RAILROAD GOT THE VERDICT
Jury IN Cattle Killing Case Brough,
in a Verdict for the Milwau-
kee Company.

In circuit court this morning was
finished the CASE OF John Jungworth
against the Chicago, Milwaukee s. st.
Paul railroad company, which was
sued for $3.50 damages sustained by
the plaintiff when three of his cattle
were killed by an engine OF the CON-
pany. The evidence tended to show
that the engineer used every possible
precaution to avoid the killing Of the
cattle which we're travelling on the
public highway in charge of a boy
belonging to the plaintiff. and that
1t was evident or the approach Of The
train that he did not make any
attempt to keep the cattle from
going on the track.
The jury was out but a short time
aud brought in a verdict about the
noon hour in favor of the railroad
company. Every man on the jury
was a farmer at that. The time was
when a farmer jury was supposed to
always bring in a verdict against a
railroad company when it killed any
thing IN the country. Preston s.
Hannett appeared for the company,
and W. j. Hooper, OF Parkston for
the plaintiff.
The case of G. NJ. Ink vs.. the
Western National bank was taken up
next. Mr.. Ink seeks to recover 5000
from the bank, which he deposited
there as the preliminary transaction
to a land deal.

PLACED UNDER PEACE BONDS
Miss May Daley Placed Under Bonds
of 5000 to Keep the Peace
as Result of Quarrel.

The Olney house, on the south
side, was the scene OF a quarrel
between two Young ladies, a Miss
Witt, of Farmer, and Miss May
Daley of this city, which was aired
in the police court late Tuesday
afternoon, which resulted in Miss
Daley being placed under peace bonds
of 5000.
The evidence that was submitted
in police court vas to the effect..that
Miss Witt came over from Farmer
and called at the Olney house to see
a gentleman friend, and while they
were talking In the hallway Miss
Daley appeared on the scene and
gave Miss Witt to understand that
she did not approve of her coming
to the house and having anything to
say to her gentleman friend. One
word lead on to another until the
language became quite torrid and
the names the young ladies applied
to each other would not look we'll in
print. Miss Daley took a smash at
the Witt girl by Way of emphasizing
her. remarks.
The %belligerent young ladies we're
finally sufficiently tanned as to be
conducted to an adjoining room.
where an effort was made to settle
the difficulty. In some way during
the curse of the conversation, which
again resumed something of a high
state of excitement, a gun play was
started. Miss Daley asked for a gun
and said that she wanted to put the
finishing touches on the Witt girl,
but she didn't get possession Of the
weapon.
Miss Witt, believing that her life
was in danger, wore out a warrant
for the arrest of Miss Daley and they
appeared in court before Justice Her.
bert, where. the above facts were
substantially related by the wit
nesses. ta
After listening to the evidence the
court thought that there we're
sufficient grounds to place Miss Daley
Under peace bonds, which will hold
good until the next term Of court
In April.

PROGRESSIVE METHoDIsTs
Something in Detail of the Growth Of
the Church in sonth Dakota
and Financial Condition.

The minutes of the proceedings of
the Dakota Conference OF the Metho-
dist Episcopal church have just been
issued in book form showing what
was accomplished at the SESSION held
at Vermillion Oct. 1921. The session
Was the most successful held in the
twentg-tlmee years that the confer
ence was organized. the first meet
ing being held at Yankton. in 1880,
when Bishop Warren presided. At
that time there were but 1,05O men,
bers OF the conference, aud each
year there was a gain in membership
until 1889, when 1t was 10, 1926. The
year following it fell over 500 and
did not get back to tine 10, 900 mark
until 1894. The year following the
membership dropped 500 and kept
losing until 1898 when the number
again went to lO.429, since which
year the members have been increas-
Ing steadily every year until at the
present time the numbers reach
Ii, 402, increasing .636 in the past
year.
One OF the strong features of the
Conference is the missionary work
and the appropriations made for that
part of the religious work amounts
to $1,000. In the way of giving to
educational projects the Conference
Of ministers and the lay delegates
exhibited the greatest amount of
self denial. When the condition of
Dakota Wesleyan University was set
before both branches Of che Confer
ence that 1t was necessary to raise a
certain amountof money in order to
secure the 5000 that Andrew
Carnegie had offered as the last
payment on the 800, 600 endowment
fund, the giving was exceedingly
generous, the ministers pledglng
over $1,000, and the lay delegates
raising in their meeting over sl8, 900,
when the ambition of that institu-
tion was realized. AS a further aid
to Dakota Wesleyan each year each
district contributes a certain amount
toward the institution and in maxi
ing his report for the collections Of
l906-l907, President Nicholson stated
1hat for the five districts and out
side contributions this sun amounted
to 1882, 545. 40.
The statistics of the church are
interesting and show a splendid
growth and development along all
lines. The grand total of members
is 1854, with 100 probationers;
there were 954 baptisms; there are
242 Sunday schools, with 2,1S6 Of
ficers and teachers and 1928
scholars; there are 1911 churches, an
increase of IL over last year. the

WHAT MONEY is.

Bait for the matrimonial hook.
The most effective substitute for
brains.
Money is the most difficult root to
cultivate.
That which women look for while
men sleep.
Money is the loudest sound in the
voice of life.
What the rich don't need and the
poor don't get.
A curse to some that have it and
curse to all that haven't.
A provider for everything but happi-
ness, passport to everywhere but
heaven.
The one thing that makes crooked
things look straight and straight things
crooked.
That which speaks language We
can all understand. but in which so
few are able to converse.
