Deadwood, S. D. Nov. Is
While setting traps in an old a.
bandoned shack near Roubaix, q
former mining camp and scene of
eraly day, sensational gold
values in the Uncle Sam mine,
John Hill, a rancher, came across
two cigar boxes filled with rich
specimen ore from that mine.
Hill thought he had windfall as
the ore is worth several hundred
dollars, but an agent of the COM
pany that for many years has
been lying idle because the mine
contains too much water to work
heard of the find and soon in
duced Hill to turn over the gold.
1t is presumed that the speci-
men rock was at one time stolen
from the mine by some former
employee and cached, as the I'm
Gle Sam lost plenty of valuable
specimens ore in that manner.

Philo Stephens Not Guilty

Philo Stephens, a resident on
Indian creek near Belvidere, was
found not guilty on the charge
of horse rustling Saturday morn
ing in circuit court at Fort Pierre
Stephens has gained consider
able notoriety by lodging arrest
for the past three years. He was
arrested at Kadoka a few weeks
ago, and during the early morn
ing hours of the day following
his arrest broke out of the iail
at kadoka. He was recaptured
10y Sheriff Coyne on the Pine
Ridge reservation a week later.
Stephens was accused of steal
ing two mares and colt Of
Francis p. Ryan, Of Midland, on
September l, 1908. The evil
dence, which was largely circum-
stantial, was generally considered
sufficient for his conviction. Cliff
ford Wyman, at present serving
IA term at Sioux Falls, who was
in Stephens company on the day
of the larceny, was brought from
the penitentiary, but proved a
very poor witness. Hank Oakes,
at present awaiting commitment
to the penitentiary on similar
charge, and who is said to know
a great deal about the case, like
wise was unwilling to testify.

FIGHTS GAME LAW
Fighting Joe Kirby of Sioux
Falls, Says It's Unconstu
tionN

Sioux Falls, Nov. 15.-Joe
Kirby arrived home from Hayti,
where he was defendant in an ac-
ton brought against him by the
deputy game warden for Hamlin
county, charging Mr.. Kirby with
hunting without a license.
While attending term of
court for Hamlin county Mr.. Kir-
by ran over from Castlewood to
Hayti and joined a party of Sioux
Falls hunters and spent the day
with them. While out on the
pass the game warden came
along and demanded to see the
licenses of the various hunters.
MIR. Kirby had none. The action
on the part Of Mr.. Kirby in hunt
ing without license was no over
sight on his part. 1t was a deli
berate act. Mr.. Kirby's conten-
ton is that the license law is IL
legal, in that it discriminates
against the nonresident, requir-
ing license fee of SIS from a
nonresident and 81 from a resi-
dent hunter.
Mr.. Kirby admitted at the
trial at Hayti that he was in the
field with gun without a license
but he argued the law was uncon.
5tltutional. He was found guilty
nd was fined the amount speci-
lied by law. He Immediately
gave notice of appeal to the cir
;uit court. The legality of the
Jaw will now have to be passed
IN by the supreme court, as both
sides are determined to get an
opinion from the highest tribunal
n the state.

A STRENUOUS FINANCIER
Black Hills Man Gets Note From
Bank by Means of q Gun

Belle Fourche, Nov. 15.-Ash-
er knepper, Of Hulett, Wyo.,
northwest of here, is a man of
determination and nerve, who
approves Of doing things in a
real western way. He has Just
demonstrated this by holding up
the liulett bank in an approved
style, and although it caused his
arrest, he asserts he is not both
cred about the consequences.
About two years ago Knepper
and his wife had little transac.
tion with the latter's mother in
which the kneppers gave Mrs.
Baker a six months note for a
check for $500. The check PROV
ed no good and Knepper notified
his mother in law to destroy the
note and promptly forgot the in
cident.
A few days ago Knepper was
informed that the note was in the
Hulett bank for collection. Ac-
cording to the bank officials Mrs.
Baker had declared that she had
found the note in her trunk and
thought knepper had put it there
Is he was indebted to her any
way, she said, so she decided to
realize on it.
This made Knepper wrathy.
The bank officials declined to
listen. to his story and plea for
the note. Knepper is a man of
action. Shouldering a 3O-3O, he
walked fifteen miles from his
ranch into town, marched cody
INTO the bank, where several men
stood around Cashier Storm, lev,
eled the weapon at the official
and demanded the note. Storm
lost no time in complying with
knepper s wish.
Then Knepper handed the gun
to Sam Woodbridge, an onlooker
sauntered down to the postoffice
and got his mail and tramped
slowly home again, leaving frag
ments Of the note along the way
When Storm recovered from
his surprise, he got in touch with
the sheriff, who visited the Knep
per homestead and brought thai
individual back to town. Knep
per was arraigned before a jus
tice, pleaded guilty to assault
with a dangerous weapon, ant
was bound over to the district
court. He furnished bond anC
returned home.

