SOFT DRINK" PARLoRs
RAiDEp AT MADISON

Madison, g. D.. March GA repre-
sentative of the State Anti-Saloon
league, accompanied by Sheriff Butts
and local league men, made a a i Fri
day evening on soft drink parlors aud
lodge rooms n conflscated four bar
rels OF beer from the Eagle rooms, six
barrels from the Owls rooms and bot
tied goods from the Turner's, Williams
and Murphy's places. The wet goods
have been stored in the city jail to
await legal proceedings.
1t is rather a peculiar situation. In
the March session of the supreme court
a decision on a previous trial was
granted to the vets, making Madison
a wet town. But up to date no Ii
censes have been granted. therefore
making 1t Illegal to sell liquor in the
city. Last January . similar raid was
mad on several soft drink parlors,
some of them for a second time, and
the owners of the raided places We're
fined 500 nj cost of the proceed
ings. 1t is doubtful just what will
be melted out to them en- their second

ELKS TO Be PLACED
IN DAKOTA PRESERVE;
CAPTURED IN IDAHO
Game Warden Is Now in West
Arranging to Ship rs Head
of Elk to Custer.

Pierre, S. d, March 20.-Game War
den Hedrick left today for Victor.
Id, to receive a shipment of 25 elk
for the South Dakota game preserve in
the Black Hills. The animals are
secured from the government in the
Yellowstone park, and local men in
that vicinity hunt them and capture
them at a reasonable charge, and the
only expense to the state will be for
transportation and the payment of the
men capturing the valuable animals.
The big area of the preserve, COM
prising about so, 900 acres will all
eventually pc fenced in, but at present
a smaller preserve within that, has
been completely fenced with high wire.
South Dakota has had it's order in for
some time for the elk and Hedrick
feels the state is fortunate to get the
animals in so inexpensive a way. and
at so early a date. The elk will IN
doubtedly thrive well in the sur
r~oundings. which will in considerable
measure be similar to what they have
been accustomed to in the Rockies.
Hedrick will personally supervise the
shipment Of the animals from idaho,
where they are to be delivered to him,
to Custer, and from hat point he ex-
poets to bring them by wagons a dis
lance of Is miles to the preserve pre-
pared for them.

FLANDREAU is TRYING
TO LAND ELECTRIC LINE

~Flandreau, s, D.. March pa large
enthusiastic meeting was held here by
the local business men and farmers of
the surrounding territory for the pur-
pose of taking steps to have Flandreau
made a station on the proposed new
Luce line of electric railroad, which
has been surveyed from Brookings
southwark through this section of the
country. 1t is expected that a branch
line will run from the main line in this
vicinity westward to Mitchell via Rut-
land, while the main line will run
southwark to Sioux Falls and ultima
tely to Sioux City.
1t is believed the main line will
strike Flandreau and swing east Of
the Milwaukee railroad extending from
Sioux Falls TO Egan far enough TO tap
an extensive strip of country which
now is entirely without railroad
facilities.
The extension of this electric rail-
road through the region between
Bookings and Sioux Falls will give
the residents of the territory traversed
first-class railway facilities.

DEATH OF JUDGE WILLARD
DELAYS PASSENGER RAT

Sioux Falls, S. D., March 13.-A
temporary delay in the putting into eff
feet of the 21a cent passenger rate
in South Dakota will result from the
sudden death of Judge G. A. Willard at
his home in Minneapolis.
Judge Willard presided at the trial
of the rate cases, and at the time of his
death there was in his office the final
order in the case, which, had be been
able to have signed, it would have i'm
mediately put the reduced passenger
rate into effect. Early in March this
final decree was sent to the office of
Judge Willard, u he never recovered
sufficiently to attach his signature to
1t.
1t is the opinion of attorneys that
h delay in placing the decree on
record will be only temporary; that it
will be unnecessary to try the case
over again, as the decision Of Judge
Willard outlines the provisions of the
fnal decree and hat his successor in
the office of United States judge will
have authority under the findings, to
attach his signature to the decree and
thus put into effect the az cent rate.
Judge Willard gave the state board
of railroad commissioners the right to
apply for a 2 cent rate whenever the
board had evidence that would justify
such a rate in South DAKOTA.
