ALLEGED THAT HE FORCED NE
GRO MAN AND WIFE, WHO HAD
LEFT HIS CAMP FOR FLORIDA

Thomas GrahaR q white man, who
is engaged in the naval stores bust
ness in Alabama just across the state

turn TO their place in Alabama.
The Arrest.

Large Expenditure of Money.

"The representatives of the North
western road" says Pierre correspon,
dent to the Sioux Falls Press, Gin this
city at conference meeting with the
city council authoritatively announced
that the company would expend $780,
600 in this city this year in improve
ments other than those of new track
age and the bridge work. A new de-
pot is to be built at cost Of $125O0O,
which one of the representatives said
was to be the finest structure of its
kind in the state. The matter of the
location Of this structure is one which
is yet kept from the public, bnt while
there are several sites, one of which is
certain to be used, the general senti-
ment appears to be that it will be not
far from the location of the present
building used for that purpose, but. Jon
the new tracks farther to the north.
The rest of the amount will be expend-
ed for shops, round house and coal
house, which will be located on the
grounds purchased by the company
last year, near the government Indian
school, in East Pierre.
With this expenditure and that on the
bridge, and track construction the
Northwestern road will put into circu.
lation 100000 for the benefit of the
city this summer, large amount of
which will be in payment for labor.
Besides this, fully 100000 will be
put into the work at the state capital
and large amount will be required for
the private buildings to be erected this
year, meaning a prosperous one for
