MAKE "wlLD WEST" RAID.
Ten Horses Are Run of by Thieves
But Are Recovered

But Are Recovered.
A horse stealing raid, which bore a
striking resemblance to the raids of
early pioneer days, has been made in
the western part of Aurora couaty.
By reason of the promptness with
which a posse of armed citizens took
up the trail of the thieves, their plans
were frustrated and they were COM
PEELED, after a strenuous and exciting
chase, to abandon the stolen animals.
The thieves first visited the pas
ture of County Commissioner Dunbar
and ran Off ten head of valuable
horses They also visited the barn of
Thomas Miller, living in the vicinity,
and stole one of his horses. They
then fled with the stolen animals.
The wholesale theft speedily was dis
covered and a posse started on the
trail of the thieves. In the Bijou Hills,
near the Missouri river in the southern
part of Brule county, the pursuers got
so close upon the heels of the thieves
that the latter were forced to abandon
the animals in order to escape.
The fact that the stolen horses
were being driven in that direction
indicates that the raid was made by
mixed blood Sioux Indians from the
Rosebud reservation. Had they sue
ceeded in getting the horses to the
west side of the Missouri river there
is little doubt they never would have
been recovered by the owners.

State Food and Dairy Commissioner
d. w. Small of Webster City is taking
steps for the closing up of all slaugh.
ter houses, meat markets and stock
houses are the worst offenders against
decent cleanliness, according to a gen
eral investigation which Mr.. Small re,
Gently made. Mr.. Small says the in.
terror and appliances of the typical
slaughter house are rarely if ever
washed, the walls being covered with
blood, grease and filth, which at this
season of the year attract and breed
swarms of flies Adjoining the house
are the cattle and pig pens, deep with
manure, the whole being an ideal
breeding place for disease.
Small says the stock yards at rail.
road stations. while either white
washed Or painted in many cases, are
usually dirty and in a condition to
spread contagious disease among
healthy cattle ready for shipment. He
asserts the back rooms and yards OF
many meat markets are often quite
at variance with the apparent cleanli
ness in front of the counters.
To correct this carelessness on the
part of many meat dealers the com
missioner is calling upon the chair
men &c the boards of health of the
count =, cities and towns of the state
to enforce rigidly all rules as to SAM
tation. All buildings in which meat is
prepared and all places where cattle
are corralled must be regularly
inspected and cleaned. Small says
South Dakota will oe assured of a pure
meat supply hereafter.

ual and distributed to the teachers.
These should be:
First-General instructions to the
teachers, urging self-preparation for
this important work, with especial at
tention directed to the teachers ex

RIGHT OF WAY.
Mysterious Railroad Agents in Clay
County.

Mysterious Railroad Agents In Clay
County.
A report is in circulation at Yer
million that the prospects are good for
another line of railway being built
soon through Clay county Farmers
say an agent recently has been among
hem in an effort to determine what.
obstacles would be found in the way
OF getting a right of way. Although
the agent would not announce the
name of the corporation for whom he
is working, there are those who sur
mise that the Chicago Milwaukee &c
ST. Paul is interested.
According to the railroad represent
tative, his company has plans for
something big in the way of railway
building. He intimated that it was
desired to lay track through the coun-
ties of Union, Clay Yanlston, Hutchin-
son, Dawson, Aurora, Buffalo, Hyde,
Sully, Potter and Walworth. The
starting point viii be near Westfield,
Iowa, and the terminus at Evarts. The
Milwaukee company controls the stu
alton al both places, and this is given
as the principal reason for the belief
that this company and no other is in
terested in another line.

