Trials of Discourse,

Editor The Washington Herald:
The rebuns and annoyances that beset
men seeking TO discover the poles Of the
earth are not uncommon to humanity.
They are part of the experiences through
which all explorers, reformers, and origi-
nal investigators have been required TO
pass. To meet these obstacles a brave
heart and unbounded self-reliance are
needed II it be true that faint heart
never won fair lady, II is equally true
that sueu negative character never won
fame that is sure and lasting.
one of the men identified with the early

Belle Fourche, S. D.. May n.-Circuit
Court Judge w. G.. Rice is holding the
May term ofscOurt here and Immediate
ly upon it's adjournment will start out
on his northern circuit trip. This cir
cult is one of the most remarkable in
the state, owing to the length Of travel
necessary because the railroads are few
and far between in that section. Leav-
ing here Judge Rice goes by train
around through Aberdeen and thence
west again to the nearest railroad
point to Bison, the county seat of Per
kins county. The distance is go miles
by railroad, but directly from Belle
FOurche it is about $50 miles. In max
ing this long railroad journey Judge
Rice passes through the home towns Of
four other circuit court judges Of this
state and through the district of a
fifth. The southern portion of Judge
Rice's circuit is Lawrence and Meade
counties, the entire circuit being 200
miles in length, north and south, and
100 miles in width, east and west, by
far larger than any other circuit in the
state.

Ex-CONvICT SWINDLES
ON FALSE pRETENSE

Sioux Falls. S. D., May 14.-During
the past two or three aayS & young
man named j. Hartman has been Wis
iting different institutions in Sioux
Falls, claiming that he represented the
Associated Press. The regular cor
respondent of the Associated Press
wired headquarters in Chicago and
received information which proved
Hartman to be an imposter so far as
representing the Associated Press was
concerned, An inquiry was set on
foot which revealed that the young
man only o N Monday of his week had
been released from the Sioux Falls
penitentiary, after completing a term
for forgery, committed in Brown coun-
ty. Hartman now has departed from
Sioux Falls. stating that he was en-
route for Mason City, Ia, from which
point he would GO to Odessa, Mimi,
and then TO the Twin cities. 1t is not
believed that his swindling in Sioux
Fails was of a very extensive char
acter. His scheme appears to be to
visit a large business establishment
and that he is going to give
the establishment a writeup for the
Associated Press, and then collect such
sums as he can from those who would
be benefited by the alleged writeup.

TO PRISON FOR STEALING
A HERD OF CATTLE

Sioux Falls. S. D., May 1.-THE
latest prisoner TO be lodged in the Sioux
Falls p~enitentiary is John Ham, son
Of Watson Ham, one Of the pioneer
ranchmen of the Missouri river section
Of South Dakota, and also of the
w~ealthiest men in the state. John Ham
will serve a term of three years for
the larceny of a herd of cattle from the
ranch of two Iowa men in Charles Mix
county about three years ago. The
case has been one OF the most bitterly
contested in the history Of the state.
When tried about three years ago in
the state circuit court of Charles Mix
county young Ham vas convicted. An
appeal was taken and since that time
the case has been fought through the
state courts and through the supreme
court, which finally affirmed the action
of the lower court, and thus remoV-
ing the last hope OF the accused man
being able to remain out of the peni-
tertiary. Thousands of dollars have
been expended in his defense, and the
best lawyers have done their best for
him. Young Ham stoutly maintains his
innocence, and states that when he
completes his term he will return to
his home on the Missouri river as "he
was not afraid to look any man in
the face" because, as he declared, he
is innocent OF the charge made against
him.

FOURTEEN GIRLS AND
BOYS ARRESTED FOR
STEALING FROM CARS
Wholesale Theft by Youths
None of Whom Are Over
Is Years Old.

Aberdeen, S. D., May 14.-TWelve
boys and two girls, the oldest not over
Is years and the youngest 8. have been
arrested for implication IN thefts Of
beer, whisky and canned goods from
cars on the Milwaukee tracks here.
Clyde Grinnell, aged 10 years, is the
leader of the bunch and will be sent
TO the state reform school.
The unusual connection of two girls
with the lawless act, which has baffled
the efforts of detectives to solve up to
the present time, was brought about
through the promise of the boys that
they would be able to secure good
things to eat. The feast. however,
consisted more largely of drinking
than eating, and the incident Of the
arrest reveals a species of crime not
usually found except among adults.
II is believed that the IA children
arrested are only a part of the juvenile
organization which started out to live
on luXuries without work, and the dis
covery opens up a new avenue for the
study of crime.

Rapid City, S. D., May 13.-Under

forgotten blue laws were strictly en-
forced by the authorities upon a de-
mand by the .efOrmers, Commission
er McElroy first proceeded to do away
with the slot machines and all gamb-
ling devices, quite a number being
gathered up and shipped out of town.
Then a number of negro dives were
closed, the occupants being ordered
out Of town with the alternative of ar
rest. Dope ficnds and the male
habltues of all questionable houses
were also given their walking papers
and the prOprietors of all night sa-
loons have been instructed that they

cuted. The question of license is soon
to come up before the board OF COM
m~issioners and they are expected to
take some drastic action in the prem
ises as the commissioners were elect
ed on a reform platform.
