Horse Rustling Not Popular

Pierre, Sept. 30-Sheriff Coyne of
Stanley county went down onto the
Pine Ridge reservation and captur-
ed and brought to Fort Pierre,
Philo Stephens, who has been
wanted in this county for more than
two years. Stephens was bound
over on a charge of cattle rustling,
and gave bond, but failed to show
up at the term of circuit court in
which he was to answer. Ever
since that time he has been playing
hide and seek with the officers in
the breaks along White river in the
southwestern part of Stanley coun-
ty. Several times he has beeu in
the custody of ~constables. but has
always been able to make his get.
away, the last time being only a
few weeks age, when he escaped
from the local lookup at Kadoka,
and at once made for the re serva.
ton. Sheriff Coyne was on his way
to Kadoka to secure Stephens at the
time he broke Jail, and soon had him
located near Cut Meat, on the reser-
walton, and going out to that point,
brought HIM in, and he is being held
for a hearing in the term Of court
in that county next month.

Cost of SiIage

The cost of filling the sjlo will
vary a great deal upon different
farms. The cost Of a ton of ensil-
age depends upon the methods en-
ployed in growing the corn and in
filling the silo. If a man is a good
farmer and raises a large crop Of
corn and the cost is based on the
cost of producing an acre of corn, it
will be seen that his ensilage will
cost a great deal less per ton than
the enSllage produced by his neigh
hor who uses a small amount Of
corn. Last season | saw one farm
where 8 acres filled a l00-ton silo,
while on another farm not more
than three miles distant 1T took 25
acres to fill a 100 ton silo. The
market value of the land was about
the same.
The variation III estimates will
not be so great if it is figured on
the basis of the bushels of corn pro-
duced per acre at market value.
Professor Mumford, of Illinois,
states that corr yield AZ bushels per
acre and worth 35c on the market
will give ensilage at $2.75 per ton.
In-my own instance, last year where
it took Is acres to fill two silos of
10 tons each, and with an estimate
of the corn at so bushels per acre,
at 35c per busnel, and with the
labor of filling extending over a
period of four days, and costing
$ll0, and allowing the stalks to be
worth 81 per acre on the market,
the cost of enSiIage per ton was
S 2.95. Mr. Rusk of Union county,
Iowa, produces ensilage at S2.49 per
ton for a l00-ton siio. Preseason
Hacker of the Nebraska Station
basis his estimate upon the cost of
the corn and states that en-
silage can be grown and put in the
silo at 81 50 per ton. Mr. Richard.
son of Scott county, Iowa, says that
it cost him for growing and filling
81 Is per ton.
| believe careful farmers can cas-
lily produce ensilage at $3.50 per
toll. figuring the cost on the mar
ket value of the corr if it had been
harvested and sold, and at this rate
it is one of the cheapest and best
foods in connection with alfalfa or
hay that can be produced in
the corn belt. Prof. G.. w. Pugslev,
Nebraska Experiment Station.

First Man Over Rockies

Helena, Mont, Sept. 30.-TO
Cromwell Dixon, the youngest ayia-
tor in the world belongs the distinc-
ton of being the first airman to
soar over the crest of the Rocky
mountain divide. The feat was &C
complished today in a Curtiss BIZ
plane and was witnessed by 10000
persons. The flight was made dur
ing Dixon's last exhibition at the
Montana state fair.
Dixon left the grounds at 2:O8
p. m. At 2:34 p. m. the news of
his successful landing at Blossburg,
eighteen miles, distant, was flashed
to Helena. Dixon was compelled to
land owing TO the breaking of a
wire on his machine.
Blossburg lies in a valley in the
mountains, and the treacherous
winds made it difficult to gain the
necessary altitude for the home
ward flight. The biplane started
from Blossburg at 3:16 p. m, ar
irving in Helena at 1853 p. m.
The altitude at Mullen pass, where
Dixon crossed the Rockies, is $500
feet. but to escape the winds he had
to ascend 100 feet. The distance
over the divide is eigteen miles and
was made from Helena to Bloss-
burg to Helena in twenty one
minutes.
Dixon is but 10 wears old and was
only licensed by the Aero club Aug.
81. From Helena he will go to Spo-
kane, and he will start from Port
land soon in the ocean to ocean fight
for the $50, 900 prize.
For his flight today Dixon was
paid with a prize of so, 900, donat-
Jed by Louis w. Hill, John Ringing.

ton.

SIX PATROLMEN
ADDED To FORCE
BY POLICE BOARD
Selections From Top Of Civil
Service List--Some Charges
Heard.

Six new patrolmen were appointed by
the police commissioners at their
meeting yesterday afternoon to fill he
vacancies caused by deaths and one
dismissal in the department. The six
new men appointed were from the head
of the lists prepared by the twill serv-
ice commissioners. They were John
Hagar. who was detailed to the Fifth
precinct; William F. Cannon, jr., to
the Fourth precinct; Charles F. Wild
man, to the Second precinct; Edwin L..
Binder, to the Sixth precinct; Frank A.
IO'Neil, to the Second precinct, and Jo-
seph B. Brady, to the Fourth precinct.
The men were given a short instruction
by Pre- sident Kane, who advised them
to use common sense and not be mis-
led by other officers, who would at
tempt to tell them what they ought
and ought not to do.
John w. Slowey, who for the second
time within a ear has been before the
board on a charge of intoxication, had
his case laid over until the full board
could be present Slowey at the line Oh
his suspension was acting as doorman
at the Second precinct. He was injured
some time ago when he was one of the
mounted men. 1t Is expected that on
account of his lameness and the IN
juries he received while on duty that
the board will be lenient and place
him on the retired list. Patrolman
John F. Gilday, who was charged with
being late with a duty call, proved to
the satisfaction of the commissioners
that he was doing duty and the charge
| against him was dismissed. John b.
| Heitzenroeder of the same precinct was
fined one days pay for being late with
a pull.
Gustave Kaiser, a special policeman
was before the board on charges OF
assault preferred by Morris Friedman
who alleged that the officer abused him
The board decided TO await the actor
of the grand jury, which also has the
matter up for consideration. The
Board of Trade sent a letter petition
ing the commissioners to see that al
unnecessary noises be stopped and tina
better care be taken in regard to stray
/ dogs. The letter was referred 10 th'
chief.
The name of Sergeant Joseph Fagar
was placed on the meritorious roll, OF
the recommendation of Chief Corpist
Pagan arrested John Wilkinson, rhi
alleged key-man, who was sentenced
to fourteen years, being an old-timel
and confessing to the sergeant to many
robberies. The name of Sergeant Cor
bally was not mentioned. although 1t u
known he assisted in the case, but dit
not happen to be present when TN

MRS. ALEXANDER SCORES
SNAKE HILL HOSPITAL

HoBoKEN. May 1s.-charges of ex-
travagance were made against the
board of managers of the tuberculosis
sanatorium at Snake Hill yesterday by
Mrs. Caroline B. Alexander.
Mrs. Alexander severely criticised the
board of managers because it does not
separate incipient cases of tuberculo.'s
from the advanced cases, which made
the %incipient patients so depressed that
they left the institution after being
mere u a short time and before they
had been benefited.
This. she said, was so true that the
only benefit derived from the sanato-
rum was by those who were in a dy-
ing coalition. She deplored the fact
that there was no place for the an
p~erintendent and nurses to sleep and
that last year twenty-three nurses left
the institution because of lack of ar
commodations.
