REVENGE SUITS FOLLOW
DELL RAPIDS POKER GAME

William Grodt lost $50 while gambling,
and then sought revenge by having
warrants issued for the arrest o nve
men on the charge of gambling, the

prietor of a Dell Rapids livery estab-

Forestry service experiments have
demonstrated that the strength OF q
piece OF wood may be seriously Inn
paired by slight compression failures
due to rough handling. Dropping a
beam across a skid may cause a com
preston failure at the point at which
the beam strikes the skid. and II will
be at this point that the beam gives
way when 1t breaks under a strain too
severe for the weakened hbers to with
stand. Hitherto unaccountable break
age In hickory wagon spokes n other
presumably strong materials are now
attributed to compression failures
caused by wind storms In the period
OF growth or by hard usuage in lum-
0ertng and manufacturing processes.
These compression failures show them
selves In the form OF little diagonal
streaks or wrinkles across the grain,
and are always a sure sign OF weak
ness.

state herd law cannot interfere with
the operation of government property
was held by Judge Elliott in the Uni
ted States district court. The case

the latter being sheriff Of Lyman
county. The government sued by re-
plevin to recover possession Of IL head
OF I'D" cattle, which had committed a
trespass on lands in Lyman county be-
longing to Schooler. The latter had
recovered Judgment against the cattle
under the South Dakota herd law, and
an execution issued on the judgment.

property Of the government, were ex-.
empt from levy. This case Is Of m
portance in Indian reservation coun-
tries where a herd law exists. United
