LIED Q BURKE.

II LIED ABOUT BURKE.
Pe1rre Dakotan: We do not know who is corresnond-
@nt Tor the Sioux City Tribune here in Pierre, but we do
know that the dispatch sent out to that paper announcing
the retirement of Mr.. Burke contained a paragraph that
Was d gross misrepresentation on our congressman and one
that might be justified in coming from some other town, but
coming from the home town of Mr.. Burke, was a direct in
SUIT The dispatch stated that few people in Pierre knew
that Mr. Burke was in bad health. Mr.. Burke has passed
through three operations the past year and his condition
n nas 3D. neen such that his friends have been quite fearful all
or the time. 1t comes with mighty poor grace for Il Pierre
elt'zen to cast stones in this manner.
From now until the snow flies this community will be,
pestered with the grocery peddler. calico peIdler, picture
agent and every other kind of pe1dler and agent. They
have heard that crops are good and that his vear there
Will be money in sight. There is just one good and safe rule
to apply TO this kind Of gentry; tell them this is your busy
day. a year ago there were literally thousands of dollars
'that were wheedled out of those who were too good hearted
ito turn them down, by picture agents. If You are fooled
by one OF o. those oily tongued individuals, what recourse have
you3 they are here today and in Montana tomorrow.
Better stand by your home merchants who have a reputa-
ton to sustain and who stand behind their goods-Ez-

" The Monday morning issue of the Minneapolis journal
contains q Photographic likeness of one Fred Loren1 of $50
Temple Court Building, Minneapolis, showing t:s nimrod
III the striking pose Of a successful hunter. Mr. Lorenz
evidently is proud of the record he made in the stubble
fields of South Dakota and the photo shows the gentleman
with two festoons of prairie chickens hung about his shout
ders. The enlightening Information describing the sub
ject Of the halftone is as follows:
Found birds in Dakota. Fred Lorenz. $50 Temple
Court, who has just returned to this city after a hunting
trip at Watertown, S. y. In one day the party of which
Mr.. Lorenz was a member killed 81 chickens Of which %
fell under the Lorenz gum"
Now there might be a whole lot of satisfaction to Mr..
Iorenz and his ik to go back to the cities and pose as sue
cessfnl hunters before a camera, but to the real sportsman
of4South Dakota the admission is one which should brand
him a mere law breaker and game-hog. If this assuming
hunter from the cities feels that he has accomplished a feat
ofconmendahle significance he should awaken to the fact
that he also possesses an abundance of unauthorized gall
and brazen nerve along with his skill as a c~rack-shot. The
nonresident hunting license states specifically the amount
OF game the holder OF the license is permitted to shoot In
one day andsthere is nothing more disgusting to the citizens
OF South Dakota who are possessed with true sportsman
ship than the man who will deliberately slaughter protect
ed game and then boast of the act.-Grant County News.
