following as proof that South
Dakota farmers are on easy street
these days: The prosperous con
ditiOn of the average South Oak
Ota farmer is Illustrated by an
incident reported by A. a. And
q son, manager OF a local grain
elevator. -Four years ago he was
an naoer Of an elevator in a small
town west of Aberdeen, and on
Dec ., 1908, issued to a farmer
a cheek for S192. II in payment
for grain. Not until a day or two
ago did the farmer present the
check for payment. The bank of
ticialS were suspicious because OF
the LONG interval since the check
purported to have been drawn,
and yesterday it was received by
An derson for his approval. Here
ported to the bank that there
was nothing wrong with it
except that the man to whom
the check was issued was too
prosperous or he would have
cashed it long ago.

Sunday afternoon gathered at
the building on the west side
formerly used by Gus Swanson

occupied by John Lewis as a
store room for hay. where the
boys We're passing the time
playing cards and smoking cigar
cites. In some manner they
started a fire, and came near
burning down the building with
$500 worth of bay that was stor-
cd their. Had they not succeed
ed in putting out the fire before
it reached the hay the boys
would have been up against a
serious proposition, and Mr..
Lewis says that if in the future
he finds the boys over there
again making rendezvous of the
building mentioned he will prose
cute them to the full extent of
the law. The boys are not only
endangering the property Of 9th

own lives in such indulgences.

WIFE MAY EJECT. Il !
HUSBAND FROM
HER OWN STORE
Court Decides in Favor of
:. Woman When Pair.
Is Arrested.

That a wife has perfect right to
eject a husband who enters a place OF
business which she In conducting unless
lie first proves his title to such bust
ness was the ruling laid down by Judge
Pugh In the District branch OF the
Police Court today In the joint case OF
leon and Sarah Stills, husband and
wife charged with disorderly conduct.
Stills and his wife determined some
time ago according to the evidence
more money by operating two stores In
stead Of one. The husband, who Is
located In the grocery business at 1904
M street northwest, agreed that his wife
established a similar business at 32Ss
NJ street some doors away. The com
bination bought their goods In large
quantities and realized larger profits.
One day not long ago, however, a cloud
came upon the marital, and incidentally
the, commercial. horizon of the Stills
combination. The trust" became two
separate and individual independencies.
Stills declared on the stand that his
wife contracted bills at her store and
he had to pay them. He decided to
harness the stores into one again de-
spite the fact that he and his wife's
heart beat on as two. When he went
to transfer the stock from her store
she threw him out. Both were arrested
and charged with disorderly. conduct.
'"She has a perfect right to throw
You out said the court In deciding
the matter. You must first prove your
title to the goods which she claims as
hers. You have no right to enter her
store and try to take her property
with out the consent of the law than
You have to enter the place OF a stran-
ger and try a similar act"
Silis caused merriment to ring through
the court room by confding to the
Judge that Captain Schneider, Of the
Seventh precinct. had advised him to
lock his wife In the rear, OF the store.
and then move the stock to his own
place. Judge PuRh said he thought
Sillis misunderstood the police captain
The court dismissed the case against
Mrs. Silis. and took the personal bond

further molest his wife until the case
had been settled by civil acfiop
