Express Companies Will Fight

The express companies that
operate within the state are going
into the courts to fight the rate
law, one of the few really good
enactments of the late legislature.
The companies, whose big business
is handled with a very light invest
ment, have SO far resisted all
efforts for reasonable restriction
in rates. Here's hoping they will
be sadder and wiser when they
come out of the courts, as one Of
them was when the treasury de-
partment at Washington corrected
one of it's little errors a few days
ago. The company charged the
department $552 for carrying a
bundle of checks from Minnesota
to the national capital. The de-
partment, we are told, laid Y dollar
and half on the counter and told
the express company to take that
or nothing. The company. carried
off the dollar and a half and said
nothing.

Killed in Fight Over Cards

The town of Dupree, which
aspires to be the county seat of
the new county of Ziebach, was
the scene of a man-killing last
week Tuesday, an unidentified
man being the victim of brawl
that was the outcome of a gambling
game.
The man, a newcomer in the
country, quarreled with Babe"
LaPlant, a we'll known character
of the Leslie district. Following
the row oyer the cards the strang-
er called LaPlant out and in the
fight the stranger was given a good
pummel:ng by his antagonist.
The man said he had enough and
LaPIant started to walk away,
when his opponent, regaining his
feet, rushed upon him and struck
him in the back. LaPlant return
ed the blow with one from his fist
on the side of the strangers head.
The man died within few hours
after the fight, and in the coroner's
inquest which was held the latter
part of last week LaPlant and his
attorneys were able to show that,
while the apparently fatal blow
was struck in self defense, it was
not in itself the direct cause Of
death. The stranger was afflicted
with acute alcoholism.

No Need Of Worrying

To show the people of this coun-
ty that it is not dryer here than
in many parts of Iowa we have
clipped the following item from a
paper published in northwestern
Iowa. The condition here at the
present time is good. The ground
is in fine condition for receiving
the seed and a little later when the
seed has been properly put in rains
will come and the grain will come
up and every thing will be lovely.
As the clipping says they have
not had good rain in the past six
months. The clipping follows,
read it: Nearly every farmer
we have talked with this spring
has asserted that there was no need
of feeling at all worried at the
lack of moisture in the. ground, ali
seeming TO think that there was
plenty to last until after planting
time. OF course, it does no good
to worry over the matter, for that
would not change the result, and
it is also a good thing to feel
optomistic, and yet we believe that
there are grave reasons for fearing
drought of no small dimensions
unless we shall soon have a change.
There have been no rains of any
amount for over six months and
but very little moisture of any
kind during that time, and por-
ton of that which did fall ran away
and did not soak in the ground.
The subsoil was dried out to a
depth of five or six feet last season,
and it will be found now that the
frost is getting out of the ground
that the winds we are having will
dry the surface very rapidly.
While the ground was frozen the
winds cut but little figure but now
it will be different.

During the last fifty years al
most everything has changed ex-
cept the procedure the judges
follow in the courts. They con-
tinue to harvest with a sickle and
thresh with a fail, while the far
mer uses the harvester and the
separator. Progress can be seen
everywhere except in the courts,
and there precedents, ages old, are
followed.

Bloodhound Was Poisoned

Mitchell, March 20. South Da-
kota is without bloodhound.
The hound which State Fire Mar
shall Craft bought a year ago, was
poisoned by throwing the animal
some meat containing poison in
midday. The hound cost the state
5000, and it has been the means of
tracking down several criminals in
various parts of the state. The
hound has been used in tracking
local parties of late who have been
mixed up in petty thieving, and
it is believed these parties decided
to get rid of the hound. It is not
likely that the state will purchase
another hound.
