Altered a Deed

Charging that he altered a deed over
the signature of Francis NJ. Roush and
his wife to a certain lot in Rapid City.
a warrant has been issued for the
arrest of John Wright, a former resi-
dent of that city, and authorities will
seek e~xtradition papers to bring him
from Spokane, where he is now under
arrest.
Sometime ago Roush alleges that he
entered into a deal with Wright for the
sale of the property giving a warranty
deed on a small payment made to the
bank. Later he claims Wright came
TO him and asked for a second deed
saying that he had lost the first.
Roush refused. Recently Roush sold
100 acres near Wall to a local man, but
on looking up the title found that it
had recently been transferred by
Wright to a third party, the original
warranty deed for the local lot having
been altered and the description of the
other properly put in.

South Dakota ranks eighteenth on the

Groton Raises Strawberries

Speaking of Strawberries, Father
Duren and Miss Vogel have this year
gathered about 500 quarts from the
vines at Rest Cottage, and with a
little timely rain, they would doubtless
gather twice as many more quarts.
Father Duren does not accept the book
rules and practices of strawberry
experts as applicable to this climate.
For instance the rules say to cut out
the unners-doubtless the correct thing
where there is less sunshine and less
demand for shade while the fruit is
maturing and ripening. Here the run
ners are of value in adding to the
quantity of leaves which shade the
fruit. He has the plants set out in
low beds from four to five feet wide,
so as to be really accessible from either
side without treading on the vines.
The straw which is used for winter
covering is left on either side and
becomes a mat or cushion 10 keep one
out of the dirt while gathering the
berries. Another point which Father
Duren differs with the experts is in the
time Of transplanting, His experience
shows that midsummer transplanting
IS the surest and best time. They have
picked upwards of 100 quarts in a
single day, and their local market has
been steady and sufficient for the
entire output at Is cents per quart.
The books claim that the useful life of
q strawberry bed is two crops. Father
Duren is gathering the third and
largest crop from his vines-another
point at which his experience differs
with the books-Groton Independent.

City, in favor of the license people.
The question raised was that CT free
holders" on the petitions for the
license election, and it appeared
that the saloon interests secured a
cheap lot in Wall and decided each of
six of their supporters an interest in
the lot, and with these names the
required number of freeholders was
secured. The petition was attacked on
account of these names, and Judge
MCGEE holds that they are freeholders.
