TURNER COUNTY SHERIFF
OUTWITS TWO CRIMINALS

Parker, S. D., Feb. 15.-By a shrewd
scheme Sheriff Bailey and City Marshal
Wendt. of this place, frustrated an
attempt to release a prisoner in the
county jail. 4 friend % the prisoner
voluntarily applied foT lodging in the
Jail over night, putting up a pretty
smooth story as to his financially EN-.
barrassed condition and having no
place TO lay his weary bones. The Of
hcers permitted him to enter the Jail
on the understanding that he could
remain there until morning. The Of
fcers We're suspicious OF the stranger.
however, and that night, after the
stranger had been admitted, Sheriff
Bailey put a couple more men in Jail,
apparently as prisoners, but really as
spies. The two prisoners" in due time
pretended to fall asleep and when they
had commenced snoring the stranger
moved cautiously over to the first
prisoner, a man named Austin, who is
charged with the burglary of a store
az n last fall. and engaged him
In conversation In a subdued tone.
Enough was heard by the two spies,
however, TO prove that the stranger
and Austin We're pals, and that the
stranger had been implicated with Aus
tin in the robbery at Monroe. Ac-
cordingly Sheriff Bailey now has
lodged o charge against him and he
will remain in Jail and be tried with
Austin at a term Of state circuit court,
which convened in Parker today.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK
CONDUCTED ON QUIET

Deadwood, 5. D., Feb. 13.-Acting on
orders from postal authorities at
Washington, the local postmaster re-
fuses to give any information regard
Ing the success Of the postal savings
bank which was opened here January
|. II this way it is possible to keep
secret the facts from the public wheth<
er the experiment is successful or not,
During the month of January the
total deposits for the 4S postal banks
all over the country amounted to about
ss93, GGG, making an average or 81, 200
70 each bank. 1t is thought the de-
posts of the local bank is consider
able below this average. The fact that
entire confidence is felt in the local
commercial banks and that they pay
double the interest offered by the pos
tai savings bank, has caused little in.
.erest to be taken in the latter.

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 15.-Following ad
vices from Washington that congress
has given South Dakota a new repre-
sentative, Representative Whiting. or
Woonsocket. has prepared, and today
introduced a congressional apportion'
ment bill creating three districts.
No. l is to be all east of the Mis-.
souri, river and north of the south line
Of Bookings county; district No. 2, all
east of the Missouri and south of this
line, and district No. 3, all west of the
Missouri.
Lieutenant Shober has a plan which
would put Martin and Burke in tbs
same district. Through his plan
No. / would be made to include all
north of the south line and east of the
east line OF Hughes county. No. 2
would be the same as in Writings
plan, all south of the south line OF

Veterans Object.
The old soldiers are up in arms wei
senate bin 1S6, which was introduced
by the Investigating committee which
went to the soldiers home to look into
conditions at that institution. The bill
provides for a board of control or
which there need be no old soldiers,
and for q superintendent who need not
be a veteran. They do not like this,
but their main protest is regarding a
provision Of the bill which prohibits
the employment of any of the members
Of the home in or about the place. This
provision was placed in on account OF
the fact that the committee found that
the employment of some of the old sol.
diers was a constant source of friction
and jealousy on the part of those who
did not secure these small jobs. They
thought that If this cause of friction
was cut out there might be a better
chance Of keeping things running
smoothly at the home. But this pro-
vision, the old soldiers claim, is cutting
off from their numbers the opportunity
to earn a little money for themselves
or their families, and they will have
none of 1t without a fight.
h senate has put itself in opposi-
ton TO the farmers Of the house by
killing on committee report a house
bill to appropriate $2,5e0 for continu.
ing the farmers institute work for the
balance Of the fiscal year, which means
that the work cannot go on during the
spring months.
