Extensive sheen Raising

The sheep industry has reached
considerable proportions on the
Spence farm southeast of town, G.
Spence and w. A. Place are feeding
large number and fitting them for
the fall market. They have about
1900 head, about half of the mum
Der being spring lambs, all doing
fine and giving promise of hand
some profit when the marketing time
comes. At shearing time the owners
clipped a crop of 1000 pounds OK
wool, for which they received 251s
cents pound, which is quite an item
in defraying the cost of operation
The shearing was done by experts
brought from the sheep country and
the shears were operated by power,
enabling the job to be done expedite
ously and in much less time than by
the old hand method.-Hopkinton

the school house Sunday morning to
properly observe the day. The room
had been handsomely decorated with
white and pale green crepe paper
streamers and flowers, the entire con-

Mothers Day. The chorus rendered
several very appropriate selections,
and there were a couple of recitations
and duet, after which Rev. Keepers
gave very interesting talk on
Mothers" Perhaps one of the larg-
est congregations that have yet at.
tended church service was in attend
ance last Sunday morning. Every
available seat was taken. The ladies
who lad this special service in charge
deserve much credit for it's success.

Confessed to Post Office Robbery

Post Office Inspector J. j. Gibney
of Mitchell, S. D., who was here last
week inspecting the post Offices in
this county, made his second visit to
the Wood Post Office last Friday and
among other things that he investi-
gated was the post Office robbery at
this place, that occurred December
Is, 1914. Suspicion pointed to Chas.
Desersa as the one guilty of this
crime, and on being confronted with
considerable evidence, be finally con-
fessed to being guilty of the robbery
to Inspector Gibney. and was taken
to Winner the same evening and
from there to Sioux Falls, there to
await the action of the U. S. Court.
Desersa in his confession said he had
an accomplice in the robbery, white
man by the name OF Smith or Ross.
Up to the time of going to press we
have not learned whether the white
accomplice has been arrested or not.
The robbers secured some $50, about
half Of which amount was L. S. postal
funds. This is news item we sup
pressed at the time as suspicion point
ed strongly to the party who finallv
confessed to the crime, and it was
feared by giving publicity to the
crime at the time it would have ten
dency to allow the guilty one to
escape.

VINO owns the bridge that spans the
railroad cut On Holloway street, over
which the Durham Traction Company
wishes to PLACE it's street car line, has
arisen, and the contention Of the ar

that the bridge is owned by the city in
that the city has used it for MANY
years, and therefore acquired posses
sion by the right Of use,
me contention OF the Norfolk and
western is that the bridge was Maid
Tor by that road, and the road is re-
sponsible for its up-keep under the
laws Of the State. Since the road
would be responsible for any damage
q a might result from the car line
passing over the bridge, the railroad
people contend that they have a right
to require the traction company to re-
intorce the bridge, or to build a new
