Wild Geese Here Already.

Several of our people who are COM
PEELED to do great deal of driving over
the county report that they have never
seen ducks so plentiful as they are this
season. They also tell us that the
closed season on chickens the past two
years has so increased their numbers
that unless something is done to guard
against their depredations in another
year they will be so plentiful that there
will be no use of farmer planting any
grain.
One gentleman, who owns farm,
said he had corn field last season
which he was unable to husk as the
snow came on rather. Unexpectedly and
the drifts were so deep that he had to
let it go until this spring, and when he
did get to it he found that the chickens
had robbed him of great deal of it.
He also said that he had counted eight
coveys on his farm and that there were
nearly as many right around on his
neighbors' places.
Another thing that will bring joy to
the hearts of the hunters is the fact
that the wild geese are here already.
This is something which has not hap
pened before for good many years.
We looked around for some old-timer
to tell us the reason. Some pessimists
said it was sign of an early winter.
This we could not believe, so we finally
got hold of an old hunter ard he said he
had lived in this country since away
back in the early eighties and he had
only seen this occur couple of times
before and in each instance it was dur
ing years when the country in North
Dakota and Canada suffered from
drouth. He said that he believed that
these geese came down because of the
extreme dryness of the season in the
north this year, that the water in the
sloughs and ponds had all been dried up,

Prominent South DakOtan Tells

sive Automobile Tour

Frank Sears, one of the prominent
citizens of Webster, and member of
the law firm of Sears & Potter, with
Mrs. Sears and two children and maid,
arrived in Sioux Falls Tuesday evening
in their automobile and remained over
night, leavinr this morning for their
home which they expect to reach this
evening.
They have been away from Webster
since July rs, when they left that city
in their Chalmers-Detroit touring car.
They made the trip by easy stages to
Kansas City, Mo-, where they visited
with relatives and friends. He says
that the crop condition in Missouri and
Kansas is very critical. They have had
no rain for weeks and the country is
very dry.
He saw no good crops until he got
this side of Missouri Valley, but from
that point on to Sioux Falls there was
an improvement with each mile travelled.
He thinks the crops around these parts
are simply immense, especially the
corn. Sioux Falls Argus-Leader.

Brown County Surveyor Says
"Captain Myrn" Paid His
Bills PromptIy.

The story published in Fridays Daily
News from Webster regarding Captain
Fred Myrn, now claimed to be obtain
ing money under false pretenses, was
of special interest to County Surveyor
d. C. Washburn, of this city. The
Webster Reporter and Farmer in its
last issue humbly apologies for having
been taken in by the smooth talk of
the promoter, who claimed to be arrang-
ing for the construction of a railroad
from Webster to Fargo and Valley City.
Captain Myrn two weeks ago visited
the Reporter and Farmer office and con-
WINGED its editor that the proposed rail-
road was likely to materialize and that
his connection with it was an honest
and proper one, and that plats for the
route were filed with the auditors of
the counties through which it would
pass.
These plats were all made by Mr..
Washburn, who made several trips all
through the country to he tapped by
the new line, making preliminary sur
veys and rough estimate of the cost
of construction. The road, according
to the route selected by Captain Myrn
and Mr.. Washburn, would run north
from Webster to Rutland and Minor,
and about twelve or fourteen miles north
of the latter town would branch, one
running to Fargo and the other to Lis.
bon and Valley City along the Cheyenne
river valley. Only one difficult piece OF
construction work was contained in the
route selected, about ten or twelve
miles north of Webster, coming through
the range of hills there, and Mr.. Wash.
burn says that the projected route is ar
entirely feasible one. The estimated
cost, including rolling stock to begin
operating, was placed at Sc, 100000.
The method followed in the prelimin-
airy work, the crying need for road
through that section, and many other
features lent color to Captain Myrn's
story, and the announcement from the
sheriff at Hettinger, N. d., that he is
wanted for swindling is rather sur
prise to those who dealt with him. In
the preliminary work, which entailed
considerable expense, he paid his bills
regularly and presented the appearance
of what he claimed tobe, the agent for
a big eastern railway company DESTROYS
of getting into very desirable section
of the country. -Aberdeen News.

that there was little or no grain for the
birds to feed upon, and that they had
been compelled for that reason to start
south earlier. He said also that he had
seen it occur twice before and that
the birds did not leave this section until
late in the fall; until after snow came
in fact. "By the way" he said, eff
you'll notice the birds in their flight,
they are not 'honking' like they do
when they are on their southwark trip,
but they are just flying around looking
for fields to feed in unmolested."
1t really looks as though the residents
of Day and Marshall counties were
going to enjoy the best hunting this fall
that has been their privilege for many
years, and it has not been bad other
seasons.

