HAY SELLS AT $50
A TON ON RANGES

Pierre, $. D., Feb. 5.-Reports
from the country north and
west of Belle Fourche, indicate
heavy snow in this state and
wyoming and Montana. Hay is
quoted at $50 a ton delivered,
and hard to get at that price.
The delivery Is what puts the
price up, as hauling is almost i'm
possible, and 1t takes several
days to move a load of hay only
q few miles, often requiring
several loadings to get II out of
drifts. South Of Belle Fourche
the conditions are not so bad, as
much Of the snow has disap-

MAY BE FIGHT TO
REMOVE COUNTY SEAT

Sioux Falls, S. D., Feb. Sit has
been many years since the older por-
ton of South Dakota has, been the
scene of a spectacular county seat fight,
but there is a possibility that such may
be witnessed this year In Hamlin nj
ty. Castlewood is the present county
seat. Years ago the county was the
scene of a hot fight. which resulted in
C~astlewood capturing the county capt.
tai from Estelline, which In early days
was the habitation Of Sam Il. Glover

who published the Estelline Bell.
Two years ago, when the South Da-
kota Central railroad was completed
from Sioux Falls to WATERFOWL. the
town of Hayti, Hamlin county. came
into existence. The railroad traverses
the center OF Hamlin county from
south to north, and Hayti Is near the
center of the county. 1t is going after
the county seat principally because of
it's central location.
A mass meeting of residents who ia
vor relocating the county seat has been
called.

Attorney General Takes Up Case
Of Inland BOatmen.

Columbus, O., Sept. I'm letter
70 Collector of Internal Revenue
Leech OF Cleveland, Assistant Attor-
new General John A. Album asked
by what right he arrested and caused
20 be fined % launch owners at Por-
tage lake early in the week
The fines which were assessed
against the owners amounted to $9,-
600, and although they have not been
paid as yet, they amount to more
than the entire outfit of launches are
worth.
Mr.. Album is of the opinion that
the collector exceeded his authority
1c the matter, as the arrests were
made under the laws governing the
great lakes, while Portage Lake is
owned by the state of Ohio, Is an
artificial reservoir and the feeder Of
the Ohio canal.
The charge placed against the
launch owners was failure to com
ply with the lake rules for having ex-
tinguishing apparatus on board, as
well as some other things which are
not required under the rules which
govern the navigation on the Ohio
reservoirs. The launches are said to
have fully complied with the require
ments laid down by the state board
of public works.

People Are Not Represented

An increased annual tax of more
than S1OO,OOO,OOO has been saddled
upon the American people through in.
creased freight rates within the last
few years without opposition by the
government. But this is not enough.
The railroads want still more revenue,
and as soon as the November cleo
tions are over it is believed they will
be allowed to boost their rates cou-
pie of notches higher.
The interstate commerce commits
sion is now going through the formal
procedure of taking testimony as to
the reasonableness of the new in
creases which, according to the esti-
mates of the commission, will swell
the annual profits of the railroads
$500 100000. There are high-priced
lawyers for the railroads at the hear
ings, and also an imposing array of
legal talent for the big shippers, The
public alone is unrepresented,
One fact that has cropped out at
the hearings is that the railroads seem
to have unanimously agreed that the
increased rates shall apply where they
will be the least annoyance to the
trusts and big corporations of manu-
facturers. The added burden is to be
laid on the little fellow-the merchant,
the householder, the fathers and moth
ers of the families, the country store
keeper and the farmer. Products of
the trusts enjoy striking immunity
from increases. This Is not hard to
understand. 1t is not easy for the
railroads to put an increased rate over
on the sugar or the steel trust. Such
increases would be fought tooth and
nail and probably defeated by coun.
sci for the combines who gather like
fEes about the room in which the com.
mission meets But 1t is easy money
to put an increased rate over on the
general consumer, because he isn't
present to enter objection, nor is any
one there to enter objection for him.
The interstate commerc commits.
sion declares it represents no one in
particular but sits as a judicial body
wholly, The result is that in many,
many instances the case goes against
the consumer by default.

DEMANDS
$4,000 Damage As Balm
Charging Alienation
OF Wife'S Affections By
ParentS.In.LaW

Coshocton, o., Sept. 17-Claud e.
a divorce case which has been pending
in the local courts over a year, has
brought a sensational suit for aliena.
tion of his wifes affections He claims
to have been damaged to the extent of
$4,000 by the conduct of his father
in-law and mother.in-law, William Bar
ret and Elizabeth Barrett. He claims
that they enticed his wife from his
home and ever since have prevented
her from going back.
1t will be recalled that Lillis Coch-
ran, the wife, brought suit in common
pleas court March 10, 1909, asking a
divorce on the grounds Of the exces-
sive use of intoxicants, gross neglect
of duty and annoyances caused by the
alleged failure of the husband to pay
his debts.
In his petition, Cochran afiirms that
he was welded June 6, 1903, and that
Oct. 16, 1908, while the plaintiff
was away from home his father-in-law
came to their residence with the pur-
pose of maliciously enticing away Mrs.
Cochran and alternating her affections.
After Barrett had succeeded in get
ting his daughter to leave home and
to stay at the house of her parents
that the father joined in all possible
means to prevent the young wife in
returning to her husband.
He says that he was led to believe
by the note that the wife left behind
and by the fact that she had left his
supper prepared on the table for him,
that she would soon come back and
for that reason he did not investigate
! her absence for several days. Then
he says he went to his father-in-law's
house and learned of the efforts being
made to keep the daughter from COM
ing back. He says that Lillis Cochran
permitted the plaintiff to bestow on
her all the attentions of an affection
ate husband and repeatedly addressed
him in endearing terms. He claims
that on the next visit, Mr. Barrett re-
fused him admission, ordered him to
leave and forbade him to return.
ever since" says Cochran in his
petition, "by promises, threats, and
predictions of evil, they have prevent
ed my wife from returning to me-" He
claims the older people have no just
cause for persuading their daughter
to stay away and ever since her de-
parture he has been willing for her to
come back to him. He says he still
maintains a household in hope that
she would return and he has repeated
ly invited her to do so, but on account
of malicious interference" she has
/ refused to do so.

COURT HOUSE NOTES


Adjudged Insane
Mrs. G. w. Garrison, aged about 20
years of Utica, was adjudged insane
in probate court Friday. Judge Sew
ard was on the bench. Mrs. Garrison
is the wife of one of the better known
doctors in this part of the state, and
she was brought in at noon by Sheriff
Slabaugh in an auto. She is a digni-
fled old lady, and her popularity is
that she refuses to talk. She was ac.
companied by Miss Kate Litzenberg
her nurse, who also went with her to
the Central hospital in Columbus later
in the afternoon.
|. The cause of her mental failure was
profound shock which she received
two years ago when her only daughter
died. A little later Utica was swept
by a great conflagration, and it also
| impressed her profoundly. While ques-
toned by the court she refused to talk
except to admit that she had cut her
hair off and that she had no reason for
the act.
Mrs. Garrison has two sons, one OF
them an editor in Utica, and the other
a banker in Thornville, Perry county
