BAD RECORD
Sueble, Would-Be Slayer of Sledge,
Dawson County Farmer.

Mitchell, April 5.-The laws of
heredity were never more clearly
written than in the case of Charles
Streble, the farm hand whose muir
derous designs on the night of March
16 resulted in his own death at the
hands of Jesse T. Sledge. whom he
had attempted to STAY by shooting
through the window of the Sledge
home northeast of the city,
In a letter to Sheriff f. E. owens
Charles Lotion. a relative of the
would-be murderer and chief police
at ~Jerseyville, H., former home of
Streble, gives a brief sketch of some
of the antecedents of the man. Chief
Lotion stated that Streble was %
years of age and writes:
He was of queer disposition and
never could look a person in the face.
His family record on his fathers side
is not good. One of his fathers
brothers shot another brother. and
another uncle was shot somewhere
down south.
"Charley's grandfather committed
suicide by jumping in a cistern and
his father and mother parted when
he was a small boy. He never knew
what become of his father.
Some two years ago Charley tried
TO kill himself by shooting himself
with a small rife. | suppose you
saw the scar across his breast. He
has threatened to kill himself several
times about some girl or another and
was what | called a dangerous
II think it is a good thing that
Mr.. Sledge killed him, but am sorry
that he killed the girl and shot Mr..
Sledge."

CHOLERA
South Dakota College Expert Tells
How to Avert Hog Disease.

Vermillion, April 5.-Hog cholera
may be largely prevented by sanitary
measures. asserted DR.. c. C. Lipp of
the South Dakota State college, in
an address in this city. DR.. Lipp
stated that farmers underestimate
the value of quarantine, disinfection
and sanitation as ~preventives of the
disease.
IF they are acquainted with the
causes of cholera and the means by
which the disease is spread most of
them will be able to figure out for
themselves many of the available
mean for preventing it.
First. it is necessary" said DR..
Lipp, that there be better santa
ton in hog yards; the pens must be
dry, light and well ventilated; the
feeding floors must be clean; the wal
low must be sanitary. and the pigs
must be fed a healthful, balanced ra-
ton. Sanitation must be preserved
by disinfecting the hoghouses; by
keeping the hogs free from internal
and external parasites, and where
cholera is present by destroying all
the trash in the yards.
las to quarantine, there is great
necessity for taking such measures as
will prevent the germs from being in
troduced onto a farm. This includes
the isolation of hog yards and houses
away from railroads, highways,
streams. etc. Sick hogs must be iso-
lated and Quarantined away from the
rest Of the herd. and every precau-
ton taken not to visit a farm where
there is cholera. Do not allow visit
ors from such a farm on your farm.
II you have hog cholera on your
farm do not allow it to spread fur
Their through your c~arelessness or
that of any other person"

of his friends had any idea that he

Mr.. Jacobs had taken unto himself a
wife many were skeptieal. But the
rumor proved we'll founded. AS soon
as 1t was learned for sure that Mr..
Jacobs was really married, plans
were laid to give him and Mrs. Jacobs
a fitting welcome to the city. He.
with his bride, arrived home last
week. They came by the a of
Sioux Falls and word was telephoned
from there just when they would ar
rive. The tables were neatly turned
on Mr.. and Mrs. Jacobs for their
quiet wedding. They were met at

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, April 5.-Reeeipts of
cattle the closing day of the week, as
is usually the case, were limited, 100
head, and the market showed little
or no change as compared with yes
terday. Trade in fat cattle for the
week has been featured by uneven
ness. During the forepart of the SEES
sion packers had the best of the ar
gument and brought pressure to
bear, while, under the influence of
lighter supplies, trend to prices dur
ing the latter end of the week was
upward and closing quotations on
beef steers and she stuff r about
steady with a week ago.
Well bred stock cattle of both
sexes were good property this week
and finished with an advance of 10
415c, while medium to common
kinds We're a sluggish sale and closed
weak. Just a fair clearance is re-
ported by dealers.
Week end hog trade developed
pronounced strength and activity.
Supply was rather light. Opening
sales were quoted 5000 higher,
while the close was a full dime up.
Range and bulk were practically
identical, $6.67h @6.75.
Nothing new developed in the
sheep house, as the supply was too
light to create any material change.
Market for the week shows a develop
ment of strength. all classes of
lambs and matured stock being quot
ed 15@25c higher for the six-day
period.

