The plan was suggested to Mr..

In the Sioux City Market the
Largest for the Year

Sioux City, Oct. Receipts of
cattle at the local stock yards yester-
day comprised 240 loads, or practical
ly 1000 head. This is the largest run
for any one day for the current year.
The supply consisted Of 100 loads from
the range districts of Nebraska, South
Dakota and Montana; Is loads from
Kansas City and two loads from Colo
RADIO, while the remaining 80 loads
were natives from the contiguous
trade territory.
In view of the fact that all centers
snow q decrease in cattle receipts for
the year to date, as compared with the
same time of last year-which falling
off at Sioux City amounts to 80, 000
from the 293, 900 received here during
that time a year ago-the quota OF
1000 head compares well with the
high run of {. $500 reported here the
second Monday in September, 1911,
and the $500 on sale October 23.
1899. which was the record in heavy
cattle receipts at this point for any one

sioux Falls, Oct. THE arrest of
George w. Childs better known as
"Gunshoe' Childs. at Primghsr. Ia,
on the charge of jumping a board
bill in an adjoining town, is of
peculiar interest to a number of resi-
dents of Sioux Falls, for the reason
that the local authorities say Childs
is the same individual who early in
September appeared in Sioux Falls and
victimized a number of saloon men, as
we'll as other citizens.
Claiming to have been given the
necessary authority by u member of
the city commission he visited the sa-
loon men, and, on the plea that q
fund was needed to enable him to
run down and arrest restaurant men
who were alleged to bs selling ia
violation of the law. be assessed the

Der of instances collected this sum
before the saloon men were ma lie
aware that he had no authority to
collect any SUN from them. The city
commissioners have evinced Q desire
to investigate Childs' connection with
the saloon men here and an effort
may be made to have him brought
back to Sioux Falls to testify as to
which member of tine city commission
authorized him to come to Sioux Falls
and inaugurate a campaign against al
legged illegal sellers of liquor.
1t also is said that Childs succeeded
in victimizing the managers of one

NEGRO HOMESTEADER
Arrested in Perkins County for
Murder of Woman and
Daughter

Bison, Oct. Joe Reiger, a negro
homesteader near Bixby, is in the
Perkins county Jail here charged with
the murder of Mrs. Ellen Fox, q wild
ow. and her 14-year-old daughter, who
were holding down a claim nea Reig-
er's homestead. The crime was dis
covered when neigh bors found that the
shack on Mrs Fox's homestead had
been destroyed by fire during the night.
Investigation revealed the dead bodies
of the and girl in the burning
embers Of the house. At first it was
thought Mrs. Fox had attempted to
light the gasoline stove. when il ex-
ploded, killing her and setting fire
to the house. Later ii was found
that the skulls of both victims had
been crushed, and there were great
gashes on their bodies. Suspicion
then attached to Reiger, because 10
was known to have quarreled with the
woman. The negro was arrested and
is said to have made damaging admis-
sions. coroner's jury was empaneled
and the evidence against Reiger was
considered sufficient to justify hold
ing him for trial for murder and he
was brought to the county iail here.
Mrs. Fox was greatly esteemed. She
had worked energeticslly to place her
homestead on q paying basis. She
has a brother residing in Day county,
between Andovei and Langfori, and
he has been notified concerning the dis
position of the bodies.

CHEETAH HUNT IN INDIA
Sport Was Once Very Popular With
English Residents-is Not
Rare Beast.

The cheetah hunt which the vice.
roy witnessed recently at Hyderbad
reminds one that cheetah hunting was
an extremely popular sport with In.
dian princes In former days, although
the Initiation Of European forms Of
sport has done much In these times
to rob 1t OF ancient vogue.
It was practiced both by Hindu
and Mohammedan chieftains over the
greater part Of India, for the cheetah
even now is not rare beast. and a
century or so ago must have been
common enough.
Another animal used In the same
way by Indian mobiles was sort Of
lynx. spelled variously as shoe.
goose" "syahgush." But this was
used much more rarely than the chez.
tab. However, It was not only In.
dans who indulged in this form of
sport.
II was enjoyed and practiced by
Europeans as we'll in the days when
they were content to abide in India
for fifteen years at stretch and
when they lived lIndienne In way
unknown to modern times. More than
one Of the Company's nabobs kept
their own cheetahs. which were fre.
quently presents from friendly chiefs.
It may easily be imagined that chez
tab hunting was very good sport and
welcomed by the servants Of the
Company as an excellent substitute
for the coursing which was familiar
