ADAM SHORT TAIL

came to town Monday morning and
proceeded to load up on firewater. At
ter securing quite a jag they proceeded
to clean out the saloon in which they

dow lights and other evidences of civil
ization. Marshal Griesey came along
and gathered in Adam Short Tail and
led him off to Jail.
The red protested and proceeded to
put up a fight, when the marshal re-
minded him that he we..d go dead or
ALIKE and tapped him one on the brain
pan with his billy. This satisfied the
fellow for a couple Of blocks and then
he proceeded to put up another fight.
when he met with the same treatment.
A number OF his Indian companions,
seeing h difficulty. came peli nell to
the rescue n it looked for a time as
though the marshal would have to use
his gun. but happily a number of white
men who were watching the trouble
came up at this time and prevented the
rescue.

DARED TO GET MARRIED.
TWO COUPI ES TRY 1T

oacoma. S. D., Nov. 1S.--As the re-
suit of a IA this place was the scene
of a romantic double wedding, after a
midnight journey of the principals from
the extreme southern part of Lyman
county to the ounty seat at this place.
The principals in the wedding were
George Sweet, of Gregory, and Miss
Minnie Austin. and Guy Stearns. Of
Ottumwa. and Miss Sadie Austin.
The brides are sisters and the grooms
are cousins. 1t appears the two young
men We're visiting the sisters. n dur
ing the evening made the daring jest
that the sisters had not the nerve to
accompany them to the county seat at
once N be married. The sisters ac-
eepted the dare n the four started out
at once on the long and dangerous
journey to Oacoma, arriving here at 8
o'clock In the morning. The great diff
ficulty and danger in making the cross
ing of White river in the darkness
added Zest to the occasion. After their
arrival here there was a tedious wait
for the clerk OF courts to appear and
ssh the license. After this was Sc
cured the services of Rev. N. H. May
were secured and the marriage cere-
mony was performed.

VETERAN PoPULiST LEADER
RETiRES FROM HIS FARM

Ctear Lake, 5. D.. Nov. 18Th. L.
Loucks, since early days one of the
most conspicuous figures in the poll
tical and agricultural history of the
state, and widely known as the sage OF
Altruria. has decided to retire o m ac-
tive farming and spend his remaining
years at ease. He has just sold to his
sons. Daniel. the farmer, and Perry,
the lawyer. the two sections Of fine
agricultural land in Hidewood town
ship, near here, which comprise what
since early days has been known as the
Loucks farm. Daniel Loucks in fu-
ture will have personal control of the
arm and will conduct it along modern
scientific Ines. 1t is the intention OF
the two sons to incorporate a company
soon for the purpose OF being better
able to anal the huge business of
the farm. III. l.. ouck and his wife
have reserved a small tract OF ground
on hi farm, together with comfortable
buildings, and on this miniature farm
they will pass their remaining days.
The maj who thus retires from the
activities OF life for years was one Of
the best known Of South Dakota men.
He was the leader of the Did populist
party aua as such welded a power
which never mas been surpassed by
any individual in the state.

cause of the Saloon Fight
Against His Election.

Sioux Falls, S. D.. Nov. 14.-With
official returns from all but nine
ties of the state n close estimates
on these nine, it is apparent that Taft
has carried South Dakota by more than
$4,000, and Wesley by more than 1900.
This indicates that 1000 supported
Taft and voted against Wesley, includ-
ing the stalwart pro-saloon men and a
few ScandinaNians who voted for Lee.
The, exact majorities with nine coun-
ties estimated, are: Taft, 25,4O3, and
Nessey, 17,34S.
The OFFICIAL count in Bon Homme
shows John Holleman winner for the
state senate owe j.. p. Cooley, demo-
crat, and present incumbent, by %
votes, reducing the democratic mem
bership in the assembly to IA Of the
tl49.
With official figures from all but IL
of the SO counties, it is apparent hat
the vote on county option will be re-
markedly close. The counties reporting
so far show a majority against the
counties, Aurora, Brule, Buffalo, Greg
DRY, Hutchinson. Hyde, Lyman, Meade,
Pennington, Roberts, Sphinx and Wal
worth, seven will probably give majors
ties against and five for the law.
/. The Lax probably will be defeated
that the saloon forces have been kept
in hot water. Some remarkable votes
have been shown. Stanley, for example,
cast the largest majority yet report
ed for the law-no less han S36. Butte
gave it 3os majority, Grant ATS, and
fBrookings 40S. Hamlin returned 81
votes against the law, while Kings
bury, adjoining, gave a majority OF
three out of 2,119 votes; Codington 498,
Bon Homme with 456, n McPher-
son with 449, gave the largest major
tiles against h law; nothwithstand-
Ing Minnehaha was expected to lead

Enactments Desired.

Pierre. S. d, Nov. 16.-Two new en-
actments Will undoubtedly he demand
ed of the legislature, which corveEes
here January II, 1909, an Immigration
department and a two-ceEt passenger
rate.
Regardless of the extensive advcrtis-
ing which the state has received the
past season through the opening of
Trip county to settlement, il will be
borne in mind that this advertising
was only sectional and temporary, and
there will be another concerted at
tempt made to establish the office Of
immigration commissioner and endow
it with a fund to work With. This mat
ter came up w years ago, bur the
only progress made was to make the
secretary of the board OF agriculture
"a land commissioner without salary or
fund to eXpend Tor advertising pur-
poses. r.
There is little being said about a
two-cent passenger rate bill, but il is
expected that it will be among the
early bills introduced at the coming
session, and as both the former pro-
gressives an stalwarts are publicly
committed to such q measure, it will
hardly meet with active opposition,
The only thing that Will delay the en-
factment of the law Is the provision
made two years ago for the physical
of the railways of the state
and the work along thai line now I'M
der way and still far from completion.
The indications are that it will be a
tolerably liberal appropriation session,
and the crowded condition of many Of
the state institutions will probably
cause an active movement to supply
both present and future needs along
that line, for which the state is able to
provide,

Rogers said:
THE drunken person who sees

trail plane. The intoxicated state serves
to develop the psychic eye and thus
the objects are seen on an astral In
stead of a physical plane. The horrors
that all intoxicated man sees are per-
feetly real On the plane that his vision
is punished for his violation az the law

on the astral plane are as painful "a
