-Walfrid Larson, who is detained
at the court house awaiting removal
to the hospital at Yankton, furnished
a little excitement Wednesday. The
sheriff left some parties at the Jail to
do some pipe fitting and at some
time the door was left unlocked.
Larson quietly walked out and had
several minutes start when his alb
sence was noted. Krumvieda and
others started in pursuit and over

The South Dakota Central Rail
way Co, at a recent meeting of its
directors, passed a resolution to the
effect that it is necessary and desir-
able to build, equip and operate
some new lines of its system, says
the Pierre Dakotan. These new
lines are to extend in a northerly
direction from Cotton, Minnehaha
county, through Lake, Brookings,
Kingsbury, Hamlin, Codington, Day
and Marshall counties; in a westerly
direction through K%ingsbury, Beadle,
Hand, Hyde, and Hughes counties
to the Missouri river; also another
line to the west touching the river
in Sully county; and a second line
in a northerly direction through Cod
ington, Day and Sphinx.
The farmers of Beadle County
are much exercised over the action
OF the state board having in charge
cattle inspection and cattle dipping,
which action demands the dipping
of all cattle in that county whether
showing signs of disease or not
This order was made under the sup
position that the disease was prac-
tically epidemic in that county, that
all cattle were either infected or ex-
posed to disease. The farmers claim
this is not true, and that the
sary dipping of cattle causes much
damage to the owners. Cattle not
infected OF exposed should not be
dipped. The dipping auses loss Of
flesh and some claim that fully two
weeks growth is lost.
That South Dakota is one of the
best stock countries, both as to nat
ural conditions and as to the quality
of stock raised is beyond dispute.
At Huron Friday we we're talking
with our old friend A. Lampe when
he told us about buying a bunch of
"baby beef" from q farmer living
near that city. There were eleven
head, one less than a year old, and
others ranging up to fifteen months.
The 5aaeh was bought by weight and
figured up to $4,000. Now Lampe
is not in business for his health, and
he certainty receive d value for his
money. But where can you go out
side of South Dakota to find yearling
calves bringing S40a head for beafs
OF course, cattle 10 bring such a
price must be we'll bred and we'll
cared for to put ON a sufficient
amount Of meat, but it is not neces-
sary that they should be ull-bloods.
