Attempts To Rob and swIndle.

Two attempts were made within
a week to secure some of the cash
in the Newark National, Bank, by
persons who evidently "needed the
money" The first was an unsuc-
cessful attempt at robbery, the
burglars breaking one of the heavy
plate glass windows and gaining
entrance but securing no swag, and
the second was a swindling scheme
which also failed. A stranger pre-
sented a 1000 draft for collection,
asking the officials to advance 800
on account. The bank officers de
manded security, and the man de-
parted to hunt an endorser. The
bank upon which the draft was
drawn was telephoned and replied
the party was unknown to them.
A constable hunted up the stranger
and took him before the Magistrate,
who ordered him to leave town, as
there was no charge that could be
preferred against him, although his
purpose to detraud was known.
Another attempt was made to
rob the Bank Saturday night, the
burglars gaining entrance to the
building but being unable to open
the vault. The only thing stolen
was a revolver.

Barrens Burned.

The burning of the barrens,
north of town. on Sunday, endan-
gered buildings and other property
on number of farms adjacent to
the section burned over, and re-
quired the efforts of, force of
about fifty men and boys by means
of back firing to save property
which otherwise would have been
destroyed. The starting of the fire
was a piece of malicious mischief
on the part of some person, who
deliberately applied the match at a
point near Lees Bridge about ten
thirty O'Clock in the morning. The
strong northwest wind carried the
flames with amazing rapidity over
stretch of country about a mile
and a half in breadth and between
three and four, miles in length,
which is covered with a growth of
scrub oak, cedar and pine, the
fences and buildings of the farms
bordering the burned section being
threatened, large amount of fenc-
ing in fact being destroyed. The
owners of the farms whose buildings
were endangered are justly indig-
nant at the maliciousness of the
party who placed their property in
jeopardy and have offered a reward
of $25 for information which will
reveal the identity of the guilty
person.

jury which convened here today.
The case is a peculiar ne. A butter
firkin which was being shipped from
Nampeska. Il station near Watertown.
to Chicago aroused the suspicion of the
game warden. who suspected that 1T
contained something other than butter.
SO strong WAS this suspicion that the
game warden seized the firkin.
When ii was opened 1t was found to
contain Il umbe of prairie chickens,
which We're 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 aN
letter of instructions to ship as directs
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 that there
was no one in Codington county of the
name given on the letter of instruc-
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
