means uncommon in the early ages.
The daughter Of the king Of Argus
was abducted by a Phoenician. The
Greeks carried or Europa from Tyre

Next to the abduction of the fair

in its political consequences was the
king Of Leinster's taking away Of the
wife Of neighboring petty sovereign.

BANQUET SUCCESSFUL

The larger number of adults pres
ent to witness the children enjoy them
selves the banquet in the Christian
Church last night, seemed to be a sue
cess in every way. There were over
sixty persons of the ages from Cradle
Roll to Junior department who were
seated at the tables. The names on
the place cards showed that over twen-
ty were unable to attend. Much cred
1t for the success of the banquet was
due to the efforts of the Junior Super
intendent, Mrs. Ned Piper She was
assisted by the Cradle Roll Superin-
tendent, Mrs. Frank Keith, Mrs. ]. r
Dawson and other Junior workers. An
effort was made to get flash light

quest had been served. This form OF
a treat for the little ones will be OBJ

fire WARNING


Fire Chief Newell has issued a very
timely warning In regard to the use
of Christmas decorations and the dan
persons at the holiday season. The
warning is as follows.
Do not decorate your Christmas tree
with paper, cotton or any other in
fiammable material. Use metallic tinsel
and other non-in1ammable decora-
tons only, and set the tree securely
so that the children in reaching for
things cannot tip II over.
Do not use cotton to represent snow.
II you must have snow use asbestos
fibre.
Do not permit children to light or
relight the candles while parents are
not present They frequently set fire
to their clothing instead.
Do not leave matches within reach
of children at holiday time. Candles
are meant to be lighted, and II the
children can get matches they will
experiment with them. They initiate
their elders.
Do not allow trees to remain inside
buildings after the holidays. The tree
itself ignites readily when needles
have become dry. A large number of
fires usually occur in January from
this cause.
A house of merriment is better than
a house of mourning.
Fires in winter impose unusually
severe hardships upon the firemen.
Frozen hands and feet are common
incidents in fighting winter fires.
Pneumonia frequently follows expo
sure of those driven by fires out into
the cold. Defective heating and light
ing equipments and conbustible rub
bish in furnace rooms are THE usual
causes of winter fires. Such fires are
unnecessary and will not occur in
premises properly cared for.
Warning for Stores, Churches and
Bazaars. Holiday fires in these while
filled with people are usually holo-
eausts. Light, infiammable decora-
tons make fires easy to start and easy
to spread. A match, a gas flame or
an electrical defect may do II.
Watch gas jets! Decorations may
be carried against them by air cur
rents.
Do not make the slightest change in
electric wiring without consulting
electrical inspector

AFTER HORSE THIEVES
EFFECTIVE WORK BEING DONE
BY ORGANIZATION AT
BELLE FOURCHE.

Belle Fourche, Jan. 24-For no
accountable reason the occupation of
livestock stealing seems TO so hand
in hand with the legitimate livestock
industry. In the days of old when
the livestock business predominated
in this western country, the rustler
was a very prominent character, but
the quick and effective home rule"
laws which were administered to him
then. and which in many cases left
him l~ifeless on the prairie or dangling
from a tree, somewhat checked his
operations and aided greatly 20 cur
tail the business.
In this particular section the art Of
horse stealing. in particular, has been
handed down to date in a very mark
ed manner. until ii was getting 10 be
Il common occurrence for the rancher
to lose from n TO a dozen horses at
one time. These rustlers worked in
groups and after making their haul
would gather their stuff at a common
point and ship it out of the country.
Local authorities have been working
very diligently on this problem FOR
the last lniff stdl - AbiiAE vel 3tltN
tive work. but something over a year
ago, AT the suggestion of the local
states attorney. the officers of this
and the surrounding counties met at
Belle Fourche 10 determine ways and
means to put a stop to livestock
stealing. Results came swift and
certain and at the last term OF court
in Butte county, which has just
closed. VIM. Mern. VIM. Iren, Chas.
Crage and Frank Erlhoff We're con
victed of horse stealing. In Meade
county, at the last term of court,
Joshua Coffey. William Jennings.
Bryan Guffey and X. $. James We're
convicted Of horse stealing and RE-
ceived sentences from eighteen
months TO five years in the state pen
itentiary. In addition to the above
some six other convictions have been
secured on the same charge and The
result has thrown a chill into the
horse thieves of this entire section
and the authorities believe they viii
soon rid the country Of all Of them
