GOVERNMENT VS.. BREWERY.
Failure to Affix Revenue Stamps Causes
Trouble at Sioux Falls.

Sioux Falls, S. D., July 3O.-Two half
barrels of beer which We're shipped
from the Sioux Falls warehouse of the
Val Blatz Brewing company, have got
ten the brewing company and it's agent
into a difficulty with the government.
This was because the half barrels did
not have affixed to them the revenue
stamps required by the federal stat
uteS.
The beer was shipped to George
Ryan, a saloonkeeper at Flandreau
Deputy Internal Revenue Collector
Simpson, of Flandreau, CHANGED to be
in front of Ryan's place when the beer
was unloaded from dray and noted
that the half barrels were without
revenue stamps. He at once confiscated
the barrels and made report to Col
lector Ellerman, who made a COM
plaint which caused the United States
authorities in this city to take action
in the case.
L. j. Amman, the Sioux Falls man.
ager Of the company. was arrested and
sioner D. j. Conway, OF this city, on the
charge of being responsible for the
violation of the law. The defendant
himself took the witness stand and
among other things testified that it was
the practice of his company to stamp
kegs, barrels and half barrels of beer
with revenue stamps prior to their
shipment from the headquarters of the
company in Milwaukee, agents at
warehouses having nothing to do with
it. Largely on his testimony the case
against him was dismissed by Commis-
sioner Conway.
However. contrary to expectations,
this will not end the matter. L, is stated
on the best of authority that the gov
ernment will take the matter before a
tJnied Sttaes grand jury which is to
convene at Deadwood in September and
will endeavor to secure an indictment

JAIL DELIVERY AT WATERFOWL.
Three Desperate Characters Sawed
Two iron Bars i'm Two.

Two iron Bars i'm Two.
Watertown, S. d. Aug. 2.-Three
prisoners escaped from the Codington
county Jail last night by saving
through two iron bars on the outer
windows of the Jail corridor.
Two of the prisoners We're sent up
for resisting an officer and the third
was the famous forger. Charley Jones,
Of North Carolina, whose chase
through the wild Carolina mountains
and capture in spite of all aid of his
influential friends and relatives by
Sheriff James Horswill of Hamlin
county, this state. was one of the most
daring ever made by a South Dakota
officer. The Hamlin county sheriff, ir
order to insure the safe keeping of his
bird, sent him to Codington county's
fine new jail but which, like many
others. proved to be no obstacle to the
freedom of this Willy outlaw, and he is
gone, much to the chagrn of both
sheriffs. That Jones had a confederate
on the outside of the Jail, probably one
of his cronies from the mountains, is
shown by the fact that a heavy iron
screen over the window was cut by
nippcrs from the outside and there are
no tracks in the soft dirt under the
window, showing the man came down
a ladder fro mthe window and did not
drop.
Jones left a humorous note for the
sheriff, thanking him for his hospi-
tality and telling him that only bad
news from home had tempted him to
leave. The note was We'll written and
in good style.

A local party cashed the check, and
one of the banks in turn cashed it for
him. After securing the money on the
bogus check the fellow hired a rig at
one of the liveries to drive out in the
country, but he instead drove to Alb

in a barn in that city. Bovres is about

NO NEGRO COLONY in AURORA.

White Lake, S. D., July 2S.-People
here have been greatly interested in the
report, sent from Yanllton few days
ago. that u large colony of colored peo-
pie are to locate in this (Aurora) coun-
ly. with the object of subsequently Sc
curing large tracts of land in Lyman,
Stanley and eade counties.
In some quarters there is a DISPOSE
rion to DOUBT the truth of the report,
largely for the reason thai so far as
can be learned no person or persons
representing a negro or other colony
have secured any options on Aurora
county lands. The report may have
grown out of the fact that about a
year ago some Yankton real estate men
had u party of negroes here looking at
farm land. but they purchased none.

yesterday in the sum of $1,000 bail each,

court on the charge of issuing and hav-
ing in their possession quantity Of
counterfeit bills. which We're Of the
denomination OF 81, IS and $40. The
men had $50 in these bills when
searched SO that there is clear case
against both. They were arrested at
Scotland and were given hearing be-
fore United States Commissioner E. T.
White. Both prisoners are in the
county Jail here, unable to furnish
bonds.
The harvest prospects were never bet
ter in this county than now, as the har-
Nester is practically in every field in the
county. AS usual the thresher will
quickly follow the cutting of the grain
and it is confidently expected that this
year the state will roll up it's banner
year in it's history. This county will
not be an exception, as the weather has
been most favorable. no bad storms SO
far and no hail, and wheat and oats
are a remarkable crop. Corn is not a
bit behind in prospective yield, and
will be heard from later with equally as
satisfactory results

HALLOWEEN NIGHT
The Quaint Festival VIII be Celebrat-
ed Quite Extensively in Grand
Junction-Somethi
About the History
the Night.

Today is the concluding day of the
month of October and tonight is Hal
lowe'en, that quaint. mysterious, al
most supernatural and time honored
festival night.
Grand Junction boys and girls will
celebrate the coming of Halloween
as thousands upon thousands of boys
and girls will celebrate this strange
festival throughout the world. Bon
fires, parties, pumpkin goblins, boy
ish pranks will be greatly in evidence.
Several parties are announced for
this evening not only among the lit
tie folks but among the older girls
and boys and among the grown ups
too. Many homes will be the scene
of frolics tonight and hearts and
Jack -o'lanterns, the emblems of Hal
lowe'en Will be most noticeable.
If you leave your gate out tonight
and it is in its place tomorrow morn
ing you can consider yourself very
lucky indeed. If you don't run into
string tied across the walk during
the evening you will be lucky again
Don't get mad at the boyish pranks
and the boys should not indulge in
anything more serious than pranks.
Halloween has always been and
will always be popular with those
who have an appetite for clean whole
some fun and frolic. 1t would be hard
to tell just how old the celebration of
Halloween really is. for hundreds of
years it has been commemorated but
as the years have pessed much of the
former solemnity and superstition OF
the night has been lost. A combina-
tion of love and a belief in powers
that are more than human is respon-
sible to a large extent for this queer
old festival night.
1t is a night when Cupid reigns and
lovers are in their glory. However.
seldom does swain or sweetheart stop
to think of the almost world-old ori-
gin of the night. The harvest festi-
val of the Roman Goddess. Pamona.
the drear religious rite whereby the
Drudical Saman was propitiated, the
fantistic revels of the medieval "Wal
purgis Night" the uncanny ceremon-
les of Scotland's "Shony," all such
mythology and tradition is as thor
oughly ignored in its prosaic twen-
tieth century as are hobgoblin tales
of elf and spook.
The delightful mystery of Hallowe-
en- furnishes just the touch needed to
complete the joyousness of living.
May the practices of Halloween be
perpetuated. Why shouldn't they we
ever cherish the childish spirit that
finds entertainment in the simplest
pranks-the nerve rasping "tic-tac"
the sly ringing of the door bell, the
impartial distribution of cabbage
stumps, even the ugly jack-o'lantern.
all these. and others. are strictly in
keeping with the night in "Boyville"
provided there be no willful destruc-
tion of property.
