stockholders gave special permission
for the use of their gardens and pal
aces BY this means many OF the

comparative ease whereas to have
built the grounds and palaces spec

lion dollars and rendered 1t busi-
ness impossibility. Special permis-
sion had to be obtained from the
Royal cabinet for the use of some of
the buildings and assurance had to
be given that none OF the historic

Sheriff Clyde Cunningham and Joe

panied August Juntunen, the murder
er of his wife and infant son, who
was adjudged insane by jury in cir

Falls Juntunen was taken to Yankton
by DR.. Willhute and will be confined
to the asylum for the insane until he

back and placed on trial for murder.
Lyons, the horse thief, received a
sentence of years for grand larceny
He was taken to the penitentiary on
Friday morning and in the afternoon
was put to work making twine.
According to the evidence given by
the experts at the trial, Juntunen's
condition is considered very unfavor-
able relative to his recovery and he
will in all probability end his days in
the asylum at Yankton.

Brookings Register: Mr. ough,#

pany who had charge Of the sale of
stock in Brookings and vicinity, is.
in Brookings again this week. His
visit this time is for the purpose Of
Investigating the possibilities of ex-
tending the Electric Short Line road
form Borokings southwest to Madison
The company had nos expected to take
up this proposition, at least, not at
this time, but the people of Madison
have been SO enthusiastic and so in.
sistent that the line be extended that
Mr.. Ough is here to look the ground.
over. It is up to the people between
here and Madison and if they show
the proper interest arrangement will
be made to extend the line just as
soon as it is built into Brookings. If
they do not the matter win be drop
ped, for the present at least and may
be permanently as the people directly
south OF here are very ANXIOUS for the
road to go to Sioux Falls.
The road will be fine thing for the
people to the southwest as it would
give them a direct line to the Twin
Cities, and would run through "a sec
ton where there are no railroads.
Brookings, perhaps, would rather see
the road go to Sioux Falls, but we
would not be at all displeased to see it
go southwest. Such a line would give
us communications with Sioux Falls
and Sioux City, by way of the South
Dakota Central and eventually with
Mitchell as it is not probable that the
line will stop at Madison. Everything
depends on the attitude of people be-
tween here and Madison and if they
want a line as badly as the people
of the latter town it will be cinch.
