BUILDING AN INSTITUTION
Board Asks Legislature for Enough
Money to Equip tuberculosis
Sanatorium.

The board of Charities and Correc-
tions has asked of the Legislature the
appropriation of enough money to prop
erly equip the tuberculosis sanitorium
at Custer to fill its field in South Dakota.
The institution now has accommodations
for only fourteen patients. There are
5000 people in the State more or less
affected with tuberculosis. The insti-
tuition is new one, and has just fairly
gotten started in its work of providing a
place for our own people for proper
treatment for this terrible but curabls
disease. 1t is not properly equipped for
its work. 1t is not sufficiently housed
nor provided. Its location is ideal and
all that is needed to put it where it can
do its fine work of healing is to put back
of it the money that it needs.
The Board asks for $3S, 800 for the first
year and for $33, 800 for the second year.
Plans in the first year call for the con-
struction of new pavillions, for the build
ing of an infirmary, the erection of a
cottage for employees, the building of a
barn and granary, the purchase of land
for the disposal of sewage. and an ap-
preparation for the suitable furnishing
of the new buildings Phe Board also
asks for additional appropriations for
maintenance 30 that additional nurses
can be employed, and so that a patient
who goes to this institution may have
as complete and perfect care as in any
Sanatorium in the United States.
We all favor economy, but economy
at the cost of the health of our people ia
cruelty. South Dakota has undertaken
to do her mans part in the fight against
tuberculosis. Other states are taking q
hand in the fight, and South Dakota
one of the richest of the young states
owes it to the world TO do her share
and to do it rightly. Nearly $4,000, ,00(
was spent in this country last year in
the public and private expenditures in
the fight against tuberculosis. Of thi.
sum over five million dollars was spent
in New York alone. In view of these
figures, the appropriations asked of the
present session of the Legislature are
small. Having gone into this grea
work, the State should do it right. NJ
taxpayer in the State will object to suct
expenditure of the public money

TIE HERD LAW.

The state law adopted by the people
OF the State at the recent election and
commonly known as the "herd law" is
entitled in the Civil Code "trespass of
animals" and provides that "any person
or persons having in his or their charge
or possession goats, sheep or swine, or
any such animals, which shall trespass
upon the lands of another, or upon lands
fenced or unfenced belonging to any
person or persons other than the owner
or owners of such animals, such person
or persons owning or having in charge
or possession such trespassing animals,
shall be liable to any party or parties
sustaining such injury for all damages
he, she or they may sustain by reason
of such trespass."
There is provision that action for
damages shall be commenced within
sixty days after the infiction of such
damage.
Now the part of this law in which
every person who owns stock may be-
come interested is this: In case dam
age is done by trespassing stock it is not
necessary for the person actually to get
possession of the stock, but if he is able
to positively identify the ownership of
the animals the possession of said ami.
mails is not material
Before any action can be commenced
the owner of the trespassing stock must
be notified and given opportunity to
settle, and in such settlement the actual
damage and expense of holding the ami
mails are items of consideration. In the
event Of failure to agree and consequent
court action the amount of actual dam
age must be proven.
In this connection it will be interest
ing to learn that the total destruction of
a crop of wild grass has been estimated
at 80 cents per acre in western South
Dakota. This valuation is established
by court decisions in cases of fires start
ed by railroad engines, etc.
In case of damage done by unclaimed
stock, action is brought against owner
unknown, and if judgment is rendered
the animals are sold and the damage
and cost paid, and any surplus that re-
mains goes to the county school fund

REV. FIR. MOONEY =

Charles Swanson, one of the best
known prospectors in the southern
Hills, was burned to death in his home
at Rockford early last Saturday morn
ing. When neighbors went to his cabin
they found it in ashes and Swanson's
crisp body in the ruins. The fire was
discovered about 5 o'clock in the morn
ing, and had gained such headway
that the person discovering 1t could not
gain an entrance to the building. 1t is
believed that Mr.. Swanson arose shortly
before that time, built hot fire and
then laid down on the bed again and fell
asleep, and that spark from the stove
or an overheated chimney had set fire
to the building, and that he suffocated
in his sleep. Mr.. Swanson has BROTH
er, Victor, living in Rapid City, where
he is engaged in the jewelry business.
Deceased owned at the time of his death
considerable mining property. He was
about 55 years old.

CUSTER, SO. OAK.

The Inauguration of the parcels post
system has go far not made any appreci-
able difference in the Custer postoffice.
A number of bundles and packages have
been received since the first of the year,
and few have been sent, but the num-
ber is not very much in excess of the
amount of merchandise sent through the
mail before parcels post was adopted.
