Officials Paid Too Much.

Buffalo.-A special examination of
the records of Harding county, made
by deputy from the executive &C.
countant's office at Pierre, brought
forth the fact that nearly all the Of
fcials of the county had been over
charging for their services. In no in
stance was it found that an overcharge
was Intentionally made, but was due
to misinterpretation of the law. For
instance, the county commissioners,
in figuring up their per diem, had in
cluded in their charges the time re-
quired in travelling from their homes
to the county seat and hack again,
which the law does not authorize them
to do.

RichIand Co. Farmers Hold Grain.
Wahpeton.-Most of the farmers of
Richland county are holding their
grain, only small portion of the total
production for the year having been
sold. Many declare they are disposing
only of enough grain to meet running

the county are filed with wheat. The
condition prevailing in Richland county
holds in adjoining counties in this Sec

holding their grain in anticipation of
higher prices.

Coyote. Attracted by Auto Lights.

Coyotes Attracted by Auto Ii9ntS.
Pierre:-Organized coyote hunts are
being held west of the river and wolf
hounds are in great demand. AS in
the case Of the jack rabbits, which
have been hunted with the aid of auto
searchilghts of automobiles the coy
otes seem fascinated by these lights
and will approach quite close to an
Illuminated auto at night. Some hunt
ers are going after them in this way.
Every year more coyotes and wolves
are killed in South Dakota than the
$4,000 bounty appropriation will meet,
so the fund is to be apportioned on a
pro rata basis, getting beneath 81
each. Now that homesteaders and set
tiers are again engaging in fattening
cattle this winter in greatly increased
numbers over the past few years, the
killing of coyotes becomes even more
necessary precaution in those 1ocalf-
ties.
