SOUTH PASADENA HOME
IS SOLD FOR $4,000

Eastern Buyers-Many Big
Sales viii Soon Be
Made

One of the finest residences in South
Pasadena has changed hands, being
the property of Jonathan S. Dodge,
sold to William Chapman of Spokane
for $4,000. The property is located at
the southwest corner of Fair oaks
avenue and Monterey road, compris-
ing a frontage of III feet on Fair Oaks
avenue, with a depth of 235 feet.
1t is improved with a tWelVe-room
house which is practically new, having
been completed less than two years
ago. The grounds, which contain sew
eral large live oaks, are highly i'm
proved with ornamental trees, shrubs,
lawns and flowers.
The deal was in the nature of an eX-
change, Dodge taking title to seventy
two acres of land just east of Pasadena
and adjoining Baldwin's ranch on the
north. The land is water-bearing and
it is Dodge's intention to eventually
place it on the market in the form of
ten-acre tracts.
A lot 100 by 167 feet facing Markham
street in Pasadena was sold through
the Blankenhorn agency to p. A. Ford
of Pittsburg for reported price of $4,000,
and the buyer is said to be getting
ready to build a costly residence.
The foothills above Pasadena appear
to be a magnet to eastern buyers.
There was, sale of eighty-three acres
a few days ago by ]. F. Jackson tc
L. e. Yonde, the land in part facing
North Fair Oaks avenue and 1t is said
the price was $4,000.
Some splendid sales of Pasadena
residence property. among the best in
the city, will be announced within the
next few weeks. In several instances
the deeds are in escrow, and in other
cases offers have been accepted and
the parties are only waiting to have
the papers made out. One transfer
will invoke a consideration between
$50 900 and $1,000, and by an agency
which did not care to give out details
until title has passed, two or three
sales are reported which will aggregate
$50, 900.

Obituary

The friends of Orson Follet were
shocked last Tuesday evening when
they heard the sad news of his
death by drowning in Deadman
Greek about one-half mile from
his claim.
Orson was born in Sioux Coun-
ty, Iowa, April IL, 1883, where
he lived until six years ago when
he came to Brookings county, this
state. Last winter he came to
Stanley county where he has lived
on his claim until his death.
He drove some cattle to John
Carmon's one mile away, and
stopped to bathe in water hole
on his way home.
His mother and 14-year-old Sis
ter, getting anxious when he did
not return at the expected time,
went in search of him and found
his clothes lying on the bank of
the water hole. Neighbors were
summoned and the pond dragged
until the body was recovered.
He was q man of good habits
and sterling manly qualities and
cold words are poor instruments
with which to express the high es-
TEEN in which he was held by the
many friends he had made during
his short residence here. We do
not mingle with such boys as
Orson Toilet without being made
the better for it.

Local Wool Market

E. l.. Brown was here most of
last week from Fort Pierre buying
wool for a Chicago firm. Mr..
Brown shipped two car loads from
here and will probably ship an
other during the coming week.
This will practically clean up the
clip in this immediate neighbor-
hood, though several growers are
holding for higher price.
Before coming here Mr.. Brown
had shipped ten cars of Stanley
county wool from Fort Pierre.
He is also shipping from Cotton
wood, where the largest purchase
was one of $3.50 pounds from A.
Hinesh. Other shippers are buy
ing up the clip along the Milwau-
kee line where there are more
droves of sheep as rule than in
this part of the county.
The price this year is seventeen
cents per pound, and this seems to
be satisfying the producers,
though it does not compare with
the prices that have been paid for
wool in the past. Mr.. Brown,
who has been buying wool for
years, tells us that the quality of
the clip this time is only fair, per-
haps little bit below the average.

