WILD
''''''''''' III IKE BEASTS
Humane Agent to Care for Tots Re-
ported in Frightful State of
Neglect.

Cheyenne, Wyo.- State Agent H.
D. Cough, of the Humane society
will soon go to the Powder river
country, in the central part of the
state, where it is reported four chill
dren of a ranchman, the eldest II
years of age, have been neglected
and permitted to run wild, with the
result that they cannot speak an in
telligent language, but have evolved
a gutteral form of communication of
their own. If the case is found as
represented, the children will be
taken from their parents and will
be sent to the South Dakota Orphans
home, to which all Wyoming Or
phans are consigned.
The Wyoming Humane society has
broken up and chased from the
state a band of Greek section la
borers at Salt Wells, who made a
practice Of trapping gophers, soak,
ing them in oil, setting them or
fire and then watching the frantic
struggles of the agonized animals
Three of the gang were arrested ant
fined $40 and costs each, and the
remainder fled from the state, fear
ing q visitation from an outraged
mob.

WEALTH Of
S6GTH DAKOTA
VALUATION OF PROPERTY WILL
REACH $500, 10000
An Increase Over Last Year of %
Per Cen Which Equals
$1S,OOO,OOO

Pierre, S. D.-With general assess
ments of the state practically doubled
in the past ten years; railway prop
erty doubled; and other corporate
property increased many fold in
that time, the total assessment of
the state will be shown to be about
$3.50, GOO, 900 when the state assess
ment board completes its work this
year.
The past week has been devoted
to railroads, and with the law
as a basis the exact figures will not
be compiled for several days yet, but
the increase will be somewhere be-
assessment of last year on that class
of property. bringing the total some
where near SIS. 900 900.
The counties have returned an in
crease of about thirty million dol
lars over last year on general prop
erty when the total was left at S206.-
0OO, 900 and other corporate prop
erty will bring up the total close to
the figure named.
With such an assessment it will
hardly be necessary to make a 4 mill
levy, as the regular 2 mills will
make a revenu OF a half million dol
lars, and with the added IL mills
voted for a Irvine plant fund the
4 mills will be somewhat burden
some, and the treasury will receive
enough from the two mills that
a small additional levy ought to meet
all claims.
At the time of the trip of Presi-
dent Hughitt of the Northwestern

tween Fort Pierre and Rapid City. it
was decided to extend the accommo-
dation service from Phillip to Rapid
City on the 18th and put on a regu-
lar passenger service the first of Sep
TENDER. 1t is hoped that a through
service from the eastern part of the
state can be put on early in October
but that depends upon progress on
the new bridge. Just what the
through service will be is not known
but it is rumored that it will be foul
through trains each way every day

Denver, Colo, August 9-What is

of June. 1901. was eXhumed yester-
day near the Alta mill, near Gold

repudiated and in which he is sup

with the places where the bodies of
w. j. Barney and Wesley Smith, a
shift Joss of the Liberty Bell mine,
were buried. Adams was brought
down here by General Wells to point
out the graves of the missing men.
| When Wells and Adams went up in
to the Gold King basin there was
more snow on the ground than had
been anticipated and several years
having elapsed since the body had
been buried, Adams was unable to
determine exactly where the grave
was. He showed General Wells the
place according to the best of his
recollection. Adams evidently had

ANTI-JAPANESE RIOT.
Drunken Man Starts Trouble at San
Francisco.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. October 10
Scores of white mon were battered and
ten or more japanese inJured-two of them
serously-in another anti-Jaoanese riot.
The scene Of the trouble, restaurant and
laundry, is complete wreck. The trou-
BILE was occasioned by Joseph King, an
intoxicated logger, who crashed into the
window of the laundry conducted by
Umke Kubo, at i22 Fell street. The pro-
prietor and his assistants dragged King
into a rear room where a young Japanese
stood guard, armed with a section of gas
pipe, while the other Japanese hurried to
summon the police.
Three intoxicated companions of King
called on other whites for aid. and there
followed a combined attack on the laun-
dry, stones and clubs being used. The
street soon was filed by a large crowd,
and dozen Japanese on the inside sought
to repel the invaders.
The police soon arrived in an automo-
bile, and the riot call which was sounded
brought strong reinforcements. The po-
lice charged the crowd with clubs and
many were hit. After the battle was over
King was found asleep in the rear room
innocent of the trouble he had caused.
