Extension Out of Dallas?

The immediate extension of the
Northwestern railroad from Dallas, S.
D., on to the Black Hills is announced
in the current issues of the two Greg
DRY papers and two or three other
Rosebud papers, the newspapers bas-
ing their statements on the arrival at
Dallas last week OF a Northwestern
surveying crew from Chicago. These
papers state that the chief of the
crew admitted that the surveyors
were sent out to make the permanent
survey for the extension to the hills
1t is declared that the work will be-
gin Monday and that the direction to
be taken by the crew is anxiously
awaited as it is stated that there are
three surveyed routes west of Dallas
At the Norfolk Northwestern head.
quarters knowledge of the presence Of
the surveyors in Dallas was denied.
1t was stated that Northwestern sur
veying crew is at work on the Bone
steel line setting out stakes for bal
lasting the road. This crew, however,
has not been beyond Bonesteel as the
work of ballasting is not to be car
ried on past that town.
While all knowledge of any con-
templated extension at this time is
disclaimed here, it is not denied that
a force of surveyors from the Chicago
office might be at work.
While several surveys made in the
past have not been connected with an
immediate extension of the road, it
is believed that permanent survey
at this time would forecast railroad
building in the near future. In ex-
tending its line from Dallas the North,
western will connect with its Pierre
Rapid City extension This extension
is sure to come within the next few
years. Whether it comes this year or
next means much to the rival cities
of Gregory and Dallas, now the ter
minal point, and to the homesteader
and the Trip county townsite pro-
moters.
Some people believe that the North
western extension out of Dallas will

to County Supt. Frank Pilger and the

girl in question. She started to run
away ard he called to her She drop

men came in sight Clark was
promptly knocked down and then turn
ed over to officer Livingston. He had
been drinking.
Record Against Him.
Clark was sent up from Norfolk on
the charge of rape some four or five
years ago. The fact that he had
served time, it is claimed in his be-
half, has prejudiced people against
him.
The girl whom it is claimed was in
suited by improper advances on the
part of Clark is twelve-year-old Marie
McCombs, a daughter of William Nc
Combs She was at the east end of
the eating house about train time Fri

Lost by Other Diner

NEW YORK, Jan. Henry {.
Prince, one OF the diners at the Cafe
Martin. was starting to the street dur
ing the carly morning hours, when he
stepped on something soft. He looked
down, thinking h had come in con
tact with a woman's handkerchief.
when he saw q bill. Then Mr.. Prince
leaned over until he strained his waist
coat and grappled with the bill
There was more than one bill in
the roll. There were 20 or more.
Price counted them over and then
his eyes bulged rom his head like a
man choking.
He began 10 count again. and as he
counted he noted the denomination OF
each bill. He said, not in whisper,
but in a scream:
Five thousand, six thousand, seven,
eight. ninc-ten thousand dollars.
He had picked up a roll of bills
amounting To $4,000. He reported his
find 10 the cashier OF the restaurant
and then tucked his find into his trous-
crs pocket and made for home in a
cab
I'll give the money TO the owner,
said Mr. Prince.
The man who occupied the table be-
fore Mr.. Prince picked up the roll is
known tn the managers OF the cafe
He will be asked today If he dropped
some money
