LEvIES FOR COUNTY ROADS
MUST BE EQUAL OVER COUNTY

Pierre, S. D., July 2S.-That the
ievies of county road funds must be
equal all over a county is the holding
of the state legal department in reply
TO an inquiry from McCook county. 1t
appears that some of the organized
townships make local road levies as
high as 5 mills, while others levy but
2 mills, and the desire of the county to
make its leVies to equalize this dis
crepancy and place an equal road bur
den or all townships of the county is
the apparent reason for the inquiry as
to the rights of such action on the part
of the county board.
That the county board of health has
no jurisdiction in u~norganized counties
attached for judicial purposes is the
holding on inquiry from Jackson
county; that the only health super
vision of such territory is vested in
the state board of health, and that
any desired action must come through
this board is the holding.
That mileage for transportation of
school children must be measured over
the shortest passable road is the hold
ing of the department on inquiry from
Brookings county. The issue was
whether children living within less
than two and a a miles distance of
q school, but compelled on account of
an impossible road to travel over
three miles, may draw money for
transportation, and it is held they may.

GIRL BOUND BY BURGLAR;
WAS FOUND UNCONSCIOUS

Sioux Falls. S. D., July 2S.-Police
have as yet been unable to solve the
mystery surrounding the drugging and
binding of Miss Carrie Hale, who lives
with Mr.. and Mrs. Gruno Kornmann,
Of Sherman, near Sioux Falls.
The girl is supposed to nav been
drugged inc bound by a burglar. So
far as known h escaped serious in
jury.
The burglar entered the Kornmann
residence through a window of the bed
room occupied by the young woman, a
screen having been removed. The girl
was drugged and her hands tied and
fastened to the iron railing overhead
and a cloth tied across her mouth.
Indications were that a thorough
search had been made to obtain money
and other v%aluables, but a gold brace
let belonging to Miss Hale was the
only loot.
The young woman had spent the
early part of the evening at Garretson,
and returned home quite late. Finding
her room warm when she entered it she
opened the window, which was pro-
tected by the screen.
The girl was found the next morning
unconscious when Mrs. Kornmann en-
tered her room to awaken her.

We saw a great many orange groves;
the oranges are nearly full grown and
look almost ripe, but it takes long
time for the oranges to mature as they
are not picked until the fifteenth of

orange groves have their trou-

frost some nights and they sit up and
watch the weather so as to be ready
to start the smudge pots. They burn
crude oil at % cents per gallon. OF
course all the land in this country has to

ready they run the water to the next
