ALCOHOL IN EXTRACT.
Case Of Wagner Merchant Arrested
for Liquor SELLING POSTPONED.

Case Of Wagner Merchant Arrested
for Liquor Selling Postponed.
Sioux Fails.-The case of v. Vawri-
mex, a Wagner general merchant, who
was brought before the United States
court in Sioux Falls on the charge OF
selling intoxicating liquor, has been
continued until a future term of fed
eral court. The offense consisted of
selling lemon extract, which the gov
eminent claimed contained a percent
age of alcohol. The extract was sold
from his stock of general merchan-
disc. but he claims without any intent
on his part to evade the liquor laws.
IT there is no repetition of the offense
it is believed the case against Vawri-
mex will be called for trial.
Rather than run the risk of repeating
the offense Vawrinek has discontinued
the sale of lemon or any other extract
in his store.

Pierre.-The last old landmark q
cattle days, and cattle kings, or per-
haps better called river mark, is to
be removed from this place by the
sale of the w. d. Walden, the steamer
owned here and operated by the North
western Railroad company. The Wal
den succeeded the rebuilt jim Leigh
ton, port Of Sioux City. about 1906
the Jim Leighton being wrecked. in
1906 and 1907 the steel bridge across
the Missouri was built at this place
and the railroad extended to the Black
Hills. About the same time free range
days closed west of the river, through
the fence law passed then, and cattle
days and cattle kings passed, to be
followed by homesteaders and farm
Ing. The old Jim Leighton used to
ship all the cattle of western South
Dakota, Wyoming and much Of Mon.
tana across the river at this point, the
steamer making trips from the enor-
stock yards at Fort Pierre where
they were brought from round ups,
for all day, and half the nights of the
shipping season In addition to this
all ferry work from the old Deadwood
trail connecting eastern South Dakota
with the western half and farther on,
was shipped both ways at Pierre. The
Walden following the Jim Leighton
here took up the same shipping for a
year or SO until the bridge and rail.
road relieved that work entirely, and
the cattle days in SO large number
passed with the fence law enactment
coming into force about 1906 and 1907.
Since that time the Walden has been
used for r%iprapping the river, and other
construction work Of that character,
making no ferry trips for years be-
tween the towns because all traffic is
handled by the hourly trains on the
Northwestern. The w. d. Whalen has
been sold to the Baker Transportation
Co., OF Bismarck, and will be wrecked
and reconstructed for use there.
