Another Banker Gone Bad

There is hardly day but what
the daily readers of the newspapers
do not hear of some defuncted
bank going to the wall from bad
speculations or the embezzlement
of the depositers money. In "A
Millionaire Tramp a four act
comedy drama, which is to appear
at the Grand opera house Tuesday
evening, Nov. 14th, we will have
the story vividly told of an un-
scrupulous bank president who
has been a rejected suitor for the
hand of his cashiers bride, plots
and plans to ruin and blast the
good name of the cashier by plac-
ing the crime of embezzlement
upon him and is aided by a willing
tool who has been clerk in the
bank.

Land Differences Settled

Pierre, S. d., Nov. 4.-Land
Commissioner Brinker has return
ed from the Hills country, where
he has settled all points of
difference with the government
forest service regarding the pay
ment by the government in lieu
lands for school land located with
in the reserve. Instead of sections
Is and 36 in each township as at
present, the state will be given a
block of land of equal size in the
eastern hills, south of Harney peak
and east of Custer. Mr.. Brinker
says that it will include some of
the finest timber in the entire
reserve. The state will maintain
its own forester, for which the
last legislature provided, who will
work in conjunction with the
federal service only in regard to
fires.

Resolution of Commissioners

The Midland Mail would like to
know why the county commission
ers passed a resolution to the ef-
feet that nc bills be audited or al
lowed by the board in any criminal
prosecutions or Investigations not
authorized or instituted by the
States Attorneys office, and so
would we. That the county dads"
have exceeded their authority is
plainly evident by referring to the
Code of Criminal Procedure, Sec
ton 92, which is as follows:
When an information. verified
by oath or affirmation, is laid be-
fore magistrate, of the commits
sion of a public otfense, he must,
if satisfied therefrom that the Of
Tense complained of has been COM
mitted, and that there is reasonable
ground to believe that the defend
art has committed it, issue war
rant of arrest.
Sec 80. A magistrate is an Of
ticer having power to issue a war;
rant for the arrest of person
charged with a public otfense.
Sec. 81. The following persons
are magistrates: The Judges of
the supreme court, the circuit
Judges, the county Judges, JUS
tices of Peace, Police and other
special justices appointed or elect.
ed in city, town or village.
This resolution was introduced
by the States Attorney and
through his counsel and advice it
was passed by the board, it's OBJ
ject being apparently to do away
with issuing of indiscriminate war
rants where the evidence was not
sufficient to support the case, but
the actual reason looks to US like
some one was attempting to get
corner on the Justice of the Peace
work in the county.

THERE WERE OTHERS DRY TOO
Past Dry Year Not Confined to
Western South Dakota
Alone

1t has been considered by our
agricultural experts and farmers
of the great Northwest that this
has been the driest season in the
memory of the present generation.
Some ''pin-headed" writer's would
have us believe this drouth was
confined to the Northwest Mon
tana, Nebraska and the two Da-
kotas, and especially the territory
lying west of the Missouri river.
If those ''pin-headed" writer's and
vilifying cranks (that rightfully
belong to the ananias club spoke
the truth, they should inform the
American people that this drouth
effected every state in the Union
from the Canadian line to the
Gulf of Mexico, and from the New
England states to the Golden Gate.
This being the case, it would be
quite a miracle if the great fertile
plains of the Northwest could es-
cape. If those leather headed
knockers would take the trouble
to inquire into the crop returns of
those so-called semi-arid states,
that they claim won't grow crops
without irrigation, they will find
that we compare favorably with
some of those states that hold their
land at 500 per acre, and if last
winter had not been so fine and
our snowfall so light, the crops of
western South Dakota would as
tonish those doubling Thomases
that lay awake nights concocting
plans to keep the poor renters of
Iowa and Illinois from Immigrant
ing to Western South Dakota
where they can procure a home
from $40 per acre and upwards.
The formation of soil is we'll
adapted to farming, consisting of
rich black loan from three to
ten feet deep. Our sub-soil is of
lighter color and is natural res
ervoir through which no water
can escape. This being the case,
farmer can derive more benefit
from one inch of rain in Western
South Dakota than he can with
five inches on land with a porous
sub-soil. Another advantage to
be derived is there are no stumps
or rocks to contend with and we
have the most healthful country
and the most progressive people
on Gods green earth. Deny this,
you chronic knockers, if you can.

