THE GAM FUND
Minnehaha Comfy Issued Over Nine
Hundred Licenses


Sioux Falls-Nine hundred and
seventeen licenses to hunt game
birds have been issued by the county
treasurer Of this county, this year, aud
of that total number, only two OF the
applicants were non-residents, show
ing that the most of the shooting in
this part of the state has been done
this year by local sportsmen and that
the game law, which is intended to
conserve the game for men who are
reasonable and do o hunt for the
market, is working well.
The abundance Of game this e ol
is indicated by the fact that while
the number of birds which each hun
ter may kill in a day is lmited by law
to twenty, nearly every Il of the
nine hundred and more persons who
have taken out license to shoot, say
that they have all the game they
wanted.
If each one OF them has slain the
limit in the number of birds, twenty,
the total number of ducks and g csc
which have fallen before the unerTing
am Of local nimrOds, sine the sea-
son opened, is 1880, providing each
license holder was out for but one
day.
When the number of birds which
are shot at and missed and the num-
Der winch are not fired upon at all, are
taken into consideration, the vast
number of ducks and geese VIII Oh pass
over this section Of earth in the sea-
son of flight, may be realized.
If only half the hunters succee led
in killing the limited number, the to-
tai of water fowl would still be al
most past comprehension.

SOMETHING
Sulphur Smudge and Revolver Starts
Trouble at Platte

iOublc at ioltC
Platte-Considerable int rest is be,
ing taken in the preliminary hearing
of Henry Hodges and c. e. BransOn,
prominent res dents Of this place,
who are under bonds on the seri-
Gus charge of assault with a danger
Gus weapon with intentn to commit
murder. The preliminary hearing Of
the two men will be held today.
The trouble between the two men
grew out of the building Of a house
by Mr.. BransOn for Mr.. Hodges.
Hodges claims the house was not aC-
cording to contract and refused 10
accept it. Himself and family were
living in the basement. Branson
sought to drive Hodges and mis- fam
lily from the house, which was erect
ed on Hodges land, but Hodges re-
fused and told RransOn to move the
house off his (Hodges') land. 1t Is
alleged that Branson, after declaring
that he would get the bed bugs out
of the house" went to the building
and ignited a can of sulphur on the
inside. Almost Immediately. there WIS
q revolver shot, Hodges claiming that
he shot at the a OF sulphur. 1t
is alleged that Branson then fired two
into the rooms occupied by
Hedes and his family, both bullets
going wild. The arrest of the two
men followed.

Custer-Aat a small settlement
known as Four Miles not far from he e,
Jake Oinas, a Finlander miner and
prospector, who has long been a resi-
dent of this county, met his death
alone in his cabin, being incirecated
in a fire that followed an explosion,
while he was asleer. Oinas lived alone
and for some years had been drinking
heavily, several times upsetting a
lamp in his cabin and causing a fire
that nearly resulted in his death.
Each time he was discovered in time.
On this occasion neighbors came upon
the smoking ruins OF his cabin and
notified Coroner McFadden, who in
v~estigated and found the charred re-
mains OF the old man where he had
apparently fallen in a stupor. BIS d,
him lay a partly filed bottle Of whis-
ky. Cinas had a father living in Fin
land, but no other known relatives.

Mitchell Protests

Mitchell-Statements have been sent
out from several towns which are
candidates for the location of the
Methodist hospital which matter Is 70
be presented at the conference in
this city next week in which an in
justice was done Mitchell, n Of the
aspirants for the hospital. 1t was
stated in a Huron dispatch that the
Methodists Of Mitchell had withdrawn
from the race, and that they had
thrown their support to Huron. The
statement was made without the least
authority from the Methodists Of this
city and was wholly an assumption
on the part of the Huron writer.
Mitchell is in the race to remain until
the hospital is located at some point
in the state, although there Is not
much probability of its being done at
this session of the conference.

CHARITIES BOARD
BIENNIAL REPORT TO THE Gov
ERNOR RELATING TO IN
STlTUTlONS MADE
HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE
Over One and a Half Millions are In
vested in Penal and Charitable
Properties the Greater
Part at Yankton

Pierre-The board Of charities and
corrections have filed their biennial
report with the governor, which goes
into detail in regard to the manage
ment and operation Of the different
institutions under care OF that body.
The only new institution which has
been placed under their care for the
year IS the hospital for t~ubercular
patients al Custer. While the last
legislative session made provision for
such an institution, on account of the
trouble Of the board in securing title
to a tract of land which was consider
ed sufficient for the needs of the in
stitution, nothing was done until this
summer, when after the people of Gus
ter had donated a site the board pro-
ceeded to get the institution in sha e
for handling patients. A SupeTintend-
ent was chosen and the erection of the
building begun. AS but five thousand
dollars was appropriated for building
the construction work will not e ex-
tensive for this year, and will likely
be more in the way of detached cot
tages, at all times than any attempt
at a large central home.
The board shows that the state has
property interests in the var GUS in
situations under their care Of over a
million and half dollars. In detail
the list shown is as follows:
Training school at planAin-
ton Slld,I'O
Blind asylum at Gary 1890. 41,100
Deaf Mute school at Sioux
Fails 81 HRI
Penitentiary at Sioux Falls 291 2G3
Insane hospital at YanktOn. SIS lo
Northern hospital at RedAeld 2l5,Sy5
This property valuation includes
both the bu ldings and the raa prop
erty which is connected with them. On
the buildings the state is carrying in
surance to the amount Of $608, 500.
The board gives a strong endorse
ment to the work of the ChildTen's
Home at Sioux Falls, which, while
not a state institution, is kept under
view by the board. They also rec
ommend that the next Iegislatiy e SEES
sion enact a law requiring that every
county jail, county pOOrhOuse. or
county farm, be inspected by some
authOritiyc body, not less than on G
a year. and that the inspecting LOdy
be given power to require such
remedial methods as may &c deman1-
ed for such institutions. The report
VIII oh is a long one overs all the de-
tails Of management of the di Eerent
institutions under care of the boaTd.
