COURT APPEAL
Attorneys at South Dakota Rats
Hearing Say That Reduction
Means Confiscation.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 19.-Practi-
cally every railroad company with
lines in South Dakota has one or more
representatives present at the ad-
journed hearing in the matter of re-
,duction OF the passenger rate in South
Dakota from 3 to 2ta cents per mile,
which resumed here today before the
istate board of railroad commissioners.
The full board, consisting of ID. II.
Smith, Miller; Dr. w. q. Smith, Stur-
Igis, and Geo. Rice, of Flandreau, was
present TO conduct the hearing.
The arguments OF the railroad rep
resentatives Will continue the greater
part OF tomorrow and hen the matter
will be taken under advisement by the
commissioners. The railroad
representatives are stoutly opposing
the proposed reduction. They argued
in substance that the reduction in pas
senger rates 10 2h cents would be vir-
.tually confiscation OF the property of
the railroads Of the state of South Da-
.sota. they further intimated that the
courts would be appealed to in the
event the railroad commissioners or
dered a reduced rate as "A result OF tho
present hearing.

TOO MANY THIRST
PAfL0RS IN SIOUX
FALLS; WILL REDUCE
Balloon War Grows Bitter and
Number Of Places May Be
Cut to Twenty.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. IA move
ment, which it is alleged has been in
augurated by Mayor Pillsbury, which
has for its alleged object the reduction
of the number OF saloons in Sioux Falls
to twenty, or one for each 500 in habi-
tants, has greatly agitated the local
saloon men.
Should an attempt be MADE TO carry
out the plan of reducing the number
of saloons it is probable the matter
Will be carried into the courts for adj
justment and to determine whether or
rot the city council has the power TO
reduce the number of saloons below the
limit fixed by the state law.
Thirty-three saloons are at present
doing business in Sioux Falls. II IS
contended by those who favor the re-
duction in number that with SO many
saloons engaged in business the field is
not large enough for the saloon men
20 conduct their places according to law
and make a profit. This state of af-
fairs, it is claimed. is an encourage
ment TO the more reckless saloon men
TO sell liquor to minors and GrunEards
and operate their places Of business
after hours and on Sundays from the
back doors.

HANSEN PRODUCES
NEW FRUIT FOR
SOUTH DAkOTANS
Noted Horticulturist Is Also De-
horning the Raspberry and
Rose Bushes.

Pierre, S D., Sept. 1S.-Professor
Hansen, the Luther Burbank OF south
Dakota, has produced a cross between
the Sioux sand cherry and the Call
fornia blue plum, which he deems a
perfect fruit and one which he believes
will become immensely popular. This is
the first year it has fruited and the
fruit has all of the d~eliciousness of the
blue plum together with the spicy
out any OF the acidity of the latter. He
has but a few plants OF this cross, but
is preparing TO prC@agate the largest
number possible and it is his opinion
that a few years hence the gardens Of
the state can be provided with the
long sought South Dakota fruit.
, Professor Hansen has many other
crosses with the sand cherry which are
promising, particularly one with the
giant Chinese plum, but they have not
yet been brought TO perfection. The
way to the propagation of "a line OF
hardy domestic fruits adapted to South
Dakota conditions is q long and tedious
one, but Mr.. Hansen is more encour-
aSeu IMAM ever before IN his EFFORTS II
believes he already has Strawberries,
raspberries, currants and three cher
ries which will stand up under the Sc
verest tests of the South Dakota eli
mate and is making fine progress with
other fruits. He says 1t is his purpose
to secure fruits which will go without
crutches" and he burns and destroys
every variety which will not go through
the seVerest winter without covering.
Thornless Rose Bushes.
Modern horticulture is an instrument
for the extension of morality. Professor
Hansen is dehorning the raspberry
bush, which, when accomplished. will
certainly vastly reduce the sum OF pro-
family expended In the garden. By the
way, what sense is there in leaving
the spines to grow upon r~aspberries.
g~ooseberries and rose bushes under do
nestle culture? In the wild state the
SPRINGS protected the species and saved
them from destruction and possible ex-
tlnction. Thus nature protects her
choicest productions. But under do
nestle culture the spines are not re-
CURED and should be bred off. This
is the work of the scientific horticul-
turist, and a few years hence we may
expect TO have thornless roses and
berry bushes.