There After Us

The following was clipped from
one of the Pierre papers. While
the new organization is no doubt
a strong one, the Philip boys are
not the least bit scared but on the
other hand are ready and anxious
to meet them. The boys have no
fears but that they can defend
their present record:
The business men and boys
most interested in base ball have
got together and created their
organization for the rest of the
season with H. H. Gregg as mana
ger. Sufficient funds have been
raised to guarantee the services of
a first class pitcher who is now on
the ground. The interested de-
votees of the game came to the
front literally with the money,
and there now seems to be nothing
to prevent the pulling off of an
interesting series of games. The
first one on the schedule is the one
between Pierre and Blunt which
will occur on the home diamond
this afternoon and which will no
doubt be an interesting and closely
contested one. A return game
will be played at Pierre Sunday.
1t is the plan to have a series of
eighteen games one of the most
interesting of which will be with
the town of Philip whose team has
a good record so far.

The News Becomes All Home
Print

In accordance with a policy long
ago announced, the News has be-
come an all home print paper.
This simply means that all of
the eight pages you hold in
your hand were printed in our
own shop at Philip, South
Dakota. 1t means also that it
is the only all home print paper
in this end of Stanley county and
that there is onl y one other in the
entire county, the Stock Growers
News at Fort Pierre.
1t will mean increased work and
expense to publish the News in
accordance with our new plan, but
we believe it will be a much better
paper. An attempt will be made
gradually to widen our field of
subscribers and the territory
covered by our news columns.
The News is to become a news
paper for all the people of Stanley
county, if our ambitions are real
lied.
Not SO very long ago the News
had only two pages Of home print,
then three, four, six and now
eight. And remember too, that
while the local reading matter
furnished our readers has been
doubled twice oyer, the subscrip-
ton price has remained the same,
one dollar per year.
We now have over eleven hun
dred subscribers, which is within
a few dozen of the largest sub
scription list in the county. As
we remarked sometime ago, long
before the snow flies we will lead
them all.

Prisoners Object

The sheriff has lately received q
protest from the prisoners who
are confined in the county jail,
and there is a possibility that some
things that have heretofore been
accepted rs quite right and proper
at the court house may not be re-
garded quite that way in the fu-
ture.
The Jail is in the basement of
the court house, and the city hall
is on the second floor. The prison
ers are kept in the Jail, and the
city council meets in the city hall.
Other cities have had different ar
rangements, but in Fort Pierre,
thanks to the Good Government
League that fiourishes there, the
city council has thus far held no
meetings in the Jail.
During the recent stormy ses-
sions of the council there was con-
siderable noise in the city hall.
So heated were the arguments and
so great was the volume of noise
turned loose, that the county
prisoners were kept awake far in
to the night. Hence the protest.
The prisoners aver that they are
willing to accept any sentence that
the law and the court may impose,
but they believe there are some
things that man, even though he
happens to be in Jail, does not
have to stand for. One of these
is listening to a session of the Fort
Pierre city council.
1t does seem a little tough.
Other people can move out of that
end of town, or else 20 across the
river to Pierre on nights when
the council happens to be in session.
But man in Jail has to submit
to an inhumanity that is simply
blood curdling. We are impelled
to believe that the city council
will in the end have to find other
quarters. A man should not be
forced to listen to them in full
blast simply because he happens
to have committed murder or lar
ceny or other public offense.
The law provided a proper and
humane punishment for those
things.

