BROKE STOCK QUARANTINE
Frank Gruble Arrested for Bring.
ing in Wyoming Sheen,


Belle Fourche, S. D., April O.
Frank Gruble waived examination
before County Judge Brown, We'd
nesday on a charge Of bringing
sheep into South Dakota from Wy
oming. He gave bond for appearing
at the next term of circuit court.
Grubles lives in Wyoming where
the sheep have been troubled with
the foot and mouth disease. He
moved his sheep over to Owl creek
in South Dakota despite the fact
that this state is quarantined against
Wyoming.
In the past it has not been con-
sidered very grave offense to cross
the line when only inspection was
required. Now with sheep absoi
lutely barred out 1t is going to cause
some flock Owners some serious
trouble to try jumping the state
line. Gruble will have his sheep in
this state quarantined, and before
he is through he will probably wish
he had stayed at home.

TELEPHONES FOR NEW TOWNS
Belle Fourclle 4 Northern Company
is Building to Buffalo.

IS Bullulng to Buffalo.
Belle Fourche, S. D., April g.
The telephone line is following the
homesteader and in a short time
Belle Fourche will have connection
with all of the towns of the new
county of Harding. The Belle
Fourche and Northern Telephone
Company is now rapidly stringing
wires between here and Camp Crook,
rs miles, and from there to Buffalo,
25 miles, the new county seat of
Harding county. When these lines
and the necessary laterals are COM
pleted, it is the intention of the COM
pany to build north rs miles from
Buffalo to Bowman, North aDkota,
making the connection with the new
towns along the Pacific Coast line
of the Milwaukee.
The motor boat, "Belle Fourche,"
which was used as a pleasure craft
last summer on the big Belle
Fourche irrigation reservoir, has
been sold to the government, but it's
former owner, o. H. Anderson, will
have two new boats, "The Taft"
and "The Butte County," ready for
this season. Since the dam haA
been constructed and the reservoir
filed with water, Belle Fourche is
becoming quite ia summer resort
for it is the only place in western
South Dakota where yachting and
motor boating may be enjoyed.

WIRELESS MESSAGES.
Washington to Have the Greatest
Tower Ever Erected.

Washington to Have the Greatest
Tower Ever Erected.
The navy department at Washing.
ton has devised a system by means
of which it will be possible to trans.
NIT messages by wireless telegraphy
half way across the globe without
relaying.
1t is its intention to build at Wash.
ington the greatest tower ever erect,
ed for the transmission of messages
by wireless. This is to be 400 feet
hight and capable of sending mes
sages by day or night, in summer
weather and in the worst storms
for distance of 5000 miles.
Those who bid on the tower are
free to make it out of paper or steel
as they choose, but whatever mater
ial is used 1t must be guaranteed to
flash messages three thousand miles
at all times without interruption over
a test period of full year. There
have been many experiments along
this line, and its success demonstrate
ed. The Germans have built a long
distance wireless tour at Nauen, Just
outside Of Berlin. Another is being
built at Milan. The celebrated Eff
ell tour in Paris is being put to this
use.
The navy department is very par
ticular about its equipment and
while there three towers on the At
lantic coast which are able at times
to send messages 1000 miles to CO.
Ion, still they are not satisfactory
in all kinds of weather. 1t is a pc
culiar fact that bright sunlight in
terferes with the transmission of
messages as may storm, and these
are conditions that must be COM
pletely overcome in the new wireless
tower.
1t is planned that as soon as the
first great wireless tour at Washing
ton has shown itself able to handle
long distance messages to abandon
all the small stations along the At
lantic coast, and the tower at Wash
ington will be duplicated at Colon,
Hawaii, the Philippines and where
ever similar erections may be found
necessary.
While wireless messages do not
travel we'll over land at present-and
scientists are very much in the dark
as to why they don't-it is well
known that the radius may be in
creased by higher towers, more
powerful electrical machines, and
perfect, rapid spark-breakers. Re
suits are the object of the navy de-
partment, and it is willing to ask
the why's and "wherefores" after
ward. An effort was recently made
to utilize the Washington monument
for long distance wireless messages
but President Roosevelt did not APP
prove of the plan, and the high
tower which is to be built at the
Washington navy yard is the out
come.
1t will not be long before the de-
partment will be able to communi.
cate with any of the ships OF either
the Atlantic or Pacific fleet and
hold speech with them just as tho
they were only few miles apart in.

