NORTHWESTERN BRIDGE
DELAYS UP RIVER BOAT

Pierre =. D., May lS.-The North
western railroad has been up against
hard proposition here for the past
three days. The government boat,
"Mandan," made its way up the river
and signaled she bridge engineer for
AN open bridge. The engineer started
his big engine, which handles the draw
OF the bridge. and after some maneuv-
ering found that the bridge would not
draw.
Investigation proved thai the current
of the river had thrown up huge
sand bar directly under the bridge
where the draw is located. As II costs
the railroad people 800 per day for
every day the government boats are de-
layed by bridge obstacles, great haste
was made to try and remove the big
sand bar For three days the big boat
Jim Leighton has been working at

backing the boats, the sand was famed

ceeded In making entrance through the
sand and the "Mandan" continued its
way up the river.

Thief ABDUCTS
OFFICIALS WHO
CAPTURED HIM
Guardians of Peace Caught by
a Ruse and Dumped on
the Prairies.

Dallas, s.. D., May 1S.--A suspicious
looking man In Winton automopile
caused the night watchman OF this mu-
nicipality to think that the banks were
I'm danger of attack and, while the
guardian Of the peace was guarding
the approaches to the treasury, the sus-
pect must have been busy with the
hen roosts, as later in the day sack
In the auto, which was supposed TO con-
tain yeggman's tools, was found TO con-
tain chickens.
A warrant was at once issued ana
placed in the hands of the officers OF
the law The arrest was made ana all
seemed favorable for this alleged petty
pilferer being brought to speedy justice,
FOR he was caught with the goods and
could not deny II.
The automobile was standing out In
the rain and the prisoner suggested
that, while he was perfectly willing 10
go with the officers wherever they
cared TO take him. yet he would Ike TO
run the machine under cover some
where before going TO Jail or TO court.
The three accordingly got aboard the
automobile and headed for the Jackson
Bros. implement shed. A Whit whir,
a sudden dash. and chickens, men and
machine disappeared over the hills In
Tripp county. A rescuing expedition
was soon sent out In hopes OF recover
ing the officers thus ruthlessly Kid
naped, for peaceful and quiet com
munity was bereft OF its sturdy officers
of the law and left unprotected. Later
in the day the two officials, foot sore
and alone, returned to town. having
been deserted on the broad stretches OF
prairie by their prisoner.

weather prevailed. There was about
the normal amount of sunshine. The
weather was usually cool until near the
close of the week, when 1t became mod
erately warm. Light to heavy frosts
occurred generally, and freezing tenn
peratures We're recorded on one or more
days in the middle and northern Coun-

CATTLE THIEVES
PURLOIN HERD OF

Boldest Act of Cattle Rustling
Ever Perpetrated in the
Coyote State.

Huron, s. d., May 16.--Cattle thieves
TOOK from the Micha Il Myers ranch, in
SanboIn county, en- April 20, herd OF
26 white faced, 2-year-old steers, de-
horned and branded with square on

ance of the cattle is puZzler to the
authorities OF Sanborn county, who
with Sheriff s. A. Wise, Of Woonsochct,
are enieavoring to recover the cattle
and apprehend the thieves.
II is thought that experienced cat
tie rustlers are interested and that the
stock were driven to some railway sta
tion and with other cattle shipped 10
some eastern market. Although dill
gent search has been made since the
discovery Of the theft, no trace of the
cattle has been found. Sheriffs In
neighboring counties have become in
tcIested i'm the search and success may
soon reward their efforts A reward OF
5000 is offered, 800 for the discovery
OF the whereabouts of the cattle and
another 500 for the apprehension OF
the thieves.

BOYS LIFE LOST
IN BURNING BARN

Wagner S. D., May 15.-Last night
Louis, the second oldest son of l..
Uken lost his life in a fire in their
barn Louis with two younger brothers
were sleeping in the loft. and when the
alarm was given by the man sleeping
in the Office. the other two got up and
saved their lives with several bad
burns. But Louis did not escape and
was badly charred when found after
the fire
Five horses were badly burned and
another so badly burned that it was
afterwards killed. Also a new automo-
bile and a number of buggies and other
articles were consumed. Because the
fire occurred at a time when all were
sleeping the building was nearly a to-
tai wreck before II was discovered. The
waterworks did good service and only
for its efficiency more buildings would
have burned.

Way Out at Sea.

