Sioux City, Iowa, Feb. 2.-Pounced on by
two robbers who lay ambushed in vacant
house. his arms pinioned behind him by one
of the men, all his money taken and himself
thrown into dark windowless cellar and locked
in, was the experience Of Frank Bouch, when
he went to look at house for rent He shout
ed for help for three hours to no purpose, but
finally managed, after three hours, to dig his
way out thru the brick wall.
That money is indeed shorter in South Da-
kota, Nebraska and Iowa is Indicated by the
quarterly statement of the national banks of
Sioux City, issued yesterday. The deposits
amount to half million dollars less than three
months ago, and three-fourths of million
less than year ago. The bankers say that
an unusual amount Of paper has been put on
cattle now being fed in Nebraska and South
Dakota Country banks have called in their
deposits, and some of this has been used by
the farmers for investments.
Practically all the livestock interests in South
Dakota concerned in the opening of new
commission house here yesterday at the Sioux
City stockyards, by stockmen of South Dakota.
1t has the name of the South Dakota Livestock
Commission company, and is evidence of the pro
test of South Dakota shippers against the in
crease in commission rates at this market
Those in the concern are John Fish of Park
ston, James Carlson of Armour, LIE Roy Boochel
| and James Hanskutt of Armour, and J. M
Doyle of belmont. The new firm was refused
a membership in the Sioux City Livestock Elk
change, after $3.50 had been paid to secure thu
option of the late J. B. Ryan. This did no
deter the South Dakotans, who opened thei
office without membership. g..

For Firemen's Tournament.

Now that Sioux Falls has been selected as
the place for holding the next annual tourna-
ment of the South Dakota Ftremen's association
the citizens will take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to make the occasion a midsummer JOLT
acation. During the last few years interest in
these tournaments had died out as compared
with the enthusiasm Of dozen or fifteen years
ago, when the tournaments were big events of
the year in the state but it is confidently be-
lieved, and everything indicates, that the tour
nament this year will be greeted with some of
the old-time enthusiasm and prove the most
successful held in the state for many years.