A Thrilling Experience

During the past winter, Mr.. A.
G. Campbell, General Manager of
the Campbell Bros. Great Shows
made tour Of the foreign coun-
tries in quest of some wild animals
to enlarge their menagerie. During
the stop at Singapore, India, he
purchased large collection of
jungle animals. Among the lot
was pair of Bengal Tigers.
These tigers, by nature, are very
ferocious, and the utmost precau-
ton must be used in handling
them. Each animal was put in
separate crates and all were placed
in the hold of the ship.
On the morning of the fourth
day out, Mr.. Campbell started in
to the hold of the ship as usual to
look after the welfare of the ami
mails; when to his horror, he be-
held the large male Bengal Tiger
glaring at him from the top of a
crate. Before he could retreat
the tiger made a spring toward
him. Expecting this, though he
had but a seconds time, he jumped
aside, the tigers claws tearing his
coat from his back. After some
foxy maneuvering, he managed to
get back to safety. OF course the
passengers and crew of the ship
were in state of great fear and
CONSERVATION when they learned
the facts. Mr.. Campbell secured
long ropes and with the help of
the crew, one after another of the
ropes were cast over the tigers
body until he became enmeshed in
them, when he was replaced in a
stronger crate. This same tiger
is now to be seen daily in the
menagerie of Campbell Brothers
Consolidated Shows which will ex-
hibit in Philip on Tuesday July
E28 rain or shine, under water
proof tents. Parade at 10 a. m.

Ex-senator Pettigrew In Town

Ex-senator r. +. Pettigrew,
who is without doubt the most be-
loved by his friends and best hated
by his enemies of any man in
South Dakota to-day, stopped in
Philip long enough for dinner last
Thursday on his return from the
democratic state convention at
Rapid City. Previous to attend
ing the convention at Rapid City
Mr.. Pettigrew attended the nation
al convention at Denver, where he
took an active part in the nomina-
tion of Bryan. In his address be-
fore the convention at Rapid City
Mr.. Pettigrew said:
Bryan is the only democratic
candidate that ever voted for and
l am proud to have the privilege
of voting for him again.
Speaking of the Denver plat
form, Mr.. Pettigrew said, The
Denver platform is the most ad-
vanced and radical made by any
political party in recent years. 1t
promises a restoration of the free
institutions of government to the
people and equality to all if we

Crop Gossip

The News editor has lately taken
several drives through parts of
western Stanley county, has been
over on the Milwaukee line, and
has been down the line to Fort
Pierre. Everywhere crops are in
a most tiourishing condition. Last
Saturday we saw fine fields of corn
and small grain crops near Kado-
ka. Oats over that way will make
forty bushels easily. We are
quite sure that the prospect for a
bumper crop is much better than
it was year ago at this time.
Reports of fine crops come from
the Hardingrove country and from
over the county generally. The
following paragraphs CLEANED from
our exchanges indicate how promis-
ing the outlook is:
Harry Little sold to the Repub-
lican editor a half bushel of new
potatoes the first of the week that
range in size from hens egg to
the fist of a $50 pound man.
Pretty good spuds for this time of
the year. Cottonwood Republi-
can.
Levi Burgstahler is up from
Tyndall this week and is oversee
ing the harvesting of his 40 acre
piece of winter wheat just two
miles south of town. This patch
of grain is as good as can be grown
anywhere and the yield is put by
persons who understand, at from
Is to 80 bushels per cre.-Cotton-
wood Republican.
While we were driving through
the country this week we passed q
field of wheat, on John Berringer's
claim north of town, which is very
fine appearing. It is nearly waist
high and good stand, just head
ing out. Looks like it would
make heavy yield. The gentle
man who accompanied us has
travelled extensively over the state
and he said it was without doubt
the best field of wheat he has seen
in the state. John ought to feel
proud and happy to own piece
of grain like that. Belvidere
Times.
On Monday Thomas J. Brown
of Pheba brought into this Office a

which was nearly 4 feet high.

Circuit Court

The July term of circuit court
for this county is in session this
week at Fort Pierre. In the ab-
sence of Judge Lyman T. Boucher,
the regular presiding Judge of this
district, Judge Mccoy Of Aber-

Judge Boucher will arrive in time
to finish the term next week.
So far most of the time has been
taken up with the criminal calen-
dar. The states attorney has fled
a number of informations, and in
most instances the defendants have
been arraigned. The case against
Peter Kertzman for selling intoxi-
eating liquors without a license
was disposed of by entering a plea
of guilty, and the court imposed a
fine of seventy-6ve dollars and
costs.
Next week the murder case
