TO PREVENT
CAR FAMINE IN S. D.
All F2ckSs Will Put Every Car
Possible in Service Dur

WILL NOT HOLD GRAIN
Farmers Want Immediate Sale So as

More Land in the Sum
shine State.

Huron, S. D., Sept. 5.-Every effort
possible is being made by railroad men
TO prevent a car famine when grain
shipments from South Dakota sets in.
Representatives of roads operating in
the state are MAKING a tour of each d.
vision. inspecting cars preparatory TO
putting into service every n avail
able or that can be made so, at a mo-
ment's notice. That all roads will be
taxed to their utmost capacity Is al
ready apparent, and the fact that ele-
vators have been cleared, as nearly as
possible, Of their surplus grain and in
many cases enlarged, will materially
aid in caring for grain until shipments
can be made.
There is a disposition. on the part OF
the farmers not to hold grain longer
thar it can be gotten to market and
reasonable prices secured. The vast
amount OF money that will come into
the state by reason Of the immense
grain crop will enable the farmers to
cancel their obligations and make adj
ditional investments in farm lands.
During the past year the freight traf-
fc on all lines within the state has
been enormous and bids fair to con-
tinue indefinitely. This, together with
the fuel shipments into the state, is
likely to interrupt grain and cattle
shipments, and this is being guarded
against as much as possible by rail-
way officials and every effort posi-
BILE will be made TO accommodate snip

LOVED CHORUS GIRLS.
Story That Harry Thaw Was as Much
of an Adrrirer of Them as
Stanford hits

Pittsburg, Pa. Sept. 5.-William F.
Braun, proprietor of one OF the most
fashionable dancing schools in this
city, said that Harry x. Thaw had
haunted his place n e~ndeavored TO
form the acquaintance of his little girl
pupils until he threw HIM bodily out
and ordered hin never to return.
Evelyn Nesbit, now Mrs. Thaw, was
then about 10 years old, and she APP
piled 10 Mr.. Braun for tuition. He had
learned, he declares, that Thaw was
paying her fees, and he refused to re-
ceive her as a pupil. She then went to
another school. and Thaw settled for
her education in dancing there. Thaw,
so Mr.. Braun says, was paying the ex-
penses of several girls, none more than
IS or Ia years old. in dancing schools.
He hung about h school almost con-
stantly, and selected young girls whose
dancing pleased him, anu upon these
he lavished money ex~travagantly. This
was before he had become known as
q chorus girl lover in New York.
Thaw's statement that the first time
he ever saw Evelyn Nesbit was in a
New York theater when she was in the
chorus, Mr.. Braun says, is false.

LOST ESQ HEAD CATTLE
LARGE Bunch of Stock Belonging ta
pI.ck Hills Man Lost on Ranges.

Deadwood. S. D.. Sept. "a bunch or
cattle. about $50 i'm all, and valued at
not less than $40, GOO, are wandering
some place between the southern DouI-
dairy OF this state and the Canadian
line. They are the property of Henry
Wyttenbach, of Sturgis, who is practlc-
ally helpless in the matter. There Is
a vast amount of territory included De-
tween these two boundaries. and cattie
can scatter widely. This Is q good u
Illustration of what was always likely
to happen to cattle that were turned
loose upon the range n allowed 10
shift Tor themselves from shipping sea-
son to round up time.
A few years & Mr.. Wyttenbach put
about $50 head of stock in the care or
a ranchman in the western part Of this
state. AS they were yearlings, the
marketing did not until last
year. and up TO the present time My
$40 head of stock la been recovered.
The proceeds from these will about
cover the original cost and expense of
the range, but the profits on the in
vestment are either wandering around
the country or have been confiscated by
some one who has been able 10 eVade
the inspectors. How careful the in
spectors are, however, is shown by the
fact that only q few months ago Mr..
Wyttenbach received returns on one OF
the truants which had been shipped
from Moorcroft and a short time later
he received a check for one that had
reached South Omaha by being shipped
from Valentine, Neb. In both of these
instances, although the cattle were
shipped with other stock, the inspector
discovered Mr.. WyttenbaCh's brand
upon them, and sent the check for their
value to him. 1t is said that these cat
tie became separated during n of the
severe storms last winter.

LEFT CHAIN OF BOGUS CHECKS.
Deadwood Man Has Swindled People
in Many States.

Deadwood, s. D., Sept. S.-Ralph A..
Boyer who left here early in August
has been traced along his route by a
hahn OF bogus checks. which he left
behind him. So far nothing but the
checks mas been discovered, as he al
ways manages TO keep far enough
ahead Of them to avoid detection. He
came here the early part of the sum-
mer and was employed for a short time
as a clerk by j. l.. Bentley, of the Bur-
lington. Before that he had worked
at Rapid City for the Crouch railroad
and pore a good reputation there. He
held his position in this city for a
short time only, and, though he passed
some bogus checks here, they were not
discovered until after he had left. A
who claimed to be his wife left
at about the same time that he did.
From here he went to Sundance and
Spearfish, living by means of bogus
checks which he managed TO pass, and
from those points went to Sheridan,
Wyo., where he posed as an agent for
the Milwaukee railroad, and told the
people hat the road was figuring on
coming through Sheridan on its way to
the coast, and that he was about to put
g large force of men 20 work. He dis
appeared, however. leaving only the
bad checks. From that point he was
traced 10 Butte and other Montana
cities, and his TRAN was finally lost OF
in the state of Washington. In some
OF h cities he represented himself as
the traffic manager for the Missouri
River and Northwestern road, in 9TH
ers as special agent for the Milwaukee,.
and in still others as private secre-
tary TO Mr.. Bentley.
Western police officials have been
notified and efforts are being made &c
secure a photograph of the man to
place I'm their hands.