Death Dealing Storms in Illinois
and Wisconsin, While Blizzard
Rages in South Dakota

Nine persons are dead and others
dying, many are injured and
nearly half million dollars
worth of property destroyed by
a cyclone that swept over Rock
county Saturday afternoon. Near
Orfordville, the whole Smith
family, three daughters, son
and the father was killed. Mrs.
John Clowder, 80 years old, Mrs.
Brodede, a bride of a few months
Fred Lentz, carpenter and Amy

Wenzell Kerber is dying.
In Illinois
Springfield, Ill.,, Nov. IA
tornado swooped down upon Vir-
ginia, ILL.,, Saturday afternoon,
dealing destruction right and
left and leaving ruin in its wake.
A score of persons were seriously
injured while the town was COM
pletely wrecked. Many had mar
aculous escapes but none was
killed. The most seriously injur-
ed were Earl Whitaker, a little
boy Fad French, and Otis Mid
dleton.
The Whitaker boy was the
most seriously injured, being
caught under the wreckage of
the Whitaker house, which was
demolished.
The storm swept with terrific
force through the center of the
town, not a business building or
residence that lay in its wake
escaping damage. A hundred
dwellings were unroofed or sus-
tanned serious injury in another
manner, while the business sec
ton is mass of wreckage. A
drenching rain followed the vio-
lent wind and the town was in
total darkness.

very heavy wind blew from the

snow, which practically put an
end to much of the fall work yet
uncompleted. There is quite a
good deal of wheat not threshe

IS OPPOSED TO STIFF, HATS
State Horticultural Knocks That
Style of Headgear-Praises of
Alfalfa are Sung

SS>AS iAASSSiAAS VI CiiS A>oA CiA " CIV
ern Iowa Horticultural society
meeting in the city building.
Professor n. E. Hansen of South
Dakota State college at Brook
ings, delivered the anathema on
the popular headgear.
"There is great danger of the
brains becoming chilled or even
frozen when the stiff hat is worn
said Professor Hanson during the
course of his illustrated lecture
regarding his trip around the
world. "The forehead has only
a thin covering and does not re-
ally withstand the cold. In Sibe-
ria and other cold countries the
natives are careful to keep their
brOws well wrapped when out in
the cold, but the top of the head
is allowed to have considerable
fresh air.
"Our straw hats, likewise are
not suited to warm weather. The
sun has bad effect on the
brain and finds little resistance
offered by the modern straw hats
The natives of tropical regions
wear helmets which keep off the
sun s warm rays. We might pro-
fit by their example"
Farmers Are Keen
Professor Hansen s dissertatio
on the care of alfalfa and his
statements that it can be grown
in the coldest regions, even in
the Arctic circle, aroused deep
interest in his hearers. He told
of the efforts being made by the
state legislature of South Dako-
ia to promote the growth of al
falfa. Last spring Professor Han
sen offered ten alfalfa plants free
to the first ten people who appli-
ed. The general interest felt in
the question was indicated by the
800 replies received shortly after
the announcement was made.
Professor Hansen told of his
experiments with alfalfa in vari-
Gus foreign countries. He spoke
in part as follows:
Where the common blue flow
cred alfalfa does not suffer from
the winter at any time l advise
to let well enough alone. But
north Of this line is vast region
clear to the Arctic circles where
the Siberian alfalfas will, in my
judgment, reign supreme in the
near future, and they may find
congenial home in the high
mountain regions in the Rockies
far to the south.
Alfalfa Means Millions
My idea Of a hardy alfalfa is
one that will take it's place as a
wild plant and hold it's own with
buffalo grass and other wild
grasses; one that will flourish on
our gumbo soils in the western
half Of the state; one that will
make our rough lands and "sheep
quarters immensely more valu-
able than at present.
We should realize that the al
falfa problem is the most impor-
tant agricultural problem in
South Dakota today, and that to
solve it rightly in the near future
would increase the value of South
Dakota lands many millions of
dollars. Is it wise economy to
begrudge the expenditure of suf-
ficient money to hasten the solu-
tion Of this problems My position
in the matter is that our agricul-
tural colleges and experiment sta.
tions should be provided with
abundant means to solve this
question for all parts of the
state. The main expense will
come in working up the first L.
600 or 1000 bushels of seed; af-
Ter that the farmers and seedmen
will be quick to continue the
work, but farmers cannot handle

What Will 1t Be This Year?

Every year just before the harvest
season the representatives of the in
surance combine have published and
circulated some new story misrepre-
senUing this Association for the mr.
pose of intimidating the grain grow
els against insuring with it and thus
compel them to insure in the COM
panies composing the combine. Some
such story of intimidation will I'M
doubleday be sprung again this year.
What will it be?
These companies have always
claimed that the rates were on a
strictly scientific basis; that any
company was unreliable and would
go broke that made less rate. The
changes in their exact science since
the competition of the Northwestern
was encountered has been very strik-
ing. 1t is apparent that their scien-
titic cost decreases in about the same
proportion that competition in
creases Is it science or com peti-
ton that has caused their reduction
in rates? If science only, then why
is it still necessary to charge double
the rates in California where they
have not had the competition of this
Association? Do they think any
rate they can offer will regain this
business and thus enable them to go
back to the rates they are still charg-
ing where they have less competi-
| ton? If so they miscalculate, for
| no bait they can offer will induce the
majority of the farmers to return
to those who bled them as long as
| they could and for all they could
They underestimate the Intelligence
of the average farmer if they think
he cannot see through their little
game.
The policy holders of the North
western Mutual Fire Association own
the company and thereby get their
insurance at actual cost. 1t is GER
tain that no stock company paying
twice the commission to get the BUSH
ness can furnish it for less than this
organization of 35, 900 property own
ers.
Again, the method originated by
the Northwestern of insuring the
grain until sold, wherever located
and thus avoid paying short rates in
both field and warehouse is the only
| method tht fulf1lls the farmers
| needs. F. J. MARTIN,
Secretary

Gated near Seattle. The promoters
OF the project We're placed under ar
rest on warrants sworn out by Ben

one of the Pullmanites to put money
into the project, on a charge of using
the mails to defraud, he claiming
that the property is not as repre-
scented by the promoters.
Lots in Jovita Heights were sold
at $140 each, payments being $40
down and $40 a month until paid
for 1t was announced that several
$4,000 houses would be erected on
certain lots, and that one out of

scheme is a fraud and that the pro-
motors have beaten purchasers all
over the Northwest out of an amount
aggregating nearly 100000.
