FIRE MARSHAL DISAPPOINTED
Case Against Alleged Incendia-
ries Dismissed On a Technical
ty.

The state lost it's case against
Natius P. Petsenger and NIalinda
Stunkard, who We're charged in t.
Moody county court with burning
buildings to defraud an insurance
company. The judge directed the
jury to bring in a verdict of ac-
quital ON the ground that the in
surance company which wrote tht
policies-a county mutual concern
had never filled it's articles of
incorporation and had no legal
existence.
The fire marshal says he had
sufficient evidence to convict, bu7
none of it got to the jury. 1nsur
ance Commissioner Basford sayt
that while there are many county
mutual companies doing business
in this state only three have fill.
ed articles Of incorporation, and
under the ruling Of the court
their policies are invalid.

Federal Judge for South Dakota

A dispatch from Washington
states that the selection of new
federal judge for South Dakota
was considered at a conference OF
the president and Senators Gam

with Senator Gamble.
"I believe an appointment will
he made in a short time, said
Mr.. Gamble. 81 am still press
ing James D. Elliott, and hope he
will be appointed"
From what could be learned OF
what took place at the two COM
fcrences it seems that there was
more talk about Elliott than amy
other candidate. Representative
have been made to the president
that Elliott has had very close re-
lationc with the Milwaukee rail
road. and that because Of those
relations he should not be APP
pointed district judge.
Senator Gamble devoted most
of his time to an argument that
E]liott's S fitness for the place
should not be judged ON the basi
Of relations with the Milwaukee
or any other railroad.

Equip New Coast Line
New Passenger Cars and Engines
Being Put Into Service by
Puget Sound Company.

Five new all-steel passenger
cars of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& Puget Sound Railway company
came into Minneapolis and went
out again this week three new
locomotives, in service, and west
ward bound, went through Farm
ington, Minn. Every day for the
past Week something like this has
been going ON and before long
the entire equipment that is to
make up the passenger trains for
the through service from Chic
ago to Seattle, that will start
about May %, will have been
absorbed.
With 1900 locomotives, 1900
passenger and $1,000 freight on
service cars i'm the total rolling
stock equipment of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul and Chi
cago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound,
these newcomers are quickly lost
among the many. Some weeks
in advance of the biginming of
operation of the trains they will
be assembled, one-half in Seattle.
The service they are now getting
is good forthem, said F. H. Meyers
superintendent of the River and
Iowa and Minnesota divisions.
"and will give them proper bear
ing before they 60 into their re-
gular run"
No such extensive preparation
eyer was necessary i'm advance of
the beginning of passenger ser
vice on railroad as that made
by the Milwaukee road Sixteen
full trains will be needed to keep
up the daily service from eithor
end.-Minneapolis Journal.

Prof. Perisho Lectures

The people of Sisseton who
reached the Opera House Wednes
day evening between showers hao
a rare treat when Prof Perisho, of
the State University, and state
! :,e-o' {. sy'st, gave them & 'sanc and
logical talk ON the liquor question
from an economic and financial
standpoint showing that the grear
problem confronting the people
today is the question of sobriety
and that sobriety is synonymous
with efficiency, and that forma
tion along the lines Of right
thinking in childhood while the
mind is plastic is far more desir-
able and easy Of accomplishme END
than reformation after the evil
seed Of wrong thinking, bad habit
ETC., have been sown.
His statements were each and
all most carefully and conclusive
ly proven by irrefutable STATISTICS
Prof. Perisho is broad-mimd-
ed, up-to-date educator Of wide
experience, a noted lecturer on
scientific subjects a deep thinker
and a gentleman Of pleasing ad-
dress and sincerity of purpose
! and the people Of Sisseton are in
deed fortunate to have had him
with them at this time.
