troyed by fire at an early hour
Wednesday morning. For time
nearly all the buildings were consid-

ashes, and call came to the fire de-

goodly number of firemen hastily
loaded hose cart and hook and ladder
wagon upon fat car, and the switch
engine was mustered into service,
and ten minutes after the call came
firemen were landed in Fort Pierre.
But their assistance was not required
as the fire at that time was under
control.
The hall building burned to the
ground, together with outbuildings.
Upon the property destroyed there

Fort Pierre Fairplay: Elmer Ziegier,
who recently completed a term in the
penitentiary for the larceny of five
horses in Stanly county, made sensa-
tional escape from the authorities of
that county last Thursday, after having
been arrested on another charge involv-
ing the alleged larceny in 1908 of many
other horses.
Ziegler had been given his freedom
for short time so he could furnish an
appearance bond of $500, for his release
pending trial. He was in charge of
Deputy Sheriff Noonan. Riding past
the deputy sheriff on horse which he
had just mounted, Ziegler said:
"I'll go down and put him (the horse)
up, and then Wen go up there, - mean
ing the court house and Jail.
The deputy sheriff followed on foot
in time to see Zeigles put spurs to his
horse and hastily ride away. The roads
were too muddy for the deputy sheriff
to give chase in an auto, so he secured
horse Immediately and started in pur-
suit, but was unable to overtake the
fugitive, who now is believed to be in
hiding at some point on the Cheyenne
reservation.

IF LAND KEEPS GOING UP

Completed census figures show that
the value of farms in the United
Stated more than doubled in the last
ten years. Due to what? Increased
population and consequent demand.
Here are the obvious results:
If land costs twice as much, it is
twice as hard for poor men to get it.
And twice as easy for rich men to
monopolize it.
Higher priced land necessarily
means high-priced food.
Now suppose farm land goes on
doubling with increasing population
every ten years for the next half CEN
fury, where will it be in 1860?
But fifty years is a long time, and a
lot of things may happen before that,
you know.
