Some Class to the Ballot.

The secretary Of state has received
the sample ballots of the referendum
laws to be submitted to the people at
the November election. The ballot
without headline is six feet long and
ten inches wide, set in very small type.
To read it hurriedly would take rapid
reader about an hour. The constitu-
tional amendment ballot is about twenty
inches long and the same width as the
referendum ballot and will take about
twenty minutes for reading without
consideration, and the two will mean a
maze to many of the voters. The law
allows each voter five minutes to pre-
pare his ballot, including the genera
ticket, and it is up to the voters to get
posted before they approach the cleo
ton booth if they have any idea of
voting intelligently on the questions
placed before them.

Estate Must PAY for Insane.

A suit, the result of which may
encourage the authorities of other
counties to endeavor to secure the
recovery of at least portions of the
cost of maintaining in the state asylum
patients who ar. the owners of estates,
has just been determined in Kingsbury
county.
Recently States Attorney Warren,
of that county, instituted an action
against what is known as the Holcomb
estate to recover the cost to Kipgsbury
county of maintaining Mr.. Holcomb in
the state hospital for the insane at
Yankton during the past fifteen years.
States Attorney Warren now has been
officially notified by Judge TAYLOR, of
the state circuit court, before whom the
case was commenced, that he had
awarded the county judgment cover
ing the maintenance of Holcomb for a
period of six years, the judge holding
that the statute of limitations runs
against the claim the same as if it was
an ordinary account.

Items of Interest From All Parts of the State.

Sioux Falls OF John R. Allison, of
Mitchell, formerly a member of the
board of county commissioners of Davi-
son county. Allison is accused of hav-
ing made a criminal assault on Miss
Coda Palmer, of Mitchell, the alleged
offense having been committed in Sioux
Falls some weeks ago, according to
the complaint in the case. After the
complaint was made at Sioux Falls by
Miss Palmer, Allison left Mitchell, but
was located at Lennon by Deputy
Sheriff. Kelley, of Minnehaha county,
who went to that place and secured his
arrest, and then brought him to Sioux
Falls. AS the result of his preliminary
hearing before Judge Skinner, the
defendant was held for appearance at
the next term of circuit court in Sioux
Falls. Allison has been released on
bonds of $500, which were furnished by
prominent Sioux Falls and Mitchell
residents. Allison was chief of police
at Mitchell for time, and in times
past is said to have been prominent as
a prohibitionist in his home city. He
is married and has family at Mitchell

What Happened to Him.

j. H. Cramer, of Sioux Falls, passed
away at the family residence there last
Friday after peculiar illness. Some
weeks ago Mr.. Cramer left Sioux Falls
for North Dakota for the purpose of
purchasing some land. Leaving Aber-
deem he became convinced that he was
being trailed. After reaching North
Dakota, Mr.. Cramer went to sleep in
his seat in the coach. He awoke with
a peculiar taste in his mouth. That is
the last remembrance until he finally
awoke and found himself lying along
side the railroad track badly bruised
and shaken up. He finally managed to
reach his home in Sioux Falls but never
fully regained his senses. There were
periods when he would be himself and
he would start to tell of efforts made
to relieve him of his money, and throw
ing him from the moving train, but he
was never able to tell a complete or
connected story. The case is a peculiar
one. When he returned to Sioux Falls
the money that he took away with him
was intact.

An Ama1gam Thief Caught.

With the arrest of George M. Butler,
prominent jeweler, and his arraign-
ment before Police Judge Moore, OF
Deadwood Saturday. on charge OF
receiving stolen property, a theft of
considerable amount of amalgam from
xhe Homestake Mining company was
disclosed. Although the authorities
md the Homestake officials decline to
make public the facts until further
arrests have been made, it was learned
that six men, four of them employed
In the mills, were implicated, and that
confessions have been obtained from
three of them. All of them have been
examined by States Attorney Heffron,
and it is declared that Buffers arrest
under the laws requiring jewellers to
register purchases of gold was the
result of their stories, The specific
charge against Butler is buying seven
and half pounds of stolen amalgam,
for which he is alleged to have paid
$127. The thefts of the employees are
alleged to have covered a period of
three months.

Ask Pay for Prairie Fires.

In the United States circuit court at
Deadwood next month, case of much
Importance to that section will be
tried, involving the alleged origion of
many forest fires in the Black Hills.
The government has brought suit
against the Burlington railroad for
$42, 900 damages for the destruction by
fire on Labor day, 1908, at Galena,
near Deadwood, of over 1000 acres of
valuable timber on the Black Hills
national forest.
That the case will be bitterly con-
tested was made evident by the stub
born defense put up by the road in the
two similar cases brought by Charles
Krause and Geo. Benner in circuit
court at Deadwood in June.
The government suit will also be the
first one tried in the Black Hills city in
the United States courts in which the
double damage act is relied upon. If
the plaintiff is successful the amount
of it's damages can be put at $84, 900,
but it is understood that in such an
event the validity of the state statute
on the subject, passed in 1907, will be
tested in the higher court.

held by two homesteaders, are now
recorded as half section owned by
Mr.. and Mrs. Stonecyther.

Good Night For Snakes.

Aroused from his slumbers shortly
after midnight last Thursday S. d.
Perrigo, of Dallas, concluded there
were burglaes in the house. With his
elbow he nudged his wife and, awaken
ing, she listened. She felt certain
thieves were carrying away everything
in the Kitchen.
There was clatter of tinware in the
kitchen. Pans were falling and the
sound Indicated that tin dishes were
being taken from one place and hurled
into another. Climbing out of bed and
with revolver in hand, Perrigo started
on man hunt. Taking lighted lamp
along, he opened the kitchen door and
as all was still, he listened. Then
there was buzzing sound and he took
to his heels, retreating to the dining
room. Reaching what he supposed
was place of safety and looking
around, Perrigos blood ran cold at the
sight that presented itself.
From the kitchen, and evidently
attracted by the light, came process
sion of rattlesnakes-six of them-one
monstrous big one and five smaller.
Jumping from the chair and hurrying
into the bedroom and closing the door
behind him, Perrigo dressed, climbed
through window, secured club and
re-entered the dining room to battle
with the snakes. The lighted lamp on
the table enabled him to locate the
snakes and he finally killed all of them
without being bitten. The largest
snake had ten rattles and each of the
smaller ones five.
