IN A FOR A RUSH.

Huron-Inquiry at local banks con.
corning arrangements made for pro-
viding money with which to meet de-
mands for handling the large wheat
and other small grain crops now be-
ing harvested ELECTS the fact that they
are In splendid condition to meet all
demands that may be made. Some
preparations for this have also been
made by banks in various parts of the
county, and no fear is anticipated that
a lack Of funds will occur.
]. w. Campbell. president of the
First National bank and president OF
the state board OF agriculture, says
that institution is in splendid shape
to care for the business when 1t comes.
The large crop now being gathered
an this county will require q vas,
amount of money to handle, but 1t will
be on hand when. needed. The reserves
of the banks are being strengthened
daily as loans fall DUE" Other bank.
ers speak In a similar vein.

CORN NEEDS RAIN.

notwithstanding in the north
central portion of the state is about
half completed. Grain is in fine con
dition for threshing and the season has
commenced. Returns Of wheat SO far
reported r very gratifying. On the
Leach and Johnson farms adjoining
Redfeld wheat is averaging 16 bush
els to the acre, and others have re-
ported a yield Of twenty bushels to
the acre. On the whole the yield of
wheat is somewhat better than was
expected and the quality is fine. All
the wheat win grade No. 1.
Corn is in a critical condition al
most over the entire state and there
is great need for a general rain to
insure a generally good corn crop. Lo-
cal rains have helped in this particu-
lar, but a general rain is needed to
make a good average corn crop for
the entire state. The yield of small
grain other than wheat Is disappoint-
ing. There are occasional good pieces
of fax, but generally flax is a very
poor crop in this part of the state.

TAKES SENSATION TURN.

Rapid City-A local newspaper, the
Guide, claims to have information from
Sturgis that brings a sensational turn
to the recent killing of Attorney Dav-
i'd P. Thomas by Mrs. Mcmahon. The
Guide intimidates that an investiga-
ton is now being quietly made into the
deaths OF George Mcpherson and Mich
ael Mcmahon, the two husbands of
Mrs. Mcmahon. Mcpherson died
about three years ago rather sudden
ly and at that time was involved with
the government over alleged illegal
fencing Of land. 1t was rumored at
that time, but never thoroughly inves-
tigated, that his death was due to
poison, believed to have been self ad.
~ministered on account of his trouble.
Mcpherson was a wealthy cattleman
and his wife inherited a considerable
amount OF property from him. About
a year ago she married Mcmahon, an
old-time attorney. Mcmahon died two
months ago, also suddenly, and al
though there was speculation over his
death In Sturgis, no open charges were
made. 1t is said that friends Of Mrs.
Thomas, the wife Of the slain attorney,
are now trying to have the bodies of
the two dead husbands of Mrs. Nc
Mahon exhumed and submitted to a
chemical analysis, IL practicable.

HIT BY STRAY BULLET.

Sioux Falls-B. II. Greene, a promi
|nent citizen of Groton, had a remark
ably narrow escape from losing his
life as the result OF carelessness on
the part OF unknown hunters. Mr..
Greene was driving in from a trip 10
the country when he was struck by a
80 caliber bullet. which struck his
breast near his neck. He did not hear
the report of the weapon from which
the bullet was fired, but the bullet
had sufficient force to cut through his
outer clothing and strike a button,
causing a painful bruise. Had the bull
let struck an inch or two higher it
would have penetrated his throat and
caused death.

JUDGMENT AWARDED COUNTY,

A suit, the result Of which may en-.
courage the authorities in other coun,
ties to endeavor to secure the recov-
cry of at least portions of the cost
of maintaining in the state asylum pa.
tients who are the owners of estates,
has just been determined in Kingsbury
county.
Recently States Attorney Warren
of that county, instituted an action
against what is known as the Hol.
comb estate to recover the cost to
Kingsbury county of maintaining Mr.,
Holcomb in the state hospital for the
insane at Yankton during the past IF
teen years.
States Attorney Warren now has
been officially notified by Judge Taylor
of the state circuit court, before whom
the case was commenced, that he had
awarded the county a judgment GOV
ering the maintenance Of Holcomb fol-
a period or SIX years, the judge hold
ing that the statute of limitations runs
against the claim the same as if il
was an ordinary account.
In order to reach such a decision
Judge Taylor had to hold that each
quarterly payment made by the coun-
ty constituted a closing of the account
to that date. There is a fine point
OF law involved, and after States At.
torney Warren has an opportunity to
peruse the entire decision of Judge
Taylor he may decide to carry the
to the state supreme court, pre-.
liminary to making a fight to recover
for the maintenance of Holcomb dur.
ing the entire fifteen years.

CROP GOOD.

Late reports from all parts OF the
agricultural portion Of the state, and
early threshing returns, bear out pre-
vious claims that the farmers of South
dakota have reason to regard them
selves as being fortunate in this year
OF extremely small rainfall in most
OF the states Of the west. That South
Dakota will this year nearly raise
a normal crop of most grains seems as
lsured from reports which have been
received.
Even if the yield of some grains is
below the bumper yields of former
years, the crop in general, because OF
the comparatively high market price
a. present of most grains, will give
the farmers a evenu equal to that
OF former years when larger crops
were raised but prices were lower. Har-
vesting 10Y is compete in the great
er part OF the state, and in the north
ern portion is nearing completion.
Threshing has commenced in many
localities, and will be quite general
in the greater part Of the state by the
middle Of the week. Recent rains
have been of great benefit to corn,
fax and late potatoes. With favor
able weather during the remainder Of
this month harvesting and threshing
in the greater part of the state will
be pretty we'll completed by Septem-
Der /, which would be several weeks
earlier than during most past years.