FROM tHe NlCnOlaS.
The life OF a seaman is not lived en-
ti"ey in port When cruising out on the
broad ocean we steer clear from the
tracks laid for the mail ships, choosing a
painless waste where there Is uninter-
rupted target range. l should like to write
of 81 days out of sight of land, just crus-
ing. and drilling as a long cruise, but
when | hear sailor men telling tales of
more than year afoat on an old wind
TANNER | am ashamed to mention 1t, al
though | cannot leave off wondering where
all the blue comes fom. Has the ocean
drunk from the heavens until they have
grown pale, or is the sky merely mirror
of the oceans sapphire?
In the calmest weather there are al
ways great blue swells far out at sea,
so blue, so free from whitecaps that one
requires but slight imagination, by look
Ing through half closed lids, to see great
rolling meadows of gentians. This is
where all the pretty little formallties OF
port life are laid aside-the moment the
anchor is on deck. the ships flag and the
union jack are folded away, and their
STATS taken down, while simultaneously
with their lowering an ensign mounts to
the gaff and the admirars flag shrinks
on the main truck.
1t is at sea we get In our hard work,
and there is so much of IL that half of
the crew Geo mem are always on duty.
If for the cruise you are chosen as
helmsman, you are exempt from sea
watch, deck work, etc.
II isn't bit jolly TO stand a trick at
the wheel; it is two hours on and four
hours off, day and night Not a word
dare you speak and the presence of an
officer nearby makes a stolen smoke i'm
possib!e Were a choice offered, would
say give me a mid-watch aloft in "A storm
tn, there when nj oh
is cold (aIthough II is not so written in
the reguations) a peculiar jerking at Il
signal halyard tells you that can of hot
coffe is on the way, and when 1t comes
up you bless it from the fullness of your
heart.

lAWYER-AUTHOR
TURNS FARMER

New York, May l6.-Bolton Hall, au-
thor, lawyer and single taXer. left his
comfortable house, So East SiXty-first
St, and pitched a tent on vacant
lot in a crowded apartment house dis
trict OF Harlem, where he intends to
demonstrate that farming is profitable
in the heart of the city.
"A man with the same amount of
labor" he asserts, "can make more
money in raising produce on half an
acre of land in this city than he can
on one hundred times as much 10 miles
outside the city.
Alfred Banning, young English
settlement worker and have taken this
land and we expect to more than make
our own living. Think of the rent you
can save. You can buy tent for $l5
which will last you dozen years and
YOU can live In II from April to Novem-
ber. What you raise will pay your
food expenses"

FATHER RESENTS
AFFINITY" UNION
Severely Beaten by Daughters
Paramours and Resorts
to Arrests.

Platte, S. D.. May 15.--Because he
had the hardihood to show his resent
ment to the affinity business, John VAR
ner, a prominent farmer residing in
the Choteau creek district of Charles
Mix county, was set upon by two
young brothers named Cannon and
severely beaten.
Two daughters of Werner had
found their affinities in the two
brothers, and have caused a scandal
which has set the people Of Charles
Mix county by the ears. Recently
Mr.. Werner has found II necessary to
be away from home a great part of
the time, and upon returning few
days ago made the discovery that
during his absence his daughters and
the Cannon brothers had carried the
affinity business to the limit. In
fact, the father is alleged to have dis
covered that during his absence his
daughters took up their residence
with the Cannon brothers.
When the father returned and dis
covered the state Of affairs he went
10 the place where the two couples
were sojourning and endeavored to in
duce his daughters to return home
with him. 1t was at this juIcture that
the angry father was set upon by the
two young men and badly beaten. In
retaliation he caused the arrest OF the
brothers on a charge of assault and
battery, and they were found guilty
and each finedA the sum Of $25 and
costs.
After fruitless efforts to induce his
daughters to return home, Werner, as a
last resort, had warrants sworn out
for their arrest and they were taken
into custody by Sheriff Skillings and
Deputy Frank Patton. II may be that
a double wedding may be decided upon
AS the best method OF adjusting the
difficulty.
In the event that the double we'd
ding does not take place. the two
young men may be called upon to an
swer to a serious charge in the state
circuit court for Charles Mix county.

An Australian corporation has Just re-
ceived a concession from the Russian gov
ernment to take out 100000 feet of tim
ber a year from a forest in Siberia, 900
miles from VladivOstok, TO be delivered
in Melbourne, Australia, approximately
5000 miles away, and nearly three times
the distance from New York 10 San Fran
cisco.
1t is likely that no numbering operation
of recent years more strongly illustrates
the pinch In the timber supply in all parts
of the world. In the news of the con-
cession told In an American lumber Jour-
nal, is the suggestion of the difficulty that
all countries may have to encounter In
getting the wood which they need in the
future Every year timber cruisers are
going further and further afield and cut
ting trees which, in former times of
abundance, they passed because of the in
accessibility Of the forest.
In taking out the Siberian timber the
Melbourne lumbermen will have to ship
the entire years cut in July, August, Sep
tember and October, for during the re-
mainder of the year there is no open
water at the point Of shipment. What
makes this unusual feature of transport
ing bulky logs 5000 miles quite feasible
is that such manufactured stock is ad-
mitted free, while there is heavy duty
on all manufactured wood brought into
Australia the duty on lumber, for in
stance, being nearly IS a thousand board
feet.
These Siberians operations differ from
the numbering methods in the United
States, in that in this country 1t is pos
sible and customary 10 have new mills
conveniently near the place OF production,
though with the constantly decreasing
supply, the larger mills often find 1t prof
liable 10 haul their timber by trans and
railroads many miles away from their
saws. Forest experts in this country say
that the hope of the United States for
steady supply of timber lies In the
application of forestry to all timber lands,
private and public, and the careful study
OF the economical and better utilization
of the product. Even SO, severe short
age in 20 to 25 years must be expected.
