number of cases were disposed of by

Kay for obtaining money under false

killing Richard Calvin attempted to Sc

More Rangers Wanted.

The forest service, ofthe United States
department of agriculture, has recently
sent Capt. Seth Bullock of Deadwood
supervisor of the Black Hills forest re-
serve, circulars regarding employment
in the forest service with particular ref
erence to the forthcoming examination
to be held for the position of forest
ranger. Capt. Bullock has these circu-
lars on hand and will distribute them to
any one interested. The letter from the
acting forester to Capt. Bullock is as fol-
lows:
April 10, 1905
"Mr. Seth Bullock, Forest Supervisor,
Deadwood, S. Oak. Dear Sir The
United States Civil Service Commission
will soon hold examinations for the po-
sition of Forest Ranger at one or more
points in the etste or territory in which
your reserve is situated. You will be
definitely informed as soon as the dates
and places are fixed. Many additional
Rangers will be required for the protec-
tive force on new forest reserves soon to
be established, and there are numerous
vacancies on existing reserves which
must be filed.
THE examinations will be along prac-
tical lines, intended to bring out the
training, experience, and general qualif.
cations of applicants. The chief object
in view is to obtain men thoroughly fit
ted for the work in hand, and especially
men familiar with the general conditions
of the locality in which they seek to be
employed. Success in these examina.
tions will depend very much more on
the applicants ability to do the ordinary
work of a Forest Ranger, and do it well,
than upon any theoretical knowledge he
may have obtained. No man Of good
character and ability, and sound body,
who has had actual experience in the
timber or on the range of the west need
hesitate to try the examination.
In order that those men best fitted
for the work may be present and com
pete it is extremely desirable that wide
publicity be given to the coming exam
ination
THE law now provides that Forest
Rangers must be chosen, when practic-
able, from residents of the state or terri
tory in which the forest reserve on
which they seek employment is located
II send you under separate cover fifty
copies of circular regarding employ
ment on the National Forest Reserves.
Please distribute these promptly among
those most interested.

Live Stock Inspection.
ERToN w. PRICE,
Acting Forester. "

The state Live Stock commission held
meeting at Rapid City, April llth, to
formulate rules for the guidance ofcoun.
ty cattle inspectors relating to the dip.
ping of cattle. Much interest was mani
tested by the stock men of the state who
were present, and it is thought that the
meeting of the commission did much
good in the way of getting a better un.
derstanding of the provisions of the law
The commission was greatly assisted
in its work by DR.. r. A. Ramsay, of Far
go, n. D., inspector in charge of the fed
eral work in Montana and the Oak otas
The fact that the South Dakota law is
based upon the requirements and regu
lation of the bureau Of animal industry
is about the only point that required ex-
planation. DIR. Ramsay's experience
and interest in the governm ent work
made his services to the commission in
valuable. Some opposition to the re-
in the western ranges, but after a
thorough understanding of the constitu-
ton as explained by DR.. Ramsey, nearly
all of the dissatisfaction disappeared. 1t
now looks as though the stock men all
over the state will take hold of the ques-
tion of dipping their cattle where infec-
ton exists and clean up their herds.
The following rules have been adopted
ed by the government inspectors:
All cattle where infection is found to
exist shall be dipped at least once and
all infected animals shall be held for
second dipping. In localities in which
the county inspector is convinced that
general infection exists the inspector
shall require that all cattle be held for
second dipping.
All cattle shipped or driven into the
state for any purpose other than for i'm
mediate shipment or immediate slaugh-
ter must be dipped according to the pro
visions of Section Is Of the dipping law
passed by the 1905 legislative session Of
the state OF South Dakota. Cattle which
have not been so dipped, ifaccompanied
by clean bill of health from federal
inspector, shall be admitted at once un-
der the state or federal supervision at
the most practicable point at or near
their destination.
County cattle inspectors are instructed
to require owners or persons ia charge
Of cattle having died of scabbies or other
contagious or infectious disease to burn
the same in thorough manner. Should
any animal or animals die in any local.
ity where it would be impossible to no
tify the owner or persons in charge it
shall be the duty Of the county cattle
inspector to do such work.

OUR AVENGERS.

In a we'll regulated community
the individual does not avenge his
wrongs by taking the law into his
own hands, nor will a number of
men, especially under cover of
darkness, turn to be avengers OF
real or fancied wrongs by resorting
to mob force.
Men are to learnlithat the civil
authorities, the constituted powers
OF community, are designed to
be its guardians, defenders, aveng-
ers. Fortunate are the people who
confidently look to such powers
for protection, for a settlement of
differences between men. Any
man who seeks to interfere with,
pervert or thwart the processes OF
a court by stealing indictments or
other papers, by bribing jurors, by
producing false testimony, by run
ming away witnesses, is himself a
law-breaker, a public enemy, a
dangerous man, and should be
prosecuted to the fullest extent,
and should suffer the penalty i'm
posed by law.
These thoughts are especially
applicable to Montgomery county
at this time, inasmuch as court
records have been stolen. Regard
for the best interests Of our county,
the maintenance OF law, security
OF lite and property and the perpe-
tuity of our civil institutions re-
quire a most thorough investiga-
tion Of this affair.
Three times during the past few
years have the two clerks Offices
at Courthouse been broken into
and TINS far no one has been pun
ished or even arrested.
