Mitchell thought they would be mar

marry Plotner. There is every reason

A man giving the name of John

Iowa, is held at Huron awaiting instruc-
tons from officers in Sanborn county.
Pranke says he knew Gus Kraft, whose
dead body was found in a grove a few
miles from Woonsocket recently, and
also his partner, whose name is Charley,
but Pranke says he doesn't remember
his last name. He describes both men
and the two horses and covered wagon
driven by them and seen by people
near where the dead body of Kraft was
found. Pranke declares he could iden-
tify Charley, as he worked with him
and Kraft in threshing gang near
Croker, S. D., and knows when they
left together for Kansas.
The man arrested near the Nebraska
state line few days ago, suspected of
the murder o. Kraft, may be the
Charley wanted by the authorities, and
Pranke may prove star witness if he
can identify him.
Pranke says he knew nothing of the
murder till he read of it in paper Sat-

Last November the Dakota Central
Telephone company petitioned the rail-
road commissioner to allow raise in
rates of 81 month on all phones in
Tyndall, giving as its reason that the
local exchange was about worn out;
that it was necessary to make about
5000 worth of improvements, due to
the fact that the city was installing a
new electric light plant which would
interfere with and impair the efficiency
of the local telephone system; that the
stockholders were realizing practically
nothing on their investment. The
business men felt that they were
about to be held up, and accordingly,
after mass meeting. hired attorneys
to fight the case. After three hear
ings, in which the evidence was
threshed out before them, the COM
missioners have decided in favor of the
citizens.

Items of Interest From All Parts of the State

of CHAMBERS, the same law contains
provisions which will require wait on
the part Of claimants before they may
receive such compensation. The law
appropriates $4,000 annually for such
payments, but provides that there
shall be no distribution until the end of
the fiscal year, at which time the total
appropriation, or so much of it as may
be necessary be paid out to claimants.
If the claims exceed the money appro-
priated, the holders of certificates shall
accept in full settlement of their claims,
pro rata share of the whole amount.
If there is any surplus after payment
of claims, it Immediately reverts to the
state treasury. Another provision of
the law allows six months in which to
file claims, after which the claim is
outlawed. The construction of the
attorney general on the law is that no
apportionment may be made until the
close of six months after the end of the
fiscal year, to allow claims for horses
killed just at the close of the year to
be properly made. This means that
there can be no apportionment until
half of the year following the end of
the fiscal year has gone by, and the
holders of certificates must wait that
time before they can realize upon them
at any figure, and then accept what
ever share of the whole amount is due
