A meeting of the sportsmen of the
state has been called for September IL.
at Huron. The object of this meeting
is to consider changes in the present
game law so as to make it more effect
i've. The meeting will also consider
what is to be- done with the game fund
which is now reaching large proper
tons, and which is lying in the state
treasury without any provision made
for its use. The sportsmen of the state
are the n that crerte this fund, and
it is no more than right that they
should have a voice in the manner that
it is to be disposed of. 1t is hoped that
all of the sportsmen of the state will
attend the meeting at Huron, which is
set for the week of the state fair.

New Management for Hospital

Arrangements have been practically
completed for the transfer Of the hos
pital at Brookings to the Methodist
d~eaconesses. A Miss Wilson, repre-
senting the -deaconesses, visited Brook
ings and was given assurance of sup-
port to an extent that renders it
certain the plan will go through. The
property is valued at $14, 900, but Geo.
p. Sexauer and Horace Fishback, who
own it, have agreed to sell it to the
Methodist Deaconess association of
Omaha, whom Miss Wilson represents,
for $40, 900, and to donate S. 600 on the
purchase price. Two physicians have
also agreed to take 81, 900 each in the
property, and this leaves but S. 600 to
be raised. Efforts which promise to be
successful are being made to raise that
amount and to turn over the hospital,
debt free, to the de~aconesses, who
agree to conduct it in an up-to-date
manner.

Will Not Run

1t is not likely that Congressman E.
w. Martin, Of Deadwood, will have
opposition on the bull moose ticket. A
report was sent out stating that DR..
G. c. Redfield, the well known Rapid
City bull moose leader, had announced
his candidacy against Mr.. Martin, but
DR.. Redfeld strenuously denies this
and asserts that he will not be a can
didate for congress or any other Office.
He declares that he has been
approached on the subject by some
well known progressives, but he
declines to permit his name to be used
in that connection. Congressman
Martin has not taken any active part
recently in the republican-progressive
controversy and has been opposed to
the naming of a third ticket by either
the stalwart republicans or progress
ives in South Dakota.

Looking For Yankton Man

w. H. Leuble, of Yankton, is sought
by the police of Council Bluffs, Iowa,
in the hopes that he may be able on
throw some light on what now looks
like the probable murder of a woman
on the Omaha and Council Bluffs motor
railway bridge between Council Bluffs
and Omaha. An envelope bearing
Leuble's address was picked up on the
bridge Friday, and with it a woman's
hat and a wisp of hair. The hat is
an expensive creation, and the hair
from the head of some female was
found attached to a rope which was
hanging to the railing Of the bridge at
the same point. Several clothing tags
were also found. The water in the
Missouri river beneath the bridge at
this point Is not very deep, but there
is a swift current. The envelope
which bore the Yankton mans name
was sent from the Western Auto COM
pany, of Kansas City. One side of
the envelope bears a shopping list of
feminine apparel.

Crow Dog Dead

Death on the Rosebud reservation
Of Crow Dog occurred last week. He

many years one of the most noted of
the warlike Sioux tribesmen and who

time had been quite feeble. Desiring

Tail, who paved his way for the prog

Railroad Commissioners Busy

At a meeting held in Sioux Falls by
the state railroad commissioners consid-
GRAFTON was given the matter of guard
ing against a a shortage in South
Dakota later In the fall, when the grain
crop is ready for marketing.
The railroad commissioners have been
using every mea at their disposal to
induce the railroads to prepare for
handling the great crop raised in the
state this seasof, and as a result the
companies have been moving thousands
OF cars into the western grain territory.
The Milwaukee has between 5000 and
1000 grain cars available. The North
Western has on sidetracks in South
Dakota about 1000 cars, and has put on
thirty of its new large type locomotives.
Figures compiled by the railroad COM
missioners show that the Milwaukee
& Puget Sound Railway Company has
added the current year $500 new cars
and 296 of its largest type locomotives.
The commissioners say that if the
receivers and shippers of freight will
be equally ~forehanded in providing facil-
tiles, and will do their share in promptly
loading and unloading cars, it will result
in making a large supply of empties
available and greatly lessen the pressu. e
for empty cars.
The commissioners will issue a state
ment to the public containing instruc-
tons Cor ordering cars, the promp load
ing and unloading of cars and requesting
shippers to try to reduce as much as
possible the full freight time allowed
for loading and giving to the railroad
companies of prompt notice when loaded
cars are ready for release and shipment.
The statement also will request that
all cars will be loaded to their full capac-
ity for deliveries to complete car loads;
also to be conservative in ordering any
more cars than they need at a time, and
to place their order in writing.

In a quarrel over a game of craps,

Four men were sentenced TO the state
penitentiary at a special term of circuit
court at Mitchell last week. Judge
