FEDERAL PRISONERS
HERE WEDNESDAY
Fourteen Federal COnyiCts Passed
Through MObridGe on Way
TO LeavenWOrth.

Fourteen federal prisoners in a
special car guarded by three deputy
United States ma! shals and ten
guards, passed through Mobridge
Wednesday forenoon on the
Olympian bound from the federal
prison at McNtil's island in the
Puget Sound. to the federal prison
at Leavenworth Kan. There are
three prisoners held to serve
twenty-five, thirty and forty years
for murder, five to serve eight
years for white slavery and the
other six for minor offences chiefly
counterfeit.ng.
Deputy United States Marshals
George Davenpeck, Ludwig Frank
and III. j. Doten are in charge OF
the ear which will be transferred
to the south tram, NO. lO4, TO-
night and complete It's journey.
When asked the cause for The
transfer from McNeils island to
| Leavenworth, Mr.. Doten said:
THE government Is making an
effort to segregate the long term
ers from those who are only IN tOl
long time. This is done for tie
purpose of giving different pri'
vileges and treatment to the short
term convicts. Besides, McNells
prison is Iretty crowded, and II
was found necessary to TO move
some of the men. Last year We
took thirty to LeavenwOrth."

MUCH BUILDING ON .S !,
THE PUGET SOUND
Many Branch Lines and Feeders Be.
ing Built in the West This
Season.

The Milwaukee system has re-
Gently issued new wall map show
ing the many new extensions be-
ing built on the Puget Sound line
this year 1t is interesting to
note the large number of branch
lines or feeders that this road has
from its main line, and the exten
sions under course of construction
at the present time.
Commencing at Mobridge there
are the Moreau and Cheyenne
river branches to Isabel and Faith,
and the New England branch from
Mclaughlin to New England, N.
ID. Then comes the branch from
HarlOwtOn to Lewistown and Hill
ger. Mont, and the extension
from LewistOwn to Great Falls,
Mont, now under construction.
1t is rumored that the road is con-
templating another new line from
Melstone, on the main line, to
Lewistown, this making straight
( run from Great Falls to the main
line.
West of there is the branch from
Three Forks to Salesville, Mont,
with spur lines from Belgrade
Junction to Belgrade and from
Bozeman Hot Springs to Bozeman.
West of there is the branch from
Bonner to Potomac and the exten-
sion from Potomac to Browns
Lake, now under course Of con-
structiOn.
Just east of the Washington
state line is the spur from st.
Maries to Elk River. West of
there is the line from Plummer,
Idaho, on the main line, to SpO-
kane, Wash. which is now under
course of construction, and will
connect through Spokane with the
Coer d d'Alene line.
At Warden, Wash, there is q
branch north and east through
Tifis to Marcellus, Wash, and
another branch from Tifiis to
Neppel, Wash, to Hanford, an
enterprising town on the Colum-
bia river.
At MonctOn, Wash, the line
branches, the main line going to
Everett. West of MOncton, on
the main line few miles, is a
small branch from Iolanthe to
Enumclaw. At Seattle steamer
line connects with the Bellington
Sumas, Glacier line, a recent acQui-
sitiOn of the road.
At Black River Junction, mid
) way between Iolanthe and Seattle,
is the line to Tacoma and Salsich
Junction, from which latter station
extends the branch to Morton, and
the other branch to Aberdeen and
Hoquaim.

NEARLY TIME
FOR HUNTING
Local Nimr0ds Are BEGINNING TO
Oil Up the Gun Some
Game Laws.

This is the time of the year
when the sport derived through
the hunting of the prairie chicken
and the ducks and geese begins to
creep into tie system of those fond
OF hiking ever the prairie in search
OF such game. Many there are
who are anxious for the season to
open and who look forward to this
as the real sport Of the year. A
good dog about this time of year
is generally considered a valuable
asset to the hunters outfit and
those who posses such an animal
figure that a dog is safer under
lock and key, as some dog thief
might come along and take a fancy
to the animal.
1t is also time for those desirous
of getting some of the good eating
OF the prairie to read over the
state laws, and for the benefit of
our rsaders we print the following
game laws for the year 1912, and
you should read them carefully
and avoid trouble.
Prairie chicken, grouse and
wOodcock may be hunted from
September 10th to October 9th
inclusive; this a week later than
the old law.
The open season for ducks and
geese extends from September
10th to April 10th inclusive.
Any person caught with dogs
and guns off a public highway dur
ing April May and June, will be
presumed to be breaking the law,
and subject to prosecution.
All game birds and animals are
protected in much the same manner
as by previous laws. Traps and
mechanical devices Of all kindl
are prohibited, and sunrise an(
sunset, between which times only
game may be killed, are determin-
ed by the calender. Decoys may
be used for shooting water fowl
Hunters shall not hunt in stand
ing grain or among the shocks OF
punched flax.
Possession of game during tn,
closed season will be prime facilt
evidence that the game was killed
, out Of season.
, Local licences may be obtained
from the cOdnty auditor for 81
Foreign licenses are $25 under
the new law, and will expire June
, 30th, following date Of issue.
: The bag is limited to ten prairie
t chickens, twenty wild ducks O
geese or combination of thes
kindred birds per day.
Twenty prairie chickens, turtl
: doves, cranes swans or grouse ma.
be shipped from the state, or com
l binatiOn of such birds fifty snipe
wild duck, plOver or brant or com
bination of such birds may b
shipped by any one person.

lope, bear, otter, elk and moose

murder of Guy Bolton at Shields,
described his part in the affair.
The testimony given at the

that Bolton was shot in a quarrel
and that liquor and jealousy over
Bottoms wife were the two causes.

SEEK TO AVERT

pers TO Prevent Possible

Der Of ears needed to handle the

! Garrett. chairman OF the Associa
ton OF Western railways, has
issued a circular letter to industrial
traffic managers and commercial
organizations urging them to do all
in Their power to prevent ear short
age this fail setting forth that the
same conditions are arising this
year that confronted the shippers
and the rail, Dads in October, 1907,
just before tile panic, which was
due, according 20 Mr. Garrett's
statement, to shortage Of ears to
handle the traffic, with the result
that railroad yards and terminals
were congested, the railroads were
unable to handle the traffic and
railways, shippers and the public
! suffe, ed severe losses.
During the past four years the
reduction in the net car supply be-
tween the third week in July and
the third week in October varied
from 128, $40 to 248, 755 cars. On
July IS, 1912, the surplus was 75.-
$50 and the shortage s, 467, max
= ing a net surplus of G8, 922 cars.
Therefore it viii be readily seen
that If the reduction in the avail
: able car supply between July and
October, 1912, be only equal to
T the smallest reduction that has
taken place during the same period
in any Of the four proceeding years,
viz: 1913, $40 cars, the country
! would be confronted on October
25th with q shortage Of 59,6lS cars.
If The reduction in the available
t supply Of ears should be as great
as it was in 1903, 248,75 cars,
, there would be a shortage on Octo-
=. Der 25th Of 179, ,833 cars.
! The situation created by even
e the smaller of these shortages
would be appalling. and the result
g ing losses suffered by all CONNER
e cial, industrial and transportation
interests enormous.
The condition likely to cause {
heavy demaud for ears and a re-
: sultant heavy reduction in the
4 supply exists. The traffic during
d various seasons Of the year varies
= During eight months of the yeal
there is large surplus OK cars
but during the four months in the
