Town Marshal Held
on Charge Of Perjury
Official at GarretsOn, S. D., Arrested
on Complaint of Rev. Father
Twohig.

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., March 2s.-(spe-
cial)-As the result of recent occurrences
at Garretson the town marshal OF that
place. Soren Beck, was arrested and
brought to Sioux Falls on the charge Of
perjury, the complaining witness in the
case being Father Twohlg, pastor OF the
Catholic church at GarretsOn.
Following a snowstorm some weeks ago
the town marshal swore out a complaint
and caused the arrest OF the priest on
the charge OF falling TO comply With city
ordinances requiring that snow be shoveled
off sidewalks within twenty-four hours
after a storm. Father rwohig resisted tho
charge, and as the result Of his trial at
Garretson he was acquitted.
The charge of perjury against the town
marshal is based on allegations made in
the complaint against the priest Con-
siderable feeling has been aroused at Gar
retson and friends Of each man have line /
up behind him.

SHEEP-Ihe main phase of the trade in
sheep and lambs this morning was a
weaker tendency in the scale OF lamb
values. SUPPLIES were normal, but yester-
days ratio between the two general classes
of stock was reversed and lambs, rather
than sheep, made up the big end OF re-
ceipts. This change in assortment added
to bearish conditions in the east doubtless
caused efforts at cheaper cost In buying
circles.
Early I'm the session, various sales Of
lambs appeared to be steady or very
nearly so, unchanged prices applying es-
pecially TO handy offerings. Later, as a
result OF dull demand ana poor competi-
ton the trade gradually weakened to levels
lO9bc lower, closing on this basis. Extra
good western stock went at S62086.25 and
choice Mexicans sold at usual small
premiums. Shorn lambs reached $40 and
sheRrer lambs sold at $3.50.
Business In sheep was necessarily Of
small volume, owing to decided decrease
In shipments Of this description. Light
supply failed to sharpen the demand, how
ever, and various sales indicated a market
about 1o4lbo lower. Mexican ewes that
brought $40 yesterday, sold at A&, and
western would have to be choice to reach
N.S5. Best kinds OF wethers were quotable
at or near $50. Mexican yearlings, identi-
cal with the s5.75 yearlings yesterday, had
to sell at SEQ. which IL the extreme limit
In this branch of the trade.

arrived, a supply that Is numbered among
the heaviest of any single day thus far

wider than those OF last week, as was also

a. low figures. Long strings ranged from
SCOOPS, choice bacon weights selling as
high as $3.50
