AFTER ROBBERY, ASKS.
PRAYERS OF FAMILY

Aberdeen, s.. D., Feb. 1S.--As the
family of w. E.. Lindsey, a dairyman,
was eating supper, a stranger wearing
a stocking cap pulled over his face
with holes cut in 1T for his eyes inc
mouth, suddenly stepped into the room
with a drawn revolver, and ordered
the members of the family to hold up
their hands. He then demanded what
ever cash they had Lindsey's pockets
were empty, but he told the stranger
there was a small amount in the other
room. The robber ordered Mrs. Lind
sey to go into the adjoining room and
get the money. keeping her covered
meantime, through the open door, with
the revolver. The amount vas but
$1.15, and the man took it, grumbling
over the small amount secured for so
much trouble, and departed. saying as
he left:
Il am sorry I had to do this, but it
was forced on me Pray for me,
friends"
The police were notified and searched
the city thoroughly. and also a st.
Louis train which departed about the
time the hold up man left, but they
found no trace of the robber, who Is
believed to ne an amateur, as his voice
trembled as he issued his commands,
and he appeared much perturbed.

PERIsHo olscouRsEs
ON MINERAL. WEALTH

VerrnilIion, S. d, Feb. 1S.-In speak
ing Of the mineral of South
Dakota there are few people that appre-
ciate Just to what extent these re-
sources go. At a meeting of the scien-
tific society of the University of South
Dakota, Dean Ellwood c. Perisho, the
state g~eologist, recounted some OF the
facts obtained in a very recent inVesti-
cation of the lithium deposits or the
Black Hills, n the things that he said
are well worth the consideration OF the
general public.
Just a short distance from Custer
City there lives a man by the name OF
Warren Bond. This very i~nconspicuous
man owns a farm in that hilly section
upon which occurs a dixie of coarse
granite known to biologists as pegma-.
tite. Out OF this dixie comes the lith-
ium ore, amblygonite, leptdollte and
spodumene, that supplies not only this
whole country, but the greater part OF
the world, in the lithia products,
. There was a time when California
produced the only lithia products in
America. but. that was beforesMr. Bond
found his ~so-called mine, At that time
lithium carbonate was selling for IS a
pound. Now IL sells for so cents a
pound n the California mine has gone
out Of business. The lithla. products
are not manufactured in this country,
but the ore has to be sent to Germany
Tor reduction. AS taken out or the dixie
in question the owner receives $35 per
ton for the rock. but so far he has been
able to find but 400 tons of the ma
terial. 1t must be understood that the
ore does not occur in veins that can be
blasted out, but in lenticular masses
found scattered through the whole dixie,
without respect to definite situation
or direction. The dixie itself is 200 feet
wide n 1900 feet long n stands
200 feet above the level of the sur
rounding area. The mining must be
carried on by guesswork, for in sink
ing shafts or running tunnels into the
body there are ten chances to one that
no ore bodies would be encountered.
1t was for the purpose of advice in the
matter Of mining that Dean Perisho
happened to be called to Custer to see
this remarkable natural phenomenon.

evidence. Appeals may be taken d.
rect from the commission to the su-
preme court, but those appeals must
be based strici'y upon evidence intro
duced before the commission and no
new evidence may be taken before
the court.
There has been a tendency in the
- for corporations to deal lightly
with the hearing before the commits
sion, and to keep their real ammunI-
ton under cover, relying upon the right
TO open up along any desired line In
the court hearing.

INSURANCE PUBLICATION
LAW TO REMAIN AS IT Is

Pierre, s. D., Feb. 17.-It probably
is in order to state that the power
and influence of the South Dakota
press has been indicated. The mem
bers of the State Press association, as
we'll az many individual publishers of
the state, raised an cutlery against the
bill introduced by the senate commit
tee, which provided for appealing the
present statutory regulation for the
publication of insurance statements.
Something over $35, 900 has been IN
nually distributed to some, Of the state
newspapers through the publication of
these statements, and the publishers
seem to regard it as worth while" to
the extent of putting up a little fight.
After the insurance men say that they
had stirred up something, they at
tempted to secure a compromise reg.
ulation which cut down the length Of
the statements from 10 to five inches,
but compromises did not seem to be in
order. ,
When the measure was put to a vote
Ii only received the support of I've
members of the senate and Is consid-
cred a reasonably dead issue for the
remainder of this session

NEW POLICY ADOPTED
TOWARD SOLDIERS HOME

Hot Springs, s. d. Feb. ia bill
proposing to place the National Sol
dies home at Santa Monica, Cal, un-
der the war department, which was
passed by h Senate a few days ago
and sent TO the House, is the cause of
considerable speculation upon the part
Of members and officers Of the Battle
Mountain sanitarium, located here. 1t
is thought that this may be an expert
lnent as a result Of which all Of the
branch national homes for disabled
volunteer soldiers may eventually be
transferred to- the war department.
In the event that this sweeping
change should take place il might
cause u shake up on a rather large
scale in the administration of the vari-
Gus branch homes, since it is supposed
that regular army officers would be
assigned to these positions under the
direction Of the secretary of a
General p. H. Barry, Of Greeley.
Neb., former local manager Of the
Battle Mountain s%anitarium. was only
recently appointed to the position Of
governor Of the Pacific branch, and is
directly affected by this shift.

