Night Riding For Rustlers

Belle Fourche-Reports from the
Slim Butte county north Of here, tell
of the frequent losses incurred by
stockmen there within the past few
weeks of stock through the depreda-
tons of cattle thieves. Numerous in
stances of beef being killed and cart
ed away, have been reported to the
authorities in Harding county, In n
instance a whole wagon load being
hauled to Buffalo, Wyo., and sold at
far below the market prices. The
stockmen got together and formed a
secret alliance and have taken active
steps toward stopping the work of the
thieves. Some Of the old time vigilant
tactics are being employed night rid
ers from the Boutwell, and other
ranches being sent out on the range
where the beef stock are most expos
ed, and the stockmen intimate that
they will mete out summary yenge-
ance to the first thief caught.

grazing and meadow leases are given
any additional rights under the pro-
visions of the new law, and cultiya-
ton nuder the provisions of their
present leases is just as much a viola
ton OF the trespass laws of the state
as II they had no lease at all to their
tracts.
Along with the letter they are send
ing copies Of the trespass laws as
they now stand, and a warning
against violation of the same. All
leases which have been made in the
past hold Just the same status as they
have had under the old law, and there
VIII be no change in conditions before
next year when matters will be in
shape to practically take up the work
or leasing the lands for agricultural
purposes, and not unisl such leases

attempt cultivation Of the lands un-
der lease.

BOCCLE Up LAWS.
LAWMAKERS ARE BLAMED FOR
BUNGLlNG SEVERAL I'M
PORTANT BILLS
TOO MUCH RUSH FINISH
Large Part of Lawmaking Done the
Last Two Days Of the Session
and Oversight and Err
ror Crept In

Pierre-As interested parties begin
to dig into the laws enacted at the
last session, they are finding more of
the results of pushing overworked
clerk forces at the closing hours OF
the session to get out laws which
could just as well have been enacted
earlier in the session. But 1t Is a
natural result Of attempting to finish
up the work OF half the session in two
days time.
One of the laws attempted was to
Increase the salary of Superintendent
Mead of the insane asylum from $500
to $500. The house passed the bill
at $4,000 and the senate increased 1t
to the higher figure. This resulted in
a conference committee which accept
ed the figure fixed by the senate, and
the report of the conferees was accept
eddy both house. Bpt the law filed In
the Office of the secretary OF state
only places the salary at $4,000.
A bill was introduced to provide for
the deficiency in transporting prison
ers to the ~penitentiary, the amount
asked being just what was shown to
be due by vouchers filed with the state
auditor, and at the same time So, 900
was asked to meet such bills for the
future.
While that was the bill of which
the duplicate" was sent to the print
er, the n actually introduced as the
original" only asked for $4,000 addi-
tional and is $1,000 short on the de-
iciencies, and some sheriff In the state
who gets in late will have to wait two
years more for his deficiency and
there will be another deficiency to
care for in the same item when the
next session meets.
In providing for the salaries and
expenses of the judges of the newly
created eleventh and twelfth circuits
up to the first of July, an itemized
statement OF the needs was made. but
the total appropriated does not equal
the itemized statement, and these
judges will be short Of the amount
which 1t was expected they would
have when the bill wos introduced.
In another case there was a differ
ence on the emergency" clause on a
bill between the two houses. The
conference committee reported that 1t
should be placed on the bill and both
houses accepted the report and both
law filed in the office of the secre-
tary does not show any such append
age.
These are a few of the troubles out
side Of sending a bill to the governor
which W. passed the senate, but
they are likely only starters as to
what will develop later.

biscuit made from common alfalfa
from the big alfalfa show at the West
ern Products exhibition at Omaha the
last of January and myself and fam
lily tried to eat 1t and we are still
at the job. | very much prefer to eat
the mutton, beef and poultry made
from alfalfa to eating the alfalfa it
self. Man will probably never develop
a bovine stomach"
The past season we raised alfalfa
plants by sowing seed in rows with a
garden drill and %cultivating with a
wheel hoe, much the same as for car
rots and beets. The plants made a
strong growth and were dug up late In
the fall and are now heeled in out
doors with n over the earth.
They will be desirable for transplant
ing three to four feet apart each way
in good garden soil and should be
given thorough cultivation. This will
encourage the free production of seed
Transplanting alfalfa plants is moth
ing new as it has long been practiced
in parts Of India and South America.
In dry regions alfalfa seed is now
often raised in cultivated rows. Grow
ing alfalfa for seed and hay are two
different propositions.
1t must be remembered that a very
large number of different strains OF
alfalfas were found growing wild in
Siberia and / tried to secure them
from regions that correspond to the
various parts of the prairie northwest.
Some of these alfalfas, | think, will
be better adapted to the extreme north
than to the south. The seed gathered
on my last trips to Siberia in 1906 and
1908 was scattered in a great many
places from our Mexican boundary
north into Alaska. / had nothing to
do with this distribution as it was
done from Washington. However. l
have worked patiently along with a
small quantity Of each lot and am
ready to send out a few Of the best of
these for trial elsewhere. No seeds
can be spared, but plants only. Some
of the best of these alfalfas have been
started from a teaspoonful Of seed, so
that it has been slow work. The small
state appropriation will stimulate the
work as there are no federal funds
available for this purpose.

