Publicity Pamphlets.

= Si'S'Ny
Pierre.-Assistant Secretary John T.
Nelson has footed up the cost Of send
ing out publicity pamphlets giving in
formation as to constitutional amend
ments and laws to be submitted to the
people. His figures cover the cost Of
printing the pamphlets and tying them
for sending out to the counties, as the
law requires the counties to pay the
expressage IF postage on the ship
ments fro \ the state, and his figures
show . total cost to the state Of $13,-
$40. TO this, to get the total cost,
would need be added the express on
packages sent to the counties, along
with the envelopes and postage for
mailing, with whatever expense would
be added for clerk hire for such work.
AS most of the counties, IL not all,
sent the pamphlets out bearing one
cen stamps, this expense was not
heavy, but now the voters are calling
on the newspapers to tell them what
laws they are to vote upon, but do not
appear to be getting my hearty re-
Spouse to their requests.

Voters Are at Sea.
Pierre.-Assistant Secretary John
Nelson has footed the cost Of sending
the publicity pamphlets giving infor-
nation as to constitutional amend
ments and laws to be voted for by the
people. He figures the state cost at
S13,S1O. The voters are asking the
state department and the papers of the
state to tell them what they are to
vote on this fall, and, as the state de-
partment has completed its part of
that work, the papers are not enthu-
siastic in explanations. Therefore
the voter will have to dig for himself
if he wants to know what he is going
to vote upon in November.

To Cross Pine Ridge.
Pierre.-State Engineer Lea has re-
ceived permission from the Indian de-
partment of the government to enter
upon and cross the northwest corner
of the Pine Ridge Indian reservation
with a preliminary survey for the pro-
posed irrigation ~Is'oject to take wa
ter from the south branch of Cheyenne
river near Cheyenne Falls, and bring
it out past the head waters. Of Pad
river for distribution in the western
part of Stanley cuunty. The state en-
gineer has been doing preliminary
work in this plan fer some time, but
has never reached the point Of ar act
ual survey of the proposed route. The
plan If carried out would be almost
equal to the Belle Fourche project. and
would utilize a great natural basin not
far from Scenic as the storage reser-
voir for holding water. The ditch
would be much longer than the n at
Relic Fourche, but the expense which
attached to the construction of the big
dam at Belle Fourche would be elm
mated through the use of this natural
reservoir.

On the other hand, take Our

winter before to keep the town free
from ice? We answer nothing.
And yet it is their swore duty to
do this. That's what they was
elected to the office to do. But in
stead of looking after the interests
of the town, Cy Hoskins spends
most of the winter settin before the
fire trying to keep warm. Deacon
Butterworth spends most of his
time doing chores, and as for Bill
Hepburn he is intoxicated about
three days of the week and the rest
of the time he is busy in his black
smith shop trying to make enough
to get full on again. What do the
town selectrnen care whether the
crossings is icy or not and the resi-

Nothing.
We hope that the damage suits
brought against the town and
against Ranse will have a salutea-
tory effect and that hereafter not
only our citizens but also the town
selectrnen will fulfill their duties to
the best of their several abilities.

sells that it happened. What will

Constable DeWberry vigiIant

Seth Dewberry, our lion-hearted town
constable, is planning a summer cam
paign against the automobiles which
are accustomed to go through our
midst at the rate of about IS miles per
hour.
Seth says as soon as the roads gets
good he is going to put up a gate acrost
the road at each end of the town, and
when he sees a automobeel coming in
either direcshion he Is going to shut
this gate and require the automobeel
to go through town slow or else not
go through at all.
This plan will probably work well
enough if Seth sees the automobiles
coming in time to put it into execushion
but 1t has been Our experiment that
when a automobile goes through Bing-
Vile it is about three miles away and
out of sight before any persons awak-
ems to the realizashion of what has

