Rapid CITY. S. D.. April 2.Trains
are now running between this city and
Mystic on the Missouri River & North
western railroad. This road, which was
begun in 1891 by w. I. Coad, came into
the possession of G. D. Crouch in Feb
ruary, 1908, when actual construction
recommended. Previous to this time
100000 had been spent, seven miles of
track laid and about 40 per cent Of thu
grading completed. The company had
been involved in litigation, and for
many years successful outcome for
the enterprise had been deemed impos-
sible. 81
Mr.. Crouch began action in the cir
cult court to quiet title in December,
1908, and the suit, which was decided in
his favor, was appealed to the supreme
court, where the verdict Of the lower
court was sustained. The company
was reorganized and the road, which
had been known as the Dakota, Wyom-
ing and Missouri, became the Missouri
River & Northwestern. Mr.. Crouch is
not only the owner of the road, but also
its president and manager. He has
been unusually successful in pushing to
completion a task which was colossal.
Since the road passed into Mr..
Crouch IS possession in February, the
remaining 60 per cent Of the grade has
been completed. twenty seven miles of

COMMITTEE MEMBERS ON HAND

Likely-Dunn and Heatwole Both
May Have Proxies.

Members of the republican state cen
trail committee began to arrive today
in ST. Paul for the meeting tomorrow,
which will decide on the time, place and
basis of representation for the next
convention. Mile Bunnell Of Duluth
was down today, accompanied by L.
M. Willcutts, who holds the proxy for
Senator E. B. Hawkins. They were
busy today booming Duluth as the con-
vention city, and they claim good
pospect of success. Delegates from the
however, are almost solidly against Du-
luth, because of the distance involved,
and St. Paul is thought to: have the
most votes, altho Minneapolis has the
most favorable proposition and will
make a strong bid. - ~
Duluth's claims will be supported by
R. G. Dunn of Princeton, who will ap-
pear with the proxy of George H. Wy
man of Anoka. a
There is every indication that the
| committee will agree to use the average
vote for the state ticket in 1904 as the
basis for apportionment No opposi-

today, and there is strong attempt
to make the meeting harmonious and
a good starter for successful cam

AS TO Cnc udCe, some Time DeCWeeu
May % and June 10 is most likely to
be chosen. The northern counties will
protest against any earlier date, as it
would bring the caucuses in their seed

There will be several proxies at the
! meeting. w. H. Grimshaw will hold
the vote of Senator E. E. Smith of
Minneapolis; who is absent in the south.
James A. Larson of Walnut Grove will

Redwood Fails. If W W. E. Verify IS
proxy is presented by Joel P. Heatwole,
it will probably be accepted, tho Heat
wole does not live in Verity's district,

not live in the same district as Wyman

SHORT POUNDS DON'T GO
State Dairy and Food Department
Looks After Butter Packages.

Inspectors in the state dairy and food
department have started out after
short weight butter packages. They
are going direct to the storage plants,
with scales in hand, to weigh pound and
half-pound prints, and also to weigh up
the contents of Jars supposed to con
tain three and five pound quantities.
Butter shr1nks somewhat in 2. few days,
but the inspectors will insist on full
weight when fresh. They will also
check up butter held by the retailers.
AS the law is worded, the inspectors
can only serve notice the first time
around. The law provides a penalty
for any one "with knowledge de-

successfully financed. The line, which
extends thru the heart Of the hills from
this city to Mystic, is thirty-four miles
in length, and passes thru a mountain
GUS country, up the banks of Rapid
creek. This is the only feasible route
from the eastern foothills into the hills
themselves, and the road is known as
the "Key,' as it gives the only means
of access into this territory.
The road is broad gage and is tri
umph Of engineering skill. The heav-
lest grade is 2 per cent, and the great
est curve is Is degrees. This road will
form connections with the Burlington,
and furnishes quick and shorter trans
portation for this part Of the country to
Denver and other southern points.
The running of the first train over
the road was the occasion for great
celebration and for the entertainment
of numerous visitors. The cost Of the
road was about $1,1O0,0O0, and one mile
alone cost $4,000. This mile includes
an immense cut for the blasting of
which more than two and a half cars
of powder were used. Daily trains will
be run, and much ore from the northern
hills to the smelter, in this city, which
will be blown in in few days.

