MAY COUNTY COLLECT
CHARGES FROM ESTATES?;

Sioux Falls. S. D.. Oct. 10.-The au-
thorities Of Minnehaha county have in
stituted in the state circuit court an
interesting test case involving the col
lection from the estate of a deceased
insane person Of the cost of his care
in the state hospital for the insane.
The county seeks to recover the sum
of 81 1883 from the estate of the late
Arthur Tobin, which sum the county
Of Minnehaha paid to the state for his
care during several years that he was
a patient at the state hospital at Yank-
ton. Mrs. Tobin. mother Of the de-
ceased. is in charge Of the estate, and
she has been made the defendant in the
action. A state law provides that sums
for the care of insane persons may be
collected from an estate, provided 1t
is not needed by the immediate heirs
for their support. The estate of Arthur
Tobin is said to be worth SO, 500, and ii
is alleged that it is not needed by the
immediate heirs.

SUNDAY VISITORS AT
REGISTRATION POINTS
GIVEN LIVELY TIMES
Growing Eagerness for Land Is
Shown at Both Dallas and
Gregory.

Gregory, s. D., Oct. 10---A big crowd
Of homeseekers was In line at the door
of the registration building at midnight
last night, when the doors were opened
to begin the second weeks registration
for Mellette and Bennett county home
steads.
| It is noticed that more OF these who
come to register now are staying Tor
a day or two instead of returning home
on the next train, as was the case with
the first crowds.
Yesterday every automobile in both
Gregory and Dallas was busy taking
the crowds back and forth between the
towns to witness the wild west show in
Gregory and polo game between In
dams and cowboys In Dallas. The
every day work OF the COW ponies puts
them in fine shape for polo, and their
work was highly praised by eastern
critics who were present. At the wild
west show Jack Sully, jr., a son Of Jack
and killed by United States marshals In
this county four years ago, was saved
from probably serious injury by the
readiness Of his companions with the
lasso. Sully attempted to ride a wild
range COW and the animal threw him
and then turned on him as he lay on
the ground.
The latest incident in the rivalry be-.
tween Gregory and Dallas to secure,
the registration crowds is an offer by
the Gregory Commercial club to con-
to be made on his homestead by the
man who secures number one at the
drawing on October "a, provided his
registration was filed in Gregory.
The total registration in Gregory at
IL a. m. today is 6,186.

LAD AND LOADED GUN
CAUSE SISTERS DEATH

Mitchell, s. D.. Oct. 10.-The careless
handling of firearms in the hands OF
q small boy resulted in the instant
death Of his little sister. The sad ac-
cident occurred at the home Of A. F.
Purdee. living north Of Platte, N. D..
The boy and his two little sisters were
left at home alone and the lad, who
IL about IL years old, got possession
OF shotgun, which he did not know
was loaded. He stood the two little
girls side by side and then took de-
liber:.Ge aim and the gun was dis
charged into the neck of Florence, the
youngest. and she dropped dead in her
tracks. The shot entered her neck and
death was instantaneous. Retaining
his presence OF mind under such cir
cumstances, the boy ran with all pos
sible speed to the office Of a physician
some little distance away and hurried
him back to the scene of the shooting.
The boy said he did not know the
gun was loaded and that he did not
have the least idea that it would go
off.

X. c. Man Goes to Mat.
Wednesday evening, just as supper
was over, the lobby of the Harvey was
enlivened by an assault upon the coun-
ty treasurer by Z. d. Chapman, Of
Kansas City. who charged Treasurer
Flavin with the responsibility for the
heavy taxes levied upon the land held
by the Kansas City man for specula-
ton.
In 1886 the city had it's boom. Chap
man bought heavily and has carried
the property all these years waiting
for market on which he could re-
coup himself for his choice of acre
age on the wrong side of town. Pos
sibly some Of the big purchases he
made were from some people who Sc
cured land which was used in the real
development of the town. During the
year the new building has turned
toward the Chapman tracts and the as
SCISSOR was governed accordingly.
The treasurer is but half the age of
Chapman and resisted the assault by
sending the nonresident to the mosaic
three times before that worthy got
enough. Neither was injured by the
encounter.

crops OF oats can be raised on a piece
OF ground in one season in South Da-
kota has been demonstrated by Henry
Dirks. living 10 miles southwest Of

sowed As acres of an early variety
known as the Ninety Day" oats. In
due time the crop matured and Mr..
Dirks threshed 405 bushels from the
field. which is not bumper crop for
Bon Homme county, but is not SO bad
for this season. After the crop had
been harvested the field was disked
over in order to retain the moisture.
The rains In the latter part of July
sprouted the oats which had shelfed
out during harvest and the other day
Mr.. Dirks harvested and threshed 1876
bushels as the second crop this year
from this particular field.
The crops were raised on a farm be-
longing to Louis Chladek, OF Tyndall.
and last Monday Dirks closed deal
with Chladek whereby the former be-
came the proud owner Of this farm.
