WILL PROTECT THE GAME.
Black Hills Sportsmen Want SaIaried
Game Wardens.

The sportsmen of Lawrence county
and the Black Hills are determined to
save the deer and other game in this
portion OF the state. A special meet
ing of the Deadwood Gun club was the
means of the drafting of a bill which
is to be presented to the legislature
at Pierre. 1t is proposed to have a
state game warden at a salary of ST.
200 a year, also a game warden for
eacn county at a salary Of SIS per
month. Each county warden is to
have not to exceed four deputies dur
ing the open season at SIS per month.
The bill will prohibit the killing Of
deer under one year old and will make
it unlawful to bait upland birds or
deer or kill them from ambush, and
will also prohibit the selling Of game
at any time Of the year. The fishing
season will also be changed from early
spring to two months later, for the
reason that the Black Hills trout
spawn early and the open season as it
now is catches them during the spawn
ing period. All the principal sports
men of the northern Hills are taking
up this matter Of game protection. 1t
is to be made a state matter in which
all the hunters Of South Dakota will
take an interest.

PUT POISON IN HIS WHISKY
And Drank 1t While Under Liquid
Burden.

Wierdly strange is the story of
George Glidden's experience. He had
sold a load of hogs in washington, and
not wishing t be discourteous, drank
a glass of liquor with a friend. This
went to his head, and in his dazed con
dition he bought a pint of the stuff to
take home with him, saying he would
mix strychnine with it to poison
wolves.
On his way home he put the strych-
nine into the whisky and drank it, be-
lieying he was poisoning the wolves.
He fell into the wagon box and the
horses reached home, to be noticed
some time afterward standing by the
barn. He was taken into the house,
and while suffering untold agony, will
probably recover 1t is said he ad,
mitted taking the poison with suicidal
intent, although there seems to be no
motive for the act, he living happily
with his wife and children.

Found Guilty In Supreme Court Of Not
Reporting Sales as Required by
Law.
Minneapolis Tribune, Feb. IS, 1905:
The supreme court has handed
down a decision in the famous case
against Edwards, Wood & Co., a Cham
Der OF c. 1merce firm, or more exactly
the memDers of that firm, charged
with having made false sales on &C.
count OF grain shipped to them at Du-
luth by Victor Carlson Of Hallock,
Mimi.
THE court aflrms the decision Of
the municipal court of Duluth, rem
dered by Judge Winston, in which the
accused were found guilty"
The prosecution resulted from COM
plants received by the railroad and
warehouse commission from a large
number of farmers and other shippers
OF grain in North Dakota and Mime
sofa to the effect that the firm of Ed
wards, Woods & Co., who were doing
business by virtue of a license granted
and issued by the commission, had vio-
lated the commission merchants law
by withholding in each case a part of
the proceeds accruing from sales of
grain consigned to the firm, and that
in rendering accounts of the sales, Ed
wards, Wood & Co. had, in each in
stance. reported a lower price per
bushel than the price at which such
consignments had actually been sold,
~defrauding the shippers in amounts
ranging from u cen to 3 cents, and
more, per bushel.
After the original complaints were
filed against the firm, additional com.
plants we're received, aggregating sew
enty in all. 1t was decided to take up
the complaint of Victor Carlson of
Hallock, Mimi, as the first one for
trial. 1t was sworn to by Commission
er G. F. Staples, and resulted in Ed
wards, Wood & Co. being found guilty

CONTRACT is LET.
For Twenty-six Miles of New Railroad
in Pennington County.

in Pennington County.
The Missouri River & Northwestern
Railroad company has awarded the
contract to Messrs. Willis & Detwelter
of st. Louis for the construction of
tvrenty-six miles of the proposed new
railroad from Rapid City to Mystic, in
Pennington county. This will cover
all the work of that character remain
ing to be done on the line, and will
connect with the end of the track that
is already laid out of Rapid City.
The information to this effect was
received by F. C. Tucker of Deadwood,
chief engineer for the Missouri River
& Northwestern company, who said
that undoubtedly other contractors
who had been figuring on the work
would be afforded subcontracts under
Messrs. Willis & Detwelter.
The telegram received by Mr.. Tuck
er directed him to send profile maps
of the work to the contractors, whose
address is 1909 Chemical building, st.
Louis.
Mr.. Tucker says that work will be-
gin on actual construction as quickly
as the contractors can get their outfits
and men on the ground. There will
undoubtedly be work for a great many
other contractors on the same under
taking.

der of his declining years in peace

bank is now in the tolls Of the law.
and it will probably cost him a good
share Of his earnings to square &C
counts.
1t transpires that Stefani has been
carrying on a nefarious business for
several years without being molested.
The charge against him is that Of
buying and selling diseased meat, and
the evidence against him is so strong
that he can hardly escape a term in
the p~enitentiary. Stefani located in
q little howell near Burbank some time
ago. He was never molested by his
%neighbors, who knew nothing of what
he was doing or how he made a liv,
ing. 1t now appears that he has been
going about from place to place buy
ing dead hogs, cattle and poultry, and
thai when he secured a good load
would take the same to his little
hovel, dress the diseased animals, cut
up the meat and then ship it to the
larger cities. where 1t found a ready
sale at the cheap restaurants, the pro-
prietors of course not knowing what
they were up against-some Of them
probably not caring. In this manner
Stefani has been coming money, and
Sioux City, Omaha and Minneapolis
restaurants have been getting some
pretty cheap meat.
In a few months more Stefani was
figuring on going back to Italy to re-
side, but his trip will no doubt be de-
layed, as he has been bound over to
the April term Of circuit court. With
the proceeds of his successful bust
ness venture he has been investing in
real estate, and besides owning quite
a bunch Of land also has a nice sum
on deposit in a bank. The shanty in
which he lived is one of the filthiest
ever seen in the county, and it is
small wonder that neighbors fought
shy of the place.