SEEKING LAND
Land Office Officials at Rapid City
Are Very Busy.

Rapid City. April 5.-The enlarged
homestead act. which was passed by
the recent congress, is keeping the
officials of the local land office very
busy. Not only are those actually
living on the lands now taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity to annex
adjoining land. but in many instances
parties who have proven up and left
the original homestead are now re-
turning TO take advantage of the pro-
visions of this law, believing that
with the additional land the problem
OF making a living will be simpliied.
The law s%tipulates that the lands
filed on under this act shall be "des-
ignated by the secretary of the in
terror as not being. in his opinion.
susceptible of successful irrigation
at a reasonable cost from any known
source of water supply"
Every day brings its quota of peo-
pie TO the land office from all over
this district TO take advantage of the
new law. Saturday the filings reach
ed the high water mark for any one
day so far. 127 people making appli-

LAW ON BIRDS
Government Will Continue to Prose
cute Illegal Killing of Migra-
tory Birds.

Washington, April 5.-Many of the
press comments on the decision OF
the United States district court, rem
dered March 20, at Topeka, Kan.
holding that the federal migratory
bird law is unconstitutional. accord
ing to the United States department
of agriculture, are erroneous and are
apt to mislead the public concerning
the real situation in this matter.
The Kansas decision, like a for
mer decision to the same effect in
the eastern district of Arkansas. is
in its operation solely to the
district in which 1t was rendered.
Neither decision settles DR. nullifies
the law, and the exact contrary has
been held by the United States dis
trict court for South Dakota. The
Arkansas case has ben appealed to.
and is now pending in. the United
States supreme court. The act of
congress protecting migratory birds
stands effective until the supreme
court finally decides the question of
its constitutionality. In the mean
time. it is incumbent or every law
abiding citizen to observe its pro-
visions and the regulations. 1t is the
duty of the department of agriculture
to enforce this law and the officials
in charge will endeavor to do so as
long as it is in force. Reports OF vio-
lations will be carefully investigated
and when sufficient evidence is Sc
cured they will be reported for pros
ecution. In this connection it should
not be forgotten that an offender
against this, as in the ase Of other
United States law, is subject to pros
ecutlon any time within three years

For Just a Promise

; AT the Merger Club it was stat
ed that St. Johns had no hard
surfaced streets. One Mergerite
claimed we had no hard surfaced
sidewalks, and that no more
houses had been built than had
burned down. During 1914. six
ty permits were issued at an
average of almost $1,000 each.
There were l3 fires totaling al
most $1,000 per fire. These loss
es were from So up to $4,000, the
latter being the Woolen Mill fire
early in the year.
Through merging our water
rates may be less. but there are
various licenses and permits TO
be taken out that will offset
somewhat what we save and altho
these permits are not very ex-
pensive. they entail a lot of
trouble in procuring. Building
permits 10 cents per 100 square
feet, or no permit less than 81. 90.
License for milk wagon 81. so per

wiring, changing sinks. putting

quired done by licensed work

Insurance rates at Lents were
cut down I of l per cent. Lents
firemen allowed $l5 per month
spending money which generally
was more than taken in keeping
up repairs. No new street lights
were installed at Lents. They
had a sufficient number before
going into Portland.
What we would gain would be
very little. What Portland
would gain would be property
worth millions. We are asked
to exchange all we are worth as
city for a promise-just a
promise of a little saving in
water rates. j. A. II.
