since he took long chance in going
for the drive. Irvine brought in both
runs Cor the Colts By timely hits.
Ills double in the fourth, when he
scored Bigbie, was well worth three
bases, and he Was barely caught at
the third sack by quick fielding and
an excellent relay of the hall To Grif-
fin Landgran easily scored on his
long single 10 center in the sixth.
The Cots hit the bail hard Thurs
day and seemed 10 find the oppos-
ing twirler easy. Landgraf, Tiiman
and Irvine SECURED two hits each.
while every player with the excep-
ton of Messitt and Reyelle secured
one hit each. Brilliant fielding By
Baker and Landgrafr saved several
drives that would have been good for
hits.
Only two DaHriife players attempt
ed to steal second, and both times
the ball was waiting for them when
they arrived at the bag. Baker took

when their crippled condition is taken
into consideration. There have been
fw games in which the locals have
had their entire lineup. and II seems
that there Will be a number of other
games played before they are in their
best shape. The loss of one or more
players during the past several weeks
has proven n severe handicap. Vet the
Colts continue TO battle and TO win a
fair number of their games.
They are now putting up hard
night Tor second place. and may land
the place at the end of this week
The Truckers have begun to win

CONVICTED OF MURDER
BUT GRANTED NEW TRIAL

Vermillion, s. D., June miles
Swenson, 70 years old, a wealthy Clay
county farmer, convicted last October Of
numbering his daughterinlaw, Bertha
Swenson, at their farm house near AL
sen, Clay county, by giving her poison
on July Z, 1909, and the penalty fixed
at life imprisonment, has been granted
a new trial by Judge Trip.
Back of the events that terminated
In the death of Bertha Swenson there
stood out in bold relief the accusation
that had been placed against her by
her fatherinlaw of the theft from him
of $500. The old man had accused her
to her face, had mentioned it to other
members of the family,t and even to
neighbors. The loss of this money was
uppermost in his mind from the day
that he discovered that it was gone.
He had brought $4,000 in gold from
Beresford and hid it in an old granary.
He advanced the argument that some
member of the family must have stolen
1t; that if d robber had found the
money he would have taken the whole
thing. From that day until the trag-
edy the miser had dotted on the loss Of
his gold,

TRAMP FALLS FROM TRAIN
AND is CUT IN PIECES

Alexandria, S. D., June 1.-Carous
Hospelhaun, of Tiffin, Ohio, was killed
by the ~eastSCund passenger about two
miles west of Alexandria Saturday
noon, evidence indicating that he fell
from between the tender and baggage
car Roadmaster Mcmahon happened
to be standing on the rear Of the train
and noticed some of the mangled parts
and thought the train had run down a
hog Upon returning on the 3 o'clock
passenger, he watched the track closely
and discovered an arm and hand laying
beside the rails, so upon arriving at
Mitchell Immediately notified Coroner
Clifford, of this city, to meet him at the
scene Of the accident. They found the
body horribly mangled and strewn
along the track for about 60 rods, other
parts being found miles from the scene
of the accident. Coroner Clifford
brought the remains to Alexandria. A
c%oroner's jury returned a verdict of ac-
cidental death.
A. n. Rhymer, tenant on the F. D.
PeCkham farm, pom which the acct
dent occurred, noticed a man on the
back of the tender as the train passed
the buildings, a few hours before the
accident occurred.

FISH DAMS ORDERED
BY STATE GAME WARDEN

WATERFOWL, s.. D.. June Fish ways
will have to be built into all dams
across streams in South Dakota, aC-
cording to an announcement made here
today by w. r. Bancroft, state game
warden. Mr.. Bancroft will make a
test case of the situation at Sioux Falls
if opposition develops to his program.
The owners of two large dams across
the Big Sioux at Sioux Falls have been
notified that they must construct fsh
ways or fight it out in court. 1t is the
policy of the game department of the
state to keep the Big Sioux open from
the mouth to the source at the head or
Lake Kampeska. near this city. The
chief distractions are in the lower part
of the river, out the owners of dams
below Sioux Falls have signifed their
willingness to build the openings If the
Sioux Falls owners will do likewise.
. Similar action will be taken as to the
James river and all the other larger
streams in the state,

CHAMBERLAIN MAN LOSES
AUTOMOBILE BY FIRE

Sioux Falls, S. D., June 3.-The
courts will be called upon to determine
the responsibility for the destruction
by fire of a $4,000 Winton automobile
in the southern portion of Sioux Falls
The auto was the property Of eX-
Mayor James w. Sanford, of Cham
berlain, who came here with the ma
chine several days ago to nave it re-
paired. 1t had been placed in good
condition and Mr.. Sanford states thai
he left positive instructions at the
garage, where it was stored, that il
was not to be taken out unless he was
present to go with it. The machine
however, was taken out without his
being notified and he knew nothing OF
this until informed that the machine
had caught fire and been totally de-
stroyed. The proprietor Of the gar
age alleges that the auto had been lef,
with him for sale, and that as an
agent for Mr.. Sanford he had a right
to take the machine out or send it with
a representative. Prolonged litigation
In the courts promises to result.

