BANDITS HOLD UP
TOWN AND ROB BANK
SEVEN MEN TERRoRlzE PEOPLE
OF CANOVA, S. D.-LEAVE
NO GLUE.
BANK LOOTED OF OVER $4,000

Canova, S. D., Nov. 9.-Driving back
all corners at the points of their re-
%volvers, terrorizing the whole town
by indiscriminate firing and eve en-
tering houses to warn the inmates to
stay under cover or he 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 we're
met in the streets by armed men and
we're ordered to hurry at once to their
homes. Lights were 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 flou1shing 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
noise 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 was almost daylight before any
n ventured to enter the streets, and
by that time the robbery had been ac-
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 $1,000.
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.

FINDS LITTLE GOLD.
state School Assayer Reports on
"Strike" Near Huron.

Regarding the discovery Of gold
and silver on the Col. Edward Sterling
farm, known as the Sunfower ranch,
two miles north of Huron, and now
owned by E. T. stoner, the assayer at
the state school of mines reports that
the sand shows .O4 ounces of gold to
a ton and % ounces of silver to a
ton, there being so worth of gold and
IA worth of silver in a ton, a total
value of "a a ton for the sand and
gravel found on the farm. The report
is not sufficient to guarantee Mr..
Stoner in declaring that he has a gold
mine, but he has planned for the ex-
animation of the ground by an expert
mining engineer, and Upon his report
depends further Investigation. Sand
similar to that found on Mr.. Stoner's
place has been found at various points
along the Jim river, but after sinking
a number of holes, developments were
not sufficient to guarantee further in
vestigation.

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
NoHrd held a hearing at Toronto. The
board was able to bring about an adj
justment Of the difficulty betweeni
S%hadewald and the railroad company.
with the result that both sides in the
controversy now 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-
tons in the yards of the Milwaukee
Railroad company at Westport, Brown
county. The board called the atten-
ton of tho 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 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:.' AZ:
Some weeks ago:eomplaint was
made to. the board in reference to
the alleged insecui1tyy!:of the roadbed
of the Missouri River s., 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 and
freight. - fi'e.
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
cure for all ordinary transportation
purposes.

FREIGHT RATES NOT TOUCHED
West OF River Freight Rates Continued Until Later-Al 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 IL matter of promulgating a new
schedule Of freight rates for that por-
ton of South Dakota lying west of the
the meeting which has just closed, but
it 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.
During the past month numerous
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
We're closed by the board during, the
meeting which has just been held, as
the information received, by the board
was to the effect that" an ample num-
Der Of cars now 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
r~ight-of-way Of the Great Northern
Railroad company at Shsfield, 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.

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 400-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 $4,000 second feet. The motor

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
has received the support of
the members of several school boards.
and is now arranging the details of
plan, which she hopes to put j IN
operation before many weeks.

10 is TOWNS HooDoo.
Has Unlucky Number Of Buildings and
Must Be Moved.

That a town could not survive the
hoodoo of having thirteen buildings
within its 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
jority of them to Nordeen, while the
remainder will be placed on wheels
and hauled to Hayti, another new
town on the new railroad north OF
Norden.

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

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
one time it was thought that the town
of Onida would suffer, but the popula-
ton turned out and fought the fire.
The 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 IN
the Northwestern road, and the
w%est-bound train did not get to Pierre.
Transfer of passengers, mail and ex-
press. had to be made.

TEACHERS PAPERS LOST.
One County Fails to Report on Ex-
amjnatjonS.

The papers of the October teachers
examination have all been passed
upon with the exception of those from
Walworth county, which appear to
have teen lost in transit, as they have
not yet reached the office of the SUI
perintendent of instruction. Out Of
those received over SO per cent were
granted certificates, there being 430
successful ones in 730 applications.
This list will assist in reducing the
teacher famine, but some of the coun-
ties which were short on teachers have
been able to supply most OF their
schools by increasing wages, and the
shortage is not as serious as it was
a month ago.
