Effort to Divide Meade County.

.Pierre.-Another effort will be made
this year to divide Meade county. At
the last effort in that direction, no
action was secured on account of the
local jealousies, one list wanting q

two-county, and between them they
failed to get anywhere. This year 1t is
to be a ~two-county proposition. Under
existing conditions some towns are al,

a trip by rail when the roads are not
practical is longer than a trip from