Armour, S. D., June 3.-State Game
Warden w. f. Bancroft has been at
Lake Andes looking after the game
pirates at this we'll known resort. The
local warden has been unable TO cop
with the situation at the lake and out
side parties interested in protecting the
game fish have prevailed upon the state
warden to take hold Of the matter.
Fish are being seined M shipped from
the lake right along and the idea IL

effort will be made to place the lake
under the supervision or the state at
the coming session of the legislature,
providing a deputy whose duty it shall
be TO give his entire time TO seeing
that the game laws are enforced. IN
the state game fund at present Is $1G,-

STATUE TO CUSTER
RECALLS TRAGEDY
INDIAN MASSACRE
Michigan Honors Memory of
Man Who Lost Life in Little
Big Horn Country.

Sioux Falls, S. D., May 31.-The un-
yelling at Monroe, Mich.-the home Of
his boyhood-on June A, in the presence
of President Taft and other distin-
guished men of the country, of a me-
mortal statue erected by the State Of
Michigan to General George A. Custer,
will arouse new interest in the life
story and tragic fate of this popular
hero, who was the idol of millions Of
Americans, and all that a dashing cav
alryman and indian fighter should be.
General Custer met his death at the
hands of many Sioux Indians who yet
are living in the two Dakotas. The
Custer massacre was on Ian the COun-
terpart of the disaster suffered by the
Americans on the sea, when the bat
tleship Maine was blown up i'm the
harbOr Of Havana. A curious cOinCi-
dence is the fact that the loss Of life
in each of the disasters was practically
the same. ....
The Custer battlefield is situated on
the Little Big Horn river, in southern
Montana. This historic spot is the
chief attraction for sightseers who visit
thai portion of the great west. The
battlefield Will always be looked Upon
with awe as the visitors recall! to re-
membrance that 25th day of June, 1876,
when the brave commander and his
faithful troopers went forth to battle
with an overwhelming force Of blood
thirsty Sioux warriors, only to be the
victims Of a massacre which has no
equal in the annals of Indian warfare.
Reno Learns Of Death.
After being besieged on the bluffs
until the morning of the 9th. Reno's
and Benteen's battaliOns We're relieved
by the arrival of General Terry, when
they learned Of the disaster which had
befaIlen the gallant Custer and his
command. On the 2Sth the dead were
buried. ALL the bodies except a few had
been stripped Of their clothing. Nearly
all were scalped or mutilated in some
manner, but there was N notable eX-
ccption. that Of General Custer, whose
face and expression were natural; he
had been shot in the temple and in the
left side. The killed of the entire com
mand was 265, while the wounded num-
bered 81. In memory of the gallant
dead the government some years ago
erected a large monument on top OF the
hill neal where the bodies Of General
Custer and many Of his officers and
men were found, on which is engraved
the names of the dead heroes. On each
spot where a body was found a marble
headstone has been erected. a cross
marking the place where Clusters body
was found.
The extension a few years ago of a
railroad through the vicinity Of the
Custer battlefield renders it easy CT ac-
cess, and year by year the number of
tourists who visit the spot soaked with
the blood Of heroes, is increasing.

SETTLERS ARE HELD
UP UNDER INSPECTION
.. STATUTE OF STATE
Delays in Shipment and Cost OF
Inspection Turn Immigrants
Away From State.

Aberdeen, S. D., June 1.-Complalnt
Is made that settlers coming TO South
Dakota are not receiving a square
deal" under the provisions Of the South
Dakota i've stock inspection law passed
by the legislature Of 1909, as II Is en-
forced by state Inspector Hatterscheid
at Aberdeen. Many settlers are vexed
and indignant at the loss of time ana
money involved in the Inspection ana
some of the newcomers from eastern
states have written their reldtlNeS'
advising them not to locate In South
Dakota. In some instances the charge
is made that Aberdeen people are 10
blame for the alleged hold up
the trouble appears to be not WIN
Aberdeen people, who are helpless, nor
with the railroads, but with the state
law. One settler who was removing TO
a North Dakota claim from FREDERICK,
s. D, in this county, complains tnat
his horses were held "a hours Tor IN
spectiOn at Aberdeen, and he was com
PEELED to pay IS a head for the inspect
Ing. Notwithstanding that a govern
ment inspector is stationed at a
math, n. D, where his live stock must
again undergo a hauling over. A new
conner from Illinois brought with him
a certificate of inspection from an IN
spector Of that state, but it was not
recognized by the local inspector be-
cause it bore 20 seal. The charge
made here for inspection runs from So
TO So a head for cattle, it is asserted,
and S. a head for horses. In instances
where the hOmesteader has a large
number of live stock the tax is most
"burdensome. Aberdeen residents have
taken up the matter and efforts will
be made to remedy it, as it is feared
a continuance Of the practice will stop
the present tide of immigration into
the Dnknt
