J. B. Hughes, one of the pros
porous farmers in Hancock pre-
cinct, went to Sioux City last week
and bought car load of cattle.
The cattle we're shipped to Tyndall
and driven to the farm Saturday.
On Sunday morning two of the cat
tie were dead and Mr.. Hughes,
thinking that the cattle had died of
the severe heat, had them skinned
and the carcasses were fed to the
hogs. Sunday afternoon the hogs
commenced to die and two more
cattle died. A veterinary surgeon
was called and he pronounced the
case "anthrax" and the farm was
.quarantined. This disease will
probably cause considerable worry
to the farmers living on Emanuel
creek, as Mr.. Hughes lives on that
creek and the germs might be car
ried down the stream.-Springfeld

In lines Of recreation there will
be horse racing, ball games, Sioux

sixteen moral, up-to.date shows
will line the Midway. The races
will be the best ever held in the

unprecedented. For instance, in

The Armour Herald suggests
that it would not be bad plan for
the democrats to begin selecting
their ticket for the next election.
Shades of machine politics We
supposed that under our primary
system "The People" made these
selections and the disgraceful spec
tacle of a few politicians fixing up
a slate year in advance would be
an impossibility. Can it be that
there lis still an opportunity for
machine manipulation after all the
reforms that we have endured?

SOUTH DAKOTA STATE FAIR

Dakota Farmer The co ming state
fair at Huron next month will,
without question, eclipse any pre-
vious event held in the state. The
exhibits in every department will
be complete and a great deal of ad-
ditional space has been added to
take care of the overflow. Many
new and commodiohs buildings
have been erected since last year,
notably among which are the beau
tiful Woman's Building and the
fine Stock Pavilion. tn this large,
we'll planned pavilion the Judging
will be done and visitors will he,
comfortably seated in the amphi-
theatre to view the work. New
cattle and horse barns have been
added as we'll as several more
buildings to house the sheep and
swine. The old "Woman's Build
ing" has been remodeled into a
poultry building and the old poul-
try building will be used to house
the dairy exhibit. Additional de-
mand for exhibits has necessitated
this enlargement in all depart
ments, growth that will be aston
ishing to last year visitors.
One of the features of greatest
interest to nearly all fair visitors is
the exhibit of the various classes
of live stock. In this particular
the coming fair will far distance
its predecessors. Every depart
ment will be filled to overfowing
with fine stock. Breeders from
Illinois, lowe and Nebraska, as
we'll as South Dakota's progressive
stockmen will fill every available
stall and pen with the finest dis
play of horses, cattle, sheep and
swine ever seen in the state. The
poultry building will be fully occu-
pied with the best there is in all
classes of feathered life. The bee
exhibit will also be an interesting
one this year.
AS means of advertising the
agricultural resources of particu-
lar locality nothing can excel
county exhibit, well arranged and
properly displayed. This year ff-
teen counties have already arrang-
ed for space for their exhibits and
several others are expected to be in
line before the fair opens. These
exhibits in themselves will reflect
to a marked degree the wonderful
resources of South Dakota soil and
cannot fail to impress upon the
eastern visitor a better apprecia-
tion of Dakota land.
| Several entries have been made
in the individual farm exhibits and
these promise to be an interesting
display of personal effort along
agricultural lines.
The exhibits in the machinery
department will be much greater
than ever before. Practically all
the great manufacturing concerns
have contracted for space and the
best and most modern machinery
for all kinds Of farm WORK will be

