A CowardIy Trick

When the officers and employees
of the Stock Growers Bank ar
rived at that institution to begin
their days work Wednesday morn
ing they found that some lowlived
miscreant had hurled a beer bottle
at the large plate glass window on
the Deadwood street side of the
building sometime during the
night with the evident intention of
getting even for some fancied
wrong by smashing the window to
smithereens He shot a little low.
however, the bottle striking the
window about II foot from the
bottom and cracking it badly ia
several directions, while fragm erts
of the missile fell all over the side
walk. There are those who be-
lleve that recent law brcake are
responsible for this act, but it is
hard to believe that business men
with property interests at stake
would stoop SO low as to desire
such an lynomlnlous revenge.
The coward|y cur who would do
such thing even to his worst
enemy would not have the nerve
to meet a man in daylight and ex-
press his opinion of him, and we
90 not believe that there is a bust
ness man in our town capable of
anything so despicable.
The bank officers very prompt
~ had a large card printed which
reads, "One Result of Law En-
forcement," and posted it in the
window alongside the break, their
Judgment being that the piece Of
vandalism was the work of some
degraded sympathizer while he
was under the influence Of some
of the stuff which has been caus-
ing SO much trouble. Fort Pierre

Railroad Coming Closer

The Belle Fourche Valley Rail
way company, q branch of the
Northwestern railway has filed a
resolution of extension of it's line,
from the present terminus in sec
ton %, township 90, to section
70, in township 8-14, the exten-
sion being about sixty three miles
in length. This will take them
over into the White Owl country.
by way Of Stoneville, the terminus
proposed being about six miles
north Of White Owl.
The papers are filed in the office
of the secretary of state today.
This put the east end of the Belle
Fourche extension IS miles east of
that town and a point 100 miles
northwest of Pierre. The line
will then run southeast no doubt
to Philip which is only sixty miles
eway. This line will be feeder
to the Pierre main line and will be
connected up with the Dallas line
and give the Northwestern a
straigt shoot from Omaha, Sioux

rich section of northwestern South

as IT the country is SO prosperous

nothing for an extension of the

Some slight sacrl'ice of this sort

said:
Although the actual work Of

The narrowing of Grain saves mois.
ture and kills weeds. Both important
things to do from the standpoint of in
creased yields. On first sight it may
seem that it will hurt the grain but il
so it is very slight. Experiment on a
field: harrow a part very thoroughly, a
part lightly, and leave a part without
any narrowing. Watch till harvest fol-
results. Grain can be, narrowed till
three or four inches high. Harrow when
dry. If wet the results will not be SC
good. It will hurt the grain more and
will not save moisture nor kill weeds
so well. A lever harrow is preferable
and the teeth should be slantine back
ward. Good results have, however,
been secured by using the harrow with
erect teeth. Department of College Elk.
