About sixty cents on the dollar is
what holders of wolf bounties will get
this year, after claims which are on
sidered fraudulent in Fall River and
Pennington counties are eliminated.
On account of the rush Of state assess
m Mt work in the state auditors
department il will be prob IDLY a month
before the warrants are out for the
payment of these claims. and on the
adjust ment there may be a few cents
difference but sixty cents will be very
close to the amount which each holder
can expect.
The fraudulent claims which amount
to several thousand dollars, would have
reduced the percentage largely had the
crooked work not been so strong that
it revealed itself. The chances are
that the whole bounty plan will go at
the coming legislative session. and If it
does not the claims for the future are
likely TO be far more modest in amount
than they haye been in past years.

Wants Rapid City to Paw

Judge Elliott, of the United States
court, has heard arguments in cases
involving the collection of over S185, 900
principal and interest, on an obsolete
bond issue made by Rapid City many
years ago. The suit for collection was
instituted by Henry G.. DInet, of Chi
cago, who seeks to secure a judgment
against Rapid City for the amount of
his claim.
The bonds in question were issued in
aid of the construction of what is
known as the Crouch railroad, extend
ing from Rapid City to Mystic, thirty
N miles. The city assumed q debt
and then refunded it, the purpose being
to assist in building the road. A total
of PIG refunding bonds were issued.
Later all but e~ighty-ive were
destroyed. Of the eighty-five ten were
paid, of five others nothing is known
and now Dinet sues to recover princi-
pal and interest on the remaining
seventy.
The case promises to urn on the fact
as to whether or not Dinet is a bona
ide purchaser or holder of the bonds.

Tried to Rreak AWAY

A bold and nearly successful attempt
at jail delivery was made at the Brown
county Jail last week when two federal
prisoners, one from Milbank and the
other from Walworth county, sawed
two bars from a Jail window, end were
nearly through with their work of
preparing the way for a wholesale
escape of the prisoners in the Jail,
when the polt was discovered.
For several nights the prisoners and
the guards at the jail have been
beguiled by sweet melodies from a
French harp or mouth organ" played
be one of the prisoners. 1t il supposed
that it was during the time this music
was played that the men worked saw
ing through the bars, the-music drown
ing the sound of the saws.
When the attempt at escape was dis
covered, the Jail was thoroughly
searched, and Henry Elliott, a deputy
sheriff and son-in law of Sheriff Shaffer
discovered a half dozen saws and as
many keys hidden away in a small
cubby hole. 1t is believed there was
a plot among all the prisoners, by
which the bars were to be sawed
through and the keys used to open the
cells, releasing every prisoner in the
Jail. One prisoner is held for trial on
a murder charge, and there are a num-
Der of others who are awaiting trial
for lesser offenses. Sheriff Shaffer is
conducting a rigid investigation and it
is believed the outside persons guilty
of supplying the prisoners with the
saws and keys will be discovered.
