GOODS STOLEN RECON-
Erred.

After attempting to crawl through
a side window. parties evidently am
ateurs last night succeeded in fore
ing the rear door to the tailoring es-
establishment of c. w. Adams and
taking goods valued at several hun
dred dollars. Later most of the
property was found nearby, so that
the loss from the break is merely
nominal.
Employees discovered that the shop
had been entered when they came to
work this morning. The glass in the
window was broken, but no attempt
was made to enter when the steel
bars were encountered. The lock
and bolts to the door were then fore
cd. The principal loss was the
to several suits being made
and Il number of suits in the shop
for pressing.
One pile of clothes was found near
the door, whore evidently it had been
left by the thieves through fright.
In the middle of the forenoon, Chief
of Police Wood Smith found most of
the remainder OF the stolen property
in a box across the alley from the
shop. The ann in which the
place was entered and that the faint

DENVER BADLY
DEFEATED BY ""
VERMILLlON ELEVEN so MUCH
FASTER THE COLORADO
TEAM is CARRIED OFF IT'S
FEET.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-With due re-
spect to Denver, South Dakota Uni
versity's football team is so much
faster than the Colorado squad that
the latter appeared amateurish by
comparison. The difference was en-
phatically indicated Saturday after
noon when Denver was Literally walk
ed away with and lost by a score of
AZ to o in a onesided exhibition of
football. 1t vas appropriately sug-
gested by a Sioux Falls rooter yes
terday that Denver schedule a game
with our high school team"
South Dakota's wonderful speed
and trick formations spelled defeat to
the Coloradans. The effort was not
unlike a slow thinker trying to solve
a difficult problem rapidly. The prob
lem might have been one of South
Dakota's innumerable trick plays and
before Denver could arrive at a con-
c~lusion the problem was for from
10 to 40 yards down the field.
From the side lines the game vas
an intensely interesting one. Where
the various plays could be seen from
a distance they We're a marvel but
from Denver's perspective they could
not be seen until too late. One fol-
lowed another in quick succession
and all worked like a well-regulated
clock. When Denver appeared to
master one equasion, a different
hypothesis was required and the n
swer in most cases from Denver's
point of view was ''too much"
In every department of the game
South Dakota eNcelled. Gains were
as certain through the line as around
end. On the other hand Denver's
chief gains were backward. The
Denver players simply were unable
to fatlom their wiley adversaries and
it became a game of defensive pay
ug alone for them.

PATSY" O'NEILL
CLOSES RANCH
1000 ACRES CONTROLLED BY
HIM TAI1EN OVER BY NEW
CORPORATION in FAULK
COUNTY.

F%aulkton, S. D.-Probably no land
or stock deal in this part of South
Dakota in recent years has proven
half so interesting to the press and
people of the state as the closing out
Edmunds county on the part of p.
III. O'Neil, one of the best known and
most deservedly popular stockmcn in
the entire northwest.
Through a deal recently closed Mr..
O'Neil has disposed of his entire stock
interests in the two counties to the
Faulkton Livestock which
corporation was recently formed here
and will have its headquarters in the
rooms recently vacated by Mr.. O'Neil
The officers of the new company in
charge of the business here are, f.
Means. president and J.. f. Boysen
secretary.
The pasturage and grazing lands
which pass from the ownership of
Mr.. O'Neil to the new company as a
result of this deal, consist of 1910
acres of decided and leased lands in
Faulk county and 1000 acres in Ed
munds county, together with fences,
wells, buildings and other improve
ments.
In closing up this seasons business
preparatory to disposing of his stock
enterprises in the tate, Mr.. O'Neil re-
Gently shipped 500 steers from his
ranch at Bowdle in Edmunds county,
and $500 head from his Faulk
county ranches. The cattle graded
HIGH hoinu cnnciInrnl ox{,, ra.l
averaged 1,150 pounds in weight and
netted him a trifle over SIS per head.
During the season ending in the
fall of 1912 Mr.. O'Neil sold 1000
head of cattle, realizing therefrom
the sum of $500. 900.
Articles recently published in some
of the papers of the state have sought
to show that Mr.. O'Neil has disposed
of all property in this county and
state. This is false: as he has. with
in the past few days, paid taxes on
several we'll improved farms in Faulk
county. embracing over fourteen quar-
ter sections of land or a total of O.
800 acres, not to mention other pro-
perry and building lots in the city of
F%aulkton.
In addition to retaiping his interest
in Faulk county land as above stated.
Mr.. O'Neil continues to be an extern
sive owner of bank stock in these
parts. He is vice-president of three
Faulk county banks. viz: the Merch-
ants bank of Faulkton, the bank of
Cresbard and the First State bank of
Onaka. He is also the owner of large
of stock in the Redfield Nat
ional bank of Redfield and the West
ern National bank of Mitchell.
Mr.. O'Neil left here on Saturday
to rejoin his wife and family and
spend the winter at Los Angeles. Cal
ifornia. where he is the owner of a
palatial home.
1t is a far cry from a thatch COW
cred shack on a ranch in the wilds of
Faux county to a mansion on one of
the handsome boulevards in the city
of Los Angeles; but Patsey is clearly
to whatever of benefit may
accrue from the change. He has been
a hard worker. has dealt squarely
with his fellow man, and has not a
friend of acquaintance, man, woman
or child in the county that does not
wish him health and length of days
in which to enjoy the fortune he has
amassed and to which he is so clear
ly entitled.
