There was not so much shooting as
the night before, but the troublemak-
ers were more r%uffianly in handling
carmen. particularly some who were
dragged from their cars.
The street car company brought in
a force of detectives in an effort to
%apprehend those guilty of stoning and
shooting at cars. 1t was announced
at the company's office that a lockout
had been decided upon, effective at
10 a. m. Monday.
Mayor Marshall said that he would
not call for troops again. Gov. Hair
mon, when asked about the probability
of trops returning, refused to make a
statement.
The total number of persons injured
in the rioting was %; the number Of
arrests was II.
Thirty-ive out OF lao members of
the night police force rebelled Friday
night when called upon by Mayor Mar
shall to board street cars in an effort
to catch persons who have been at
lacking cars nightly with stones,
bricks and bullets. The mutineers,

OUR GAM LAWS
Warden Bancroft Makes Recommend
atoms in His Report

MISUNDERSTANDING that the South
Dakota game law has operated salts.
factorily during its first yea ending
July l last, and that the department
of game and fish accomplished much
more thar was expected by it's friends
the first annual report of the depart
ment has been completed by State
Game Warden w. F.. Bancroft of this
city and will be transmitted to Gov
erner Wesley.
The report embodies Mr.. Brancroft's'
recommendations to the next legisla-
ture. Several minor changes are de-
sired by tn department, the defects
having been detected in the first years
experience. 1t is urged that the ap-
pointing power of the county game
wardens be taken out of the hands of
the county commissioners and either
vested in the state game warden, OR
be made an elective Office. In many
counties county game wardens have
been lax In their duty and the state
game warden has no way to force
their hand as the law now stands.
The entire abolition of spring shoot
ing is advised. The Minnesota law il
cited as a worthy example, Better
regulation of SEEMING for fish, is asked.
The department wishes to stop all
SEEMING except such as is specifically
authorized by the state game warden.
FISH HATCHERY WANTED.
The warden says he is planning two
projects-1rst, the establishment of a
state fish hatchery, and second the IN
PRODUCTION of the Chinese ring neck
phaesants into the game fields of the
state. The state game fund will &C
cumulate rapidly at a rate of better
than 10000 a year. The department
wishes to use the fund for these pur-
poses.
There were issued in the state last
year 26,19s resident licenses, 1873 non
resident lcenuses for feathered game,
IL for big game, 81 for fishing, and
for trapping. From these the state
derived a net revenue of $14,642., OF
which there remains in the treasury
afr paying all the expenses of the
game department, including the salary
of the state warden, about $4,000
The nonresident license fees alone
will pay the expenses of the depart.
ment.
NEAR END.
No mention is made of the prairie
chicken proposition in which the
sportsmen Of the state now have the
greatest interest. The present law
ends the closed eason next September
and the 1911 legislature must make a
new provision. Concerning this Mr..
Bancroft says:
After having sounded the senti-
ment Of the sportsmen in every sec
ton of the state I find there Is a wide
difference of opinion as to what
should be done. Hence / did not take
the matter up. 1 will call a meeting
of the county game wardens in Huron
during. the state fair and will extend
the invitation to. all sportsmen h
wish to be present. There we will
thresh the matter out and decided, IT
possible upon what is best. l think,
however, that chicken shooting will
be permitted in South Dakota during
the fall Of 1911, as the birds are plen-
tifui, having increased very rapidly
this year. But it will be for a short
time only, probably for fifteen days.

deep interest throughout the state.
and especially in those regions where
the artesian pressure is greatly re-
duced by the large number of wells
which are drawing Upon the supply.
and there is universal demand for
statutory regulation. Professor Todd
long ago sounded an alarm n told
US that our great artesian
would be destroyed unless we drastic
ally protected it, and he drafted and
sent to the legislature a very wise
measure regulating the boring n use
of wells, but too many legislators were
enjoying the unrestricted flow OF
wells, and too many others were out
side the belt and not interested, to
get effective results. 1t is certain that
the public is now demanding legis-
lative action that will preserve the
pressure indefinitely.
The decision of the courts of South
Dakota on all questions affecting the
sale of liquors have been almost uni
formly restrictive. That is, in cases
where the policy of the law has not
been determined, and an interpreta-
ton of it devolves upon the court. the
view of 1t has been taken most favor
able to temperance. In this line is
the famous Hetland decision, which
holds that absolute prohibition is the
natural state, and that any departure
from it must be initiated by the liquor
men. That when the people vote Ii
cense, 1t is for but a single year, and
the privilege lapses at the end of the
year, unless the saloon men petition
a new election and carry it. There
are a long line of such decisions. Re-
Gently Judge Trip has added to {
by ordering the licenses of three sa-
looms revoked in Trip county, be-
cause they had been issued without
regard to the statute limiting the
number of saloons on a population
Trip. The law says the population
shall be determined by the last fed
eral o. state census. A federal OF
state census "a never taken in Trip
county. The commissioners, therefore,
held that they were at liberty to is
sue as many licenses as they say fit.
Judge Trip holds that in the absence
of a census it is the business of the
commissioners to get out and inform
themselves.
Friends of James Mclaughlin de-
clared that he was deprived, of his po-
sition as superintendent of the school
for the deaf because he failed to con-
tribute to the expenses of teh primary
campaign. AS his removal vas made
through a ~non-partisan board, the
charge does not seem to be well
founded. 1t has been understood that
while he was INDICATED in the recent
official Investigation of his conduct,
that the board has long felt that the
good Of the institution demanded a
change in the position.

NO. The sounding shad is a regu-
lar and welcome visitor who arrives
when the song OF the nightingale is
heard In h Surrey lanes, and the
liquid notes of the American tourist
percolate through the atmosphere of
bloomsbury. He is a fish-just a
thsh, but one of the right sort.

gambols just the same, and livens the
cold monotony Of our rivers.
BY day and night" we are told,
the saltations of the sounding shad
suggest tthe gambo1ings OF dolphins

To this merry fellow we extend a
cordial welcome, though we know
