DROWNED WHILE SLEEPING.
Railroad Grader Near Aberdeen Fell
Into Creek and Was Drowned.

Aberdeen, S. D, July 3O.-An acct
dental drowning occurred in Snake
creek about one mile from Mansfield
late yesterday afternoon, the victim
being Michael Goose, a railroad grader.
The man went to sleep on a ledge
under a bridge spanning he creek and
was there when three other graders
went there about 6 o'clock. An hour
later one of the men aWoke n no.
ticed that Goose was missing, although
his coat, hat and shoes We're lying
where he left them. He aroused his
companions and they began a search.
Failing to find the man they notified
the town marshal and he discovered
the body in the water a few feet from
the bridge. The coroner of his city
was notified and after an investigation
he announced it q case of accidental
drowning.
There were no papers on the clothes
of the dead man that would ana the
authorities in locating his relatives or
friends. One of the graders sad thaC
Goose once mentioned Des MONIES as
his home. The police of that city have
been notified.

HORSES HAVE ACQUIRED
LOCO WEED HABIT
Startling Reports Emanate
From Slim Buttes Country
in South Dakota.
1T is NOT A NEW THING
All Over the Western Range Country
Horses and Mules Have Become
Affected With a Strange De-
sire to Eat the Weed.

Belle Fourche. S. d, Aug. Ire
ports from the Slim Buttes country,
are to the effect that the loco weed is
once more getting in its deadly work.
No serious trouble with the plant has
been reported for over twenty years.
Then Abe Jones had an entire bunch
Of horses locoed in this same country;
but this summer, the weed is once
more abundant, and several horseman
have suffered severely, n man having
lost a bunch of 100 valuable horses
up on Grand river.
Stockmen who have observed this
curious habit say that the stock first
eat the weed in the early spring before
the grass gets started. When they have
once tasted it they refuse all other
nourishment, and persist in hunting
out the poison, and in the course OF
several months become blind, rabid n
generally die during the late summer
or in the fall. Cattle and sheep may
acquire the loco habit though it is most
common among hCrses, who seem to
have a special fondness for the fatal
herb. 1t is a stout, silky haired plant
with oblong leaves, and when ripe has
pods with the ends incurved, and grows
from eight inches to a foot high, re-
.sembling wild sage. Because, when
ripe, the seeds rattle in the pod, it is
sometimes called the rattle weed.
Although the state of Colorado spent
nearly Il quarter of Il million dollars
trying to find Il cure for the habit, yet
thus far, non has been found, and the
only chance for locoed stock is to
change the range, and even then,
though they may be persuaded in time
to eat other food, they often retain
vicious habits which make them use
less. The return of the loco habit
among horses this summer is viewed
with much alarm by stockmen, as the
loco is said to be plentiful on the north-
ern ranges.

CATTLE HAVE THE RABIES.
Many Head Near Oldham Have Had
TO Be Killed.

Oldham, S. D., July 30.-Some of the
cattle in his vicinity nave developed
strong symptoms of h~ydrophobia, and
1t has been found necessary to kill sew
eral of them. About three months ago
a dog belonging to P. c. Peterson, a
farmer residing near here, went mad.
and before it could be killed bit sew"
raj other dogs and a number of Mr.
PetersOn's cattle. It is feared that 9th.
err cattle in addition to those Which
We're killed may develop symptoms OF
hy~drophobia, and a close watch is be-
ing maintained SO they may be killed
promptly if they show signs of rabies.
So great is the crop in this vicinity
that it is doubtful if the elevators viii
be able to handle it. In order to pre-.
vent a grain blockade the local roller
mill is being transformed into a grain
elevator, with a capacity of $4,000 bush.
els. This will make six grain ~eVato
for Oldham, and it is hoped these VIII
be sufficient to handle the grain or TINS

CATTLE give
Way 70 sheep
South Dakota Ranchmen Are
Gradually Changing From
One to the Other.
WOOL. IN BUTTE OUNTY
1,75O,COO Pounds of Wool Shipped from
Butte County Alone Last Year,
and Belle Fourche Becomes
Largest Shipping Market.

Belle Eourche, S. D., July 30.-This
town, which has been for some time
the largest cattle shipping market in
the world, bids fair now to change its
character and become, instead, an i'm
portant point for shipping sheep. Fol
the last three years the stock interests
in Butte county have been gradually
changing from cattle to sheep. Many
men who owned cattle have turned
their attention to sheep, some Of them
having gone SO far as to relinquish
all their cattle holdings.
Last year there vas shipped from
Belle Fourche 99S, 900 pounds of wool,
and it is estimated that the crop which
will go out from this market during
the mex month will not be less than
!, 500, coo pounds. This is not the entire
crop of Butte county, as considerable
wool is shipped from Dickinson, N. D.,
and also from Evarts. S. D. The
amount of Butte county wool going
through those two towns will approx
mate $50, 900 pounds, making the total
crop for the county this ear in the
neighborhood of 1 ,75O, 900 pounds.
Not less than $50, 600 sheep are on the
ranges adjacent to Belle Fourche. and
within the next thirty days as least
$500, 900 will come into Butte county as
a result of the sales Of wool.
The average price of wool this year
has been 90 cents, an increase of 2
cents a pound over last years sales.
One sheepman, however, who has
about 90 900 sheep on the range fifty
miles north OF here, marketed $50, 900
pounds, for which he received 24A
cents. Prices have been very good this
year. Feeding lambs will bring from
50 to $2.35 this fall, and a few punches
of ewes have been sold at Sc a O.
The wool grown in this section of the
state ranks with Montana wool, than
which there is none better in the United
States. The adjacent ranges are espe-
cially favorable for sheep, as there is
an abundance of good feed n water,
and as the natural breaks in the coun-
try afford desirable protection for the
stock during the sudden storms Of Win
ter.

