BANDITS HOLD Up
Town AND ROB BANK
SEVEN MEN TERRORlZE PEOPLE

NO GLUE.
BANK LOOTED OF OVER $1,000

Canova, S. D., Nov. 9.-Driving back
all corners at the points Of their re-
%volvers, terrorizing the whole town
by indiscriminate firing and even en-
terlng houses to warn the inmates to
stay under or be shot down, sew
en- armed bandits hold up the entire
population of Canova at 2 o'clock yes
terday morning, robbed the State bank
OF something over $4,000 and escaped.
Everything of value was taken from
the bank with the exception Of $1,000
which the cashier had put in a private
hiding place. The local hotel across
the streets from the bank was literally
riddled with bullets, and the banks
rooms are all but ruined as a result of
the dynamiting of the safe.
There is no clue to the identity Of
the robbers or to the direction In
which they fed.
Hold Up Whole Town.
A little before 2 o'clock yesterday
morning some belated citizens were
met in the streets by armed men and
were ordered to hurry at once to their
homes. Lights we're burning in some
Of the houses and these were entered
by the men, who ordered that all
lights be extinguished and that the in
mates remain where they were, the
orders being backed by a flourishing of
weapons.
About an hour after the first warn
ings were given by the men an explo-
sion from the bank building told the
reason for the mems actions. The
Eoise of the dynamite aroused the
guests in the hotel, and several of
them rushed into the street, where
they were confronted by the muzzles
of the bandits guns and ordered back
to shelter. The orders were followed
by a fusillade of bullets, and the hos
telry was put In a state of siege by
continued firing from the direction of
the bank.
1t vas almost daylight before any
one ventured to enter the streets, and
by that time the robbery had been &C
complished and the men who commit
ted it had disappeared.
Citizens Furnish Funds.
BY the time the bank should have
opened this morning it was generally
known that all the money in the insti-
tuition, with the exception of 81, 900.
had been taken by the bandits, and
there appeared to be no prospect that
the days business could be carried
on, but as soon as the conditions be.
came known the business men of the
place offered to furnish enough funds
to help the institution through the
day, and with the money thus provided
the bank was opened at the usual time
and had no difficulty in meeting all de-
mands.
The notice of the robbery was sent
throughout the state, but up to late
last night no word had been received
that gave a definite clue to the direc-
ton taken by the robbers.

FREIGHT RATES NOT TOUCHED
West OF River Freiaht Rates Continued Until Later-All Car
SHORTAGE Cases before the State railroad Commits
sion Are Closed.

The state board Of railroad commits
sioners has concluded the work Of
holding its regular monthly meeting
at the headquarters of the commission
in Sioux Falls.
1t was expected in some quarters
that IT,, matter Of promulgating a new
schedule of freight rates for that por-
ton of South Dakota lying west Of the
Missouri river would be taken up at
the meeting which has just closed, but
1t was decided to continue final action
for further investigation. Some testi-
mony was taken by the board on the
freight rate question in Western South
Dakota at the meeting of the board
which was held at Rapid City during
October.
complaints in reference to the short
age of cars at various points in South
Dakota have been filed with the rail.
road commissioners, but recently these
complaints had been fewer in number
and no new complaints had been filed
during the past few days. All the cases
were .osed by the board during the
the information received by the board
was to the effect that an ample num-
Der Of cars nov were being supplied
to keep moving the quantity Of grain
which is being marketed during the
financial stringency.
The board decided to call a hearing
in the matter of the application OF
Steele Bros, formerly Of Yale, for the
granting Of an elevator site on the
right of-way Of the Great Northern
Railroad company at Shsh1eld, north Of
Huron. The hearing will be held at
Sheffield on Nov. IL, at 10 o'clock in
the morning.
Several complaints had been made
to the board in reference to coal rates
from the coal fields in Wyoming to
towns west of the Missouri river in
South Dakota. Since the filing of the
complaints a reduced schedule of coal
rates has been put into effect by the
railroads which do the hauling, and
this new rate appears fairly satisfac-
tory to the residents of Western
South Dakota who secure their sup
plies of coal from Wyoming.
The Farmers Cooperative Society Of
Sisseton recently filed with the rail
road commissioners a petition asking
the aid of the commissioners in secur-
ing the construction by the Milwau-
kee company of a side track to the ell
evator of the society at Sisseton. The
petition was considered at the meet
ing, and the board has made a demand
upon the Milwaukee company to con
struct a sidetrack within twenty days.
If the demand is not complied with the
board will call a meeting in the mat
ter.
The case of E. w. Shadewald of
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1907-11-15