APPEALED TO COUNTY COURT

Some weeks ago Councilman Mead
ows was crossing state bridge in his
buggy. AT the same time moving
machine was vending its way across
and then came one Of. the Hawley autos
driven by Fritz Orr. A general mixup
followed, in which Councilman Mead
ows received few bruises and bal
temper; the auto bumped in the guard
rails and was put ont of commission.
As a result of the affair Councilmal
Meadows urged before the council that
the speed limit of autos be lowered ss
he thought they went too fast for the
safety of the public. In addition, h.
went before Police Magistrate White
and charged Orr with fast driving and
carelessness in handling his auto. The
case was heard the fore part of the
week and Orr was fined 500. He served
notice Of appeal and the case will come
up in . few days before County Judge

of Victor Amichaux. living west of

given careful attention, but the bones
refused to unite and the leg was taken
off above the knee at the Glenwool

g. 8. H. s. READY FOR GAME

The members of the Glenwood higil
school team announced last night at
the close of signal practice that they
were never in better condition for a
game of football and that they expect
ed to defeat their opponents Eagle
County high school-by a large score
on the local grounds this afternoon al;
2:30. The boys will all be given Il
chance to work in the game unless the
visitors show better form than is ex.
pccted. In case the Eagle crowd has
been underestimated. only the strongest
men will be played.
The following men will be played by
Glenwood: Reed. center; Mayes, left
guard; Gallo, right guard; Dickson an
Harris, guards; Coles and Weidenhan-
mer, tackles; Dickson. Harris and
Maupin. ends; Rohr, quarter back;
Hubbard, full back; Barrier, right half ),
Robertson, left half.
Thus it will be seen that Glenwool
will have fourteen men on the field
ready to enter the game in case of ac-
cident and that each member may be
given chance to work out against an
opposing team.

MAY GO TO RIFLE

Unless the Continental Oil company
succeeds in finding a place for its oil
tanks they may he removed from Glen
wood and taken to Rifle and in that
event the people of Glenwood will prob
ably pay more for their oil and gaso
line.
Some time ago number of Glenwood
people objected to the tanks at their
present location and said they were
dangerous. The matter was kept boil
ing until the city council ordered the
company to 'hike.' Recently spe
cial permit was given by Mayor Drach
that the company might move it's tanks
to West Glenwood near the home of
Attorney John l.. Noonan Mr.. Noonan
was no more willing to have danger
placed near him than were the people
OF tho southwest part of the city and
is said to have taken steps which would
result in an injunction. At last ac
counts all work was stopped in the
tank moving and the crew of men taken
to Pueblo, and unless some agreement
can be reached the next report will
doubtless be of the moving of the
tanks to Rifle.

CRUSHED HIS ANKLE

While returning from his ranch west
of the city last Tuesday afternoon,
Bart Petrini met with a painful acct
dent, which necessitated the removal
of his right foot few hours later.
Bart, who is n Glenwood saloon keep
er and owner of ranch west of town.
was returning from trip of inspection
with a party of friends in his buggy.
When nearing the Baxter ranch, bolt
which held one of the shafts in place
dropped to the ground, letting the
shaft fall against the horses legs. This
frightened the animal and it plunged
forward, tearing loose from the buggy
and upsetting the latter and spilling
the occupants.
Petrini was the only one to receiv.
injuries, and it is believed that in fail
ing his right foot was caught between
the spokes of the wheel and as he is a
man who weighs over 225 pounds. his
ankle was badly mangled. DR.. Clark
was summoned and the injured nan
brought to the city and later taken TO
the Glenwood sanitarium where an ex-
animation of the injury showed that
the foot must be removed, and this was
done Tuesday night

1t is reported that it is impossible

Well, you see they captured cou-
pie of cans of Van Camps pork and

tain the other day, and now Plumm is

Claims He Casts SIur on Citizens Of

That all is not smooth on the Gentry
trail that leads through Pitkin county
is shown by scoring given the learned
attorney from Meeker. who was last
fall elected for another term as district
attorney of tine district comprising Pit
kin, Garfield, Rio Blanco and Rputt
counties.
1t is true, the district attorney has
the right to refuse to take the time of
the court in trying a case if he firmly
believes the evidence is not sufficient
to prove the guilt of the man at bar,
but it is seldom that district attorney
gives as his reason that he cannot get
Il jury that would find defendant
guilty if the evidence justified such a
verdict.
