CONTRACT FOR NEW BUILDING.
Committee of Livestock Association
Holds Meeting at Mitchell.

Messrs P. F. Wickhem of Alexan-
dria, J. w. Wilson of Brookings, l.. A.
Larson of Vermillion and c. F. Ray
mond Of Mitchell, who comprise the
kota Improved Live Stock association,
held meeting in Mitchell and opened
the bids for the construction of the
building of the association. There
were seven bidders as follows: Cross
& Slater, $4,083; Curtis & Wagner,
$4,324; G. F. Leary, $4,365; c. H. East,
$4.370; A. ]. Kings, $4,525; l. H.
Wright, $4,615; j. NJ. O'Conner Of
Alexandria, $4,375. All the firms but
the latter live in Mitchell.
The contract was awarded to Cross
& Slater, who were the lowest bidders,
well satisfied that they were able to
get contract for less than the appro-
priation of $4,000 This will leave a
goodly sum to fix up the odds and ends
around the building.
Messrs. Cross & Slater expect to be-
and will have it completed by Dec. l,
which the contract calls for
When this building is completed it
will be the only one of it's kind in the
United States. Other Western states
have tried to secure an appropriation
for building like it, but they have
been turned down by the legislatures,
and it remained for South Dakota to
set the pace for the recognition of the
stock interests. Other Western states
will cite South Dakota hereafter as a
progressive state, having the interests
of the stockmen at heart sufficiently
to provided home for them.

BOX CAR FIGHT ENDS IN MURDER
Four Men Hold Up Ten on Freight
Train.

One man was murdered and two
others wounded in a battle between
four armed outlaws and ten passen-
gers on a Northwestern freight train
Immediately after the train left Hecla.
Sheriffs and deputies have been
securing the country for the perpetra-
tors of the crime, with the result that
at present three men whose descrlp'
tions are said to tally with those fur
nished by the victims. Of the holdup
have been arrested.
The bandits, all of whom were heav-
lily armed and masked, boarded the
train in the afternoon, three getting
on at Aberdeen and the fourth at Red
field. They mingled with the other
ten men in the car until 1t became
dark, when one of the men sprang to
his feet and ordered the men to hold
up their hands. Five sprang from the
swiftly moving train, followed by re-
volver shots. 1t is said two were hit
and slightly wounded.
OF the five remaining in the car,
one resisted the robbers, one of whom
fired his revolver point blank at him,
the shot taking effect in the back OF
the head. The robbers then jumped
from the car. 1t is not known how
much money they got.
The men remaining in the car say
| that when the train arrived at Ludden
! they notified the conductor, who re-
| fused to go near the car. The con-
| ductor sent for constable and the
| latter found the the man lying in a
pool of blood. His eyes had dropped
| from their sockets and he gasped, Il
| am killed"
The man was taken on to Oakes,
where he died later.
| A man arrested at Hecla answers
| the description given by the five who
got off at that place. The others were
arrested at La MOure.

Dances Instead Of Prays, So Does Time
in Guard-House.

Some time ago an Indian writing
from the Cheyenne river country, bit
terly criticised the Indian agent at
Cheyenne river agency for allowing
the Indians to attend celebrations OFT
the reservation on the Fourth of July,
where they indulge in dances and Sc
cure liquor. The agency officials as
sert that a number of Indians who Sc
cured passes to attend religious
gathering attended dances; that the
leaders in this trouble even yet are
doing time in the guard-house for their
misdoings, and that squad OF the In
dian police was sent along with the
party which is now attending the con-
vocation at Lake Andes, to see that
nothing of the same character occur

Milwaukee, Sept. 10.-On~ charges OF
conspiracy, Charles F. Pfster, the

against District Attorney Francis E.
McGovern, Assistant District Attorney
Henry F. Cochems, Special District
Attorney Guy d. Golf, and others, the
three officials above being named in

Gus political contest between the two
factions of the Republican party in
Wisconsin, and that the defendants in
the suit are members of the faction
arrayed against Mr.. Pfister. The COM
plaint is direct result of the recent

upon which he was indicted "s un-
true and false in every particular" "
AS result of the Indictment there

brought by Mr.. Pfister for damages
aggregating $750,O00.