joke ON Yves
He Thought It Was Bob Cat Tracks
ALSO a Joke on HOd
Perkins

Hold Perkins is a11us playing Jokes on
somebody and the last one he played
on Yves Woodruff, our expert hunter
and trapper. Hold took a big potato
and he carved it with his pen knife
until he made paw out of it just like
the paw of a bob-cat, so that when he
would push the potato into the snow it
would leave a track there which looked
for all the world like bobcats track.
Well, Hold he went to the lower edge
of Bingville and he made bob-cat's
tracks along the road in the snow and
on the fence and then acrost the field
and to the foot of a big oak tree with a
hole in it about % feet from the ground
like as if the bob-cat went up the tree
and into the whole.
Then Hold, he hunted up Yves and
told Yves he had discovered some tracks
near town that he didn't know what
they was, but being as Yves was SIGH a
expert hunter & trapper he would prob
ably know what they was at a glance
Yves he said he could tell the track of
anythink, no matter what it was, and
so he took his gun and went with Hod
and as soon as he got his eyes on the
tracks he said: chat is a bob-cat as
sure as you're born-never knowed
bob-cat to come SO close to Bingville
beforel"
Yves he follered the tracks until they
come to the tree Then he says, bod
gasted if he amt inside that treel See
that hole where he went in I"
Hold said he did and Hold stayed by
the tree and watched while Yves went
home and got his axe and come back
all outen breath and chopped hard for
two hours, until he was all sweat up
and the tree fell with crash, and Yves
he grabbed up his gun and waited for
the bob-cat to jump out, but it didn't,
and then Yves examined the hole and
found that it only went into the tree
about a foot and was empty.
By this time Hold was blame near
Dustin hisself latin and then he up and
told Yves how he had fooled him with
a potato It would of been a good cal
better if Hold had kept his mouth shet
about this part of it, because as soons
as Yves found out he grabbed holt of
Hold and give him a turrible wallopin
right there and BACKED one eye and
kicked him around awful until Hold hol-
Tered enough and Emped all the way
home.
Hod is now talking about persecut-
ing Yves for a salt. Hold is a great
hand to play jokes on folks, but awful
poor hand to take one hisself.

The law case of Amaziah Goo
| kins VS.. Ranse Hillyer and also VS..
the town of Bingville only goes to
prove what we have been preaching
in the Bugle for 10, these many
years, namely, that it behoofs our
citizens individually and the town
of Bingville collectively to keep
the streets and sidewalks free from
snow and ice in the winter time
even if it does cost a little labor.
We have said time and again that
Bingville would have damage suit
on her hands, and now she has got
it.
What the result of this damage
suit will be is uncertain. Amaziah
asks for $4,000 damages from
Ranse Hil1yer and $4,000 damage
from Bingville, making $4,000 in
all. Up to the hour of going to
press Amos Hillyer, our talented
legal light and loryer and J. of the
P, before who the case was tried,
has not handed down his verdict,
but the evidence is all in and the
verdict is only a question of time.
We felt in our bones that sooner
or later something like this would
happen in our midst, and we have
said so time and again in this news
paper, warning Our citizens to clean
the ice from in front of their prop
critics and urging the town Select
men to take steps to remove same
from the street crossings so as our
citizens would not fall and break
their fool necks.
Only last week we met Harve
Hines Our tonsorial barber, and we
told Harve that if we was in his
place we would sprinkle ashes in
front of his residence on Main
street, being as the ice was so slip
perry at that point that somebody or
other would fall and break a leg
or something and then he would
find hisself jerked up for on charge
of falling with intent to kill or
something like that
Harve told us that he didn't
calkilate that the ice on his side
walk was any of Our particular
business, being as there wasn't suf-
fcient ice there to do any damage
anyhow. We didn't say anything
more, but passed on.
Next morning Harve oversight
hisself. He snatched a bite of
breakfast and run out his front
door in his hurry to reach his bar
Der shop, when he slipped on the
ice and fell, landing largely on thu
