RAILROADS PLAN
FOR EXTENSIONS
SEASON OF 1910
Not a Mile of New Road in
Operation This Year, but
Much Grading Done.

Pierre, 3. D, Nov. 16.-While 1909
has been a year of great railway ac-
tivity in South Dakota, 1t has not been
a year Of actual railway construction.
With all the stir, A., year is likely to
end without a single mile Of new line
In operation in the state. A lot Of
grading has been done, however.
Everything Is In shape for a large
addition to railway mileage next yea
The Milwaukee road has rushed work
on ines west of the Missouri river in
territory which is to be opened to set
Element next April, and is in shape
where it can quickly get the lines in
operation for the handling of the new
settlers. The grading work is practi-
cally completed on the line from Mo-
bridge into the Thunder Butte section
of the state. On the Fox Ridge line
south Of the Moreau river graders are
still at work.
Plans Of the Northwestern.
The Northwestern road, while II has
been fully as active as the Milwaukee
In preliminary work, has not pushed
grading to such an extent as has It's
rival. Grading outfits are yet at work
on the line from Blunt to Gettysburg
by way Of Onids, connecting the Pierre
line with the Gettysburg extension. The
company is also pushing grading work
oi III ShltllSlOh cas- lIOIl IClIc
Fourche. Beyond this it's activity ap-
pears to have been along the line of
preliminary work in the engineering
department, getting into shape for real
active construction work next year.
The survey Of the line from Hitchcock
to Onida is practically completed. 1t
has also completed it's survey Of a line
from Iroquois to Doland. It has also
been active west Of the Missouri, push
ing Its engineering force east from
Belle Fourche into the White Owl
country, it having filed with the Sec
rotary Of state a resolution Of extension
from Belle Fourche almost to the east
line OF Meade county.
Minneapolis & st. Louis Active.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis, while
starting surveys west of the Missouri
last spring, allowed the work to lag,
until the Hawley interests secured con-
troll Of the property, since which time
there has been more activity. Material
Is being placed on the ground for a
bridge across the Missouri at LeBeau,
on what is said to be the coast extern
sion Of that system. Division head
quarters have been established at Wa
tertown for the pushing Of work.. The
company has also filed with the state
railway commission a plat Of an ex-
tension from Aberdeen to Pierre along
the old grade put In years ago.. 1t has
an option or the or de as a donation
in case 1t begins construction by mex
July.
The proposed electric line from Sioux
City into the state arnears to retain
some life, and the promoters, who are
securing rights Of way, say they will

of Union, Clay, Yankton, Turner and

Taken altogether the situation ap-
pears to be favorable for a great in
crease In railway mileage in the state

LIQUOR DEALERS
BEGIN CAMPAIGN
AT EARLY DATE
Begin Fight to Control Munich.
pal Elections and County
Option Contest.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 15.-Ready to
fight to the last ditch for the mainte-
nance Of legal right to do business in
South Dakota the Manufacturers and
Dealers association. representing the
liquor interests, has established head
quarters here with Edward r. Deidrich
In charge. Preliminary arrangements
are being made, first for the campaign
against no license that will be waged in
the various towns and cities in the
spring election, and later for the gen.
eral county option fight where the state
and anti-saloon league is the aggressor.
Speaking of the coming contest, Mr..
Deidrich states the liquor dealers side
of the case as follows:
1--WE will have the license question
in the several towns in the state to deal
with first. This will be during the
spring elections. We shall not be able
to devote any time to fight against
county option until after the other
question has been disposed Of in the
many towns in South Dakota.
There's going to be a hot fight next
all hi the question Of county OPP
tor is up, but I have no doubt as to
the outcome. The people who are stir
ring up this question for the second
time, however, after 1t was decisively
defeated only a year ago, ought to real
lie that when they cry out, out with
the saloons we can't put on our hats
and walk out Of the state like a
preacher.
I'VE have our capital tied up here
In breweries, saloons, manufacturing
plants of malt products, and brewery
n saloon accessories. We can't get
out If we wanted to.
But by repeatedly calling for an
election on h question they are hurt
ing us financially Every time we are
forced to expend a certain amount Of
money in the fight"

CLAIMHOLDER IS
STABBED AND Then
ROBBED OF $4,000
Assailant Throws His Victim
From the Train and Leaves
Him for Dead.

