BELLE FOURCHE SHIPS
1000 HEAD OF CATTLE

Belle Fourche, s. D., Dee. 4.-Cattle
shipments from this point for the sea-
son OF 1907 are practically over, al
though a few cars will straggle out
from now on to the first of the
coming year.
Contrary to expectations, the season
has been a particularly successful one.
Notwithstanding the sudden drop in the
price of cattle which came with the
first approach OF N stringency
and curtailed shipments According to
the estimates of both the Northwestern
railroad and cattlemen. something like
6 5000 head of stock were shipped from
this point this year
Belle Fourche has always a the
reputation of being the largest single
cattle shipping point in the world. but
records of other localities will probably
equal 1t this year In all about l.SO0
cars of cattle, sheep and horses were
sent from here to eastern markets,
the majority being cattle for beef pur-
poses. Most OF 1t went to Omaha n
Chicago where in former years Sioux
City got a large share. Returns show
that previous TO the slump on the mar
ket. steers this year brought from 50
10 $40 per head net over last years
prices and resulted in many more cat
tie being shipped than was expected.
There are still more cattle on the
range for the winter than last year, n
these will be ready for shipment In
1908.

INNOCENT BYSTANDER
GOT HIT THREE TIMES,

Vermillion, S. D., Dec. 10.-Arthurf
Eldridge, son of Mr.. and Mrs. EldridgeS
Of this city, was the victim of a ser,
,ous accident at Hill City, in the Black
Hills, last Thursday evening. He re-
:eived three bullets in his body, one
IN each thigh and the third in his leg.
II is not thought he is dangerously
wounded, though one can never tell III
q case of that kind.
Eldridge is a freight conductor on
the Burlington road, and his train was
tied up at Hill City for a short time
awaiting orders. While standing out
on the street in front of the saloon, he
heard a commotion going on inside,
and, curious to learn the trouble, start
ed into the booZe dispensary. He had
barely closed the doc behind him
when three shots rang out in quick
succession, and the freight conductor
proved the target for all three OF thet
leaden missiles. Two gamblers were
fighting over a game of cards and one
of them whipped out an automatic re-
volver and began shooting, though his
aim was very poor
Eldridge was taken at once to the
hospital at Lead, and the gambler was
arrested.

PLAINTIFFS WIN NINE;
COURT REBUkES DEFENDANT

Rapid City, S. D., Dec 10.-With "a
scathing rebuke to the defendant whose
position the court held was deception
and falsehool by his own admission on
the stand, Circuit Judge Rice decided
the suit for possession OF the Gertie tin
mine, near Hill City, in favor OF the
plaintiffs, +. G. Johnson and the Ger
tie Tin Mining company, and against
the defendant, w. L. Meyer, OF Phila-
delphia, on all issues. Both sides
claimed heavy damages, which were
disallowed, the plaintiffs being given
full title to the property.
Meyer had asked 81 1000, 900 damages
for being inveigled into an alleged mis-
represented investment and SIS, 900
o for money he claimed to have
spent for machinery. The machinery
was awarded to the plaintiffs, but their
claim for $4,000 damages for alleged
mismanagement Of the property by
Meyer while he operated 1t under lease
was not allowed, as the contract has
not yet expired.
The feature of the decision was the
courts assertion Of bad faith on they

Sioux Falls Engineer Clashes
With Farmer While on
Hunting Expedition.

Sioux Falls. S. D., Dec. 12.-Chris An
nerson, formerly engineer at the plant
OF a Sioux Falls produce company, lies
seriously wounded in a local hospital
as the result of a personal encounter
with Fritz Preuss, a we'll known farmer
residing in Mapleton township, north or
Sioux Falls.
Preuss is under arrest on the charge
OF assault with a dangerous weapon,
which is a p~enitentiary offense. The
stories OF the injured man n the &C
cused farmer differ widely. Preuss
claims that when he demonstrated
with Anderson for t~respassing upon his
land and for the alleged killing Of one
of the tame chickens on the Preuss
place, Anderson threatened to Kill him,
and that when Anderson drew on his
coat and started for him. he drew the
knife In self-defense.
Anderson, OF the other hand, claims
that while hunting with other Sioux
Falls men he inadvertently trespassed
upon the land of Preuss n was or
dered off by the farmer. According 10
Anderson's story the farmer followed
him 20 the boundary OF the farm and
%Viciously abused him, finally calling
him vile names, when Anderson drew
off his coat preparatory TO engaging IN
a istic mill with Preuss.
Anderson alleges that without warn
ing Preuss drew a knife and made a
vicious lunge at him, the blow laying
the bone of his arm bare from the
shoulder to the elbow.
