$1,000 GIVEN
FOR SUICIDE
JURY AWARDS THAT SUM TO
WIDOW FROM SALOON KEEP
ER WHO SOLD LIQUOR TO
HUSBAND.

Colome, S. D.-After being out five
hours a Trip county circuit court
jury awarded Mrs. Alice Dickman
damages in the sun of $1,000 against
f. G. Thomas, proprietor of a Win
ner saloon on the charge that he was
responsible for the death of the hus-
band of the woman, who committed
suicide while under the ~influence of
liquor. The costs of the case also were
assessed against the defendant by the
jury.
Dickman ended his life Nov. 1,
1912. He had been blacklisted at the
saloons. The South Dakota laws make
a saloonkeeper selling liquor to a
blacklisted man liable for such dam
age as may result if it can be proved
that the saloonkeeper sold or gave
intoxicating liquor to such person
during the period of his %disqualifi-
cation or on or about the day the in
jury resulted. The jury found that
Thomas had so sold liquor to Dick
man. Mrs. Dickman instituted a sim
liar suit against Joseph kocl1. anoth-
er Winner saloon man, but this case
has been continued to the next term
of circuit court by the consent of both
sides.

MORE IN ALFALFA
Increase of IS Per Cent Over
Previous Acreage-Ground
in Excellent Shape.

Visions of bursting %granaries, well
prosperous bank accounts feature
the dreams of the farmers of central
South Dakota these spring nights.
These dreams may not be monop-
olized by the agriculturalists of this
part of the Coyote state, but it is a
certainty that within a radius of rs
miles of Mitchell there was never a
more optimistic group of farmers,
looking for one of the "b,tmperest"
crops that has ever been harvested.
The rains of the past month have
drenched the soil far below the roots
of growing vegetation, abundant
sunshine now pouring over the state,
corn, alfalfa and small grain almost
can be seen to be growing. The pro
gress of the spring crops will amaze
any visitor to the farms outlying
from Mitchell.
More Alfalfa Acreage.
The development of interest on the
farms in Mitchell's territory this
spring is the increase in alfalfa acre
age. Experts have placed the in
res at 25 per cent, due principally
to the growing interest in the great
forage crop and the profits which the
pioneers in it's crops have realized.
The care which has generally been
taken in planting alfalfa, to see that
it is on high and dry ground and that
the soil is adapted for its growth,
is responsible for a good showing this
spring. None of the young alfalfa
has been drowned by the occasional
heavy rains. The stand in Dawson
county ranges from 6 to IA inches.
Samples raised in small tracts in the
city have grown as high as 20'inchcs
already. "i .N
Prospects Never Better.
According to j.. c. Belts, of the
firm of A. II. Belts, general crop
prospects are as good this year as
have ever been kiiown. The ground
is we'll moistened and under ordinary
conditions, barring "a continued
drouth and hat winds from tho south,
the soil can support erop vegetation

years have reduced the number Of

grasses will be heavy and ranH this
year.

WESLEYANS ARE
BLANKED, S TO o
Y.ANKTON TWIRLER HOLDS
METHODISTS To FIVE HITS
AND NO RUNS YESTER.
DAY.

In a ragged exhibition of the ma
tional summer pastime, c.. johnson,
twirler for Yankton college, held
Dakota Wesleyan to a quintet of scat
tered hits and his mates hammered
out enough safe clouts to win a 5 to
0 victory. Ragged support behind
Corde kirkpatrick also was a mater
ial factor in the defeat.
Every 1ankton runner thai crossed
the home pan either reached the
bags on an error or came home on
one. Eight of the Methodist athletes
expired on the bases for want of the
timely clout to let them tally. Kirk
patrick vas touched for eight hits,
hut none of these would have been
good for a score had the field held
tight.
The visitors started scoring in the
initial frame when II. Smith muffed
Stevens drive to right field. Kirk
Whitfield Macarthur and j. Johnson
popped out t f.. Martin, when c.
johnson lofted a Texas Lacquer over
second and Stevens sprinted home.
Frazier also hit safely in the first
inning, but kirkpatrick closed the
frape by striking out Ulmer.
Stevenson hit safely at the start of
the third, but was forced at second
by Macarthur. J. Johnson singled to
leftt field and both runners Tailed
when f. Martin let c. Johnson's drive
filtdr through his glove. The next
twoSrunners went out in short order.
The visitors scored again in the
seventh stanza when Payne made a
brilliant stop of MacArthur's ground
er, but heaved the ball over the head
of A. Martin on first. C.. Johnson
made a clean double to center field
and scored Macarthur. Macarthur
reached the bags again in the ninth,
when Stacey made a ragged throw on
his grounder to first. j. Johnson sim
gled to center and Macarthur count
ed for his third run of the game.
Wesleyan's golden opportunity to
even the score and win a possible vic
tory came in the third frame. After
Stacy had popped out to Timer, Kirk
patrick climbed on the bags when G.
johnson booted his grounder. Cass
laid down a beautiful bunt and raced

second when Macarthur muffed the
throw to retire him on F.. Martins
grouhder. With the bases populated
A Martin whitfield and Payne ground
ed out. A man was left on bases for
eachi succeeding inning except the
eighth.
The visiting .twirler, c. Johnson,
was the shining star of the game. In
addition to pitching a heady game,
his Hitting figured in four Of Yank-
five runs. Cass was .Mitchell'sl
star. He made three brilliant circus
catches in the field, one time racing
from right to center field, for the
spear. Two of his hits werel won by
his speedy work on bunts. Kirkpat-
rick held his own with the visiting
twirler in the box, and labored under
