Stole Suit of Clothes

One James Garvin entered the tailor
shop of X. C. Holland, in this city, on
Tuesday and attempted to make his
getaway with suit of clothes. Mr..
Holland detected Garvin in the act and
tried to stop him before he got out OF
the door. Mr.. Holland being crippled
inlSae leg could not overtake the fellow
who got out on the sidewalk. The
tailor called to John E. Ray, who was
standing on the street to stop Garvin.
John was at one time soldier and the
call of Holland sounded more like a
command than request and John
obeyed and took the flying thief into
custody and marched him back to the
tailor shop with the suit of clothes.
Once inside the tailor shop Garvin
dropped the suit of clothes and made a
run through the back door. Soldier
Ray was after him and after run to
the old hospital came upon his man.
The fellow desired to know what right
Mr.. Ray had to make an arrest and
John told him because 81 am a fire.
man." That seemed sufficient and
John took the fellow and turned him
over to Chief Garrick. Wednesday
morning Garvin was taken before
Justice Oscar Grue who awarded him
twenty days in the county jail.

FARMERS INSTITUTE
THE ATTENDANCE FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY LIGHT
WRONG Time OF THE YEAR
Farmers Are Too Busy This Fiue
Fall Weather Flowing, Or
Are Taking Advantage
OF The Good Roads
To Haul Grain

Sessions of the Farmers Institute
were held in this city at the court
house on Friday and Saturday of last
week. We regret to say that the
attendance at these meetings was very
light. Our regrets are due to the fact
that the lecturers had many things in
their talks which would hsve been of
great value to every faamer in Day
county and we wish that all of the
tillers of the soil in Day county could
have been present and profited by the
experience which is being paid for by
the state for the benefit of them and
the other farmers Of the state. Farm
ers who were present received some
very valuable information.
There are two good reasons for the
non attendance af the farmers, viz:
First, Many of them had not finished
their tall blowing and as that is one of
the principal assets of the farm, they
were very busy taking advantage of
the beautiful fall weather trying to
put the finishing touches upon their
farms. You could not have pried many
of them loose from their plows with a
crow bar to say nothing Of farmers
institute. Flowing to them is more
essential for crop next year than the
lectures of the institute.
Second. Many farmers, who have
their blowing done, were busy hauling
their grain. The roads are in an excep.
tional good shape at the present time
and there 10 chance when the winter
time comes that it will not be as easy
to move, grain as it is now and these
farmers were getting their grain into
town while they could and would not
desist to listen to lectures.
Then the business men, who have
given a great deal of attention to the
advertising of the farmers institute
and providing few side attractions in
the way of prizes, were too busy taking
care of the wants of the many farmers,
who were hauling their grain and Going
their shopping, to give any attention
whatever to the institute work.
The writer is firmly impressed with
the good to be done by institute
work. There is no use, however, try
ing to hide the fact that this was the
wrong time of the year. The time to
hold these meetings is after the farm
ers have their fall blowing and hauling
done. No amount Of advertising, no
amount of persuasion will get large
attendance at any other time. We
hope that the dates for Day county in
the future will be some time in Janu-
airy or February and then we can
assure the lecturers the earnest

The United States VS.. John j. Hout-
The accused has entered a plea of
guilty to the charge of the larceny of
$3.50. 90 from the postoffice at Butler,
South Dakota. Evidence of the guilt
of Hout was first brought to our atten-
ton by Mr.. John v. Martin, of Butler,
South Dakota, member of the police
force there. Undoubtedly the indict-
ment and conviction of Hout is due to
Mr.. Martins efforts, as he was able to
secure the return of the money from
Hout in connection with other matters
which had come under Mr.. Martins
observations and in which Hout was
involved. / feel that Mr.. Martin should
be rewarded for his services in this
matter, a. well as the interest he has
taken in the enforcement of the federal
law, and / therefore have the honor to
recommend that Mr.. Martin receive as
liberal reward as your department can
consistently allow in this case.
Very respectfully,
