Railway, between Lordsburg and Hachita in which four Mexican horsethieves were killed. From sreports they had taken two horses belonging to Sam Olney, who with Joe Olney, Sam Tyson and two others went in pursuit, coming up with the four men at the above place, when the fight started, with the result mentioned The bodies of the three men were brought to Lords burg and nearly all day yesterday lay on the trucks at the depot. One man .was still alive, but accord ing to the examining doctor, there was no chance for him to live but a few hours. There is much comment in Lordsburg over this wholesale slaughter, and it is presumed will put a stop to the stealing of stock along the border, for d time at least,

perhaps more graciously even than the
original first lady of the land" whom
for pomp and ceremony after she be
came Lady Washington.
The guests had a royal good time
being loath to depart even when the
midnight hour drew near. The af
fair was informal, all present visit

mice AND MEN,"

The Dramatic Club of the college
will present the romantic comedy,
Mice and Men," at the opera house
Friday evening, March 10. The play
will be given under the direction of
Prof. Powers and it promises to score
as big a hit as Twelfth Night" pre-
scented by the club last year.
The scene of the play is laid in
England in the year 1886. A philos-
opher by name OF Mark Emburg, a
man past middle age, is convinced that
the perfect wife should be trained in
simplicity from childhood to the ideal
of her future husband. The phil
osopher selects his ward and in put
ting his theory into practice is ap-
parently succeeding when his young
nephew appears and promptly falls in
love with his uncle's ward. COmplica-
tons arise and in the end Emburg
finds that his theory, while beautiful,
does not work out in every day life.
Following is the cast Of characters:
Mark Emburg-Fred Fromme.
Roger Goodlake-Elmer Sexauer.
Capt. Geo. Lovell-Dick Fridley.
Sir Harry Trimblestone-John Bal

PLANS FOR COMMERCIAL CLUB.

The committee in charge of the COM
mercial club proposition held a meet
ing Tuesday afternoon and several
plans were discussed. After a careful
canvas of the situation they are con-
vinced that the club cannot be made
a success unless suitable rooms are
secured and properly equipped, sc that
the social feature can be made a prom
inent one. At the present time there
is no available place, but in case the
new city hall is built quarters might
be secured there, or if the guard
gives up it's present home to go to the
city hall, those rooms could be Sc
cured. The committee went over the
list of business men and citizens and
find that there are more than a num-
Der who should belong to such a club.
On this basis 1t is figured that it would
be necessary to charge an initiation
fee Of ten dollars and dues Of at
least a dollar a month to properly
equip and maintain the rooms. There
is nothing that Brookings needs as
badly as 1t does a commercial club,
rot eve railroads, for X We had q
good live club the roads would come
as a matter Of course. and We hope
to see the matter carried through to
success.

BANK ROBBERS
RECAPTURED
LOTUS AND FORBES ARE AGAIN
IN THE TOLLS.
ARRESTED In TURNER COUNTY
AND SHERIFF HAlVORSON WILL
TAKE THEM TO SIOUX FALLS.

Tuesday night Sheriff Halvorson re-
ceived word from the sheriff of Tur-
ner county that he had captured
LOTUS and Forbes, the two bank rob-
city on the night of February 1.
Sheriff Halvorson left yesterday morn
ing for Parker, the county seat of
Turner, taking with him the commit
tai papers and it was his intention,
if they were the parties wanted, to
take them direct to the Sioux Falls
~penitentiary to serve u the %senences
which were given them by Judge
Seward at the January term of court.
No details have been received as
to their capture, other than that they
We're taken at Marion Junction, a
small station west Of Parker, and
about thirty miles southwest of Sioux
Falls. Sheriff Halvorson had sem a
description Of the men to the sheriff
of Turner county and it is presumed
that he picked the men up from this
description.
1t vas generally thought that the
two men would make for Sioux City,
but they may have feared detection,
as they were well known there. The
only trace Of them after escape was
found at Cotton, north of Sioux Falls,
and not far from the place where they
were r~ecaptured.
Sheriff Halvorson promised to wire
whether or not they We're the men
wanted, but up to noon today nothing
had been heard from him, so there is
a possibility that the sheriff of Turner
has made a mistake. Still it is hard
to see how he could mistake the very
complete description, including the
pictures of the two men. 1t might be
possible to make a mistake in ease of
one man, but if the description fitted
two men they are probably the right
parties.

MONEY READY FOR RAILROAD.

The local committee in charge of
the subscriptions for the new railroad
this week received a letter from C. A.
Magee, the promoter, written from
Chicago, in which he says:
Il have concluded all our deal for
the building of the new railroad to-
day. The bonds are sold, the ON
struction company has our contract
and l have pledged our deposit by
April 1. The engineers will locate the
line next week. Now will you have
the men in that territory all ready?
Well, we have our papers all signed
and complete contracts in hand, SO
The committee also received a let
ter from an investment banker in
Chicago in which the latter states
that he has entered into a contract
with Mr.. Magcc to finance and build
the road and puts up a 100000 bond
as surety.
The promoter seems to be taking
care of his end of the bargain all
right and it is now up to BrOokings to
do its share. The more the propo-
sition Is discussed here the more IA
vorable our people seem to be toward
it and it now seems certain that
Brookings and the country tributary
will do its share toward getting the
road.

is NEARLY

The state legislature will adjourn
next Saturday. There was some talk
of an extra session, but Gov. Vessey
is understood to be opposed to 1t and
it is not likely that he Will call one.
The college appropriation is still up
in the air and It Is not known just
what will be done with It. However,
what word has been received from
Pierre Is not encouraging and II
is feared that the special bill FOL
$780, 600 for an agricultural building
win be cut down considerably.
