DECLARED DEAD BY COURT,

But Deadwood Man Who Dropped
From Sight May Still Be Living.
Although Richard Griffin may still
be numbered among the living, Off
cially he is recognized as dead Rela-
tives Of Griffin, who went to Alaska
ten years ago to seek a fortune, ap-
peared in the county court at Lead
and offered evidence which resulted
in Griffin being declared dead and his
estate placed in probate
Until ten years ago Griffin was
resident of Lead. In 1898 he went to
Alaska and three years later his
wife here received a letter from him,
saying he was i'll and needed money
to come home. She raised the funds,
and when ready to send them found
that Griffin had disappeared. Every
effort was made to locate him through
the officials Of Seattle and Alaska
towns, but to no avail, and hope was
given up. His wife is now dead and
only a niece survives.

STARTLED BY DAIRY TESTS,

kota.
AID examination recently made of
the dairy herds owned by the various
state institutions disclosed conditions
that are certain to produce a state
wide sensation. All the officials con.
cerned refuse to talk for publication
but enough of the discoveries made in
the tests of the mich cows has
leaked out to startle the public.
AS courtesy to the state the bu-
reau of animal industry, which is al
LIED with the agricultural department.
consented to examine the herds at the
South Dakota institutions, and DR.. J.
P. Foster of Huron, formerly state
veterinarian and now in the federal
bureau, was detailed to conduct the
tests.
With an assistant he examined all
the dairy cattle at the state penjten-
tiary in Sioux Falls, the asylum for
the insane at Yankton, the institute
for the blind at Gary, the reform
school at Plankington and the insti-
tute for the feeble-minded at Red.
field.
At the penitentiary seven out of
thirty head were killed as diseased
and at the hospital for the insane
twelve out of sixty were slaughtered.
The four cows at Gary were found to
be healthy, but the results at Plank
ington and Redfeld have not been
made known.
The significance of these examina-
lions grows out Of the unusual care
the dairy herds Of the htate institu
ton have received, and the question is
asked how many ordinary mich COWS
are healthy if those receiving unusual
attention are in part diseased. All
the COWS killed seemed healthy to the
ordinary observer, with sleek hair and
plump sides. 1t is understood the tu-
beculin test was chiefly employed in
making the examinations, and in no
case did those declared diseased fail
to prove the diagnosis.
The incident is likely to revive the
agitation In South Dakota for regula-
ton and examination of dairy cattle.
1t is a remarkable fact, yet well es-
tablished by Nathan Strauss in his
Investigations of the subjec, that the
finer the breed of the COW and the
better her care, the more susceptible
she becomes to tuberculosis. AS South
Dakota has been turning more and
more to thoroughbred stock in the last
few years, the condition Of the dairy
cattle of the state is source of
anxiety to the consumers of milk and
butter.

S. D. Farmers Near Watertown Are
Victims of SWindIer.
Several farmers in the vicinity of
Watertown have been victimized by
a man who says he is the state boiler
inspector, and who calls himself A. F.
Smith. He has visited various places
and has collected fees for the alleged
inspection of engines belonging to
farmers. One farmer, who last week
paid him 81, investigated and ascer-
tanned that there is no such office as
a state boiler inspector, and that no
state inspection is authorized by state
law. The result was that Smith was
arrested and bound over to the circuit
court in the sum of $500.

The other law which is to be car

before Judge Taylor in chambers for
argument on a demurrer to the com
plant
While the officials of the company

oped that the property was of i'm

holders, alleging the belief that fraud
had been practiced, became anxious
again to possess an interest in the

end in view, contendlng that the price
paid for the stock was far below it's

LoNG-DELAYED PROPOSAL.

French Story Of Note In Bouquet That
Was for Years Unanswered.
One of the longest delayed propo-
sails on record is related in French
story of shy young subaltern who
was ordered away to the wars. Not
daring to speak. he sent nosegay of
yellow roses to the girl he loved, with
a little note inside, begging her, If
she returned his love, to wear one of
the flowers ii her breast that night at
the ball. She appeared without it,
and he went away broken hearted.
Years afterward, when he was a
lame old general, he again met his old
love, now white-haired widow. One
day his old sweetheart gently asked
him why he had never married.
Madam" he answered somewhat
sternly, "you ought to know best. II
you had not refused to answer that
not IN the bouquet Of yellow roses
might have been a happier man.
The note in the bouquet?" she re.
peated growing pale.
She opened an old cabinet and took
out from drawer shriveled bou-
quet OF what had been yellow roses,
among whose leaf1ess stalks lurked a
scrap OF paper yellow with age.
See! never had your note" she
SAID, holding the bouquet up. eff I
had | would not have answered it as
you fancied."
Then answer it now" said the gal
liant old soldier.
And the long-delayed proposal was
accepted, at last.

Reports to the state land depart

lands in Miner county the receipts
amounted to over sixty thousand dol
lars, the average selling price Of the
lands in that county being $44 an
acre.

$2S6,396 in the Irvine plant fund; $685.
500 in the capitol building fund, and
S3O7,969 in the interest and income
fund for the benefits Of schools of the
state, to be distributed in June to the
different counties.
That real estate values are on the
up grade in Stanley county is shown
by many sales being made at about
$50 an acre, but the highest holding
for farm land near Fort Pierre is that
of the Hemphill place, six miles out
on the old Deadwood trail, which is
held at $50 in acre, and to show that
