One of the largest land deals in this
state was the sale to L. A. Tenny, OF
Oneida, S. d., of the John HI. King and
Peter Kinny ranch in Sully county.
The ranch consists of 5000 acres, upon
which there are several buildings,
thirteen miles of fence, artesian wells,
etc.
But for the prompt intervention of
Spearfish officers George Meeker, res
ident of that place, might have been
lynched. Meeker is accused by his
daughter, Jessie, aged ID, with being
guilty of unnatural practices upon her,
and the child's statements were corrob.
GRATED by her brother Frank This is
the second daughter who has accused
Meeker of the same offense in two
years, the older girl now being in the

Springs to stay in the county Jail some
cars were broken into in the Edgemont
yards and some clothing stolen. Detec-
tive Hoag arrested John Jenney for the
theft. He plead guilty and was SEM
fenced to spend thirty days in the
county Jail.
The attempt at the Fort Pierre brick
yards to make "slush" brick out Of
pure gumbo has, after many expert
ments, been given mp, and the machin-
cry is being placed to manufacture
pressed brick only of that material.
Experiments have shown that the finest
kind of pressed brick can be manufac-
tured from gumbo, but the attempts d
dry the mould brick were failures for
the reason that the outside would crack
before the inner core was dry enough y
put into the kiln. With the pressed
brick this will be avoided as the mater
iai is ground and pressed dry.

life OF Michael f. Conry OF New York, who has
been elected on the Democratic ticket for the
seat In congress that up to this year has been
held by W. Bourke Cochran. The rapid rise
of Mr. Conry, who began life as breaker boy
in the coal mines of Pennsylvania, and the hard
fight that he made to get TO the top OF the lad

Born in Shenandoah. Pa, 3S years ago, Mr..
Conry was put to work as a breaker boy when he
reached the age of eight years. For FIVE years
he worked in the mines studying evenings as much
as he could. At 10 he quit work and with the
assistance of friends went to school He studied
so hard and progressed so rapidly that at the age