May Meister Was the Firs, and Sc,
cured Valuable Quarter.
Gregory, S. d., April 2.-Splitting
two quarter sections of land in twair
to exercise her right of choice OF
100 acres of the choicest land III
Tripp county, May Meister, of Ken,
nebec, holder of No. in the famous
Tripp county drawing of October
10, 1908, filed promptly yesterday
morning at 9 o'clock. She chose
the west half of the southeast quar-
ter, and the east half of the south
west quarter of section 81, town
ship 100, range rs. The tract lies
just south of the government town
site of Jordan or Witten in the
northwestern part of the county,
where the new private townsite of
Redhill has just been located a
short distance to the north of the
Meister claim.
The question of Mrs. Meister's
right to file had been previously
passed upon by Judge Witten and
did not come up at the time of the
filing when she appeared with her
locator, Chester Slaughter, of Dali
las, paid her filing fee, took her re-
ceipt and left the office soon after.
The map in the filing room was i'm
mediately marked to show that the
tract in question had passed out of
the list of lands eligible to entry.
Peter Swift, of Ponca, Neb., who
responded with number 2, chose
the southwest quarter of section 10,
township 81, range IA, which lies
half mile from the city Of Dallas
and is surrounded by Indian allot-
mentS.
E. Hannen, of Meadow Grove,
Neb., holding No. 3, filed on the
west half of the northeast quarter
and the east half of the northwest
quarter of section 10, township 100,
"ange rs, lying a half mile west of
Jordon, and but little over a mile
from May Meister's claim.
Otto Schneider, of Mitchell, S. D.,
as number 4, made choice of the
south west quarter Of section g,
township 81, range rs, being a
half. mile from the government
townsite of Colome, situated 10
miles from the present terminus Of
the Northwestern road.
Jacob Echert, of Wichita, Kan,
made the fifth filing on the south
half of the southeast quarter |oH
section "a, township 9S, range "a,
and lot 1 and the southeast quarter
of the northeast quarter of section
3, township 81, range "a
Samuel Anderson of Albert City,
Ia, was the sixth to file and his
choice was the southwest quarter
of section 9, township 100, range
rs, just north of the new townsite
of Redhill, and only short distance
from the Meister and Hammer
claims.
There will be SO filings made dur
ing the day if all the holders of
lucky numbers are on hand to ex-
ercise their right.
At a large public meeting in the
auditorium last evening at which
there were hundreds of the holders
of numbers, Judge Witten made a
lengthy address and gave full in
structions as to the filing as well as
paying high compliment to the
qualities of the country to be en-
tered

WON'T DIE WITH BOOTS ON
Condemned Murderer in Montana is
Ready for the Tran.

Kalispel, Mont, April Since
partaking of a feast of roast duck

rick Lebeau, condemned murderer,
has tasted and says he will go to
his death tomorrow at seven O'Clock
without partaking of food. Today
Lebeau removed his shoes, declar-
ing that he will not die with his
shoes on. He asked Sheriff Nc
Cornell to personally spring the
trap, act as pail bearer and see to it
that his grave is heaped with flow
ers.
Apparently Lebeau's greatest re-
greet is that he has not entirely COM

Clippings from the Quinn Courant.
The township board has decided
to erect calaboose in Quinn. Now
will you be good? Quinn recently
voted wet. See?-Ed.)
N. P. Burr sowed the first of his
wheat March 4. second. INSTALL
ment March IS, and expects to finish
sowing this week. He will have a
chance to see which does the best,
the early or late sowing.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Quinn, who
have been conducting the Hotel
Dresser for the past two months, re-
tired this morning, the lease of the
building having expired. We do
not know who, if any one, is to sue
coed them.
A subscription has been circulated
among the business men and about
$500 raised toward the support
of base ball team for Quinn this
summer. So far no team has been
organized, but the matter will prob
ably be taken up soon. Quinn has
always had creditable record in
ball lines, and will no doubt sus-
tain it this year.

The application of w. w. Timmins
for license to sell intoxicating liq-

clerk long enough and sufficient
notice had not been given. The
license was fixed at $1,000.

outfit started out Monday afternoon.
Work was commenced on Vim. Hal
ley's land, about a mile north Of
town where forty acres will be bro
ken. AS is natural in starting a new
outfit there is some delay in getting
everything adjusted to work lust
right, but there appears to be no
reason why it will not do good work
and plenty of it. The gang consists
of six sixteen-inch plows which
makes an eight-foot strip at time.
The machine will be run both day
and night, and there appears to BIZ
no question of its having all the
work it can do. 1t looks like bust
ness to see the ground turned over
at this rate, and it means several
thousand acres more in crop in the
vicinity of Quinn this season.

Special Agent Wanted to be Shown.
There was a great stir among the
local land men last week, when a
smooth-shaven, we'll groomed, stout
young fellow blew into town and dill
igently inquired where he could find
a good quarter section of land to
locate upon. One of the land men
went so far as to hire a team and
take the stranger out over the wall
and show him what the stranger
called "a perpendicular quarter sec
ton" 1t transpired, however, that
the stranger, who gave his name as;
T. b. Brents, was United States
secret service man, and was ION the
job'' all the time he was here. He
was, in plain words, detective, and
was working at it," When the
truth came out as it did when Mr..
Brents work was completed here,

ion stole over the hearts Of the land

to the 2Sth, having moon at greatest
declination north on the 9th. An
other marked fall of the barometer
will set in the west at the entrance
of this period, followed closely by
cloudiness, higher temperature and
rain. Storm areas will grow wider
and gain intensity as they reach
central parts of the eastward march

storms will eliminate from the Miss

and possible snow squalls to the
northward need not be a surprise on
the rear tangents of these storm
areas. Much cooler weather with
frost will be quite natural during
the last four or five nights of the
month. Whatever peculiar intensity

general phenomena in March and
April, it will subside in great meas
ure. by the end of April, leaving it
is hoped, a more placid possibility
for the month Of May. If the first
half of April is not characterized by
frequent and intense storms of some
kind, seismic disturbances will be
more severe and general thus reliev-
