Large Shipments Coming Into West
Part of the State.

Pierre, April 30.-Another train
load of dairy stock came in last
night, and will help swell the new
industry which is engaging that part
of the state between the Missouri
river and the Black Hills. So far
this spring over two hundred cars
of this class of stock has been placed
in Stanley and eastern Pennington
counties along the line of the North
western railway, and probably as
much more along the line of the
Milwaukee road. The banks west
of the river are doing all they can to
help along the man who shows an
indication of going into the milk pro-
ducing business with probabilities of
making good, and the return for last
year with a much smaller movement
than will be on this year has been.
ii is asserted, greater than was the
cash return for the big cattlemen in
the days of the range steer. 1t has
not gone in such large sums to any
one individual as it did in the old
days, but has been scattered among
many more farmers, and has helped
support a larger population than was
possible in the old days. The west
river shipment instead of steers in
long trains is the daily movement of
cream, eggs and hogs, and a
big thing to that part of the state.

SALOON men
MUST PAY JUDGMENT ACCORD.
ING TO UNITED STATES ST.
PREME COURT.

Washington, April 30.-The SUI
preme court has handed down a
large damage verdict secured by Mrs.
May Bulger, of Nebraska City,
against Louis w. Prenica and Chris
tian w. Schneider, saloonkeepers,
and their bondsmen, the Bankers
Security company, of Cleveland, and
the Lion Bonding company, of Oma-
ha, under a Nebraska law permitting
wives and children of habitual
drunkards to recover damages from
saloonkeepers who sell liquor to
their husbands and fathers.
Mrs. Bulger for herself and for
the benefit as next friend of her min
or children sued for $40, 900, togeth-
er with interest and costs of suit, as
recompense for the damages done
her by the above mentioned liquor
dealers in having made of her hus-
band Charles a habitual %drunkard,
who died December 10, 1910, his
death, according to the petition of
the plaintiff in the court below, be
ing caused and contributed to an &C
count of the habitual drunkenness
of the said Charles Bulger."
1t was the contention of the at
torneys for Mrs. Bulger, the defend
ant in error in the supreme court,
Messrs. w. T. Thompson, w. B.
Comstock and A. p. Moran, that
there was no federal constitutional
question involved in the case at bar.
That no constitution question under
the constitution of the United States
or other federal question was prop
erly raised in the state supreme
court of Nebraska, where the case
was tried on appeal from the judg-
ment of the district court of Lam
caster county, and that NJ question
| under the constitution of the
United States or other federal ques-
ton was raised by the supreme court
of the state of Nebraska in said
cause.
1t was further c~ontended by coun-
sci for Mrs. Bulger that the supreme
court was without jurisdiction to
hear and try the same for the rea-
sons above assigned.
Chief Justice White, in handing
down the decision of the court, held
| that it was without jurisdiction, and
| the case was hitherto dismissed
leaving the judgment of the court
| below intact in Mrs. Bulger's favor.

Pierre-State Engineer Derr has
gone to Hot Springs to meet with
Frederick II. Newell, director of the
United States Reclamation service to
confer in regard to the pushing of
government action on the irrigation
project near Hot Springs. This lies
partly in territory which was second
on the list when the Bellefourche
project was taken up, and no doubt
definite work will be commenced

Trip - Jacob j. Stern, a well
| known farmer living near here, was
required to pay a fine and costs
amounting to an aggregate of about
800, for failing to properly dispose
of the of diseased hogs.
The arrest was made by the county
| health authorities in their campaign
for improved sanitary conditions
throughout the county. When the
| arrest was made Stern resisted the
officer who served the warrant and
a struggle took place in which both
| the officer and Stern were badly
bruised. The authorities could also
have preferred a charge of resisting
| an officer against Stern, but waived
| the right.
Leola-One of the worst storms
| struck this locality Monday that has
an inch and a half of water falling.
The storm came with a strong cold
northeast wind, and froze the water
about as fast as it fell, onto the trees
and telephone wire, as a consequence
of which a large amount of damage
has been done, nice shade trees be-
ing broken and spoiled, while tele-
| phone lines are down in every direc-
| ton. This storm is also very hard
on stock on the ranches, as the cat
| tie had been put out to grass, and
having no shelter losses are feared.
| But to Offset this the farmers are
! rejoicing on the great amount OF
benefit to be derived from the mois-
ture, as it puts the land in fine shape.

BASEBALL NOT
To LOSE OUSTED

Murphy Still Has Heart in Game
Started on Shoestring, Now
Worth 100000.
BY Bill Bailey.

" HICAGO, Feb. 23-Baseball
isn't going to lose Charles w.
Murphy. At least, that is what
the ousted Chicago Cub magnate said
TODAY. Financially he will soon be
through with the sport that enabled
him to run a shoestring into $1,000
coo. but he says his heart is in the
game and he's going to fight for base
bail from now on as real loyal fan
He declares he will be at almost
every game and that if the umpires
arr. they will find him one of the big
ackers.

I've tried to improve baseball and

battling was not welcomed. I'll look

Let somebody else worry. I got
mine.
"There are plenty of breakers ahead
on that troublous sea of baseball for
the new owner or owners of the Cubs.
Fans are ready to criticise, but they
little remember the good things
player or magnate does. It's worry
about d new grandstand, players,
managers. the jeers of the fans, the
threats to move Cub Park from its
present site, etc, for somebody else
now. Running a ball club in Chi
cago isn't easy"
THERE was a ring of sincerity to
1 Murphy's words that he is glad
he is out of baseball.
I'm out of the game forever, con-
tinued Murphy. And how much
brighter the world looks to-day. No
worry, no care. Baseball to me has

Either to-day or tomorrow Muir

will be named. Murphy says he be-
lieves a Cincinnati man will be given
