GAME IN BUTTER TUB.
One Method of Shipping Prairie Chick
ems in South Dakota.


Sioux Falls, s. D., Oct. 20.-What is
known as the Codington county "butl
ter firkin" case has reached the United
States court in this city and will bs
investigated by a United States grand
jury which convened here today. .
The case is a peculiar one. A butter
frkin which was being shipped from
Kampeska, a station near WATERFOWL,
to Chicago aroused the suspicion of the
contained something other than butter.
So strong was this suspicion that the
game warden seized h firkin. .
When it was opened it was found to
contain a number of prairie chickens,
which were being shipped out of the
state in violation of the provisions of
the Lacey act, which is otherwise
known as the national game law. The
game warden made an effort to find the
name Of the shipper, but in vain. All
he could learn from the station agent
at Kampeska was that he found the
package on the depot platform, with a
letter of instructions to ship as direct
ed, and that the party whose name was
signed to the letter of instructions, Il.
Murdoch" would call at the station for
the receipt.
An investigation showed hat there
was no one in Codington county of the
name given OH the letter Oh llSlFuC-
tions. The county officials dropped the
case, but the government has now
stepped in and Sheriff Waddell, States
Attorney Hundredmark and several
others who are supposed to know some
thing regarding the matter, have been
summoned to appear before the federal
grand jury and tell what they know.
An attempt may be made TO compel
Mr.. Carl, the station agent, who also
acts as the agent at Kampeska for the
express company over whose lines the
flrkin was TO be shipped, to reveal the
name of the l~awbreaker. az 1t is sup
posed that Carl knows the true name of
he shipper.

WOMEN ON THE SOUTH
DAKOTA FARMS WORK
Helped Very Materially in Gath
ering in Of the Big
Crops.
THEY DID MANUAL LABOR
Women and Girls Drove Big Teams on
Binders and Headers and Were
Very Successful in All Their
Operations.

Scotland. S. D., oct. 23.-It Is not
generally known that women played a
very important part in the gathering
of the vast grain crops of the prosper
GUS South Dakota farmer, but 1t is
a fact that a large part of the manual
labor was performed by ONE and
girls.
The woman on South Dakota farms
is not unlike her sister on the farms
of other states, but circumstances
prompted her TO take up this kind of
occupation. When the farmer saw the
vast fields of wheat and oats and other
grains waving yellow and loaded with
rich yielding heads he was ~perplexad
to n sufficient help to garner the
grain. Men were scarcer n many
times could not be had at the best of
wages. The alternative was to call on

to see women. n girls driving six
horses hitched to a binder or header
In this part of the state a no unusual
sight. Those who could not be used
as drivers worked as ordinary men in
the fields or at other mental labor.
Among the Russians in this county
women did most of the work this year.
They all ven at their tasks with light
hearts and the farmer smiled when he
saw his fields reaped and the grain
gathered in stacks or threshed.
Women and girls when they worked
away from home were paid as high as
$3.50 per day with their board to work
in the fields this summer. Farmers
say that in many cases they were pre-
ferable to men as they could be trusted
farther.
Women in this state are also playing
a very important part in the handling
OF political affairs. There is no law
in the state that says a woman cannot
be a governor and already several are.

Miller. s.. D., Oct. 21.-Tears running
down his brown cheeks and n voice
choked with emotion, Grow Dog, a.
Grow Greek brave, hurried into j. w.
Coquillette's store here and asked for
a shoe box IN which to lay his pap
poose that had just died at the teepee
on the creek north of town.
The little Indian was taken back to
the agency (forty-five miles, and buried
deep in the ground with funeral rites.
The original custom of Indian care
OF the dead was to hang the body in a
tree, where ii was left indefinitely.
The Indians are fast running their
health by visiting the towns for trad
ing purposes
In this instance they arrived to be on
hand at the field day sports, and they
put up their teepees in a storm of snow
and rain, then to sleep in them ON the
wet ground with damp blankets and lit
tie or no fire.
That the women and men do not die
under such conditions, as we'll as the
babies, is a miracle.
They do contract consumption and
rheumatism, and If the habit is con-
tinued they will soon be the most sick
Ay people on earth. 1t civilizes them,
however.
There is said to be an Indian at
Pierre turning white, which probably
means that he has consumption in a
slow stage.

PRAIRIE HEN is PASSING.
A Few More Years of Slaughter ant
the Bird Will Be Extinct.

Armour, S. D., oct. 23.-The proud,
valiant prairie chicken once so m
GUS IN the broad of South
Dakota is passing and in a half dozen
years will be as extinct as the noble
bison. The greed of the pot unite
and game hog has been making sad
inroads on the most beautiful bird of
which this state can boast. The waving
prairies where once the prairie hen
could rear her brood and teach them
the ways of their fathers, and where
they could fly for miles and miles with
out the haunting wire fence or tele-
graph pole, are 20 cut up by the
farmer, n the bird Is left no re-
serves.
Only a few years ago this state was
well filled with chickens, as well as
they have all now been crowded to
the extreme borders of the state where,
in strange environments, they rear
with difficulty small flooks.
Each fall a few hundred of the sur
vivors wander back to the p~rairies they
love, only to be gobbled VI by the
greedy and voracious hunter who
knows no sympathy and gives no quar-
ter.
At railway stations all over South
Dakota since the season opened and the
birds are unprotected they are being
shipped to every place in, disguised
packages and it Is alleged with the full
knowledge of the express agent who
has a small commission. In Charles
Mix county not a solitary warden was
appointed this year and the hunter is
doing his share with no mercy and in
defiance of the state law. This is n
of the reasons why in only a few years
the pretty prairie hen win be a bird ex-
tinct in his state.
The birds have been slaughtered since
the first of September. Market shoot
ers are making a good thing from the
profits they SO numerically gain. A
few OF the unners have been caught
and held to the action of the law, but
the penalty is so light that they set no
example for the guidance of the vio-
lator.
1t Is a sight not at all reslished by
residents OF the state, and many farm
ers are ordering all ~trespassers from
their lands under penalty of personal
Injury. This is the only alternative.
