract was awarded to Cross
Il Slater, who were the lowest bidders,
and the members of the committee feel
well satisfied that they were able to
get contract for less THIN the appro-
priation of $1,000. This will leave a
goodly sum to fix up the odds and ends
around the building.
Messrs. Cross & Slater expect to be.
6ih WI ~ oh TIC 81 uCluie right away,
and will have it completed by Dec. 1,
which the contract calls for.
When this building is completed it
will be the only one of it's kind in the
United States. Other Western states
have tried to secure an appropriation
for building like it, but they have
been turned down by the legislatures,
and it remained for South Dakota to
set the pace for the recognition of the
stock interests Other Western states
will cite South Dakota hereafter as a
progressive state, having the interests
OF the stockmen at heart sufficiently
to nrnMidea home for them.

ALL CATTLE MUST BE DIPPED.
Federal Authorities Override Decision
of the Lower Court,


of the Lower Court,
AS result of proceedings in the cir
cult court at Huron by cattlemen to
resist the enforcement of the order
of the state board requiring all cattle
to be dipped, whether infected with
"scabbies" or not, Inspector Ramsey,
representing the department at Wash
ington, is making personal investi-
cation Of conditions and will submit
his findings to the department of ami
NAL industry at Washington
Mr.. Ramsey says that the bureau
has carefully considered the question
of placing the entire state of South
Dakota under quarantine, thus requir-
ing all cattle to be dipped, but as the
state board had already promulgated
an order placing the infected district
under quarantine, he would stand by
the action of the board and allow no
cattle to be shipped out of the state
without being dipped.
There are eighteen counties in the
quarantined district of this state In
the proceedings in the circuit court be.
fore Judge Whiting the opinion of the
court was that only infected cattle
should be dipped, but this later pro-
ceeding on the part of the federal au-
thorities sets aside the findings of the
lower court.

GET TAXES BY ROUNDUP.

Have to Pay.

In Stanley county the authorities go
after the taxes in ways of their own
and generally succeed. Big cattle out

OF the state use part o. Stanley
county as grazing ground. A short
time ago Deputy Sheriff Moore of STAN
ley county rounded up number of
these cattle, drove them to Midland,
where they were advertised for sale
for taxes. The stock owners came to
Midland, accompanied by the sheriff
of Pennington county, and announced
their intention of taking possession Of
the cattle, but the bluff was called by
the Stanley county deputy, and he
soon started to Fort Pierre with about
$4,000 in taxes to turn into the county
treasury.
