NATURAL GAS.
Found Within Thirty Miles Of Sioux
Falls

Found Within Thirty Miles of Sioux
Falls.
Some twelve or fifteen years ago a
flow of natural gas was discovered on
q farm eight miles west of Marion
Junction. At that time, for some un-
known reason, the report of the dis
covery was silenced and was thought
by many to have been one of those
boom agitations.
During the past few weeks there
have been reports of the finding Of
natural gas in large quantities in the
Silver lake region of Turner and
Hutchinson counties, and while it has
been rumored that numerous stran-
gers have recently visited and investi-
gated that region, but few thought of
taking the matter seriously until last
week.
Secretary of State D. D. Wipf, resi-
dent Of Hutchinson county, and num-
Der of Pierre people came to Dolton
last Friday and after giving the matter
careful investigation concluded that
there is natural gas in that vicinity
and that its development Is possible.
In fact it is assured by specialists that
1t can be secured without any very
great expenditure of money.
A number Of capitalists, headed by
Mr.. Wipf, after making the prelimi-
nary arrangements with the land own
ers, organized company and have in
corporated unler the laws of South
Dakota, with the intention Of imme-
diately sinking and securing appar-
atus.
The company intends to have a sup.
ply Of the gas ready for commercial
use during the next thirty days and
soon as possible it win be piped to the
adjacent towns, where it may be Sc
cured very cheaply for lighting and
heating purposes.
[ Since a number of able men have
taken hold OF the enterprise, it is Ger
tainly genuine and its success Is as
gured, which will materially aid the
people Of this section.

BUILD TO RAPID CITY.
Northwestern & Missouri Line Be.

Northwestern & Missouri Line Be-
ieved to BE Trunk Branch.
Prof. McLaurey of the state school
of mines has returned to Rapid City
from Chicago with information con-
corning the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul railroad of great interest to all
jewellers there.
The belief now is prevalent that this
road intends to make Rapid City its
terminal point, and that work with
that end in view will be pushed rapid
ly. The recent survey of eighty acres
of land adjacent to the city would
show that this ground was at least
under consideration as a terminal sta
ton.
1t now is believed that it is the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul road
which is building the extension known
as The Northwestern & Missouri road
from this city to Mystic. One fact
which points in that direction is the
fact that the light rails with which sew
eral miles of this road already were
equipped have been taken up and
heavy rails, suitable to trunk line,
have been put down in their stead.
Were this road werely to serve the
purpose of connecting link between
Rapid and Mystic, the other rails
would have been sufficient. 1t is be-
lieved also that the st. Paul win run
only spur to Deadwood, which It will
reach from Pactola.

made three circuits of the building.
The filing of a petition in voluntary
bankruptcy by Frank ID. Mills and
Guy G. Mills of Sioux Falls, who have
carried on a building contracting bust

of sensation. They place their La

Among their largest creditors are
the Sioux Falls National bank, in the
sum Of $500, and Symms-Powers

of $4,000.
Last spring the senior member Of
the firm disappeared In Kansas City
under circumstances which indicated
he had been murdered, and for several
weeks the police of that city carried
on an investigation in vain attempt
to unravel the mystery After some
weeks he was located at Portland, Or,

