animals won in bets and purses in
their racing days.

for her owner and hackers i'm the ole
days and was valued at So when she

Acting on the suggestion of promi-

williams, the commissioner of immi-
grafton, is considering the question of
whether Won Arkovy is subject to de-
portation. Some of the Hungarians in
the city contend that he is an undesir-
able citizen and ask that he be sent
away. DR. Arthur Kozna declares Won
Arkovys admission that he served a
term in Jail in Europe for duelling is
sufficient TO cause his deportation. The
fact that he also is charged with car
rying concealed weapon in the form
of brass knuckles will be used against
him.

Asylum In Need Of Repair.

Pierre.-State Engineer Lea has
been several times called upon to ex-
anime state buildings at the various
state institutions, where the walls
showed cracks, and need of repairs.
The latest at the Redfield asylum,
where the supporting beams Of the
upper floors had to be braced up with
steel pillars set in the building to
prevent their coming down. This Is
said to be on account Of faulty con-
struction, in attempting to make the
largest possible showing for the ap-
preparations allowed. I'm the Redfleld
structure, the walls were four inches
Of brick, and the rest Of hollow tile,
such construction not being able to
carry the weight Of the upper floor
beams. The engineer recommends
something more drastic in the way of
supervision Of the construction of
structures at the different state insti.
tutions, before there is an accident
whicn will cost the loss Of lives.
