Judge Elliott, a Pioneer, Passes Away
at Parker.

at Parker.
Parker. S. D., Oct. 9.-Judge William
Elliott. one of the pioneers of Dakota
territory, died at his home here. The
immediate cause Of death was heart
failure, although Mr.. Elliott had been
ailing for the past three weeks. His
son, United States District Attorney
j.. D. Elliott. his wife and two daugh-
tiers, were at his bedside when he
passed away.
Mr.. Elliott has been closely identified
with the history of the Dakotas ever
since the territorial days. Thirty-three
years ago he located on a claim which
Is the present site of Meckling, Clay
county, where he lived until the flood
of 1881, which destroyed all his prop
erty. In 1883 he located at Hurley and
resumed the practice Of law. He was
a membe of the constitutional conven-
ton at Sioux Falls in 1885, and one Of
the seven members for South Dakota
on the high joint commission to divide
the assets and liabilities When the terri
tory was separated into two states.
He was born in England. November
81. 1888. Coming to this country When
a boy, he first settled in Illinois. Thence
he moved to Mt. Ayr, Ia, where he
lived for several years, during which
time he held important county offices.
He enlisted in a Missouri federal regi-
ment at the outbreak of the civil war
and became a captain and provost
marshal.
For the past twelve years he had been
county judge Of Turner county. His
administration was so satisfactory that
often the opposing party would not put
up any opposition, and left hin a clear
field.
He is survived by q wife and five chill
dren, as follows: J. D. Elliott. Mrs. l..

SOUTH DAKOTA
TOWNS WALLED IN
Protection, However,, Is Ia
PIowed Firebreak About
Villages.
GENERAL MOVEMENT
The Rank Growth Of Weeds and Grass
Made This Precaution Necessary
as Protection from Prairie
Fires.

Pukwana, S. D., Oct. 13.-The very
rank growth of grass n weeds
throughout the country adjoining this
place has caused much apprehension
lest a prairie fire should get started and
threaten the town. The business lei
ave combined and raised u fund to
AVE q tire-break plowed around the
place to protect outlying districts from
such danger.
1t was only a few years ago that Mt.
Vernon was wiped off the a by a
prairie fire when 1t seemed at its in
cipiency to be a very insignificant
blaze.
Other South Dakota towns in the
western central part Of the state have
taken the precaution to have a pro-
tecting wall made around them.
Already this fall many farm houses
and other buildings throughout the
west central part of the state have
been destroyed by fire n many tons
of hay and acres of pasturage burned
to a crisp.

another South Dakota city, has a hard

The Enormous Crops Of This Year and

Trouble.

Aberdeen. S. d., Oct. 12.-It is be-
lieved that the greatest car famine in
the history Of the state is threatened
on the lines of railroad into the west
central part of this state.
The shipping of the enormous crop to
eastern markets and the sudden rush
TO market of thousands Of range cat
tie has completely showed under the
transportation companies.
Charles Hillicker, acting Milwaukee
freight agent at this place, says his
company has had difficult work trying
to cope with the situation.
There are sufficient cattle cars to
handle the big cattle shipments satis-
factorily. but elevator men are COM
planning of a difficulty in keeping their
houses in shape to handle the thrush Of
grain, owing to lack of cars to ship 1t
out. Mr.. Eillicker stated that 200 cars
daily were needed to adequately care
for the grain shipments and only about
half that number were available.

sound, according to a bulletin sent out
by the food and dairy department.
This argument is the only n given
by the adulterators, says Professor j.
II. Shepard, who writes the bulletin,
but If the doses are small it is the NUNS
Der Which makes them dangerous. He
has prepared a menu Of the ordinary
things upon the tables for a man with
a fair appetite, and he finds that if
adulterated articles were used the ''un-
conscious and unwilling patient will
get forty doses of chemicals n colors
per day."
The bulletins of the departments
show from one-half to one-fourth Of
the food adulterated, which would give
"a person buying GOD in the stores
from ten to twenty doses a day.

is Mrs. Alice Crossman, who has just
disposed of the last of her stock, about
1855 head of horses. For a number of
years she has operated a ranch u in

Yankton. S. D., Oct. 13.-The young
man thrown into Jail here Monday
night and who tried to commit suicide
is still here and quite a puzzle to the
authorities to whom the unknown is as
complete a riddle as has been furnished
the police for some time. In his raw
ings are mingled graphic accounts of
doings in Boston, Mass, Kentucky and
especially Indianapolis, where the
young man frequently names Mayor
Bookwalter. Stories Of the demi monde
and grating by detectives to avoid ar
rests are mixed With Y. M. G. A. doings
and city reforms, and altogether the
stranger is hard to place and harder
to take care of, as he not i%nfrequently
stops in Il confidential and scholarly
talk of college days to strike the COR
rect attitude and dare men to try and
throw him.. When arrested he showed
he could almost do it too by oVerpow-

no serious effects are expected, but it

ARDoN TWO.
Refuses Clemency to Edward Wilson,
/. Serving Life Sentence for Murder.

Refuses Clemency to Edward Wilson,
Serving Life Sentence for Murder.
Pierre, S. D., Oct. 1.-THE state board
of pardons has recommended favorable ac-
tion on the application of Henry Billet,
sentenced from Roberts county on a
charge of murder, and on that Of John
Jungworth, Jr., sentenced from Hutchin-
son county. The application of Christian
Christianson, sentenced from Clark coun-
ty on a charge of wife murder, was re-
jected.
The application of Edward Wilson, SEN
fenced for life from Moody county on a
charge of murder for the purpose Of rob-
berry, was rejected. Wilson was repre-
scented by Judge Aiken Of Sioux Falls, who
made the plea that his client had thor
,oughly reformed and had made his time
in prison count for. future citizenship by
the study of dentistry. The application
was opposed by States Attorney Coleman
Of Moody county, who was backed in his
efforts by a long remonstrance against
clemency, which was further backed by
letters from residents of that county
giving their reasons why no clemency
should be exercised.
Wilson is under life sentence for the
murder of a companion for a few dollars,
the murder having been shown to be pre-
ueditated and brutal.
