Travels With Insane Wife.

j. f. Six OF Interior, Stanley county,
thought all that was necessary when
his wife became bereft of mind was tU
load her up in a rig and take her to
Yankton to the state institution, which
he accordingly did last week. He first
went by team with his insane passenger
and wife to Sioux City, where the raw
.lngs of his wife barred her from hos.
pital. Six. then returned to South Da
kota, driving overland all the way.
Arriving at Yankton he proceeded at
once to the state hospital again to be
denied admittance, the law requiring
patients to be regularly committed by
the county officers where they reside.
Six, who is part Indian, was weary of
his journeyings and appealed to the
Yankton board which, after some teie-
graphing to stanley county agreed to
act for the Stanley county board of in
sanity and Mrs. Six was finally com NIT
ted, after journey of four hundred
miles.

Warden Invites Investigation.

Something of sensation recently
was created by the publication by a
weekly newspaper in Sioux Falls of a
serious charges of cruelty to prisoners
against the management of the Sioux
Falls penitentiary, AT first no particu-
lar attention was paid to the charges,
but as they have been repeated at sew
eral intervals since the original publ.
cation, Warden Parmley of the peni-
tentiary finally has decided to demand
an investigation in order that he may
be exonerated.
Warden Parmley has forwarded to
She state board of charities and correc.
tions copies of the articles which have
been printed concerning his manage
ment of the penitentiary, and has de-
manded that the board make a
thorough investigation of the charges.

The last few years of Will f. Law
renee, who shot himself and housekeep-
er, Mrs. Otto Keehr, at Kadoka, have
been singularly full of tragic events,
such as seldom are the experience of
one family. Well to do, of excellent
family connections, he moved from
Violin to Yankton, where he built a
beautiful home. Almost with the com
pletion of the home came the death of
Mrs. Lawrence. Her mother, who un-
dertook to keep the little family to.
gether, then died suddenly. Next Mr..
Lawrence and hired man were drawn
senseless from cesspool. Lawrence
recovered but the other man died.
Lawrence next married a young girl
and inside of two weeks she had taken
carbolic acid and was dead. Lawrence
recently moved to Kadoka with the
woman he shot and once again trag-
edy developed, a double one this time
time and the Inflated man himself was
a a'vlctim on this last occasion.

Want Government to Help.

II the government adopts the plan
OF the ranchers living in thu western
part of Custer county, an expert trap
per will soon be employed to protect
the many focks and droyes Of cattle in
that section, from the depreciation Of
wolves.
Wolves in the open country between
Custer and Newcastle, Wyo., have al
ways been numerous, butneyer before
have their visits to the ranches been so
disastrous as during the past SUNNI er,
when the ranchers have lost, it is said,
about II per cent of their tlocks and
cattle.
The wolves are large Buffalo wolves
a couple of which can easily hamstring
a steer, and they seem SO fastidious in
their tastes that they never come back
a second night to finish up the killing
of the night before, but always select
another victim. The state, county an d
Stockgrowers' association have all Of
fered bounties aggregating $40 per
head, yet few of the wolves have been

earning $40 an acre and upwards from

Barley, for instance, Is yielding 81 to
50 bushels to the acre ard is bringing
as high as 80 cents. Some barley
yields are as great as SO bushels. Lam
bert Loman, for instance, purchased a
farm near Plana, this county, for S32
an acre. This year he secured 1000
bushels Of barley on a forty. acre tract
and sold it at % cents bushel, making
the income $33.58 per acre, or $1.5S
more per acre than he paid for the
land-and this from single crop.
The wheat crop is not as good as the
barley crop, but it is bringing in farm
ers $l3 to $l6 an acre pretty good re-
turns for an off year.
A resident Of this city purchased a
quarter section of land near Frederick
a couple Of years ago, broke 70 acres
and put it into flax. His yield was
very profitable, but the exact figures
are not at hand. This year he rented
the landson shares, furnishing the seed
