A COMMUNICATION.

Dell Rapids. S. D., Oct. 80, 1915
To the Editor: Our attention having
beer called to your item in the Lead
er of October %, relative to the re-
cent case in county court of your
county against Mr.. Alex Stewart. we
desire to call attention TO certain
statements therein which are mis-
leading and will bear correction.
You state that the information
against Mr.. Stewart was filed by his
neighbors and that about thirty wit
nesses were examined in the case.
This would most naturally give the
impression that at least several of his
neighbors, if not all of the thirty
witnesses. had joined in the filing of
said information, while the fact is
that such information was signed and
filed by but n person, namely, Will
Dyce, without any ground therefor,
as clearly shown by the evidence of
all Mr.. Stewards neighbors, and as
held by the commissioners who heard
the evidence and dismissed the case.
You further state that Mr.. Stewart
is a bachelor of the age of As years.
The facts are hat Mr.. Stewar is 3S
years OF age and is unmarried; but
he is not a bachelor in the commonly
accepted sense of that term. as he is
living and keeping house with his
mother, and manages her farm and
business generally, as well as his
own.
You further make mention in said
article TO the effect hat while there
are peculiarities in Mr.. Stewards
manner he is not a subject for the
hospital for the insane.
In this connection kindly permit us
to say, that no human being but has
peculiarities-some of M and some
of another kind. Each of us have
our individual distinctiveness or
characteristics, which Il others may,
and often do, appear odd. while those

C~ARDSHARPS BUSY
ARE TRAVELLING ON
TRAINS TO CATCH RETURN
ING HARVEST HANDS.

Cardsharps, who at this season of
the year confine their activities,
largely. to the smoking cars and
smoking compartments of passenger
trains, are carrying on more or less
successful operations on lines radiat-
ing from Madison. it is reported by
commercial travellers who call here.
A well dressed stranger, who en-
gagged q couple of tourists in a game
of pitch for nominal stakes, on a
train between Sioux Falls and this
city yesterday, and who suggested
that the game be changed to poker
and higher sums be wagered, was
suspected of using marked cards, and
requested to quit the game. The man
was thought to be one of an organic
ed gang of Chicago card swindlers
who have made their activities felt in
both the Dakotas and Minnesota.
While it is understood that their
prime motive is to fleece prosperous
returning harvest hands, railway men
declare hat the gamesters are by no
means averse TO taking on" the
more sophisticated travellers, especial
ly when the supply of unwary farm
hands is low.
The local police say that they have
heard of no large sums being lifted
by the gamblers in close proximity to
Madison.
In most cases it is next to impos-
sible for the men in charge of trains
to protect men who will play with
strangers from the willy sharks. Or
dinarily it is impossible for the con-
ductor or brakeman to detect the
crooked work of the INSCRIPTIONS
professional or to distinguish at a
glance whether players are engaged
in an innocent pastime or are playing
for substantial stakes, it is pointed
out.

so viewing our p~eculiarities may, and
frequently do, possess traits or pecu-
liarities which to us appear exceed
ingly odd or peculiar.
Hence. who is to judge of or de-
termine as peculiar, the traits or con
duet of another?
A charge of the kind filed against
Mr.. Stewart is, of course. most Sc
rious since, If sustained, would de-
prive n CT enjoyment of personal
freedom and of his property, say
nothing of the enjoyment of the So
ciety of friends and neighbors. Nat
urally therefore, the preferment of
and arrest under such a charge would
be a stunning blow to any one; espe-
cially when without just cause or
foundation, and hence the making of
such a charge based upon ill-will, or
to satisfy ones desire to annoy.
should be frowned upon by all good
citizens.
The facts relative to the case in the
county court appeared at the hearing
thereof to be, that the filing of the
information was the result of petty
spite, backed by a desire to annoy
Mr.. Stewart. who is a prosperous

young farmer of your county, and
who. as the evidence upon the hear
ing established, attends to his own af-
fairs, is strictly honest and honorable
in all his dealings. and is a law abid-
ing and peace loving citizen. Such
being the facts established by the
testimony OF Mr.. Stewards neigh
bors, all of whom speak most highly
of him, the commissioners who heard
such testimony %thereupon dismissed
the Ease as aforesaid.
In order to correct any
impression your aforesaid item may
transmit, Mr.. Stewart and his friends
as also the undersigned. will deem IL
a favor to have you give this COM
~munication space in your most valu-
able publication.

TELEPHONE WORK
A FORCE OF TWENTY-FIVE MEN
WILL ARRIVE THIS WEEK.

Manager Phifer of the telephone
exchange has been notified that a
force of twenty-five men will arrive
in Madison this week to commence
on the work of installing the new au-
tomato telephone system. New tele-
phone poles are in transit which will
be placed principally in the residence
districts to carry a system of cables
which will take the place of the net
work of aerial wires now in use. The
poles will be placed in alleys in the
residence section and wires will enter
residences from the alleys instead of
from the streets as is now generally
the case
Conduits and other materials for
the underground system to be Install
ed in the business section of the city
are also in transit and are expected
to arrive so that the workmen will
be enabled to proceed with the work
without interruption. The excava-
tons for the conduits will be about
three feet in depth, the conduits en-
cased in cement and manholes con-
structed of brick and cement install
ed at proper intervals along the lines
of the underground conduits.
1t is the purpose of the company
to complete excavations and other
ground work before freezing weather
intervenes. The work of placing
cables and line work can be forward
ed during the winter, completing the
automatic system ready for the use
of the public early in the spring.

eral trips into the country during the
last ten days. The mayor told that
he found farmers everywhere making
the best of the extremely favorable
weather conditions, and that in a
large number of instances the grow
ers of small grain feel that they are
being just about fully repaid for the
time they lost on account of frequent
and long continued rains earlier in
the year. With reference to the corn
crop, the city's chief executive said
that while on the whole that grain
thrived better here this year than it
is reported to have done in northern
and western Iowa and in southern
Minnesota, he had heard of only a
very few small patches of corn hat
had properly matured before it was
overtaken by the frost.