Toronto, which had been before the
board for some weeks, finally has
been closed by the board. Shadewald
asked the aid of the board in securing
the construction of a sidetrack to his
mill and elevator at Toronto, and in
accordance with his petition the
N~"rd held a hearing at Toronto. Tb1
board was able to bring about an Id
justment of the difficulty between
Shadewald and the railroad company,
with the result that both sides in the
controversy nov have officially ad-
vised the board that the desired side
track has been constructed.
Complaint was made to the board a
few weeks ago in reference to the lack
OF feeding and watering accommoda-
tions in the yards of the Milwaukee
Railroad company at Westport, Brown
county. The board called the atten-
ton Of the railroad company to the
nature Of the complaint, with the re-
suit that during the meeting of the
board, w. H. Stanley, secretary of the
board, read a letter from an official OF
the railroad stating that authority had
been given for the immediate improve
ment of the watering and feeding IA
cilities at Westport.
Some weeks ago complaint was
made to the board in reference to
the alleged insecurity of the roadbed
of the Missouri River & Northwestern
railroad, better known as the Crouch
Line" extending from Rapid City to
Mystic, in the Black Hills, it being al
legged that the road was unsafe for the
transportation Of passengers ana
freight.
While in the Black Hills recently
the members Of the board Of railroad
commissioners made a personal in.
spection. C. D. Crouch, president Of
the road, has been officially advised
by the board to the effect that the
work already done is sufficiently Sc

purposes.

To test the diversion dam Of the
government irrigation scheme near
Belle Fourche, Contractor Robinson
opened the sluice gates and permit
ted the water in both the Belle
Fourche and Redwater rivers to back
up and over the lowlands to a depth
Of several feet.
The dam is about completed, and the
trial was made to ascertain If it was
perfect. The test showed the work
true. Water ROSE to the 40O-foot spill
way and ran over at the rate Of 200
second feet per hour, showing that
there is now stored above the dam
about SO, 900 second feet. The motor
boats were able to run much farther
up the river, and this will be an as
sured feature Of Belle Fourche water

FIRE WIPES OUT FEED.
Ranchmen Suffer Pad Loss in South
Dakota.

A terrific prairie fire, driven by a
high wind, burned through central
Sully county Wednesday, clearing a
strip about six miles wide and many
miles in length before it was finally
subdued in the vicinity of Blunt. At
n time it was thought that the town
of Onida would suffer, but the popula-
1ion turned out and fought the fire.
Tie loss was confined principally to
hay, of which thousands of tons were
burned, many of the smaller ranches
being left at the beginning of winter
without a thing to feed their stock.
Another fire about eight miles east
of Pierre set fire to a small bridge on
the North-W Western road, and the
west-bound train did not get to Pierre.
Transfer of passengers, mail and ex-
press, had to be made.

Bus Route Will Be Established in
Lieu of Teachers,

To consolidate many of the small
country schools at some central point,
and then to collect the scholars daily
by means of a bus route, is the plan
of the county superintendent, Miss
Margaret Brown. of Sturgis. Miss
Brown has been at her wits end to
supply teachers this year for a num-
Der of the schools. The same scarcity
that prevails in other sections east
OF here has been felt in this vicinity,
and there are twelve schools in the
northern part of Meade county where
no teacher has been found. Miss
Brown has received the support of
the members of several school boards.
and is now arranging the details of
her plan, which she hopes to put in
operation before many weeks.

From the time when the American

English king, forbidden under heavy
penalties to manufacture goods and
build commerce, down to this present
day, when u great nation has be-
come the commercial and industrial
mistress of the world and the peace ar

been the established custom at this

Has UnIueky Number Of Buildings and
Must Be Moved.

Must Be Moved.
That a town could not survive the
hoodoo of having thirteen buildings
within it's limits is illustrated by the
experience of the little town of Dolph,
which is situated in the extreme south
ern part Of Hamlin county, north OF
Sioux Falls. The construction Of the
South Dakota Central railroad through
Hamlin county from Sioux Falls to
Watertown has sounded the death
knell of Dolph. The railroad missed
the town by several miles, the nearest
new town on the railroad being Nor
den. Dolph has exactly thirteen build
ings, and it is believed by some of the
more superstitious residents to have
had something to do with the town
going out of existence. The thirteen
buildings will all be moved, the ma
iority of them to Nordeen, while he
remainder will be placed or wheels
and hauled to Hayti, another new
town on the new railroad north OF
Norden.
