TRULY WARNED
BY A DREAM
BON HOMIE COUNTY FARMER
SUFFERS BROKEN LEG JUST
AS IN HIS VISION.

Scotland, S. D.-Because he did
not literally heed a warming received
in a dream, Ube Meets, a young
German-American living on a Bon
Homme county farm, is laid UP with
a fractured leg and will have to de-
pend upon someone else to do his
spring work on the farm. Meets had
been parleying with another young
farmer as to which had the better
running horses, and as a result they
made arrangements for a race, the
winner to become the owner of both
horses.
Before the time fixed for the race,
Weetss took a nap, and during his
sleep dreamed that as a result OF the
race he sustained a broken leg. He
was greatly impressed by tie dream
and declared the rae off. Bill" Col
we'll, the owner OF the rival horse,
brought out another animal and told
Weets he could become the owner OF
it ii he would ride it a few hundred
feet. Wects, thinking he could carr
a horse in an easy manner. accepted
the proposition and mounted the ami
NAL. The horse proved to be q eenu-
inc "bucking broncho,' and in a brieI
spaee Weets lad been thrown from it
back, sustaining q fractured leg ant
narrowly escaping being injured
more seriously.

NO BAD MEAT
FOR RED MEN
STATE FOOD INSPECTOR PROSE-
CtiFS RGHERTS COUNTY
MAN WHO FAILED 10 DIS
POSE OF CARCASS OF
COW.

Ncrmillion, S. D.-Although it is
a matter of common report that in
times past the North American In
dian was not always as discriminate
ing in the selection of his food, es-
pecially meat food, as the white man,
the state food and drug department
does not intend to permit him to be
imposed upon today by interruptions
white brothers. This was shown in an
incident which occurred in Roberts
county this week which resulted in
the arrest and successful prosecution
OF an nhabitant Of that county on
the charge of attempting to sell bad
meat to the Indians in the vicinity
of Summit and Sisseton.
Monday morning as Inspector a.
Prcstwick was leaving his home in
Summit to take the train west he WAS
told that Isaac Waters had left Sum
nit with the carcass Of a COW which
had died The night before and that
the indians. Hastily gathering such
information as he was able, the in
spector hired a livery team and start
ed after Waters, driving until 6 o.
clock in the afternoon. He was unable
TO overtake his man, but. stopped at
several places where Waters had call
ed and e~ndeayored to sell the meat
but without success.

HOT LICENSE CONTEST
is CERTAIN IN DESMET

DeSmet, S. D.-The filing of 9 pc
tition asking that the saloon license
question be submitted to the voters
at the annual election in April makes
it certain that DeSmet will be the
scene of Il of the hottest saloon and
a~nti-saloon fights waged in South
Dakota this year. A year ago license
carried by only two majority, so it is
expected the fight this year Will be
Il close one. Several new residents OF
the city are said to favor license, and
this gives the advocates of license
strong hope of winning a victory at
the election. The temperance element,
o the other hand, claims that the
full an~ti-saloon vote was not cast a
year ago, but that it will be at the
coming city election, and they pro
fess to believe that it will be ample
to declare DeSmet Il dry" town.
However, no accurate prediction as to
the outcome of the election on this
question a yet be made. as mat
tiers NOW stand it appears TO be any
-body's fight.
