To-, THE POOR INDIANS
THEY MUST GO ELSEWHERE
FOR THEIR BOOZE
MAYOR MONS PLACES A BAN
The Saloons of Webster Served
Notice That All Indians and
Persons who Have Indian
Blood in Them Placed
upon the Black List

Ever since the saloons of Sisseton,
Wilmot and Waubay have been closed
the Indians and mixed bloods have made
excursions to this city to get their "fire
water" Not that the saloons of either
of the other three cities nor those OF
Webster wanted to sell to them. But
the saloons were there, the booze was
there, the Indians had the money and
the clos EST market caught their eye.
There are always some mixed bloods
who heretofore have been able to buy
the same as a white mar in any of the
saloons-with the possible exception of
Wilmot-and no person seemed to think
anything of it.
About two weeks ago there were a
number OF them came to this city and
after becoming intoxicated got into a
bad fight in which two or three
of them were quite badly cut up. None
of the saloon men admit selling them
and we know of no one who directly
accuses them. But they got it. Mayor
Mohs was very much wrought up about
the matter and Immediately had notices
printed and posted in all the saloons to
the effect that all Indians and those of
Indian blood should be considered as
upon the black list and sales TO them
would be so considered and prosecuted.
The saloon men claim that this notice
was unnecessary as they had not been
in the habit of selling to either class.
Their contention was that the liquor
was purchased by others and by them
peddled out to the reds. The mayor
then issued orders to the police force to
give more attention to this matter in
the future and to stop the b~ootlegging.
He informs us that the whole force of
his administration will be used in this
matter and that a person caught selling
liquor to the Indians or mixed bloods or
carrying it out to others who have been
placed upon the ''black list" will be
prosecuted to the fullest extent of the
law. A word to the wise is sufficient.
Parties who have been in the habit of
rushing cans and bottles for blacklisted
persons can save themselves fines and
Jail sentences If not penalties more
severely desisting now.
This is business and meets with the
hearty approval of all our citizens.

How to Stop Flyer

A great many Webster people have
at various times, since the fast trains
were put upon the Milwaukee, been
called upon to go east after The local
train had left in the morning, and each
has wondered how to catch ''The Flyer"
which comes along here in the after
noon. During the past week a way has
been provided for getting the train to
stop here. Last Friday the railway
commissioners were in session here and
desiring to go east had Charles Phelps
take them to Waubay in an automobile
where they waited for the train. Mon
day Lieutenant Robert Arthur who was
returning to Fort Monroe, Va, wanted
to take ''The Flyer" and his friend,
Rex w. Harris, took him to Waubay to
wait for the train. In each instance
when the fast train pulled into Webster
it was placed upon the side track and
held here for ten minutes. The way to
get ''The Fly err" to stop in Webster is
to hire an automobile and go to Wau-
bay and wait for it.

East Trains to Stop Here.

All things come to those who wait,
that is if they wait patiently and with
out much kicking. When the fast trains
were put on the Milwaukee a great deal
of adverse comment was made because
none of them made stops at Webster
and some of the hot headed mes were
very immoderate in the expressions
made. The matter was explained that
the company was trying out their new
plans and soon no one noticed or seemed
to care whether the steel cars stopped
or not. When the company had given
the new scheme a sufficient trial and on
many occasions had stopped the trains
both to receive and unload passengers
the managers decided it would be of
advantage to make stops at Webster
and accordingly a new train card viii
be made the fast trains will stop here;
n in the morning going west at about
$50 and n going east in the afternoon
about $3.50.

MONDAYS HAIL STORM
ONE OF WORST KNOWN IN
THE HISTORY
DAY COUNTY HARD STRUCK
Wide Section of Territory Gov.
cred And Damage Done In
All Sections All The
Way From % Per Cent
To Total Loss

Monday afte rnoon a hail storm pre-
vailed in Webster between three and
four o'clock. The stones were very
small and not accompanied by hardly
any wind and the damage in the imme-
date vicinity was estimated at not
more than twenty-five per cent and not
that much in most places.
Of course after the storm came the
usual speculation as to its extent. 1t
was. not long before the telephone
brought in reports. The course of the
storm was not as usual-a strip across
a certain stretch of co%untry-but it
seemed to have been fitful in it's depre-
dations. There was quite an area
right heal Roslyn which was damaged
about fifty per cent. The next place
heard of was another sec ton of country
some miles farther north which got it
from twenty-five to fifty per cent.
Reports then came in from Racine
township where the crops on several
farms were damaged all the way from
fifty per cent to a total loss.
Next heard of was over beyond the
lakes east where a total loss is reported
in many fields.
Atlas Knapp heard from his farm,
this side of Waubay, and the surround
ing country where the loss is complete.
Frank Smith received a phone mes
sage that his farm had suffered about a
fifty per cent loss the surrounding
country suffered accordingly.
The worst reports come from the
territory between Waubay and Ortley
worse because the territory covered
was much larger-where everything
was completely destroyed.
From the various sources which we
have gained our information we have
heard all kinds of estimates as to the
loss in money to the farmers of the
country. None place it at less than
two hundred thousand dollars and some
go as high as five hundred thousand.
Very many Of the farmers carry
insurance and several of the companies
will be hard hit. Fortunately harvest
had commenced a few days preceding
the storm and part of the crop-barley
and oats and some of the velvet chaff
had been cut or the damage would
have been more than double.
1t is the hardest blow that has fall
len on this county from hail as the
acreage was much larger than in for
mer years and the crop was one of the
very best in the history of the county.
Those who have met with losses will
have the sympathy of their more for
tunate neighbors. One thing has been
clearly demonstrated that a crop is
never sure until the money is safely
deposited in the bank.

NO DESIRE TO BRIGHTEN
JUST A PLAIN STATEMENT
OF THE FACTS
REGARDING COAL SHORTAGE
sale Points Says Buy Your
Coal Now-Demand Later
Will Be Greater Than
the Supply on Hand

1t has never been the desire of the
Reporter and Farmer to unnecessarily
brighten its readers but in this year of
1912 everything points to the fact that
along in the early part of the winter
there is bound to be a shortage of coal
throughout the country. The very best
authorities upon the subject now make
the prediction and say there can be no
possibility now of lodging the matter.
The reason for this is that the coal has
not been mined and therefore is not to
be had and the mine owners will not be
able to supply the demands made upon
them. Do not think this will be like
the coal shortages of past years which
have been due in a large part to the
fact that the dealers were unable to get
cars to transport coal from the docks
This year it will not be lack of cars but
lack of coal. Pin this article up and see
if it does not come true.
There is a sure protection. Our dealers
a buy coal now and as long as the sup
ply lasts. We would advise every reader
to make arrangements as earlyas pcssi-
BILE to put in their supply of coal for
winter. Nearly all have some place
where it can be stored. You each know
about how much you will have to use
during the winter. Go to your dealer
and place yo1r order now and get it on
the way from the docks, and then haul
it home as soon as you can. We have
given you ample warning and it is now
up to you to protect yourself.
