The trials will consist of each dog
in turn giving an exhibition of handl-
ing a small flock of sheep, four or FIVE
in number, over a prescribed course.
This sized flock is considered much
more difficult to handle than one of
fifteen or twenty and Is therefor Sc
lected for the public trials. The per-
formances will be Judged by selected
men who have seen similar trials in
England or Scotland and the dog Civ
ing the most perfect performance in
points will be awarded the prize.
The course on the South Dakota
State Fair grounds will be over a
half mile in length, probably about
one thousand yards. The starting
point will be made in the center of
the race track near the northeast cor
ner. From that place it will extend
across the center of track and double
back and forth through the center
field until 1T end in the pens in front
VI SIduu sNdui' Inc couESe tuIOuSu-
ou5 its length will not be more than
f,et in width and will be marked
only by short flags. The Sheep will
be turned loose at the starting point
and will be driven by the dog along
the entire winding course and into
the pens in time not to exceed twelve
minutes.
The performance of each dog will
also include several maneuvers with
the sheep, among which will be one
that is called Shedding" This con-
sists of separating one sheep from the
rest of the flock, which is especially
difficult on account of the habit sheep
have of huddling together.
During the performance of his dog
the shepherd remains in one position,
which is usually about the center of
the course. A large part of the way
he is oGv Of hearing, but always in
sight Of his collie. He directs his
course in various ways, sometimes by
a shout or whistle, but more often
merely by a motion of his hands. Of
ten the shepherd will not say word
to his dog during the entire perform
ance except at the finish when his
exclamation of "clap" means to
"charge" and usually that the sheep
have been properly penned and the
work is over.
These trials show in wonderful de-
gre ,he quickness and sagacity which
the sheep dog possesses and the trials
at the South Dakota State Fair will
not only be exciting and enjoyable,
but will furnish a liberal education to
those who have to do with sheep
raising.

NO GAMBLING ALLOWED
AT REGISTRATION POINTS

Pierre, July 31.-At former land reg
istrations at different places in this
state, the gambling element has thirty
ed at the expense of those who gath
cred to register. j. w. Witten, the
government representatives in charge
of the work, is determined that this
shall not be the case in the registra-
ton tor Mellette and Bennett county
lands, and has called upon the state
authorities to assist in the work.
After conference on the part of
Governor Vessey and Attorney Gen
eral Johnson, they haye decided to
call upon the local authorities to use
every means to prevent gambling at
the registration points, and have fur
ther notified such local authorities
that any complaints in regard TO gam
bling at that time will mean the send
| ing of a spedial prosecutor from the
attorney generals department to take
up the matter of law enforcement,
and that the local authorities will be
held responsible for any failures on
their part which will require action
on the part of the state legal depart
ment, which may be caused by theii
failure or neglect to enforce gambling
laws.
In other words all the power of the
state executive and legal departments
will be turned loose on the situation,
where the local authorities fail or re-
fuse to shut out gambling at registra-

EXTEND Time
FOR BIDDERS
THE CONTRACT FOR BUILDING
NEW JAIL TO BE LET FEBRU.
AIRY s BY BOARD.

In order to permit the architect to
furnish additional contractors with
plans and specifications for the new
Jail, the bids advertised for the erac-
ton of the Jail will not be opened this
month. The board of supervisors
stated this morning that the date Of
opening the bids will be fixed upon as
Monday, February 6, the first day of
next months sessions at IL noon. This
was made necessary because of num-
Der of firms desiring to bid on the work
could not be provided with plans and
specifications in time by the architect
to secure the prices on materials, etc.
and turn in bids this month. The
board is anxious to give as many as
desires the opportunity of bidding in
order to secure the best possible field
+of builders to draw from when the time
of selecting the contractor arrives.
No other matters of import aside
from routine board affairs are being
given attention today.

At STREET CAR,
YOUNG TEAM RUNS DOWN
COURT HILL.

A thrilling runaway that promised
dire disaster to the driver Of the team
and the cargo hauled, caused consider
able excitement this morning about
1880 when the young team driven by
o. w. Baker tore down Court hill at
breakneck speed. having been fright
ened by street car at the top of the
hill. Fortunately Mr.. Bake, who
was in the wagon with two calves that
he was bringing to market, was
unhurt by the disaster that the wagon
met with when overturning in the
front of the court house. Neither the
calves nor the horses were hurt, but
the wagon was sad wreck. Mr..
Baker, the owner Of the team and
equipment resides on a farm near
Kirkville. He stated after he had
secured his team. which was stopped
at Washington and Fourth STREETS. that
he was coming along Court street
above the grade when his team took
fright at street car. The horses are
young and although he held with all
his might as the team plunged
down the steep hill, he was unable to
check their mad race Stacking
slightly as they neared the city park,
the wagon struck one of the entrance
posts of the park and the team ,severv-
ing tipped the wagon which fell over
throwing Mr.. Baker and his calves to
the ground. Bounding away the
horses were caught at Washington
street, having pulled the running gear
of the wagon asunder. One OF the
calves took French leave and wandered
off in search of more peaceful pastures
than afforded by the city park
