klDNAPS CHILDREN FROM
MOTHER AT SPEAREISH

Spearflsh, s. d., Nov. 24.-This place
was the scene OF a sensational kidnap-
Ing wien Del Thomas suddenly APP
peared here, n by a ruse, secured
possession OF his two small children,
fleeing with them across the Wyoming
boundary line, a few miles to the west
ward of Spearfish. Disagreements be-
tween himself and his wife resulted in
his leaving the country about eight
months ago. He returned unannounced
and on a plea that he wished to take
the children to a motion picture show
he secured the consent of his wife to
let them accompany him. Instead of
going to the theater he took the chill
dren to a conveyance which he had in
readiness n drove at top speed into
Wyoming. No trace OF him has thus
far been found. The children are about
s and 3 years Of age. 1t Ia said an
attorney advised him that IL he could
gain possession OF the children and
flee with them 1t would be up to his
wife to open a legal fight for their re-
coYery. ,-#

kIRGHiz CATTLE PRAISED
H.. H BY PROFESSOR HANSEN

Brookings, s. D., Nov. 24--"The
Kirghiz cattle Of southern Siberia are
considered immune to tuberculosis and
produce a higher per cent of butter
fat in their milk than any other known
breed" was the startling statement
made by Prof. N. f. Hansen in an
address to State college students.
While il is not known whether the
immunity to tuberculosis is absolute
or relative, Professor Hansen declared
that Immunity could be transferred to
other breeds by crossing, 1t would be
q great boon to mankind to introduce
this breed into America. He said there
Is no question as to the richness and
the high per cent or butter fat In the
milk OF the Kirghiz cows. Professor
Hansen expressed regret that he had
no funds with which to bring back
with him specimens of these animals
for testing in South Dakota.

Pierre. s. D., Nov. 25.-Statements
have recently been very extensively
published in the northwest to the eff
feet that the lines separating Iowa and
Minnesota and the line separating
Minnesota and South Dakota were sur
Veyed by Jefferson Davis. The depart

the territory of Iowa, Jefferson Davis
was a member of congress from
Mississippi, and that in 1859, when the
Minnesota, Dakota line was surveyed,
Davis was an exceedingly belligerent