Mad a Change of Name.

During the past week inquiries came
to Dickinson from the chief of police at
Webster, S. D., about railroad pro-
moter who was operating down that
way under the name of Captain Fred
Myrn. A little investigation showed
that this was C. F. Merry, wanted in
both Adams and Foster counties for
railroad promotion swindles.
The Foster county authorities appear
to be very slow. They wrote here to
have Sheriff WEIGH go after the man,
but it occurred to our sheriff that the
Foster county sheriff was the proper
man to do the job.
The Adams county people do not
appear to want Merry very badly. The
authorities there have recently sent to
this county for certified copy of Mer-
rvs SO, 900 bond, and as the bondsmen
are considered perfectly good that
appears to be all the Adams county
people want just at present.-Dickin-

POLICE COURT NEWS
Three Gentlemen Placed Upon
Bread and Water Diet.
LARCENY WILL Be UNPOPULAR
Three Cases of Petty Larceny
Brought Before Police Justice
Harris The Past Week. Con-
yiction Secured in all Cases

N1Sttoh SdSSS
During the past week the local police
force has been quite busy rounding Up
gang of petty larceny thieves who have
been operating along this line of the
Milwaukee. On Wednesday last an
attempt was made to break into the
cold storage plant of the Minneapolis
Brewing company, but after the out
side door was broken off the fellows
evidently were frightened away for
they went no farther. That same
night, however, the Hamm Brewing
company's storage plant was broken
into and two cases of beer taken. The
officers were notified and search dis
closed that the parties who had stolen
the beer had PLANTED" it under Pot
ter, Gsrrick & Potter's elevator. Police
Moore was stationed in a box car to
watch for the return of the thieves to
get their plant. His vigil was awarded
about three o'clock Thursday afternoon
when John Meyer showed up and picked
up a couple of bottles and was in turn
picked up by the policeman. He was
taken before Justice Harris where he
stood trial, was found guilty and given
five days on bread and water in the
county Jail.
The last of tbs week couple of gen.
tlemen visited Miller & Piechowski's
saloon and disposed of pair of three
dollar shoes for seventy-five cents. The
afternoon of the same day they returned
and this time traded new three dollar
hat for pint of alcohol. After they
had departed, the bartender thinking
that the men had been making some
very peculiar trades with goods if they
had been secured in an honest way,
gave the tip and his suspicious to Chief
Martin. The officer looked the matter
up and found the hat had been stolen
from Fiksdal's and the shoes from
Chilson & Haugen's. He then returned
to the saloon and the bartender assisted
him in finding the gentlemen who had
disposed of the articles and they were
arrested. One gave his name as Fran
els Smith while the other refused to
disclose his identity, and was arrested
as John Doe. They were taken before
Justice Harris. Smith stood trial and
was found guilty and drew sentence
of seven days on bread and water in
the county Jail. John Doe plead guilty
and received bread and water menu
for four days.

lust a Surprise.

On Tuesday Austin Smith, of Wau-
bay, hitched up his automobile and
started ostensibly on little spin about
the town. After driving a few min
utes he looked up Miss Winnie Hanna
and they decided they would drive over
to Webster "just for fun" as they told
their Waubay friends. Little did Wau-
bay people think that was the last they
would ever see of Winnie Hanna, but
such are the vicissitudes of life. The
young people drove to this city, visited
for an hour at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Grant Ray. and then proceeded on
their journey to Aberdeen where they
procured marriage license and were
united as man and wife. They expected
to make Webster on the return trip
that evening, but were overtaken by
the storm at Groton where they were
compelled to remain all night. Yester-
day afternoon the roads were suffic-
iently dry for them to come this city,
and they will remain here a couple of
days the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Ray.
Miss Hanna was for couple ofyears
a resident of this city, and during that
time was one of the accommodating
young ladies at the telephone central
office. She is very bright, comedy and
pleasant and has very large number
of friends here who will wish her and
her husband all kinds of happiness in
] their married life.