BUCHANAN MUST FIGHT
Sixth District Congressman Has on.
ponent in G. S. Benson.

Charles S. Benson of st. Cloud has
paid $50 into the state treasurer
and filed his affidavit as a republican
candidate for congress in the sixth dis
trict.
: This step was wholly unexpected, and
as the application came by mail, no ex-
PLANTATION was vouchsafed. It is evil
dent, however, that Mr.. Benson in
tends to jump Congressman Buchanan 8
early, make himself the candidate Of
the Buchanan opposition. He has been
active in politics for some years, and
was chairman of the old sixth district
congressional committee in 1896. when
Page Morris was first elected. He is
now manager of the st. Cloud Water
power company. He has not trained
politically with Senator Brewer, and
probably will not be satisfactory to the
latter s friends as his substitute. He
is like them, however, in being an
enemy of Buckman.

MAKE GRUESONE FIND
REMAINS OF CHILD DISCOVERED IN OPEN GRAVE IN THE OLD
 CEMETERY.

DOUGLAS, June 1. - Special. J.
 An open grave in which was the body of a small child was discovered at the old cemetery yesterday morn ing by several ladies who had gone there to decorate some graves.
 Somewhat of a sensation was ere ated when the matter was reported to the authorities, and it was thought for time that horrible crime had been committed.
 A local undertaken went to the cem- etery, and ascertained that it was the body of boy which had been inferred about three years ago. Several weeks ago the grave had been opened, so that the remains could be reinterred in the new cemetery. The men in charge of the removal had hoisted the casket from the outside box, not not ing that the body had remained in the bottom of the box, on account of the rotting of the bottom of the casket. A new outside box had been placed about the empty casket, without any suspicion that the body had remained in the grave.
 What mortified the discoyerers of the body more was the discovery in the grave of a small dog, which was sun alive, the animal having fallen into the grave in the dark.
 The body was that of a boy eight or nine years of age. but the name could not be learned. The remains were conveyed to the new cemetery and properly inferred.

WITH NEW MANAGER AND NEW PLAYERS TEAM WILL CLOSE
 SEASON CREDiTABLY.

DOUGLAS. June l. (SpeciaL)-
 The Douglas baseball team is not to die in the early part nf the season as was supposed. The team is to be re- organized this week with Alfred 4. Cohn. of the 1nternational-America as manager, and it will take a fresh start, with the intention of the man. agement of giving the lovers of the sport in Douglas the best article of ball possible. They have already the new uniforms which were donated by the enterprising firm of Scott & Thornton, and all that is required is an assortment Of bats and Q few other necessary articles.
 Secretary Kettle of the I. Nj. c. 4. has kindly donated the use of the Y. sociation building for practice. Lin coin park will be used for the regular games, and arrangements will be made to have the park diamond well wet down before every game.
 The lineup of the team will not be given out until after the team has in dulged in considerable hard practice. The club will be run on the co-opera- tive plan, and all funds which remain over expenses at the close of the sea son will be divided among the players.
 The people of Douglas are good baseball patrons if they get the gen. uine article, which the management will endeavor to furnish, and it is be- lieved that the team can close the sea son with no mean sum to the good.

cABULLONA RANCH CATTLE ARE SOLD TO DOUGLAS AND sIS-
 BEE CAPITALISTS.

The cattle On the Cabullona ranch one of the largest in :IoIthern Sonora were sold yesterday by the Cabullona company, through G. W. Linger, one of the principal owners. to Messrs D. H. Johnston, Of Douglas. Ben Sneed of Hereford. Bisbee and Douglas, and Peter Johnson, of Bisbee. Although the consideration was not made pub, lie. it is understood that one of the highest prices ever quoted on Sonora cattle was paid over to the company.
 The Cabullona company has had a most successful year, and their rang. es are oyerfowing with fat, sleek cat tle.' The number of cattle on the ranch cannot even be estimated until after the roundup late this summer.
 Every one of the new owners is we'll and fayorably known in Douglas, and in fact, throughout this part of the territory.
 C. J. Bromley, who has been in charge of the ranch as manager, will continue as such until after the fall roundup.