Doty plant for the irrigation o1
a large tract of land on his farm
and the following day was up
north of town looking at proposed
plants on the farms of Rev, Brown
and Pete Stout. The water fol
these plants will be furnished by
the building of large dams.
Fairplay: Fred S. Rowe & Co.
sold three International gasoline
engines for irrigating purposes
this week, one going to d. F.
Carlin, of Carlin, one to Moore
Brothers and one to G.. w. Wal.
dron. Irrigation for Stanley coun-
ty is fast getting past the theoret-
lcal stage, and spring will see
things humming in Fort Pierre
and vicinity. Mr.. Carlin's plant
will be located at his ranch on the
Cheyenne river near the postoffice
which bears his name. Moore
Brothers will install theirs near
Teton. and Mr.. Waldron exnacts
to pat water on a large part of

Earl Taylor, of Farmingdale.
was found guilty of selling impure
meat before Judge Exline, at Rap
id City, and fined 5000 and costs.
The facts as shown by the testimony
at the trial, are: About noon,
August 80, the Milwaukee section
men found a COW bearing the Tay-
lor brand lying beside the track,
where she had been thrown by an
engine. She was badly hurt, un-
able to get up and could only drag
herself along, her back being
broken. Several hours later Earl
Taylor and his brother killed the
animal, which they afterward
skinned and dressed, and then sold
the meat to their neighbors.
Residents of White Owl have
been greatly alarmed the past few
days over the strange actions of
an unknown man who is going
around carrying a big revolver and
telling people not to 60 up in the
air, as he is God and will shoot if
they don't obey. He wears long
hair, is we'll dressed, and says he
comes from California. 1t is
thought he is insane. He appear
ed at the T. S. Hale ranch and will
be held until the sheriff arrives
from Sturgis.
Interior Index: For some un-
accountable reason the County
Board of Supervisors of Stanley
county have taken time to pass a
very remarkable resolution which
says they will not pay costs in
any criminal suits that may be
launched under the sole auspices
of justice. Well! Well! what is
Stanley county coming to? These
wise and economical supervisors
propose to pay $50 or $50 for
petty crime that happens to be
committed in their bailiwick just
for the satisfaction of having the
county attorney conduct the case.
The case of the State VS.. Steve
Hunter cost the county $51 even,
because we called the county at.
torney over to conduct the affair.
Had Hunter had only the usual ex.
animation or preliminary trial,
the case, aside from the fees of a
constable to escort the prisoner tc
the county seat, would have been
less than ten dollars. We certain.
ly have wise and economical
bunch of sups. Let 'er roll if the
taxpayers like it.

Artist

merous loads of potatoes being
hauled to town by farmers in this
vicinity do not seem to encourage
the reports of drouth which have
been circulated in regard to this
section. Potatoes are now ninety
cents a bushel, and there are a
few carloads to spare for anyone
in the east who may be in need.
Midland Star: At Elwood, in
the north part of Stanley county,
horse thieves have recently been
plying their vocation, and the
homesteaders have been standing
guard over their stock to prevent
its disappearance. John Beck with,
a homesteader, was standing guard
one night last week. He fell asleep
in the saddle and in some manner
his shotgun was discharged, kill
ing his horse. He was thrown to
the ground and quite seriously in
jured. Rather peculiar accident.
Kadoka Press: Beginning Sun
day, Nov. 9Th, the present sched-
ule of trains from Chamberlain to

Ashcreek Pilot: About fifteen
young people met at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. B Creech last
Saturday night. The evening was
spent in playing games after which
refreshments were served, and all

spent very pleasant evening.
Hayes Homestead: The special
election was held Saturday to vote
on the proposition of bonding
Hayes township for $1,000 to build
dams on section lines, road i'm
provement, etc. The proposition
carried with no dissenting vote.
Work will begin as soon as the
money is secured. We are pleased
to announce the above, for It's a
matter of great benefit to the
township. Besides furnishing an
adequate and general water supply
for the future, it will mean road
and township improvement, and
employment for many this winter.

We understand that Mr.. Wilson

make up their mind not to leave
us.

slider the best musical act that has
been seen there this season, who was
the greatest drawing card among
backface comedians, just who was
the most eXpensiyely gowned prima

those who give but passing attention to
the shows would never think of trying
to ascertain. There are a great ma
iCrity of theatre goers, however, who
pay no attention to the individual acts
further than to require Il strong pro-
gram each week. They only know
that they attend the Garden expect
ing good entertainment. and they
are rarely, II ever, disappointed.
more notable attraction is rarely
ever seen here than that oI Klein &

K is n novelty into which pantomimic
comedy, singing. dancing and talking
are combined effectually. 1t scored
Il big hit on the opening day and will
no doubt attract large crowds at its
farewell performances at the Garden
this afternoon and tonight. The
Prentice Trio is another favorite act.
Dan Roby Is the greatest funmaker
OF all times and his comicalties strike
the laughing center OF every one in