South Dakota Millionaire Falls In Love

South Dakota Millionaire Falls in Love
at First Sight of Woman.
A pretty romance centers about the
coming marriage OF Harris Franklin
Of Deadwood, with Mrs. Sadie Rohr
Of ST. Louis. Mr. Franklin has just re-
turned from the East, and corrobo-
rates the stories that have been going
the rounds of the press concerning
him and his fiancee. 1t was by a hap
by chance that Mr.. Franklin. on his
recent Eastern trip. happened upon
the hotel in Atlantic City where Mrs.
Rohr and her sister were staying. Her
sister was an old friend of the South
Dakota millionaire and recognized him
as he sat alone on the veranda. Mrs.
Rohr had already observed him as a
noticeable man. 1t was truly case of
love at first sight. ''It seemed to ms"
said Mr.. Franklin, that we had known
each other for at least FIVE thousand
years, and Mrs. Rohr agreed with me.
think we must have crossed the Red
sea together"
Mrs. Sadie Rohr, who makes her
home In St. Louis, is sister OF the
woman who started the craze for kiss
ing Richard Pearson Hobson. They
are well known young women Of good
family. Mr.. Franklin is as happy as
q boy and seems at least ten years
younger. The acquaintance was made
and the engagement consummated
within the period of three weeks, but
the marriage will not take place for
i q few weeks yet.
Harris Franklin came to the Black
Hills in the early '70s poor man, but
10 now rated in financial circles as a
millionaire. He was for number of
years in partnership in the cattle bus
mess with Ben Baer, now of st. Paul,
and has not only made his money him
self, but may be said to be truly a
self-made man. He was born in Rus
sia of good Jewish family, but, ac-
cording to the laws in that country.
was allowed no education except what
he could receive in Hebrew; conse-
Quently upon coming to this country a
mere boy, he was unable to do bust
ness that involved reading or writing
| in the English language. He says he
used to sit up nights copying the bills
that were presented to him and in
that way gained his acquaintance with
the English language. He has always
been man of action, and has been
identified with all the most progress
sive movements in the city. He is as,
sociated with Samuel Allerton of Chi
cago in the Golden Reward mine, and
has large banking and real estate in
terests in Deadwood. He received
some mention lately throughout the
country when he purchased an i'm
mense bunch of cattle belonging tt

Immediately, realizing some hundred
thousand dollars on the deal. He is
said to be the richest man in South
Dakota. Although he and his wife will
visit Europe on their wedding trip, YET

home in Deadwood.

New Methods OF Routing cattit
Thieves Is Applied.


Angered by the continued theft OF
cattle and horses, the ranchmen resid.
ing in Stanley county have adopted
new method of tracing the "rustlers'
so they may be- brought to justice.
In the past it has been customary
for cattle and horse raisers, when
their herds have been raided, to offer
minimum rewards for the detection
of the thieves and recovery OF the
stolen animals. These rewards have
not been large enough to tempt weak
kneed members of the gang of thieves
to betray their pals, and the result has
been that the thefts have continued.
1t is conservatively estimated that dur
Ing the last year a SUFFICIENT number
of horses alone to mount small
army have been stolen from the ranch
men living In this and other parts OF
Stanley county.
Under the leadership OF A. J. Hauge,
one of the most prominent ranchmen
in the county, new method is now to
be adopted, which 1t is hoped will have
good results. Recently Mr.. Hauge had
three head of horses stolen. and in
stead of offering the customary paltry
reward of s25 or $50 for information
which would lead to the recovery OF
the animals and detection of the
thieves, he has offered a reward OF
$500 for the arrest and conviction OF
the person or persons who stole the
| horses. s
1t is believed that the offering of a
reward of this size will encourage
some of the "rustlers" to give way
their pals, and that by this means
horse and cattle "rustling' in Stanley
county will become thing of the
! .a5t, as in Lyman county, where Wig
orous and persistent crusade against
the thieves has reduced thefts to the
| minimum.
| The legitimate cattle and horse
raisers will endeavor also to discour
age the practice of some of the ranch
men who~when called upon have not
| hesitated to furnish bonds for those
who are arrested on the charge o.
stealing horses and cattle.

Under the provisions Of the ruling
OF Judge Whiting of the Ninth circuit
many of the stock owners in the east

the dipping order of the state board.
Now that Or. Ramsey of the govern
ment bureau has taken charge OF the
situation and has promulgated the or
der, No dip, no ship" the stockmen
in the counties along the Missouri
river, who all complied with the order
of the state board, are reaping the
benefits Of their compliance. Cattle
buyers are making no stops iii the
counties which refused to comply with
the dipping regulations, as they do not
care TO invest in cattle which they
cannot ship, and the Missouri river
owners are the ones who are getting
their cattle On the market. Buyers are
ranging In Hughes and Sully coun.
ties, buying all the good stuff they can
find and at prices considerably in ad-
vance OF those paid last year. The
cattle owners say they have won in
two ways by the dipping: first, In the
improved condition of their cattle. and
second. III the fact that they are ID
