CARE OF INSANE
Minnehaha County Suing to Recover
From Estate For Care

Sioux Falls-States Attorney Dan
estate of the late Hattie G. Phillips,
this county.
The suit is for the recovery OF
money expended by this county, In
paying for the keep and treatment OF
the late Anna G. Phillips, daughter or
Mrs. Hattie Phillips, in the South Da-
kota state hospital for the insane at
Yankton from June 10, 1898, to June
80, 1905.
The claim set up by Mr.. Dantorth,
on behalf Of the county, Is based upon
that provision OF the law which states
that the state can collect the amount
necessary for keeping insane patients
at the state institution, if the person
committed is not dependent. Miss
Annie G. Phillips was not dependent
She had an interest Of about $4,000
in the estate Of her mother.
eff Judge Taylor Of Huron was right
in a recent decision" said Mr. Dan
forth yesterday, we cannot collect
any of this amount from the share CT
Annie G. Phillips in her mothers es-
tate. Judge Taylor has held that each
quarterly settlement, by counties with
the state, for the care Of their insane.
Is a settlement In full and if that Is
true, the statute of limitations
runs against all Of those payments In
this case, which were made during the
first six years Of Miss Phillips pa
tienthood at Yankton. We want q
ruling on that matter, however, and
have Instituted these proceedings to
discover where we are at, In such
cases."
The claim which the county has get
up against the Phillips estate amounts
to 1881 20, which with interest at the
| legal rate for the elapsed time,
amounts to total of $1,SO620.

DEADLY ANTHRAX
DEPUTY STATE VETERINARIAN
FINDS SEVERAL CASES IN
MlNNEHAHA COUNTY
FARMER And SON VICTIMS
Become Infected with Disease While
SHINING Carcases For Owner
Of the Dead Cattle and
They May Die

Sioux Falls-Dr. Craig. to whom DR..
Graham, deputy state veterinarian OF
this city, submitted samples of the
blood taken from the cattle that are
dying of some disease at the Bonacker
farm, southeast of the city, recently
made a psychological examination of
that blood and has reported that after
twelve hours Of examination, the spec
linen of blood shows the presence Of
anthrax bacillus, beyond any doubt.
William Kirk and his son, William,
aged 7, who assisted IN skinning some
OF the dead cattle, and who showed
signs OF having been iunoculated by
the poison, are under the care of Dr.
Schwartz in Sioux Falls aud are tenn
porarily Quarantined.
DR.. Schwartz says that shese per-
sons are certainly inocculated with
the poison and that it will either re-
suit fatally or they will ent'tsly re-
cover. There will be no after effects,
either way.
DR.. Graham visited the Bonacker
place yesterday and while he was talk
ing with Mr.. Bonacker two more cat
tie died. He has decided upon the
establishment of a strict quarantine at
the Bonacker place. The quarantine
will extend over radius of two miles.
The veterinarian has Instructed the
people who live at the Bonacker place
that every time they leave those prem
ises, they must wash their shoes in a
strong solution of lime, which will
prevent their carrying any OF the
NJ -i
Dr. Graham burned all the carcasses
which were left undestroyed at the
Bonacker place yesterday and vacci-
mated the cattle which have not yet
shown signs Of anthrax.
William Kirk, farmer, who contract
ed anthrax from the corpses of cattle,
which had died Of that disease on the
Bonacker farm, is dead from the eff
fects of the poison, The son is be-
lieved to be in a fair way to recover.
Mrs. Kirk was with her husband
when he died, but other members OF
the family did not arrive In time to
see the deceased before his death.
Mr.. Kirk, who was IS years of age,
has resided In this county since 1887,
and was one of Minnehaha's most
prominent farmers for many years
He was a man Of high character
and principles, sympathetic for thoss
in trouble and It was that very trait
which induced him to go over to his
neighbours, Bonacker, whose cattle
were dying with anthrax and see II
he could not save that neighbor a few
dollars by removing the hides from
those cattle, that the hides might
subsequently be sold.
Deceased is survived by wife and
three children. two sons and daugh-
ter.

THE PINE CONE HARVEST

Its appearance In this portion Of the

airy employment to many men, women

the year when bushel Of pine cones
brings more than bushel Of potatoes,
although this Is not new in other
states where the forest reserve work
has been carried on longer
Plans for the reseeding of the burn
ed and devastated sections Of the
Black Hills national forest are now
being laid by Supervisor Kelletter in
the northern half and Supervisor
lines, OF this section. This work next
year will be far more extensive than
ever before and consequently will
cost the government far greater out
lay, but the result Is expected to more
than pay for the cost in future tim
Der. This reseeding Will require an

certain seasons of the year, and the
work OF gathering cones gives oppor-
tunity for many people to make a
considerable sum of money. The gov
eminent will pay rs cents q bushel
for these cones If they are in good
shape and properly sorted and no
limit has been placed on the amount
to be purchased. 1t is estimated that
a wagon load of cones will be worth
from $50 to $40 and the government
figures on spending upwards of $780,
900 for the seed
Arrangements are to be mede at
keystone, Hill City, Custer, Pring,e.
Newcastle, Deadwood and other places
in and around the Hills to receive
these cones, and the forestry depart
ment is now encouraging persons out
of work and those who want some
easy money to seize the opportunity.
The cones must be carefully picked
as seeds infected by insects Or other
wise damaged will not be accepted.
Resorting will be necessary when care
is not exercised in the gathering. They
must also be delivered unopened as
the seeds frequently fall out when the
cone spreads out and closed cones lie
closer in a bushel

Hurley-The injustice which may be
done innocent. deserving persons by
a strict enforcement of the tmmigra-

of the children of William Pasoo, an
Englishman, who about one and one
half years ago arrived In South Ha-

his residence at Hurley.

money to send for his children. Some
weeks ago Pasco found that his saw
inss were sufficient, and he forward
ed them the money necessary for their
passage to New York, and tickets to
carry them from New York to Hurley.
Recently the children reached New
York, and there they were detained
by officials Of tn immigration bureau,
on the ground that they were not
provided with sufficient money and
had little baggage, indicating that
they might become objects Of charity.
A telegram was sent to the father by
the immigration officials, and in reply
a wealthy farmer named Zellhofer,
living near Hurley, by whom Pasco
was employed, sent telegram stating
that the children would be cared for.
The reply came that more reference
would have to be sent. Then John
Rundell and Joseph Watson, Of the
Citizens bank of Parker, signed bond
In behalf of the children and tele-
graphed the immigration officials at
New York city that the bond had been
sent to them by mail. But before the
bond could reach New York the I'M
migration officials placed the children
aboard another ship and sent them
back to England. The officials are Sc
verely criticised for not waiting until
the arrival of the bond. 1t also is
charged that during the detention OF
the children in New York, which ex-
tended over a period Of about ten
days, they were fed chiefly on bread
and water and given very inferior
