Two Acres Yield Pierre Man Thirty
Bushels.

Pierre, Oct. 6.-Over $500 worth
of alfalfa seed from a little over two
acres of ground is the record of f. F..
Clifford on a small tract of land which
he recently purchased near the hos
pital in this city. The thresher show
ed thirty bushels as the yield,
and with the price about 81 a bushel
1t makes a good profit, as one hay
crop was cut before the seed was al
lowed to form. e. J.. Perry now is
threshing a tract of over fifty acres
which he has grown on the island
just below this city and the turnout
on hat tract per acre indicates that
it practically will be equal to that on
the Clifford tract. Besides the alfalfa
Mr.. Perry this year started about fifty
acres of sweet clover, which is getting
a fine start and promises to thrive.
The present year has been declared
to be an ideal n for alfalfa seed in
this part of the state. The moisture
of the early season gave the plants a
strong growth, and the dry, warm
weather during the seeding season
was just what was required for a
heavy crop of finely matured seed.
There will be a large crop to market
in central and western South Dakota
this year.

Threshers Save Stacks i'm a Novel
Way.

Pierre, Oct. 6.-Pulling burning
stacks out on to plowed ground with
a traction engine was the novel meth
cd used on the Hartley ranch, near
Milesville, to check a fire. Mr.. Hart
ley had t~wenty-siX stacks of various
kinds of grain in his stackyard, and
when the thresher started two of the
stacks caught fire. The threshing
outfit quickly was pulled out of the
fire zone. The telephone called neigh
bors with a general alarm, and they
came prepared for work.
The nearest stacks to those burn
ing were covered with canvas, then
chains were thrown about the stacks
to the windward side of the blazing
ones, and the traction engine attach
ed, and the stacks hauled bodily to
one side. AS soon as a lane was
cleared the chains were Topped about
the blazing stacks and the engine
drew both of them out through the
opening upon plowed ground, where
they were watched while they burned
themselves out, saving every other
stack in the yard. The action held
the loss down to a couple of hundred
dollars and saved grain worth more
than $4,000.

that the states may take action, If

The news of the passage of this

Hunting on the Missouri river at
the right seasons is good, and some
great killings have been in years gone

plentiful all along the Missouri from
Omaha to Chamberlain, S. D., and
that when the birds begin their long
fight from the north waters the Mis-
souri, river will be the popular place
for hunters.

FIGHT WITH ROBBERS
Deuel. County Farmer Beat on Hold.
up Men.

Webster, Oct. 6.-John Jones, a
young man employed by l.. p. Will
Jams, a we'll known Deuel. county
farmer. after a hard fight succeeded
in worsting two holdup men who at
tackled him while he was driving to
the home of his employer In a wagon.
One of the holdup men grasped his
horses and held them while the other
jumped into the wagon and demand
ed his money. Jones grasped an end
gate and struck the robber a vicious
blow, putting him out of the combat.
He then attacked the robber who was
holding the horses. The robber drew
a knife and during the hand-to-hand
fight succeeded in cutting Jones e v
eral times, luckily only flesh wounds.
One blow with the knife struck a
watch in Jones pocket, detected the
blade and saved his life. The holdup
mar finally wrested himself loose
from Jones' grasp and made his es-
cape. The sheriff and a posse went
to the scene of the attempted rob-
berry. but could find no trace of the
two holdup men.
