he will have an excellent show OF
winning, for if there is better
grain in the country, we have
not seen it. However grain gen

be other samples which will carry
off the blue ribbon. The flax
stands very high: and is already
ripening. 1t will surely average
over 20 bushels to the acre. A

EXPLAINS CUT-THROAT
SECRETS AND GAMES

to the call. Before he leaves he
goes up to see the races, gets in
to the game but instead of win
ning a pile OF money DIS ne saw
others before him do, he loses
his last cent Of his $40 in a few
minutes. While he is left brood
ing over his misfortune and with
out means to reach home, his
mother may breath her last,
longing in vain to see her below
ed boy before she passes away.
At the same time the CRATER
who robbed the boy may be
found intoxicated in some gam
bling den spending his spoils by
the handful. There is really no
difference in these robbers and a
highway robber who robs his
victim at the point OF a six
shooter; while the one doesn't
force any one to play his game,
the other doesn't force his vic
tim to come his way either. He
simply gets into the way and
waits for him to come. But they
are both robbers OF the same
type; 50 If the one is left unmo-
Tested, why should not the other
be? The writer spent a week
last summer in Yankton S. D.
during the Rosebud registration
where at the time it seems all
the grafters from all over the
country were gathered, and has
seen people robbed by the whole
sale. The people Of Yankton,
Bonesteel and Chamberlain
where the registration took
place were not satisfied with the
money that these 1OS, 900 people
who came there to register spent
there, but had TO, for a. con
sideration from a lot OF g'rafters
permit these TO rob the people
by the wholesale. The readers
OF the INDEPENDENT will remem-
Der the bic riot these cut-throats
caused at Bonesteel in which a
score OF people were wounded
and several killed. 1t was a big
shame for the people OF Bone
steel and IanktoD, and a shame
for any city or town that will
permit anything Of the kind. We
like to f1atter ourselves that we
are at the present age highly
civilized, but as long as we per.
nit some OF our people who are
unfortunately too ignorant to
know better themselves, to be
robbed this way while we look on
unconcernedly, we have a long
ways to go to reach the top, in
climbing the ladder OF civiliza.

Wheat on Corn Land.

G. q. Smith experimental this
year sowing wheat on corn
ground, and finds that the grain
stands fully six inches higher on
this land than on the other. He
says a farmer is foolish to sum-
mer fallow land. His theory is
to put field in corn, cut the
corn for feed or turn the stock
into it, then in the spring disc
4 e land and SOW wheat. The
IN does not get very large, but
d ground is put in the best
Condition for wheat.

EDITOR WARD COUNTY INDIE
PENDENT There appeared an
article in the INDEPENDENT OF
June 14th, entitled: "Cut Throat
Gets Boys Last Cent" giving
an account of a lad being skin
ned of $40 in a skin game at the
race grounds, to which l would
like to say a word or two.
Now isn't it rather a shame to
permit anyone being robbed in
broad daylight the way this
BOY was, in a civilized country
like ours? Who is to blame for
it? Can we blame the boy? |
think not. Can we blame these
cut threats? / don't think we
could blame even them, because
they are OF such 81 class who
would not hesitate to sand-bag
and rob their own fathers if they
got a chance.
think the ones to blame are
the authorities. who issued the
permits to those robbers to erect
their skin game stands on the
streets or other public places,
and thus enable them to rob the
people as they pass. OF course
it is easy to say that a man that
goes into a skin game ought to
lose his money, but do they all
know it? And is it right to have
all these people gain this know.
ledge so dearly as this boy did?
And furthermore, what good are
these cut-thrOats to society:
Nothing, except to pau those
who are foolish enough, or
rather ignorant enough to get
i'm their clutches into misery. SO
why not wipe them off the earth?
For the benefit OF those uriniti-
ated. | will with a few words eX-
plain how these games are con
Quoted. The CRATER has his de-
vice fully under his control, and
he can stop the dial, orwhatever
it may be, just where he pleases.
Besides he has about hall a
dozen associates working with
him, who stand outside and 40
the betting. AS long as only
they play he will have them win
nearly all the time, paying out
from $3 to $50 for a SOC bet,
but the moment an outsider gets
in the game he is a loser. tie
might just as well stand on his
tip-toes and try to reach the
