Falls, s. ID and Miss Helen Pearson,
of Marshall, MINI, both mere girls,
who were arrested by Police Matron
Roberts Wednesday, allege they were
victims of alluring promises made to
them by woman who now is in Jail in
Omaha on serious charges. The two
girls had been cumming in Sioux Falls
and were lured away from there by the
woman, whose name is unknown to the
police, and brought here, later being
taken to omaha, presumably to be
placed in an evil resort there. They
left Omaha when the woman was
arrested and had been here several days
before their arrest The Walsh girl
was taken TO her home this morning.
Arrangements are being made to send
the Pearson girl to Marshall.
The sheep season has just closed at
Belle Fourche, and ir has been the
largest and most profitable one In the
history of the market at Belle Fourche.
A total of over 100000 pounds of
wool has been marketed there at an
average of l215 cents per pound, or
total of approximately $450, 900 and not
single man who dealt in sheep this
season can tell q hard luck story. The
gain over last year is substantial one,
as during 1908 there was marketed
l $40, 900 pounds; in 1907 il was 1,75O,-
600 pounds; in 1906, 100000 pounds,
and in 1905, i,250,000 pounds. thus
showing steady increase each year.
Most of the wool was sold outright
there this year, only few clips being
consigned. Buyers from all over the
country made that their headquarters.
The largest amount of wool shorn at
any one place in that section was done
by the Mormon crew on Willow creek
at the Smiley ranch, where the men
from Utah handled over 10000 head of
Aieep before returning to their homes.

days announce the appointment of a
new district deputy, required by the
increase i'll business of the revenue
department The new deputy will be
located at Deadwood and will have all

This will divide the state into five
internal revenue districts with Offices at
Sioux Falls, Yankton, Webster, Dead
wood and the main Office in Aberdeen.
Also there are offices at Grand Forks
and Pingree in North Dakota, that
state being under the direction Of the
revenue Office located in Aberdeen.
Deputy Collector e. Huntington, Of
Webster, has had the country west OF

east side, but he will now be given ter
