TELEPHONES COMPANIES
NOW UNDER SEARCHLlGHT

Mitchell, S.. D., June 23-That it is the
intention of the railroad commission to
make some rules and regulations con-
corning the charges for toll service Of
the telephone companies of the state,
was plainly evidenced yesterday by the
questioning of Attorney Dougherty for
the commission. In response to a no
tiee sent to all the companies of the
state OF the east side of the MISSOURI
river,1 ISL telephone company represent
atives were here for the hearing called
by the railroad commission for an In
vestigation of charges which have been
filed from time to time as to the dis
elimination of the companies against
subscribers. More than half the mana
gers We're called to the stand,
1t was shown hat there is a differ
enc in the toll rate where q message
is sent to a farmer On the rural line,
and he is charged twice, while the far
R3er can telephone TO an outside town
with but one charge. Further, it was
brought out. that a person, using the
rural line, must pay toll while the far
mer may send 8 message to town free.
The commission is investigating the
discrimination in the matter of charges
for telephone service to stockholders
charges for delivering toll messages on
discrimination in switching charges
and connection fees and terminal
charges. and also the furnishing of free
telephone Instruments M service in
connection Herewith. The last session
of the legislature adopted a law which
gives the commission power to make
rules and regulations.

uhue the lew law q county judge may
engage in any law practice except in

thorities since that date.

required by the law OF 1918 TO be fur
nished to tax commissioners relating to
n valuation of lands; provided the

Owing to the referendum of the good
roads law of 1911 in many counties
and townships no roa tax was levied
Tor the year 1912. An act of the last
session attempted to remedy this nv
providing that the tax for 1912 should
be extended at the am time as the
tax for 1913. but did not provide
whether it should be computed upon
the valuation for 1912 or 1913. The at

extended upon the 1912 valuation,

EVEN INDIAN "BRAVES"
SEE CHANGING TIMES

Miller, S. d. June 23.-Quite a large
number of Crow Greek Sioux attended
the races here as spectators and par
Elephants. In observing the life of the
Indians on their visit here this time,
it was noted that some of the men
cared for the papooses while the wom-
en- did shopping about town. One
brave held the kid on his lap for
an hour on the street, only to receive
q sharp scolding from his dusky wife
when she returned and found the
~youngster crying.
The races brought out another fea-
ture or fad among the upper set of
white folks. One lady from another
town, in the presence of several gen
tlemen lacking in UP to date knowledge
of society usages. in hunting for her
watch, took her watch from it's place
above her ankle on the leg. glanced
at the time of day, and put the watch
back, rather stunning some of the
spectators.

SUSPECTED HUSTLER
Winner Shooting Scrape Brings
Out Details of Peculiar
Situation.

Winner, s. D., June 24.-on account
of some public feeling being aroused
here on the horse "rustling" question,
the farmers who employed F.. r.
kindred to act as a decoy have issued
a statement explaining his association
with persons charged with such crimes,
and generating Kindred from any
criminal motives.
As a result eff a trip made by Kin
dred and a man by the am of Nc
Kee, in which a horse was taken, the
latter was placed under arrest and
tried for the theft, but was discharged.
He succeeded in making a showing be-
fore the jury that he was led into the
incident and had no criminal participa-
ton in the act,
After Mckee was discharged the
states attorney had Kindred ar
rested, but it is claimed this action is
merely for the purpose Of clearing the
record and TO show that Kindred was
acting in an official capacity. The
statement of the employers is TO the
effect that they were kept in touch
with klndred's actions.
j. w. Sheviin. editor OF the Jour
nal, was attorney for Mckee when the
latter was on trial and this was one
of the situations leading TO his per-
sonal disagreement with Kindred. and
which resulted in Shevlin firing a
couple of shots during a recent alter
cation.

to move, and felt himself being slowly
drawn Town into the quicksand. John

assistance brought him to the scene iE
