with him rather large game in the per-
son OF am Ortley, who, together with
a burglar by the name of Conley, es-
capped from the county Jail last fail just

ficers have been on SANS tracks and
have had him located at various places
in other states, but were waiting for
him 10 get back into South Dakota,
where he could be taken without reQui-
sition proceedings.
He finally got back and was rendez-
Nousing in the timber gulches near
MARROW, in Marshall county. Here 1t
was that Deputy Hicks, by the en-
ployment OF a little Sherlock Holiness
strategy, succeeded in capturing the
fugitive and marched him back to Jail.

their escape from the county Jail was
by stealing the keys from the safe,
which the sheriff or deputy carelessly
left unlocked He says he and Conley
went together as far as G%raceville,
Mimi. where they voted on election
day, and then separated, Conley going
one way and he another.
Not long ago Sheriff Minder received
the information that Conley had been
held for burglary in an Iowa county
and sentenced to twenty years IN the

PROSPECTS FOR A CROP.
Around Sioux Falls Farmers Expect a
Record Breaker,

Sioux Falls, s.. D.. July Sit is the
opinion of those who have carefully in
spected the fields in This part of the
state that With favorable weather this
locality will this season raise one of
the best crops in its history. Now that
several warm and clear days have been
experienced, the farmers of this Nicin-
ity are feeling quite encouraged over
the outlook for a good crop this year.
Crops on some of the lowlards have
been damaged to some extent by being
flooded by the excessive rains of the
past few weeks. but in general the con-
dition of small grain and corn is good.
Corr is making rapid growth and with
late frosts in the fall will make good
crop. M reports ave been received
from this immediate vicinity as TO the
appearance of red rust, and fears of
black rust, which last year so seriously
injured the wheat crop of South Da-
kota putting in an appearance no
longer are entertained. Grain in gen
eral in This part of the state has a
good healthy color and has attained q
great growth.
