SALOON TEST CASE
OF WIDE INTEREST

Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 5.-Retail
liquor men throughout the state. as
well as members of city councils, will
be interested in the outcom of a test
case, involving the legality of the pro-
visions of an act of the last Legislature,
which empowers city councils TO revoke
saloon licenses upon evidence that a
saloon MAJ has violated the provisions
of the state liquor license law, which
will be argued IN Saturday of this
week before Judge Jones, of the state
circuit court in this city.
The city council last week, as the re-
suit of a public hearing. revoked the
license of what is known as the Little
Dove saloon in this city, n the insti-
tuting of the test case was the out
growth of this action. Joe Kirby, at
tcrney for Dillman & Mccormick. pro-
prietors of the saloon, will contend that
the city council had no jurisdiction In
the case, and that the councilmen could
not properly hear evidence in the man
ner in which they did at the hearing
Immediately preceding the ~revoking of
the license of the saloon.
1t is said that Attorney Kirby will
further contend that the trial OF Dill
man & Mccormick before the city coun-
ell was not legal, and improper in form.
1t is understood that Attorney Kirby
Will argue that nobody or tribunal 9TH
er han the regularly constituted courts
a legally have the power to hold such
hearings n revoke saloon licenses.

SOUTH DAKOTA WANTS
300 MORE TEACHERS

Pierre, S. D., Oct. 5.-The state edu-
cational department estimates the
shortage of teachers in the state at be-
tween 700 and 500, and finds it no easy
matter to help the county superin-
tendents who desire teachers to fill
the schools. The reasons for this short
age are ascribed to different causes by
different people, but it is found that in
the counties where the lowest wages
are paid for country teachers, the
shortage is most severely felt, while
in the counties with better wages there
is not so much complaint, although his
rule is not a set one, as the shortage
is reported from the counties with
better wages as we'll as from those
with low wages, but not to such an
extent.
The state is badly in need of teach
ers, and in many cases it has been
found necessary to consolidate temper
arily several districts into one, to get
schooling for the children in the coun-
ItrN.

WASPS PUNISH HOBO
WHO INSULTS GIRLS

New York, Oct. 5.-A tramp who in
suited and frightened Miss Esther Bur
ridge and Miss Carlotta Snyder was
triply stung.
Miss Burridge, of Brooklyn, is visit
ing Miss Snyder at Lincoln Park, N. j.
The young women walked to a peach
orchard on the Snyder farm about a
half mile from the house. There, a
tattered, dusty hobo was filing a bag
with peaches.
What do you mea by stealing my
fathers fruit?" Miss Snyder called to
him. Get out of here"
No one else was in sight. For an
swer the fellow swore at the girls and
started toward them. They fed, Shrek

and Tige. the Snyder family dog, heard
them.
Marched to the Barn.
Better for the pursuing tramp had
he known that help was coming to
them. As he ran by a maple trees low
hough, he shook a wasps' nest on it.
The insects swarmed out and stung
the hobo numerically. Yelling with
pain he turned and ram, but not fast
enough to escape Tige. who attacked
him savagely. The dog would have
killed the tramp probably, for, half
blinded, he could not defend himself,
but Jackson, arriving, dragged Tige off.
The farmer marched the hobo to the
barn, got a horsewhip and then led
him to a siding on the Lackawanna
railroad, where stood a coal train about
to pull out. jackson told the brakeman
of his prisoners insults and threats,
thrashed him well with the whip and
made him get on a car.

SOUTH DAKOTA MAY
TAKE LIE BEAU'S OLD
CABIN ON MISSOURI
Early Home Of Scout and PATH
finder Still in Existence as
Chicken House.

LIE Beau, S. D, Oct. 9.-Many cisi-
zens feel that Antoine lie Beau's old
cabin, now owned by f. ]. Boehmer
and used as a chicken house, should
come under the law that gives the gov
ernment supervision and control OF ms
toric places of interest.
lie Beau'S cabin is now only q rev
rods from the romantic spot, on the
bank of the Missouri, where it rme
iy stood. Near it is d celebrated bat
tleground, where LIE Beau d some
trappers and squaws stood off a large
attacking party of Indians. A Mime
sofa settlement had been destroyed by
a band of Sioux, save eleven women
and children who were taken to an IN
dian village then existing at a point
a short distance north of the present
town of LIE Beau. The whereabouts
of the captives became Known, and
Tony LIE Beau was urged TO attempt
n recapture.
Fought the Indians.
Forming a small party, lie Beau sue
ceeded in trading ponies n ammunl-
ton for the women and children. But
soon after he started away the Indians
became dissatisfied with the bargain
ana gave chase for the purpose OF re-
taking the women and children. lie
Beau refused and he and his little
band fought until the Sioux We're criv-
en- off. Both parties lost heavily in
dead and wounded, and skulls of the
victims have been dug up b. the LIE
Beau citizens in the past few days.
Old Tony LIE Beau himself would
never have dreamed of the rush for
this valley which the building OF the
Minneapolis and St. Louis extension
presages. He moved into the lie Beau
country in the '4Os. In 1888 he joined
a company of recruits at st. Louis. in
the service of the American Fur COM
pany, and made the long journey up
the Missouri and into this country over
twenty years before it was known as
n territory. In all of the year of his
frontier experience, LIE Beau declared
he was never nearer death than on his
first trip. which ended at the mouth of
Moreau river.
The wilderness held no terrors for
lie Beau, and he was able to match his
cunning against that of the Indians.
Like other Did rappers of his day, he
married a sQuaw. Over 800 of his de-
scendants now live IN the Cheyenne
Indian reservation.
