WILL EXTEND THE ROAD
President Sherman Announces that
S. Central Will Extend.

President p. f. Sherman of the
South Dakota Central railroad made q
visit to Wentworth recently and the
Enterprise of that place has the follow
ing TO say regarding that visit
=. F. Sherman, president OF the
South Dakota Central railroad, was
in town yesterday and in conversation
with him we learned many things
about the intentions Of the promoters
of that line, many Of which are private
and not for publication under any cir
cumstances. This much is certain,
however. The road is going to be eX
tended either to Madison, Wentworth
or east about on the Moody county
line. The farmers east OF DyCe post
office are making desperate efforts to
get the road and if they do station
will be bull; on the Milwaukee road
about four miles east of Wentworth,
another about ten miles southeast and
a third about ten northeast. II the
road goes through Madison, we are
certain to have Il station about seven
miles southwest of us, another about
ten miles northwest OF us and if the
road goes through Wentworth we will
have all kinds of shipping competition
which goes to build up a good town
and business is bound to come here
from far and wide. This is the whole
thing in a nut shell.

Found "Not Guilty."

Mike Sannes who, it said, has been
employed in ferreting out "blind pigs"
and pigs that are not so blind but what
they can see, got himself into linn
bo. On Monday night he was taken
in charge by the United States Marshal
on the charge Of "bootlegging, or in
other words-dispensing booze with
out government license. He was lodg-
ed in jail Monday night and taken to
Sioux Falls Tuesday morning where
his examination took place. This
man Sannes has been thorn in the
flesh of some of "the boys" and they
were not sorry to see him gobbled up
and spirited away, but on being exam
ined by the commissioner he was dis
charged from custody and will no doubt
return to Brookings Immediately.

DOGS KILL SHEEP
Sherwin & Son Had Two Hundred
Sheep Killed and Smothered

Last week Wednesday night dogs
gained an entrance into Frank Sherwin
& Sons sheep yard, where a flock OF
several hundred was enclosed by a
high board fence, and attacked the
sheep killing twenty-eight head. In
their freight the sheep crowded in one
corner of the sheds and the next morn
ing, in all two hundred Of the flock
were either killed or smothered.
The dogs two in number, returned
the next morning and it was intended
to get them inside the high fence,
close the gates and then kill them but
the dogs saw the men who were watch
ing and made their escape.
This is a heavy loss to the firm who
have been feeding large numbers of
sheep this winter for the Chicago mar
ket, and it is very unfortunate occur
renee.

Some of the speeches of Lanicotto,
the hunchback, in Francesca Da
Rimini" will bear remembering.
Among others are the following:
"Here stands one in vestal whiteness
with lecher's lust "There sits a
Judge, holding laws scales in hands
that itch to take a bribe he dares not
touch" 'Here goes a priest with
heavenward eyes, whose soul is Satan's
council chamber" "There a doctor
with natures secrets wrinkled round a
brow, guilty with conscious ignorance:
and here a soldier rivals HectOr's
bloody deeds, ,-outdoes the devil in
audacity- craven longings fut-
tcring in heart that dares do aught
but fly"
The great play Of Francesca da
Rimini" will be presented Thursday
evening, March 2nd. Seats are now
on sale and should be procured at
once at the City News Stand.

ARTHUR CRUMP ARRESTED.
Taken Into Custody in Baltimore for
Local Police.

The local detective bureau was notified
last night by the Baltimore authorities that
they had arrested Arthur Crump, who is
wanted In this city for the larceny of some
jewelry. That he was even wanted here
was news to the local bureau, as no COM
plant had been made to it of the loss,
which is said to have taken place in this
city.
According to information received from
Baltimore however, Crump and a girl
named Cora Sykes, both of Baltimore, came
to this city together last week and stayed
for a short time. Yesterday the girl
met Crump on the street in Baltimore and
accused him of stealing from her while in
Washington a watch and two rings, valued
in all at SAG. She says that the things
