BEES MASTER OF THE ROAD.
Farmers Mishap That Stopped Travel
on a French Highway.

A curious incident Is reported from
St. Prieure, near Chambery, where
two colonies of bees in a state

erybody from the neighborhood and
are still masters of the road.
The cure of a neighboring place,
accompanied by a farmer, came to
take possession of two beehives,
which the farmer loaded on a cart
drawn by WI oxen. Halfway home
one of tne hives fell off the cart and
was broken up. The bees on being
liberated attacked the farmer with
fury and stung him so violently that
the poo man tainted and fell on the
road. The cure came to his rescue,
but IN his hurry upset the other hive,
from which the bees also escaped and
attacked him in turn.
Worhn:en from the fields round
about heard the cries and rescued
both men. who had to be carried to a
house and attended by a doctor.
Meanwhile the bees attacked the OK
en- and stung them SO fiercely that
the two beasts started on a mad race
down the road and were finally stop

Father of One of Boy Tramps Is Found
to Be Much Alive.

The pathetic story told the Watertown
police by a couple Of youthful tramps
taken up by them a few days ago n
sentenced by Judge Myers of the
municipal court of that place to the
state reform school was decidedly
shaken later by a letter from the
father of one of the boys, a Mr.. Z.
Severson of Wentworth.
The boys agreed in a story that they
were orphans and just recently de-
serted by an older sister h had
eloped. They claimed their home was
near Aberdeen, and that they had been
tramptng only when the last of their
grub had been eaten. Mr.. Severson
writes hat the little boy in knee
pants is his son, whose father at least
is evidently much alive at present,
and that the other boy is an orphan
by the name of Pat Lavine.
Young Lavine nov c~onfesses thai
his guardian, a man by the name OF
Collins of Dell Rapids, also is alive,
and Pat is willing to declare their
dime novel adventure closed. But they
are entangled in court orders that may
DELAY their return to their homes.

TO VALUE ROADS IN HILLS.
State Railroad Commission Will Start
Work at DeadWood.

Physical valuation of railroads in
the state of South Dakota, secured by
report from the railroad companies
and then verified by the state railroad
commission, has become a reality n
the work is now on in earnest IN the
Black Hills. There are more than
1000 miles Of railroad in the state,
and it is estimated that it will take the
commission one and a half years to
complete the task set for 1t by the
last legislature. Only one road-the
Chicago & North-Western-has flee
a report so far with the commission,
but the others have civil engineers Sc
curing data. The commission mem
bers, D. H. Smith of Miller, George
Rice of Flandreau and DR.. Smith OF
Stursis, are at Deadwood to begin
work in the Hills. From there the
commission will go to Belle Fourche
and then to other parts OF the Hills.
Not only is the work laborious, but 1t
is expensive to the state.

large catfish fastened between a log

How to land the fish was a question.
for the boys reasoned that the fish, rs
soOn as dislod@ed. would become un-
manageable: bat they were equal to
the emergency. While Paris sat on
the fish Earl took lie shocstring band
from his straw hat. put it through the
gills of the fish and then the two

boys brought their catch, the largest
of the season. to town and found Its

FIames That Destroy Several stores

State Fire Marshal Craft of Mitchell
is making his position useful and ben
eficial, and through his efforts an al
legged female firebug was arrested at
Herrick and bound over to the term Of
circuit court at Bonesteel in the sum
of $1,000.
Miss Bessie Sinkleur, a young wo-
man of twenty-six years, has been en-
gagged in the millinery business at
Herrick for several years. and On July
10 her shop with it's contents was de.
stroyed by fire. With it wen six 9TH
er business buildings of the town.
Mr.. Craft was called to Herrick. He
ascertained that the milliner had
about $500 worth of goods in her
store; that she carried $1,000 in insur-
ance and that a week before the fire
she had moved her household goods
out and shipped them to Dallas. She
was arrested on the charge of incen-
diarism: was taken to the county seat
at Bonesteel and her examination was
held. Miss Sinkleur proclaimed her in
nocence of having any connection
with the blaze.
The fire was disastrous to the lit
tie town, for some of the merchants
carried but small insurance, and the
fire protection was inadequate.

DENIS CAN'T FILL OUT TICKET.
State Secretary Would Compel Use Of
New Party Name.


The Democrats of this state, and Of
many of the counties, by partially ig
noring the primary law, at the first
trial of it's provisions in June, are II
a worse position than If they had com
pletely ignored it in their effort tc
show that they did not believe in Its
provisions. They are certainly lr
hard luck if the contentious OF State
Secretary Wipf are correct; hlf
holding being that where a few name:
were voted for at the primary they
make the Democratic ticket and that
any effort to complete a ticket must
be through a second ticket under
some other name than Democratic.
At least this would be the inference
to be drawn from his letter to Thos
T. Ayres, who attempted to file the
names selected by the state conven'
ton at Rapid City, and endorsed by
the state committee meeting at Nit
chell to "fll vacancies" This effort
20 fill out a complete Democratic
state ticket was turned down. Wheth
er the case will be taken into the
courts remains to be seen. II not
an effort will be made to secure the
completion of the ticket by placing
names on by petition under the name
Democrat, but the inference drawn
the letter by the secretary is that he
would turn down such an application
on the same grounds in which he r e
fused to accept the filling of vacan
cieS.' Such a decision on his part
practically would go to the supreme
court for a ruling. and if his posi-.
ton should be upheld the only way
complete Democratic tickets can be
made up is by petition filings under
some name other than "Democratic.'
compelling the party to have its can
didates in two different columns upOr
the ballot. This certainly would
weaken any ticket they could put up
and it practically would eliminate
them from party politics in South Da
kota this year. They would have beer
in better position had they completely
ignored the primary than they are
now are after a partial compliance.

WHERE THEY PICK UP FISH.
One Way Of Making Good Catches In
South Carolina.

South Carolina.
E. D. Smith, A. H. Gasque, G.. and
A. Hugh Hines went fishing near Eff
fingham yesterday where a creek runs
into Lynche's river. They had fine
sport, and caught 10S of the finest red
breasts in the country.
Fishing down there is done with
the hands. All you have to do is to
feel under the logs and in the stump
holes and pull gu the fish. It is
characteristic of the red breast, we
are told, not to leave their hiding
place. They stick SO close to it that
one can literally pick them Il of the
water with the hands. These gentle
men had fine fun. They caught some
shad, but they were poor, except one,
and were put back into the water.
One snake was killed.
n only bad thing about fishing
This way is the fact that there are
some snakes under the logs, and if by
chance the fisher gets his hands on
q moccasin there, is generally some
thlng doing. Mr.. Johnson, who lives
IN that section, interviewed a snake
the other day in some trash where
red breasts We're hiding, and now he
has a game finger.
