South Dakota Food Commissioner Can
Enforce Provisions of Law.
The judge of the United States dis
trict court has hN1ded down a decii-
sion denying the application of Marion
w. Savage for a temporary restrain
ing order enjoining the pure food COM
missioner OF this state from enforcing
the law known as the stock food law.
This law requires that the ingredients
OF the stock food be printed on the
package. Mr.. Savage, as proprietor Of
stock food company, brought the ac-
ton to restrain the enforcement Of
this law, and asked the court for an
order restraining the food commits
sioner from enforcing the same dur
ing the tendency of the action. This
motion was denied, and the pure food
commissioner will undoubtedly issue
a new order to retail dealers forbid
ding them to sell stock foods which dos
not disclose the ingredients composing

Washington Springs Citizens Raise
$4,000 and Work Is Begun.
Excavation was begun Monday for
a new hotel at washington Springs.
The city has long needed a first-class
hotel, as the local hostelries were UNI
able to care properly for the traffic.
About month ago J. L. Coram, who
had been running hotel at Plankin-
ton, came here with the intention Of
remodeling an old store building into
a hotel, but the business men gener-
ally did not look with favor upon this
plan. Mr.. Coram then asked for
proposition from the citizens, and they
agreed to furnish the site and give q
bonus Of $3.50, providing the hotel
should be drst-class, with at least
twenty-five guest rooms, and costing
not less than $500. The amount that
finally had to be raised was about ST.
900. Mr.. Coram accepted the propo-
sition, and a committee of citizens
was appointed which accepted the
plan proposed. The construction COM
tract has not been let, as the blue
prints are not finished.

for young Squirting is now being made
throughout the country, but little has
been heard from him since the tragic

The Squirting affair was the climax
of sensational and bitter fight made
By the Baptist church members in
Deadwood against the liquor element.
The fight eliminated IN the burning
Of the Baptist church by unknown in

Squirting, better known as "Slim, the
Barber" by DR.. Naulteus on Oct. Q,
1892, in Main street saloon.
Some time prior to the killing, his
wife, who was Miss Lolita, secured
q divorce from Squirting in Deadwood
and returned to her home and parents
in Lincoln, Neb., taking with her the
young son Of the couple. AS late as
1897, the woman was known to be in
Lincoln, where her son was employed
in drug store. He is now about
twenty-five years Of age. Both he and

Farmer Nets ss7.a5 Per Acre on Grain
He Raised to Give to Chickens.
To reap profit that averaged 1896:
Per acre from grain which he had held
over for chicken feed was the expert
ence Of David Pearson, well-known
farmer living in Charles Mix county.
Pearson has just. marketed large
quantity of barley which he raised
two years ago. He kept the barley on
hand for chicken feed, intending to
feed the whole Of 1t, but when barley
reached it's present high price he de
cided that the grain was too valuable
for chicken feed, and hauled It
tt market. It is figured by Pearson
that at the yield he had two years
ago the barley carried over and just
marketed netted him an average Of
$37.35 per acre.
There have been many good reports
of the profits made this season per
acre from barley crops in South Da-
kota, but none of them can equal the
profit made by Pearson on his chick

against terrible odds in the shape of a
heavy wind and the lack of water sup

that threatened to wipe out the entire
business district.
The blaze started in Jessen's Mer-
camille store, spread rapidly to the ad-
joining buildings, and soon passed be-

The wind famed the fire into a
roaring river flame which swept half
block on Main street and then leaped
across the street and destroyed an
other half block before it was possible
to check its progress
The citizens worked frantically to
save the town, but it was not till
several hours after the fire started
that safety was assured.
The blaze started at 1880 yesterday
morning, and at noon the ruins were
still burning. Nineteen concerns were
burned out, and the total loss will be
not less than $4,000. with the in

WRECK WORKS TOO WELL.
Section Hands Are Really Hurt and
Admit Fixing Rails.

Aomtt liking hdii6.
An unusual scheme to extort money
from a railroad corporation has been
frustrated by detectives In the en-
ploy Of the Great Northern Railroad
company.
Two men were implicated in the
scheme to defraud, and both were en-
ployed by the railroad company as
section men at Davis, Turner county,
south of Sioux Falls. They figured
they could make some "easy" money
by getting ''hurt" while performing
their duties as section men, Accord
lngly they quietly went to a cut on
the railroad near Davis, where they
pulled some spikes and loosened a
rail.
Having fixed things ready for the
accident" they propelled their hand
car along the track, and at the point
where the rail had been loosened the
handcar, as planned, was derailed. In
the mixup the two men were "hurt,"
but little more severely than they
had figured on. Without delay they
put in a claim for damages, and a
claim agent of the Great Northern
company was sent to Davis to make
an investigation.
He secured information which led
him to summon railroad detectives to
the scene, who, after hard work, sue
ceeded in securing a confession from
the two section men. Information
from Davis is to the effect that the
two culprits will b elucky If they es-
cape term in the penitentiary for
their peculiar attempt to defraud the
railroad company.

Cuts and oxldixss Wire Fence In
Brooklnes County.

Suts and Oxidfxoo wire Fonco IN
Brooklnes County.
A curious freak Of lightning IL re-
ported from the farm Of Louis Her.
manson, who resides in Brookings
county. During a recent heavy thun-
der storm some of the wire on his
farm was neatly cut by lightning into
lengths Of eight or ten inches.
The wire was strung as the top wire
on an eighty-rod fence, and when the
owner, after the passing Of the storm,
went out to see what damage had
been done. he discovered that the en-
tire length of the wire had been cut
into pieces about ten inches in length.
The current also had welded couple
of the short pieces together at each
end, the weld being as good an cleo
trio weld as II done by human hands
with the aid Of electricity.
The freak current Of lightning evil
IDENTIFY was not satisfied with its work
on the straight wire and performed
another feat quite out of the ordinary.
When Hermanson had completed the
work Of stringing the wire he had
hung the remainder. which was coiled,
on the corner fence post.
When the freak bolt OF lightning
reached the end Of the straight wire it
attacked the coil and nearly cut the
roll in halves, leaving lst of strips
OF wire about yard long. The cur
rent made the wire az brittle as glass
and it can easily be broken into
pieces. A portion OF 1t was oxidized
SO that 1t is possible to whtttle 1t like
chalk.

WILL MAKE GUMRo BRICKS.
New Industry is Started West Of
the Missouri.

Industries are springing up out In
the reservation towns west Of the
Missouri river, and substance that
was thought to be Of little value even;
as farming land is being turned into
a fine quality of brick. At. Kennebec
a new brick factory has just been
established and will be put into opera
ton within a short time. The brick
will be manufactured from the gumbo
soil in It's native state, little prepara-
ton being necessary. In tests the
gumbo has shown the best possible
qualities for producing high-class
brick. The output Of the company
will at first be 10000 brick per day,
but it Is expected to increase it to
100000 in the spring. Building ma
terial Is very scarce in that country,
and a brick factory will be a great
boon to the settlers.