Morris Corrects Statement

Sioux Falls-A misstatement crept
into Speaker Morris review of the
work of the last legislature, which has
been widely published in the newspa-
pers of the state, in connection with
the good roads law. The bill goes
into effect without a vote of any
kind, July 1, provided that 1t may
be suspended in any one county by
the filing of a petition of ten per
cent of the f~reeholders Of said coun-
ty. When such a petition is filed, the
law is held up until a vote is taken
on it at the mex general election. II
a majority of the voters then vote
against its adoption it does not go into
effect at all in such county.

To Propagate Pheasants

Pierre-State Game Warden w. HI.
Bancroft did not secure the new
game law which he desired from
the last legislature, but he Is go
ing ahead under the old law, in at
tempting to secure new varieties of
game birds for the state, and Is send
ing out notices over the state that he
will provide parties who will agree to
care for and protect the birds until
they have had a chance to propagate
themselves, pairs of Chinese golden
pheasants. Parties In the state who
care to look after such birds until
they have become numerous enough
to place them in the list of game birds
of the state, can be supplied by noti-

kreiter Case al April Term

Aberdeen-It now is a practical
certainty that the trial of Mrs. Eva
May Kreiter will he held late in
April, instead Of next fall, as the
court decided last week. When the
states attorney last week asked for
a continuance of the Ease until the
fall term the attorneys for Mrs.
kreiter objected, and demanded an
immediate trial. This was refused
by Judge McNulty, who granted
the states attorneys request for post
ponement. Yesterday, States Attor-
ney Harkin stated he had secured new
evidence which justified an earlier
trial, and accordingly the court ey-
cused the jurors until April "a. when
the case will be taken up. The States
attorneys Office is extremely reticent
concerning the nature of the new tes-
timony. 1t is known that the stom-
ach OF Kreiter was sent away for
chemical analysis, and that an occu-
pant of the Kreiter house claimed the
dying man stated that his wife had
paisoned him, as well as stabbed him,
but 1t is not known what the analysis
OF the contents of the stomach show
ed.
The sudden ending of the Hubbard
Jackson damage suit by the summary
dismissal of the case by Judge Nc
Nulty on motion of the defendants
attorneys, ended the jury cases for
this term until April "a, the only re-
naming case OF Importance on the
docket being the Kreiter case.

A LAND LEASES
Holders are Cautioned Against Culti-
vating Lands

Pierre-The state land department
Is receiving so many inquiries as to
the rightes of leases OF state lands
under the provisions of the law, which
provides for the cultivation OF state
lands, that they are sending out a cir
cular letter to all holders of state
lands under lease, as to the rules
which govern. The department will
not make any agricultural leases this
year, as 1t will be impossible to get
the provisions of the new law into
practical working shape until too late
for the carrying on of agriculture for
this year.

son throwing the animal some meat
containing poison in midday. The

What Christmas Presents Shall I
Make?

This depends much upon the per-
sons to whom you make them, but
in more cases than you probably
imagine, no present could be made
which would contribute more to the
welfare of the recipient than a de-
post book in the Hyde Park Savings
Bank.
This Bank never declines a depos-
it because it is small. Any sum from
a single cent to a million dollars
will be received and per cent. in
terest allowed, compounded semi
annually.
Remember the Bank pays all tax
es and if the donor wishes to qualify
the deposit by saying it must not be
withdrawn until some specified day,
as for instance when the recipient is
10 or FL years of age, it is entirely
proper to make the deposit in this
way.
Let the pass book be accompanied
by a nice letter from the donor to
the recipient urging thrift and sug-
costing that this little nest egg be
added to from time to time as the re-
cipient has few coppers that he or
she can save.
We do not need to tell you about
the strength and solidity of the Hyde
Park Savings Bank, but if you
would like any facts connected with
the Bank, write the President, Car
roll S. Page, or the Treasurer, F. M.
Culver, and you will receive a
prompt reply.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The MikadO to be Presented at The
Colonial Dec. 14-16.
last week


1.-THE Mikado' or 1.-The Town of
Titipu'' a comic opera in two acts,
with words by w. S. Gilbert and mu-
sic by Sir Arthur Sullivan, which
will be given at The Colonial Thurs
day and Friday, Dec. 18th and 18th,
with a special matinee for the child
rem Saturday Dec. 18th, was produc-
ed for the first time at the Savoy
Theatre, London, March IA, 1885.
In this delightful opera there is al
ways something delightful happen
ing, from the instant the curtain ris-
es upon the court yard of Ko Ko' s
palace in Titipu, disclosing a COM
pany of mobiles, who explain that If
you want to know who we are, we
are gentlemen of Japan; to the final
chorus: For he's gone and married
Yum-Yum. 1"The Mikado'' is in some
respects the most universally appre-
ciated of any of the Gilbert Sullivan
operas. 1t is especially popular with
the Germans and its revival in Ber-
lin in 1907 was greeted with delight,
While it has to do with characters
having caricatured Japanese names
and stations, it is not too heavily
painted with local color. The text
is filed with charming wit and phil
osophy, and the music is bright and
humorous. Among the many pop
ular numbers are Ko-Ko's song;
Eve got 'em on the list" The Mi
kado's song, my object all sub
lime" and the duet of Nanki-Poo
and Ko-Ko, F'The flowers that bloom
in the spring, ira Ia"
If you want to do something to
make the children happy just give
them bumper houses on Dec. 14th
and 18th, and show them that in
their undertakings they are backed
by the citizens of st. Johnsbury.
