yANKTON VETS
Are Fearful that That Their
Saloon Petition Is Not
Good

Yankton. April 7.-Is this city to 60
dry" is the live question that has
suddenly forced itself to the attention
OF business men through unforeseen
conditions. The usual petition to the
city commission. asking that an cleo
.tion be called to vote on the grant
ing Of liquor licenses, was overlooked
in the city auditors office until the
last minute, when a hurry up special
meeting of the commission was called
to act unon the petition. which il did
favorably. Then IL was discovered
that the petition had only 81 signers,
a number of them very doubtful free
holders. The new law requires 25 free
holders. which many claim the petition
does not contain. 1t is contended it
would be easy to tie up the petition by
legal action, which would make
Yankton a dry town. On the other
hand the ''wets." who admit being M
easy declare their petition would stand
the test Of all. This old river town
votes for SALOONS every year as a matter
Of form by big majorities and the pros
pect Of a dry town for u year has
caused CONSERVATION.

BUFFALO HIDES
Received at Rapid City from

Rapid City, April Arriving from
Sitka, Alaska, yesterday, Mr.. Lee re.
ceived five monster buffalo hides. The
animals which bore them were killed
in the Mckenzie river district of north.
west Canada and are known as the
wood buffalo. The herd from which
these animals were slaughtered nun
bers about 600 and is under the pro
lection of the Canadian government
The particular hides sent to Mr.. lie,
we're surreptitiously killed by Indians
who tanned them and sold them Il
traders who packed them into Sitka
They were purchased by J. Brown, al
Eskimo, who sent them to Lee.
The hides are of dimensions of 10x1s
feet, exquisitely tanned, and the ami
mails which bore them were evidently
killed when their hair was in its
prime. The wood buffalo, when full
grcwn weighs from 5000 to 4,O0C
pounds, and its hide and hair is CORE
~spondingly heavy to Withstand the in
tense cold of the northern winters. Al
though protected in every way possibl,
there Is comparatively little increase il
the herd, partly because of the poach
ing of Indians aud Eskimo upon it. bu'
more particularly because of the de
probation of big timber wolves
which abound in the Canadian north
