STOCK REGULATIONS AS
PRESCRIBED BY COUNTIES

"The farmers of the state. have
made so many inquiries of late
through the department of agricul-
ture and labor relative to the herd
law" says Commissioner Flint, "that
I have prepared below a synopsis Of
the state law, but which is of a gen.
eral nature and does not fix dates be-
tween which stock may run in the
several counties. It does, however,
prohibit stock from running at large
at any time in the year except where
stock districts have been created by
the county commissioners at the re-
quest of the electors of such district.
This department is asking the audi
tor Of every county in the state to
forward such extracts of resolutions
passed by their respective county
boards relative to stock districts, as
will be of general information to the
farmers and which will be a part
Of u files for future reference and
accessible to the public at any time.
The synopsis follows:
Sec. 2617.-It shall be unlawful for
cattle, horses, mules, swine, goats
and sheep to run at large at any
time, except as hereinafter provided.
Sec. 2618.-The county commission
ers of each county must establish
stock districts. Upon petition to per-
NIT stock to run at large, signed by
one-fourth of the voters in said dis
trict, filed with the county auditor
specifying dates between which stock
may run and asking that same be
submitted to a vote of the people,
the board shall declare by resolution
that stock may run at large accord
ingly until the next general election,
except in cities and villages. No

high schools have entered their teams
for the fifth annual high school bas-
ket ball tournament, to be held in

auspices of Huron college. The num-
Der of entries for this year is much
larger than ii has ever been before.

there were eight teams entered; for
the second in 1913, twelyes teams;
for the third in 1914, seventeen
teams, and last year nineteen. Among
the entries this year are three teams
representing the Black Hills, and
they will no doubt inject a little sec
tionalism as well as enthusiasm into
the games.
The games, as usual, will be played
1t Daum's auditorium in Huron and
will begin promptly at $3.50 on Fri
day morning. The contests will then
follow i'm quick succession without
any intermission during the entire
day and continuing all day Saturday.
The last contest will take place
Saturday evening at 1870. The win
ners of the tournament will be award
ed the annual silver trophy cup, and
the team last ~contending with the
winners will take the tournament

FLOOD AT YANKTON
MISSOURI RIVER ICE PILED UP
FOR MILES AND MORE DAM
AGE Is EXPECTED.

Yankton, March 13.-No credence
is to be placed in the reports of loss
of human lives in the flooded district
about Yankton. Every man, woman
and child has been accounted for and
are safe. The situation here appears
to be well in hand.
Heavy ice is flowing and constant
ly adding TO the gorge which has now
reached Yankton. The gorge is sup
posed to be many miles long and high
water prevents ascertaining just how
far ii does extend. Boats are i'm use
to patrol the flooded districts and re-
stored telephone service furnishes
hourly advices from those who yet
remain in farm homes on higher
ground.
When the gorge breaks the danger
will be east of Yankton or ear Full
lerville, which is even now under Is
inches Of water in parts. In Yank-
ton the water has practically been
stationary for the last twenty-four
hours. Rescue work is going forward
uninterruptedly.
