of horses stolen the prices being
paid for war purpose horses
making it comparatively easy
money for those so inclined TO get
away with range horses drive
them to some point few hundred
miles distant from their range and
dispose OF chem. As soon as sold
the horses were shipped, the man
who sold the animals would be
gone, and 1t has been extremely
difficult to get on the trail of those
engaged in this work.
About four weeks ago Stock
Inspector Richardson o f Miles
City discovered some horses in the
sale wards at that place that had
every indication of being stolen rs
the brands had been tampercd
with. He immediately placed
those in charge Of the horses under
arrest and before he was through
with this deal he discovered the
horses belonged to man by the
name of Price, east of Stnrgis.
Sheriff Skutt Of Sturgis was
| communicated with and went to
Miles City Mont. to bring those
in charge of the animals back to
South Dakota. At that time Max
Prefer Chick Mason Josh and
| Arthur Guffy were arrested
and placed in Jail ut Sturgis.
The arrest of these four men
satisfied the officers that a well
organized gang was operating in
this section, and also gave the
officers tip as to where to look
tor the rest of the guilty ones. The
horses found in Miles City were
traced rs to their point of origin,
and it was learned they were part
of bunch originally, shipped from
Isabel and Mobridge, S. D. At
the latter place the horses were
sorted and these particular animals
were reshipped to Miles City.
Following up the trail out OF Isabel
it was found that Oscar Rosander
who lives near that place was pro-
bably interested, as well as Red
REYNOLDS. Other horses of the
Price brand were missing and two
weeks ago Sheriff Skutt of Meade
county. Sheriff Haywood Of Cor
son county, Sheriff Jones of Fallon
county, Montana, stock inspector
Richardson of Miles City and
sheriff J. A. True of Belle Fourche
went to the reservation to do some
investigating. They found ten
head of the Price horses in = pas
ture near Isabel, and the horses

Leon Has Another Heavy Rain.

Sunday evening it began to rain,
and it rained and rained, and when
Morris Gardner, the local weather
observer, measured it Monday morn
ing it showed that we had again
been the recipient of another large
amount of J. Pluvious' abundant.
The U. S. gauge showed that "a
inches of rain had fallen during the
night and up to nearly seven O'Clock
Monday morning.
The electrical trouble on the tele-
phone lines caused by this storm is
said to have been the worst in
years, one hundred and sixty tele-
phones were burned out and poles,
from one to five in places, were
splintered to kindling wood. All
this damage was direct from the
Leon exchange.
The damage caused to grain in
some places was great, as grain
that was ready to cut the first of the
week was beaten down and it will
be impossible to get into the field

Hundreds of Women Made Glad,

The 800 Silver Spoons were given
away last Saturday by J. w. Hurst
& Co. just exactly as they promised
in their full page announcement in
last weeks Reporter. A number of
women failed to get in early enough
to get free spoon but they found
plenty of other things to interest
them, and in every case felt that the
visit to the Hurst store had repaid
them. Every article that was an
nounced at special price and many
that was not advertised, were all on
display with neatly printed price
cards that enabled patrons to wait
on themselves. In spite Of the ad-
verse weather conditions the Hurst
store was crowded from early until
late with interested shoppers. The
cash register showed over 500 cash
transactions and while Mr.. Hurst did
not tell Us what they footed up from
the tired smile on his face we feel
sure it was no small amount. One
thing is certain; when J. w. Hurst
& CO. announce Special Prices"
the put.!c knows the bargains arc
real GL ! tie reductions bona fide.
Every week enc or more of their an
nOunccme appears in this paper
and you will be repaid if you take
the time and trouble to read each Of
them.

A Worthy Appeal.

Widespread interest is being
awakened by the most recent Of the
war reliefG, organized by Mrs. Whit
ney Warren, treasurer Of the Secours
National in New York City and hav-
ing as its purpose the shipment OF
kits, containing articles OF necessity
and convenience, 10 the destitute
children OF France. This work has
met with such genuine approval that
from an inaugural shipment Of fifty
kits, contributions made it possible
to forward 900 last week.
And it should be borne in mind
that the majority Of the contributions
were for two dollars ($2) each, the
cost of each kit. This may be taken
as eloquent evidence that Americans
have gratitude and good memories,
that they are slow to forget how
more than hundred years ago the
forefathers of these same children
fought to make our own country
free as today they fight for the lib
erty Of their own nation. Is it not a
good way to pay small part of the
great debt this country owes to
France, by helping these helpless
children?
Headed by Mrs. Warren, this work
is being done by many of the best
known men and women Of New
York City. Tho committee consists
Of the following members: Mrs.
Frederick H. Allen, Mrs. Robert
Bacon, Mrs. w. Bayard Cutting, Mrs
F. Gray Griswold, Mrs. William
Greenough, Mrs. Walter Maynard
Mrs. Ogden Mills, Mrs. Francis K.
Pendleton, Mrs. Nathaniel Thayer,
Mrs. Harry P. Whitney, Mrs. Whit
ney Warren, Charles B. Alexander,
Gibson, Eliot Gregory, McDougall
Hawkes., Donald Harper, Frederick
A. Juilliard, Hon. Geo. B. Mcclellan,
Gen. Horace Porter, T. Tileston
Wells and Lloyd Warren.
These kits for children OF varying
ages; some of them are infants kits,
others for children Of two and four
years Of age, others for boys OF six
and others for girls of six years.
The articles placed in the kits are
chosen with a special view to the
ages of the children for whom they
are prepared.
Following is the list of articles
contained in each kind of kit:
Infants kit-Two bands, flannel;
two shirts, knitted cotton; two bar
rows, fiannelette; one muslin dress,
one cotton blanket, one cap, one
flannelette wrapper, one-half dozen
birds-eye diapers, one-half dozen
large safety pins, one cake pure
CASTLE soap, one can talcum powder,
2-ounce package absorbent cotton.
Two-Y ear-Old Kit and Four-Y ear
Old Kit-Two suits underwear, shoes
and stockings, petticoat with waist,
rompers. wash cloth and soap.
Six-Year-Old Kit, Boys-Two
suits underwear, shoes and stockings,
one khaki suit, wash cloth and soap.

in any of the kits are acceptable as

The Des Mones Register and
Leader of Tuesday gave an account
of Decatur county man who had
purchased furniture in Des Moines
and had failed to pay for it, and
that it had been removed from the
city. This little story, we have it
from reliale source, is crooked. 1t
seems that some parties went to Des
Moines, purchased some goods and
gave a bogus check for the amount
The bank on which the check was
written refused to pay it on the
ground that it was forged, and also
stated that the young man was
straight and paid all Of his debts in

Electric light in Lorimor is here
land here to stay. The current was
turned on Saturday evening for the
first time and everything went love
ly. At that time only seven houses
were connected up and since that
time the force of men have been
busy connecting up all the others
that they can get to. The light will
go every night now until midnight
and as soon as Mr.. Smith gets
enough business to pay for the ex-
penses of the fuel oil he will run the
plant in the day time and give day
service. For the present, however
he is going to run the plant two or
three days the forepart of the week
for the purpose of running the irons
on ironing day, and run the washing
machines for those who have motors.
This will be a great accommodation
and the people should appreciate it
and boost for the light plant. Mr.
Smith has put in good plant here,
not a thing cheap or shoddy, but
everything is Of the best and up-to-
date stuff. Lorimor people can feel
fortunate in securing such a good
plant here and one that offers all
kinds of accommodations to the pub
lie. 1t is only matter Of time I'M
til we will have day current here,
and that will give us everything in
that line that we can ask for. Boost
for the new electric plant.-LOrimor
