ANTHRAX KILLS -

Who was in Hudson for a day or two
after having investigated conditions in
The farm region near here In the per-
'ormance of his duties as one of the
state sheep inspectors. reports that in
The vicinity OF Worthing there Is quite
an epidemic Of anthrax among the cat
lie and swine. and that one
farmer lost a dozen or more
lead of cattle out Of his herd
from this dread disease. DR.. Blackwell
states the disease is caused by a germ,
and that cattle in low, wet pastures are
largely afflicted with the disease. He
states that several cases also
been reported to him from the vi.
entity of the town of Davis. and that a
:armer residing in Canton township had
!ost several head of cattle as the result
1f the animals being attacked by an.
shrax. Strenuous efforts are being
made by the state and county author
ties to prevent the spread of the dis.
ease beyond the localities where it hal
appeared.

BUILT BARRICADE
THEN ROBBED BANK

Ferney, s. D., Sept. 26.-The methods
used by the gang of bank blowers who
recently operated here and at Leola,
occurring nearly $1,000, remind many
south Dakotans of the Jesse James
gang. ..r
In this town they built an eight foot
pa~rrlcade OF beer cases in front Of
the vault of the bank. Outside of
the bank they constructed another
barricade In the form of an apex, while
IN the street was still another beer
case protection. An armed man stood
behind each Of the two barbados out
side OF the bank, making 1t well nigh
impossible for any n to hit him, and
at the same time giving him excellent
opportunity to pick off anyone who got
within range.
Two men with guns were also sta
uoned at the extreme edges of town,
to keep back any inquisitive persons
who might drive in. The rest of the
gang operated on the safe or else
warned the neighbors to keep inside.
Mr. FlelSchman, a merchant Of the
town and a director in the bank,
roomed across the street over a hard
ware store. On hearing the rumpus
outside he got up and lit a lamp and
looked out Of the window. He was
told to dowse his glim, a shot being
hred to hasten his action. which
PaSsSu uiiucf hIs pea. Ine am went
u and stayed out. The citizens OF
Ferncy did not notify the outside
world until 7 o'clock the next morn
Ing, when they telephoned the news
to Groton. Their thoughtfulness
must certainly be appreciated by the
robbers.
AT Leola, W. r. Crawford occu-
pied n back room in the bank for
sleeping quarters. When the vault
was blown at that place the shock
threw MIN o u of bed. and he start
ed out 'front.' TO make an investiga-
tor. When tho, robbers saw him
they pointed their revolvers at him
and limited hat bod would be a good
place. Mr.. Crawford was of the
same turn os mind. and he fell into
a deep sleep that he did not
wake up until daylight was we'll ad.
vanced.

MONEY BURIED BY
BANDITS UMEARTHED

Frankfort, s. D.. Oct. 1.-The au-
thorities have as yet been unable to Sc
cure sufficient evidence to warrant ar
rests in connection with the recent rob-
berry OF a Frankfort bank by a band
Of several cracksmen. The robbers es-
capped with about $1,000 of the banks
funds. but a part of this now has been
recovered.
At a point a few miles south of town
some $275 In mutilated currency that
had been buried by the thieves was
.unearthed. These abandoned bills were
badly torn when they were extracted
by the robbers from the bank safe, and
II doubtless was deemed too risky to
retain the torn bills and endeavor to
circulate them.
Two large r~evolvers, supposed to have
belonged to the men who robbed the
bank, also were found buried near the
mutilated money.
The authorities fear that the bandits
have made their escape from the state,
and that they now are devoting their
to robbing banks and post
offices In North Dakota, where such
robberfes have been frequent since the
robbery OF the Frankfort bank and the
Of the robbers from
South Dakota.

TO RESIST
RATE REDUCTIONS

Rapid City. s. D., Oct. 2.-It is
asserted in railroad quarters that all
three of h roads entering here will
violently oppose n effort of the state
railroad commission, which meets Oc7
tober 15, to reduce the existing freight
rates to h points west OF the Mis-.

require years for the railroad compan-,
les to take in enough from freight and
passenger traffic combined, to repay
them for the cost of building into the
Hills and maintaining their lines in
this section. .'
Nevertheless, the Commercial clubs
OF each town are preparing their lists
grievance and evidence to show dis
elimination In rates here, while the
Northwestern will present for the first

Sioux Falls, s. D., Oct. 1.-The
Sioux Ctty-Sioux Falls rate case. which

is the first case of the kind to be de.
cided by a United States court in which

lon OF Judge Garland one of the ut
most Importance. =
s The fact that the case may be ap.
pealed and carried up as a test case
SO that the highest court in the land
can pass upon the important questions
involved adds to its Importance.
Nearly sixteen typewriter pages are
covered by the complete decision. and

great bearing on the decision of Judge
Garland. The following extracts are
taken from the decision:

1T results from the foregoing re-
marks that 1t is the opinion of this
court hat the court has Jurisdiction of

a court OF the United States and as a
court OF equity. Coming to the merits
the court Is prohibited from going INTO
an investigation of the lawfulness of
the proposed rate complained of. for
the reason that II has not been asked
10 do that and the case has not been
