PIERRE, S. D., July ~27.-(Special. LAST
evening, Charles Hayward, a young man
here who was walking along the river bank
a short distance below the boat landing, saw
a watch in the sand near the edge of the
water. He picked II up, and near it saw a
ring. This led to an investigation, in which
four cheap watches and a dozen or more
rings were found, some of the rings being
valuable, and others having the sets dug
out. No one here knows of a robbery of
such articles and the indications are tina
the articles had lain IN the sand for a year
or more. They were scattered over a space
of several feet as II someone had thrown
them down from the top Of the bank, allow
ing them to be scattered about. How they
got where they were found is a mystery.

Tom V. Collins of Missouri Valley has
complained to the State Railroad commits
sion that though Missouri Valley is quite
a city the railroad there sort of gives them
the go-by. The time table shows trains
at sos and 9:2O p. m, but Mr.. Collins claims
they do not stop and that when he wants
to go to Sioux City or Council Bluffs he
has to walk up the track a mile or so and
board the train on the move when It slows
down at the crossing for the conductor to
grab orders from the agent.
The railroad commission has taken the
matter up with the company. The time
tables show that the trains should stop.
Mr.. Collins says they haven't stopped for
more than a week to his certain knowl-
edge.
