TOWN OF LEM MON.
One of the Newest on Milwaukee-Mo.
bridge Extension.

Lennon is one of the new towns
on the Milwaukee coast line extension
from Mobridge. 1t is a lively little
town of about $50 inhabitants. The
town is only about two months old and
has made rapid progress, considering
that all lumber used for building has
to be hauled from the Northern Pa
ciic railroad, a distance of ninety
miles.
The town consists of a general
store, two banks, barber shop, meat
market, two newspapers, two hotels
and a blacksmith shop, also several
other places of business. There are at
least a dozen buildings being put up at
present.
w. NJ. Vanderly, former postmaster
Of Marion, S. D., has just arrived to
make LIS new home on his homestead
north Of town.
Mr.. Recey, formerly of Worthing,
S. D., has established a blacksmith
shop at Lennon.
The new Milwaukee grading outfit,
with a large force of men, are grading
south of Gilstrap, about ten miles
west of Lennon.
The new road is expected to be in
running order as far as Lennon by
Sept. /.
A new p~ostofice building is being
erected and they are expecting the
future postmaster to get the appoint
ment at any time.
The artesian well outfit arrived on
the ground Saturday night to dig the
city well.
Field Bros. have established a dray
line at Lennon recently.
The Twentieth Century bakery is
now ready for business.
There was a meeting of the business
men of the town on Tuesday to dis
cuss matters regarding police protec-
ton and also make arrangements for
the building of a Jail. A subscription
for funds was circulated and a COM
mittee was appointed to take the mat
ter in hand. They decided to use stone
from the quarry west of town, and a
very suitable building will be built to
be used as a city Jail.

THE . TAX LAW.

The income tax law, which was en-
acted three years ago, while bringing
in a small amount of revenue to the
state, has not as yet swelled the state
cash to any a%ppreciable extent. The
total amount reported to have been
collected for the last fiscal year was
s ,7SS.75, of which $l,730.14 has been
RENTED to the state treasury. While
this is not yet bringing in any great
revenue it is looked upon as something
which will materially help out state
finances in the future.

SETTLERS SHOOT CATTLE.
Stockmen and Homesteaders Quarrel
Over Range.

Over Range.
The range stock question is reach
ing al acute stage in western Stanley
county, where the homesteaders are
being accused of shooting stock which
ranges upon the lands in which they
have put their crops. The stockmen,
in compliance with custom and the
law as it shows on it's face, are allow
ing their stock to run at will and the
gardens and crops of the homestead
ers are the sufferers from such tres.
pass. The ranchers say their stock is
found suffering from shotgun wounds
and in many cases killed from rifle
shots. They are offering rewards for
evidence regarding the perpetrators,
but that will be hard to secure, as the
homesteaders believe they are right
in keeping live stock off their crops
by any means in their power, The
cattlemen claim to be in the right
and there does not appear to be any
middle ground for compromise.