BIGGEST DEAL IN SEVERAL MONTHS CoNSuMMATED.-
 PlRTLE BUYS LOTS.

DOUGLAS, June l. - (Special.)-
 The biggest deal in Douglas real estate since the beginning Of the new year was consummated this morning. when E. R. Pirtle became the owner of one of the best pieces of real estate in the business district of the city. Four lots on G avenue between Ninth and Tenth streets were sold to MT. Pirtle by Alfred Paul and V. R. Stiles, of Fl Paso.
 The lots are those on the east side of the street from Ben Goldman s property to the real estate office of J. o. Martin, and including the prop erty on which is located the office of Won Arnini & Dixon.
 It is understood that the considera- tion was in the neighborhood of S21,- GOO, which is a heavy increase over the price at which the lots were pur. chased by MessTs. Paul and Stiles.
 MT. Pirtle has not yet decided as to whether he will build, but it is very probable that a handsome business block will be erected on the property which has a frontage of one hundred feet. The deal shows that Mir. Pir ties faith in Douglas. which is a sort of by-word, is still of the abiding kind.

LUCKY TIGER CHANGES
STOCK OF MRS. sTuRGEs HAS BEEN PURCHASED OUTRIGHT
 BY THE GRAHAM INTEREST.

DOUGLAS, June l. =. Special .)-
 Judge Townsend arrived yesterday from Fl Paso, accompanied by J. A. Taylor, one of the original owners of the Fl Tigre mine. He was asked if there was anything new in the litiga- tion over the Tigre mine, and in reply gave out some information which will be interesting.
 According to Judge Townsend, the original owners of the Fl Tigre mine, who became stockholders in the En- senada company and who have been aligned with B. F. Graham in the law suits for the mine, have received from the Ensenada Mining Company sight drafts for the amount due each one. These drafts are payable at the Min CTS and Merchants Bank in Bisbee. It is the opinion Of Judge Townsend that the giving of these drafts is in ef- feet virtual acceptance of the sums due them on the part Of the original owners of the mine. and will result in strengthening the position of the Fl Tigre Mining Company before the courts of Mexico.
 Sturges Stock Sold. Another bit of information which was gathered today concerning the Fl | Tigre is that what is known as the | Sturgss, stock in the Ensenada com pany has been purchased by those al l lied with B. F. Graham in the Tigre ! litigation.
 | Last week the former Mrs. Sturges 1 joined the Fl Tigre stockholders by | reyoking her old power of attorney to B. F. Graham. which authorized him l to vote her stock in the Ensenada l ,+ I, sNfr nl l with Grant Suits, Taylor and Riordan | in petitioning the court at Cananea to call a meeting of the Ensenada stock 1 holders. Since then either Mr. Ora, 1 ham or some one else allied with him in the controversy, has purchased the | Ensenada stock held by Mrs. Sturges 1 leaving the control of the Ensenada | company in the hands of the Graham side of the controversy, as heretofore As a result of this transfer of inter l est, the meeting asked for last week ! at Cananea will not be held
 President Sooy, of Kansas City, is
 still at the mine, but is expected to ar
 rive in Douglas in a few days. Judge
 Half is said to be in the City of Mex
 ico, where he has been for several | weeks.
 l Whether or not the original owners of the Tigra mine who now hold sight
 drafts for the amount due them iron
 the Ensenada company will cash these drafts or not is understood to depend
 on future developments of the law suits.
 The Graham interests have EseI
 granted the privilege of introducing
 additional testimony at Cananea, bu
 up to the present time none has beer offered. In the meantime work is pro gressing at the mine under the direc
 tion of the Fl Tigre company, but ac
 cording to reliable reports coming
 from there the force has been some
 what reduced lately.
