Cattle Shipments start.

Belle Fourche.-The cattle shipping
season for 1916 is just starting and
promises To prove a good one. All in
dications point to heavier shipments
than for several years previous. the
prevailing high prices being attractive
to cattle owners Condition of stock
is reported around the cattle country
north Of here as unusually good. A
condition not usually obtaining is the
number of cattle that are being ship
ped in here from the other sections
and then distributed on the ranches
and farms adjacent to Belle Fourche,
practically every rancher being pre-
pared to handle all the cattle his land
will accommodate. Range cattle are
fat and feed has been plentiful and
the number of cattle in this part of the
country is increasing each year. Hogs
and sheep are reported in the same
condition and heavier shipments will
result and ranchers generally through
out this district report a prosperous
year.

good majority declared in favor Of
license and for the continuance Of the
municipal saloon as the best means Of
controlling the liquor traffic. There
was some technical flaw in the appli-
cation fog the renewal of the license
for the municipal saloon, and the tenn
perance forces took advantage of this
and raised the point that under the
statutes of South Dakota there was no
authority to grant licenses to a mu-
nicipal saloon. This case now is in
court, and the decision when rendered
may affect other municipal saloons in
South Dakota. Now the county com
missioners have refused to grant a IL

for such a license also were rejected,

Plating a New Town.

Madison.-Surveyors arrived to lay
out a new town on the Milwaukee
road, on the Joseph Henkin farm,
about four miles northwest of the pres
ent town of Saranac, which will be
abandoned, and ten miles southeast
of Madison, Saranac, which is only a
mile west of Chester, on the Dakota
Central line, has never kept pace with
Chester, and the idea of the Milwaukee
officials is that a town further north
will draw it's share of business. The
new town, which has not yet been
christened, will be near Brent lake, and
Round lake. 1t is stated that a bark,
a lumber yard, an elevator and several
other business enterprises are already
assured, and the new town will start
off with prospects of a healthy growth.

Aberdeen.-Reports have been re-

a man has been arrested at that place

sage, a policeman at Andover, a short
time ago. The supposed murderer
was brought up in court at Webster
n given a preliminary hearing. He

The brakeman on the Milwaukee
road who was a witness of the shoot
ing affair at. Andover identified the
man picked up at Webster as the one
who shot Passage.
Three men were picked I'D by the
Milwaukee authorities, two of them be-
ing released. The man who is being
held for trial is said to be guilty by
those who have had the matter in
charge.
The shooting at Andover was done
wen Dan Passage, night Waterman at
that place, interrupted two l. w. WIS
in the act Of holding up another man.
Passage came around the Milwaukee
depot at Andover at about IL o'clock
at night and seeing the holdup being
staged attempted to arrest the two
men doing the holdup stunt, but before
he could reach for his gun one of the
party fired at him. The first shot miss.
ed the mark, but the second bullet
penetrated the mans abdomen.
Passage, following the shooting
walked alone to the hotel nearby,
where he told his story. A posse OF
citizens was organized and started out
in search of the holdup men, but were
unable to locate them as they had
made their getaway after the watch
man had been injured. Passage was
placed on the Milwaukee passenger
getting in here early in the morning,
and upon arrival in Aberdeen was rush
ed to St. Luke's hospital, where he
died a short time afterward.

their lines within the mex four months
and afford switching facilities between
the two systems, according to the de-
cision just handed down by the South
Dakota railroad commission. Nearly,
one mile of trackage will be built, at a
cost of approximately $4,000. The
litigation for the "Y" connection was

sion it was ruled that insufficient evil
dence was produced to require the con-
nection. Subsequent hearings were
held, with the result that the roads
we're compelled to make the change.