HARVESTERs TO RATTLE.
Great South Dakota Crop Ready for
ReaperS,

Huron, S. D., Aug. Harvesting of
small grain in this locality will be in
general progress within the next few
days. Some fields of macaroni wheat
and also early sown barley n rye,
will be cut during the coming week.
The small grain harvest will come on
very rapidly and in spite of the fact
that good wages are offered for harvest
hands, the supply will not meet the de-
mand. The small grain harvest in this
part of the state is considered one of
the best in it's history, while the acre
age is, perhaps, only a trifle greater
than that of forner years, the yield
is expected to exceed that of n other
season. There is ample moisture for
maturing the small grain crop. but in
most localities corn would be benefited
by rain. The crop, however, although
backward at first, is regarded as far
advanced as last year at this time.
Spelt and millet are as good crops as
ever were grown here, while the hay
crop, which is now being harvested, is
exceptionally fine and very abundant.

GOVERNMENT VS.. BREWERY.
Failure to Affix Revenue Stamps Causes

Trouble at Sioux Falls.
Sioux Falls, S. D, July Solve half
barrels of beer which We're shlpped
from the Sioux Falls OF the
Val Blatz Brewing company, nave got
ten the brewing company ana us agent
into a difficulty with the Vernme
This was because the half barrels did
not have affixed to them the eVenu
stamps required by the federal stat
uteS.
The beer was shipped to George
Ryan, a saloonkeeper at landreau.
Deputy Internal Revenue Collector
Simpson, of Flandreau, CHANGED to be
in front of Ryan's place when the beer
was unloaded from a dray and noted
that the half barrels were without
revenue stamps. He at once confscated
the barrels and made a report to Co.
Iector Ellerman, who made a COM
plant 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
taken before United States Commiss-
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 evenu stamps prior to their
shipment from the headquarters of tbs
company in Milwaukee, agents at
warehouses having nothing to do with
it. Largely on his testimony the case
against him was dismissed by Commits
sioner Conway.
However, contrary TO expectations,
this will not end the matter. 1t is stated
on the best Of authority that the gov
eminent will take the matter before a
Unied Sttaes grand jury which is to
convene at Deadwood in September and
will endeavor to secure an indictment
in the case.

BOOM IN TELEPHONE BUSINESS.
203 Companies in South Dakota Now;
4 Ten Years Ago.

Pierre, S. D., July 3O.-The reports.
filed with the state auditor for the pur-
pose of telephone assessments show
that there has been an increase Of six
ty-ive such companies in the state,
since the return was made to the board
a year ago, making 20S separate COM
panies which nave reported this year.
This growth Of telephone business;
has been the work of less than ten
years. The report of the auditor for
1895 showed four companies operating
at Aberdeen, in the Black Hills, and
the Northwestern and WatertoWn COM
panieS, two of which We're only local
exchanges. In that year the Black
Hills company returned POS miles of
wire and the Northwestern 16 miles,
which were all the toll lines in the
state, much Of the Black Hills mileage
being in the local systems.
This business has grown until the re-
port Of last year showed $3.50 miles of
line in the state, and the increase this
year Will make it over 10, 900 miles, and
q large amount of this is OF farmers
lines which bring the agricultural COM
munitieS in touch with the outside
world.
While fully half the companies are of
the farmer class, they of course do not
make up half the mileage, as the long
| distance toll lines and the cities make
up the largest part. The first of the
Independent lines on the record were
the J. l.. Zeitlow, which showed up in
the 1897 reports, and since then the in
dependents have been extending every
year, until it is a very small hamlet
and al isolated farm which have not
telephone communication.
The growth of the telephone business
has simply been wonderful, and, as it
has The whole country west of the
Missouri river to expand in, it is no idle
prophecy to say that it will be doubled
in the next two years.

DEADWooD DICK TO THE FORE.

for Shoshone where he will take a ham
in helping to put the country in obed-
fence to law and order. They go over
lar from this point, starting at Sunup
and travelling with all the speed their
ponies can muster. There is no part
of this country that is unfamiliar to
Dick, as he has Travelled in all direc-
lions IN the west while scouting
through this country in the early days.
AS he is so well posted in regard to
geographical conditions and also in re-
gard to the character of the men who
make trouble in new countries he will
be of great assistance to the Shoshone
authorities in helping to bring that sec
ton of the land under the hand of the
law This is the first time in nine
years that "Deadwood Dick" has
broken away from the shackles Of civil
ization that hold him in SO unwelcome
a grip and taken a glimpse of the old
life in which he bore so notable a part.
THE boys laugh at hat jug I am
taking" he said, but there's no
whisky in it. That's vinegar to use
when we strike al alkali country. Just
a few drops of vinegar and the water
Is all right. Why dom I lake whisky?
Why, I'm not afraid of snake bites.
No, the real reason is this. When Tn
in town n I want a drink of beer or
of whisky l take it, and that's all there
is to it; but when I used to be on the
plains I never had it with me. When
a man has whisky with him, he wants
two or three sings when he gets back
to camp at night, and then he gets
stupid and sleeps sound. And in those
days it didn't do to sleep sound. Oh,
I suppose it would be all right to now,
but I've got into the habit and that's
all there is to it."
