LODGING.

A fellow giving his name as Clark,
full to the brim with booze, was a
passenger by the incoming train from
the east yesterday afternoon, ticketed
TO some point west. When the train
stopped at the depot he lurched off
onto the platform and commenced to
exhibit a few noisy drunken antics
just to let people know that he was
in town. He was advised by Chief
Winesburg, who happened to be pres
ent, to get aboard the train as it
would soon depart, but the fellow al
lowed he'd do as he ID pleased
about it, when the chief took him by
the collar and led him to the police
station and locked him in a cell for
the night. This morning he was
peaceable as a lamb, contributed $40
to the city treasury and went on his
way feeling that he had been hospit-
ably treated during his stay in Mad
ison.

STATE BANK LAWS
SENATOR LINCOLN OF BROWN
COUNTY CONSIDERS
THEM GOOD.

Aberdeen, Oct. 20.-An interview
appearing in an Aberdeen paper from
Senator Isaac Lincoln of Brown coun-
ty, who is extensively interested in
both state and national banks in this
part of the state, contends that the
injunction started at Sioux Falls to
enjoin the state bank examiner from
putting into effect the bank depart
ment's ruling regarding state banks
carrying at least so per cent of their
legal reserve within state banks in
South Dakota, is not an attack on the
bank guaranty law nor upon chapter
102, session laws of 1915, as has been
reported in various papers of the
state.
Senator Lincoln states that the in
junction, as well as the writ of pro-
hibition about to be instituted before
the state supreme court, is merely to
determine whether or not the state
banking department exceeded its
rights when the Objectionable ruling
was made under the provisions of
section So, article 2, chapter 102 of
the last session laws, and if the de-
partment did exceed its rights, then

ment must respect i'm passing rulings.

last legislature as chapter 1922"
stated Senator Lincoln. Il consider
the best laws eve placed on the sta
tute books of any state to govern its
state banks. Articles / and 2 are
largely a revision of the old banking
laws of this state and have been in
enforcement for years. Article 3 is
the new guaranty banking law, which

lie examiner exceeded his authority
under the statutes when he adopted
a ruling requiring state banks to
keep half of their legal reserve with
state banks. When the joint COM

her husband ended his life. Mrs.
Ehlers is 43 years OF age, but ap-
pears ten years older.
Ehlers is the mar who prior TO
ending his life went to Mitchell and
purchased and paid for a tombstone.
He then returned to his farm home,
cooked breakfast for his children and
after telling them TO 60 out of the
house, locked the door. The alarmed
children later broke open one of the
doors and in their horror found the
~lifeless body of their father, who had
hung himself from a rafter in the
house and in addition had blown
part of his head off with a shotgun.

On the half mile track at the county

some remarkable stunts considering
the fact that he has never had but
four and one half months training.
He made a mile in 2:12%. He went
the half mile in 1904 or at the rate
of 2:0S for the mile. He distanced
the quarter pole in thirty and half
seconds, showing gait of 2:O2. He
crossed the eighth post in fourteen
and three-Quarters seconds which is
less than two minute gait.