JOKER IN BANKERS BILL
ONLY SALIENT FEATURE

Pierre, 8. D.. Feb. ,17.-Members Of
the South Dakota senate have shown
a willingness to stand for almost any
thing in the line of legislation, but they
drew the line on making II a felony
to overdraw a bank account. Several
Of them admitted that their interest
In the subject a personal, as we'll
as general.
Senator Russell, of Brown county.
who is a banker, had presented a
measure recommended by the Ameri-
can Bankers association, which had
for its stated purpose the prevention
Of fraudulent checks and drafts. When
the bill came on the fioor for analysis
several Of the members pointed out
that the terms of the measure speci-
fically held anyone to be guilty of a
felony who issued a check in excess Of
the amount on deposit in a bank.
In the first section Of the bill 1t was
very conservatively stated that the
felopious action consisted in drawing
such excess checks or drafts with in
tent to defraud." In a later clause,
however, the bill provided that "the
making Of such check or draft will be
held as ,prima facie evidence of intent
to defraud."
BY amendment the senate struck out
the provision as to "prima facie evil
dence of intent to defraud," and
changed the classification of. the Of
Tense from a felony to a misdemeanor.
After these changes had Deer made
the author of the bill declared that its
salient features had been DESTROYED
and moved for it's indefinite postpone
inert. n motion prevailed.

SALOON KEEPERS ELECTIVE
LIKE OTHER CITY OFFICERS

Pierre, s. D., Feb. 17.-Direct cleo
ton OF saloon keepers is a. proposition
which has been submitted by Senator
J.. l.. Brown. as an amendment to d
bill by Senator Wfpf, making some
changes in the method Of granting sa-
loon licenses in cities and towns. Sem
ator Browns idea is that all applicants
for license should be compelled to sub
NIT their candidacy at h regular mu-
nicipal election, the voters being thus
enabled to make the selection where
the number Of applicants exceeded the
number of licenses to be granted, and
also being given the right to reject
any individual applicant.
On account of the agitation for re-
ducing the number of saloons, as In
volved In several pending bills, Sem
ator Browns elective proposition be-
comes quite a feature and a attracted
the favorable attention of many mem
bers of the legislature 1t is said to
be an entirely new suggestion in con-
nection with the system of granting
saloon licenses.
TIE Wipf bill seeks to remove the
present arbitrary power OF the. county
commissioners with reference to APP
proving OF disappearing license appli-
cations, 1t still leaves the county
board the right to reject applicants
who. have violated any of the liquor
laws. but the question of such vio-
lation is made an element of evidence,
subject to court appeal. Under the ex-
-isting law the county board is the last
resort.

SOUTH DAKOTA INTERESTS IN
JOHfI MCCLELLAN ESTATE

Sioux Falls, s. D., Feb. l7.-South
Dakota has won first blood as the re-
suit of a decision rendered by, Judge
Jones. The decision marks another
stage in the prolonged litigation in
volving h estate Of John Mcclellan,
a Sioux Falls pioneer, who died as the
result of an pacident ID years ago. The
courts had previously held that the
estate, valued at between $4,000 and
5 10000, belonged to South Dakota be-
cause there were no legal heirs. What
are known as the Arkansas claimants
have a case pending before Judge
Jones. and the decision just rendered
by him is on a motion Of the claimants
asking that the state Of South Dakota
be excluded from Intervening. Judge
Jones has denied the motion.

STRINGENT CENSORSHIP OF

Pierre, S. D., Feb, 17.--More stringent

and OF printed literature is involved in
the Morris bin, which passed the house
Thursday afternoon by a fairly decisive
vote, although bitterly opposed by u
number of members. Some opponents
OF the bill raised the point that 1t can
be made to apply to telling funny"
stories, but the author insisted that
this was a very strained construction.
II the measure Is passed by the SEN
ate and approved by the governor, 1t

tional board of censors, as the prohi-
bition extends to all themes connected
with murders and illicit loves, in addi-

IN which the total contract price was a
little less than $4,000. This was the
so-called publicity pamphlet, contain
ing the referended and initiated laws
and constitutional amendments sub
mitted to the voters,
AS the committee failed to get a very
specific estimate from the contractor,
j. r.. Nipple, as to how much the job
should have been reasonably worm
the pamphlet was handed e TO MT
Thomas for an expert estimate: Allow
ingNfor all items OF labor and material
he figures that the cost of the job to
the contractor should have been So.
934.0S. Allowing a profit OF one-third
above cost, he estimated that the cost
to the state, should, have been $b.245.45.
Mr.. Nipple admitted in his testimony
that the job had been a lucrative one
to the contractor and explained that
the specifications were not In form o
intelligent bidding. He testified that
the work could have been done by him
for about half price IL he had known
exactly what was to be required, and
gave an estimated that he had received
probably $4,000 above a reasonable
profit IN h job.
II there were those who thought the
printing Investigation was going to be
a joke-and there seemed to be some
preliminary sentiment to that effect
the chances are that they are now
looking at the In a hangeu
mood. The investigating committee
has been Saving wood" nearly every
day and an array Of facts and figures
has been secured which the legislature
is not likely to ignore. Members who
were at first inclined to treat h agita-
ton as q mere local fight are COM
mencing to realize that the state has
been decidedly careless at least in az
fairs concerned with the expenditure
Of many thousands Of dollars each
year. Ia
The prospects are that the investi-
eating committee will recommend,
among other things. the need Of a com
petent supervisor, of public printing
either appointed by the governor or
elected by the legislature. 1t will be
pointed out that the members OF the
printing commission, as a rule, have
no expert knowledge of this subject
and that many of the abuses of the
past are due to the system which has
been in force. There has been no past
attempt apparently, to accurately de
fine the duties Of the expert printer
who has been employed In this state.
This official testified that he had not
attempted to exercise any Of the duties
or responsibilities OF a supervisor, but
that his work had related merely to
checking up the completed jobs to see
If they correspondent to the contracts
and the statements filed.
