PROSPECTIVE RAIL EXTENSION
Sphinx and k%ingsbury County Residents
Scent "A Room,

The knowledge that a stranger who
lis generally believed to have been in
the employ of the Chicago and North
western Railroad company recently
made an overland journey
from %Iroquois, in K~ingsbury county, TO
Doland, in Sphinx county, has caused
something of a boom in the territory
between the two places, as 1t is conf
IDENTIFY believed the visit means that
the railroad company is at last to close
a long existing gap by constructing a
line of railroad between the two
points. The fact that the stranger
purchased quarter sections OF land in
desirable locations at intervals of ten
or fifteen miles between Iroquois n
Doland presumably for townsite pur-
poses) adds further weight to the be-
lief that the extension is about to be
made. The proposed extension would
pass through a rich agricultural region
which always has been without rail-
road communication. When the ex-
tension Is made It is believed 1t will
cross the tracks of the Great Northern
railroad at Osceola, situated In the
northwestern portion of Kingsbury

SIOUX FALLS JAIL BREAK.
Two Prisoners Saw Their Way to Lib

The Minnehaha county authorities
are making every effort to recapture
John II. Larkin and Elmer Weight. the
former a state and the latter a federal
prisoner, who escaped from the county
Jail i'm Sioux Falls Wednesday while
a fierce dust blizzard was prevailing.
Larkin a few days ago was sentenced
to five years in the Sioux Falls peniten-
tiary, while Weight was under indict-
merit In the United States court on the
charge of p~ostoffice robbery.
That the two f%ugitives had help from
the outside is evident. One Of the cell
bars had been sawed clean off and an
outer bar bent downward. Two blan-
kets fastened together enabled the flu
gitiyes to climb from their cell on the
second fioor to the ground.
Larkin Is tall, being over 6 feet. n
has bushy, brown hair, heavily streak
ed with gray. He Is rather slenderly
built and his shoulders are stopped.
yoightis about S feet 6 inches in height
and Is dark complexioned. hich
brings his prison paiior into strong
contrast.