Sturgis, s. D., Nov. 17.-Stabbed
while riding in a freight car loaded
with household goods, ]. l.. Purcell. of
Huron, who was moving to a claim
near here, was robbed Of over $4,000
and then thrown from the door Of the
car while the train was under head
way, his assailant probably thinking
that his victim vas dead. Purcell got
up n walked several miles to town,
where his wounds were dressed, and
where he notified the authorities of
the robbery. There is no c1ew to the
identity Of the holdup man. but 1t is
thought that a gang of highwaymen
are operating in different parts Of the
Hills country, and a concerted effort is
being made to run them down.

Miss Ethel Smyth, an Englishwoman,
has composed a grand opera and she
haS been honored by its performance
before the king. Miss Smyth ia a
daughter Of General Smyth, one of the
heroes of the Indian mutiny. Most Of
her studying was done in Leipsic. There
h met Tschaikowski, who in OF
his letters expressed this prophetic
opinion: Miss Smyth Is one Of the few
women composers who may be serious
ly reckoned among the worker in this
sphere OF music." The first of Miss
Smyth's compositions was played in
concert in 1890, and her opera comes
after an interval Of 10 years. The con-
cert composition was a serenade.

FEDERAL COURT GRINps
OUT CRIMINAL CASES

Aberdeen, S. d., Nov. 16.-Frank Log
was convicted Of assault in the federal
court here Friday, but the jury rec
commended the lightest sentence pos
sible, the evidence not showing that
Log deserved a heavy penalty.
Some surprise was created also by
the returning of an Indictment for
murder against Louis Dog, Of the
Standing Rock reservation. Dog had
trouble with another Indian last Au-
gust and beat him with a club. He
was brought to this city and bound
over on q charge of assault with
a deadly weapon, and upon produce
ing bonds was given his freedom. His
victim died on the reservation two
weeks ago. and after the indictment
was returned, instructions were sent
to the agency to taxi Dog into GUS
tody. This will make two trials for
murder at this term, the other be-
ing that of Henry Gilland.

500 LINE SELLS TERMINALS
TO MILWAUKEE COMPANY

Aberdeen, s. D., Nov. 15.-From
sources which have little doubt Of it's
truthfulness comes the report that the
Milwaukee railroad has bought the
right Of way Of the Minneapolis, st.
Pau & Sault Ste. Marie railroad
through the city Of Aberdeen, and will
use the newly acquired property for
~trackage and terminals.
Nearly 26 years ago the 500
built a grade from Ashley, N. D., to
Aberdeen and expected to build to this
city. The purchase of the right of way
in Aberdeen is taken to NEAR that the
500 has abandoned any intention of
building here. 1t is now believed that
the Minneapolis & st. Louis, which
runs through Aberdeen to Leola, will
take over the Soo's III grade from
Leola to Ashley.

ROBBERS LEAVE NO cLEW.

Spencer, s.. D., Nov. 17.-No clew has
been found to the bank robbers who
a few nights ago attempted to rob the
Farmers State bank, controlled by F.
A. Gates, of this place. 1t has been
since learned that a gentleman living
across the street from the bank saw
the light from the robbers lantern, and
heard them discuss the details of the
robbery, but thought the wiser part
lay in keeping quiet. Aside from de-
molishing the outer door of the safe,
no damage was done and the only thing
stolen was the cashiers watch, which
the burglars found on the counter.

such provision for them. The wife was
very brave until night came, when ner
courage began to fail. After exhaust
ing every reasonable excuse for staying
up, h put the child to bed with the

after describing the physiognomy of

that only a few OF them had the char

they were small of stature and that in
some cases the American millionaire
