Northwestern RAILS
CLAIMED AS PART OF
PRIVATE FARM LANDS
Owners of Land Get Injunction
and Stop Workmen From
Removing Old Steel.

Rapid City, S. D., April 15.-When
the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad
company endeavored to remove rails
forming about a quarter of a mile Of
trackage on the property known as the
old S lelter property here, this week,
they were enjoined from doing so by
the present owners of the property,
Farrar & Jepsen.
The plaintiffs in the action claimed
that they had purchased the track with
the rest of the. property and that the
rails belonged to them. When the
sheriff served the injunction papers on
the company and the foreman on the
job, over 100 foreigners were at work
getting out the rails.
The case is now in circuit court here
and the aborers are waiting for a de-
cision before continuing the work or
leaving the city.

a "horrid" man had the courage to cast
his derby into the chaos of flowers and

SOUTH DAKOTA
SCOTLAND,

At a recent meeting OF the Academy
of Science In Paris, Professor Laveran,
of the Pasteur institute, described a new
form of tetanus which makes its ap-
pearance from 80 to 80 days after the
wound has been received. whether the
patient has been given a preventive in
lection of serum or not. The disease
can appear without apparent cause but
usually it occurs after operations or on
h outbreak of fresh inflammation in
wounds. 1t is fatal in from one-third
TO one-half of the cases. A treatment
of antitetanus serum once each week is
recommended.

ACQUIRE DAKOTA CENTRAL

Watertown. S. d., April 17.-Follow-
Ing the issuance of the decree by Judge
James D. Elliott at Sioux Falls, which
will result in the sale of the South
Dakota Central railway within 80 days,
there are persistent rumorS afloat that
the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
railway or parties associated herewith,
contemplate steps to procure this road.
1t is a we'll established fact that the
Milwaukee is the most logical line to
assume control of the Contra in case
it is sold. as by linking up the Water
town end of the line with the main line
of the Milwaukee at either Summit or
Ortley, the Milwaukee would secure
a very valuable feeder which operates
through a rich territory with its south
ern terminus in Sioux Falls. Another
rumor is that grading crews that did
work on the proposed northern extern
sion of the Central from Watertown
over a year g are accommodating
supplies sufficient for a seasons work,
preparatory to again resuming work
on the unfinished grade north from
Watertown to some point on the Mil
waukee. That work is to be carried
en- for the purpose Of completing the
grade is very plausible in view Of the
statement made several months ago
by representatives of the hondholders
that if through the sale of the rail-
road, an extensive program of road i'm
Erovement would be carried out.