els.
This is the mark at which the state
has set its wheat production for this
year. Wether or not the wheat yield
OF the state will reach this enormous
figure will be determined by the char
acter Of the weather during the next
ten days or two weeks
During the warm weather of last
week crops of all kinds made really
wonderful progress. While the rain of
Saturday was not badly needed in
many parts of the state, it came at a
good time for many localities, where
the surface of the ground had become
dry, and was beneficial to the crops
throughout the state
Crops in the state at large, from all
reports, are in really excellent condi-
ton. Although the present is the crit
1cal period for the crops of South Da-
kota, everything indicates that only IN
foreseen calamity, such as a hurricane
covering a wide extent of country, or
prolonged rainy period, can now pre-
will perhaps, be the greatest crop in
Its history.
There were destructive hailstorms
last week, but these were confined to
limited areas.
Traces of Rust.
Some traces of rust were found over
limited areas Immediately after the
prolonged wet weather of about two
weeks ago. The hot weather of last
week, however, removd all fears OF
damage by rust, at least for the time
being
Corn Looks Good.
Corn was very backward in the early
part of the season. owing to cool
weather, but the hot weather of the
past ten days or two weeks has pushed
this corn ahead very rapidly. Farm
ers in many parts of the state who had
given up all hope of being able to raise
crop of corn this year, now say
there is every prospect that their corn
will yield better than for several
years.
The part of the state west of the
Missouri river, although newly devel-
oped, has had fully as much rain this
season as the older part Of the state
east of the Missouri river, and the
crops of the thousands of new settlers
are almost certain to be of the bumper
kind.

staying with a man of the name of
Johnson, and, while the posse were
questioning Johnson, he made his ap-
pearance. He resisted the efforts of
the officers to arrest him. and was
finally overcome at the point of a pis-
toll.
He said his name was Ham Motif,
and surrendered to the officers the
knife with which the cutting had been
done. but refused to reveal his reason

Five Rhinoceroses' Bones Found by
Scientists in Bad Lands.
Prof John Melik of the Lead high
school has returned from a trip to the
Bad Lands with a party of Columbia
callege professors and students. The
principal explorations were made
some forty-fve miles east of Rapid
City, and fine collection of fossils
was made. They succeeded in getting
the partial skeletons of five rhinocer-
oses, from which they will be able to
make one perfect skeleton, which will
be the only one in existence. They
also discovered the remains of a
titanotherium. which is as perfect a
specimen as has ever been found. A
conservative estimate placed upon the
fossils secured values them at $500.

Sever al years ago charges were filed against Commissioner J. Lindley Green but he only received liberal coat of white wash.
 In speaking of his intention MT. AL len said: II am forced to bring these charges to secure the removal of Com-s missioner Green on account of his at titude towards myself, or leave this camp. It it impossible for me.to obtain justice in his court, and nay clients are made to suffer on account of Greens animosity toward their attorney.

Hud9in Spring
 Produce
Sample Consignment Arrives and
 Rivals Product of karshner $ Springs---SSprings to be Stocked

Clement Anderson and Gus Brown arrived last evening in small boat di- rect from the Hudgin Hot Springs via Ray river. They brought down some samples of the turnips, beets and cab bages grown there this summer. The produce will compare with any grown at the Karshner springs at Baker and far excells any grown in the States. One of the turnips measures 23-inches in circumference and weighs over ssix pounds. The cabbage and beets are particularly fine, the former being firm and crisp and weighing from five to ten pounds.
 Dr.. Hudgin will have boat load of produce on sale on the next trip down, the mammoth assortment brought this trip is on exhibition at the Postoffce. The doctor is sending up a lot of chick ems sent up and will install several in- cubators which will operate by natural from the hot springs. Preparations are now being made to stock the farm next spring with sheep. cattle and hogs. He will also ship his marten and com mence breeding them at the springs. The doctor has been experimenting dur ing the past year with the water of the springs and finds it highly mineralized and valuable in rheumatism and skin diseases. He ep1ans sanitarium at the springs.
 Twenty-Five miles of road will be con- structed from the springs to the. Yukon and at. this point -12 miles above the Pioneer coal mine-a small trading post and cold storage is planned. The beef, mutt n, pork and other farm products will be shipped from this post. The doctor believes that large trade. can be workedsup, and that generous, patronage is awaiting the man who can supply Yukon points with such native products.
