Brutal Black Georue.

No rougher customer ever occupied a
throne than Servia's first ruler, Black
George. Except when under the in
huence of wine or the smell of gun
powder, he was habitually moody and
dangerous to cross. When his aged
father thwarted his wishes he drew a
pistol and shot him through the head
When his mother tried to cheat him
over a beehive he bonneted her with
it and stalkcd off. regardless of her
shrieks of pain. Black George was ad-
mlable as an administrator, scrupu-
lously just in all his dealings-outside
of the family circle-and as brave and
disinterested a patriot as ever lived.
After brilliant victories he would re-
turn to his squalid home. empty hand
ed. and resume the uneventful life of a
pig breeder.

Hensell Pay Cash Fine.

II, sentencing r. S. Hensell who
pleaded guilty to blind pigging at
Marvin, Judge Bouck called the
prisoner up and questioned him,
as to how long he had been at the
business and the amount he had
sold, and made him promise that
he would never engage i'll it again.
The Judge said that for this first
offense he would let him off with
fine SIS and it being the first in
this county but that hereafter a
good stiff Jail sentense will accom-.
pany the fine in every conviction
for unlawful liquor selling, and
that any one who may be inclined
to go into this business should
take due notice. Judge Bouck has
struck terror into the hearts of the
blind piggers in the other counties
of the district and proposes putting
stop to it in this country. Mil

Auto Accident.

Henry K. Meyers, a farmer
living ashort distance south of
Labolt, While driving his auto on
his way home Tuesday after
noon, having spent the day in
this city, had the misfortune to
have the machine turn turtle on
him about a mile south of town
and near the Bouck farm. He
lay underneath the car for some
time and would have undoubt-
edly perished from his injuries
and exposure in a short time,
Schultz and a party of other
friends, all from Corona, hap
pened to be going by in an auto
and discovered him in an uncon-
scious condition. They released
him from his imprisonment un-

DC and F. 4 v.
May CONNECT.
Effort Being Made to
Have Roads Meet
at Summit.

The article below from the
Watertown Public Opinion, will
probably not enthuse any of the
Milwaukee towns to contribute
very largely toward getting the
Dakota Central to connect with
them for if the D. G. goes north
and connects the Paramount and
Veblen all the towns along the
line will be way stations and be-
sides more towns will be estab-
lished to cut up the already
crowded trade territory.
The Commercial club began a
campaign to get the Veblen rail
road line being built south from
Paramount, N. D. to connect with
the South Dakota Central eXten
sion at the Milwaukee line, at it's
meeting this week at the Lincoln
hotel in Watertown. If this line
can be brought to Watertown or
a road leading directly to Water
town it will open a large rich
trade territory to the north fora
distance of about 12O miles and
it was the opinion of members
of the club that by showing the
proper interest the line could be
brought this way.
Advice has been received that
the building of the line is to con-
tinue as rapidly as possible next
season and that the objective is
some where in this section of
South Dakota If the line is con-
nected with the South Dakota
Central it will give a continuous
north and south railroad through
Watertown across South Dakota
and good distance into North
Dakota.
To begin the campaign to bring
the line into connection with the
Dakota Central at some point on
the Milwaukee, it is planned to
send a delegation by automobile
to the building site to confer
with Mr.. Roscoe. A committee
was appointed this noon consist
ing of G. M. Lyon, j. w. Dough
erty, George w. Case and L. N
Schulner, to which a committee
of twelve more business men
will be added. The entire com.
mittee Of sixteen will then make
the trip in four automobiles. 1t
is planned to do this at once
while the weather and roads re