BANDITS TERRORIlE
TOWN, WRECK BANK,
AND ESCAPE; $4,000
EoIdcst Bank Robbery in Years
ct Fcrney, S. D., StartIes
Entire State.

Aberdeen, S. D., Sept. 17.-Bandits
iaided the town OF Ferney, this county,
tate last night, broke into the First
State bank, wrecked the safe and got
away with $4,000.
The robbery was one of the boldest
ever perpetrated in his secoion Of the
country. At least six men were in the
gang who, finding three men in the
blacksmith shop, warned them not to
move, and then visited three or four
houses where lights were burning and
commanded the occupants to extin-
guish the lights and TO remain in doors.
BY this time the greatest excitement
prevailed and a few minutes later the
people were terrorized 10y hearing an
explosion at the bank.
The bandits worked nearly two hours
before making their escape with the
booty. There is absolutely no clue and
the authorities are working In the
lark.
This is the fourth bank robbery in
this vicinity in the past few weeks be-
iieved to ave been worked by the
same rang. Every town Of this and
northwestern counties are on the look
cut.

MAY
AID RAkCHMEN TO
E~XTE2MINATE WOLVES

Custer, s.. D., Sept. 19.-If the gov
eminent adopts the plan of the ranch
ers living in the western part Of Gus
ter county, an expert trapper will soon
be employed to protect the many flocks
and droves Of cattle in that section,
from the depreciation of wolves. Wolves
in the open country between here and
Newcastle, Wyo, nave always been
numerous blu never before nave their
visits to the ranches been so disaster
Gus as during the past summer when
the ranchers have lost, it is said, some
thing like II per of their fiocks
and cattle.
The wolves are large buffalo wolves,
a couple of which can easily ham,
string a steer, and they seem so fas-
tidious in their tastes that they never
come back a second night to finish up
the killing of the night before but al
ways select another victim. The state,
county and stockgrowers' association
have all offered bounties ~aggregating
$40 per head, yet few of the wolves
have been killed this year.
When the ranchers appealed to Su-
pervisor J.. +. Smith OF the Black Hills
forest reserve, he in turn asked the
forestry department to employ Howard
Wicker, an expert, to Thin out the
wolves.

OF SIOUX FALLS Is
GIVEN A SENSATION

other sensation yesterday when action
was begun in the circuit court by At
tolney John King, of this city, repre-
senting Mrs. Carrie f. Goltra, for the
annulment of a divorce granted her
husband, Judson E. Goltra.
Since securing his divorce IN this city

ter, OF st. Johns, Mich. She accom-
panied him back to South Dakota and

not for a period Of six months next

tended residence OF the said Judson f.
Goltra in South Dakota was a mere

intended to be only temporary; tina the
said Goltra never intended to remain In
the state Of South Dakota for a period
exceeding three months and as a mat
ter Of fact his residence within the
state of South Dakota extended over a
period of but siXty-six days prior TO
the commencement OF said action for
divorce; wherefore the plaintiff, Carrie
+. Goltra, AYERS that the court was
without jurisdiction TO render the said
judgment of divorce, hat the said
judgment is void"
1t is charged that on November IA,
1903, exactly n week after securing
the divorce in Sioux Falls, Goltra, at
st. John, Mich, In an affidavit for a
license TO marry, made an oath before
the clerk of Clinton county, Mich, that
he was then a resident Of Chicago, III.

In possession of the first Mrs. Goltra
and will be made a part OF her case

ceedings that Goltra caused the for
gerry OF letters purporting to have been

tinue 10 live with him, these alleged
forged letters being presented by him
