MissouriFerry Ida
Now At Fort Yates
Ferry Boat Again in Operation on Mis-.
souri, River Between Fort Yates and
Winona.-- Litigation On

The ferry boat Ida is again in op-
Grafton on the Missouri river and
making crossings between Fort
Yates and W'inona daily. Oscar
Baumann sold the Ida last summer
to parties at Cannonball, and re-
Gently seized the boat under attach
ment proceedings, and it was re-
turned to Fort Yates by Deputy
Sheriff Urell about ten days ago.
Through his attorney Baumann
the first of the week secured an
order out of district court permit
ting him to operate the boat pend
ing adjudication Of the action
he brought to recover the Ida from
House & Brewster. 1t will only be
a short time now before the river
freezes over, but in the meantime
there are number OF cattle to cross
and the laying up Of the boat pend
ing the outcome OF the litigation
would be hardship and inconvcn-
icnce to the public as there is no
other way of getting across the
river.
The releasing of the boat from the
sheriff is in the interest of the pub
lie welfare and will in no way affect
the merits of the action between
Baumann and House & Brewster,
nor will it have any bearing on the
outcome of the case.

Fire Destroys Property

A. S. Kempton, who resides west
of Morristown lost his farm buildings
by fire Monday last week. The
origin of the fire has not been
learned but it is thought that it
might have started from a cigar or
cigarette as there were a number OF
men there as they intended to start
threshing on that day. At the time
of the fire the strong wind was
blowing and it was thought for a
while that the house would burn,
but with considerable hard work it
was saved. The barn and sheds
were all destroyed together with con-
siderable hay and feed, which is a
big loss to Mr.. Kempton. Norris

Rural Credits Law a Fake

| The rural credits law was passed
to make platform timber at the st.
Louis Democratic convention in
1916. 1t was rushed through in a
hurry to help the Wilson admins
tration cover up some of its failures
to make good on pledges Of 1912.
John Burke said in speech open.
ing his campaign for the senate,
1t would seem as though that was
sufficient to go before the people. +"
The rural credits act is pictured
to the public as farmers act. 1t
is really a bankers act. 1t is un-
thinkably cumbersome. 1t estab-
fishes a governing body Of five
members Cat $4,000 each) a num-
ber Of districts and separate SUBJ
covering bodies for each Gall at high
salaries;) an rmy Of counsel, land
appraisers, experts, secretaries, and
others-for what purpose? To help
farmers borrow money at the same
old rates of interest on the same old
kinds of security-but only after
unwinding reels OF red tape.
1t gives not single tenant far
mer one cent Of relief. Only the
owners of land or those who can
prove they arc Immediately going
to own land can get its benefits. +"
To get these benefits they have
to turn around and pay back five
per cent of the money for bank
stock.
But anyone else can buy this
stock also, and with it participate
in the management of the rural
credit banks. Thus any banker
can buy this stock and continue to
rule the destinies of the farmers, as
bankers do now. The difference is
that direct dealings between farmer
and banker are superseded by
way that will cost a lot
Of more money, but bring no atom
Of improvement. The law lets the /
rural credit banks have government
at three per cent, but farm
ers can borrow it from rural credit
banks at six per cent only.

i

day, and Ordered Jury Term to be
Held on November 18th

A special term Of district court
for Sioux county was held at Fort
Yates Tuesday with Judge Hanley
Of Mandan presiding. Only three
matters were brought to the atten-
ton of the court. The first matter
taken up were the cases against
Il. Hummell and Dayton Hcile;
man, charged with assault growing
out of a knitting affray at Selfridge
early this June.
Some time ago a motion to dis
miss these cases was made, but
when the matter came up before
the court the complaining witnesses
failed to withdraw the complaint,
and States Attorney johnson re-
fused to file dismissal. These cases
will therefore go over to term of
court to be held November 13.
The divorce cases Of Henry Zahn
VS.. Mary Zahn, and Clara Many
wounds VS.. George Manywounds
were granted. The Zahn divorce
was granted on the grounds of de-
sertion, and the NIanywonds case
was brought on the grounds of
cruelty.
In order to clear the docket Of the
pending criminal cases Judge Han
ley ordered special term of court
to be held on November 18th. This
will be a jury term and venire of
30 jurors has been drawn, which is
published elsewhere.

RIDES STURGEON TO DEATH.
Lad Whips 70-POund Fish in Catch
as-Catch-Can Fight.

Appleton, Wis, June 12.-Gamc
wardens have been foiled by Hiram
Beveridge, youth IS years old, who
beat the State law against catching
sturgeon by climbing upon the back
of a six-foot specimen and riding him
to death around a shallow pool.
Hiram's knees were scraped raw
un,l his legs cut, when the fish tried
to- wipe him off his back against the
shallow sides of the pool, but he
hung on and finally pounded the fish
over the head with stone until it
was either stunned by the stone or
died of. over-exertion.
The water in Fox River has been
low of late and Hiram saw big
sturgeon in a shallow pool below the
John street dam. ,He} tried to catch
it by the tail, but failed. Then he
took the dare of trying to ride it.
When he landed on the back of the
fish he found he had caught a tartar.
1t was worse than riding a bucking
broncho, but he seized stone when
the fish was laundering in shallow
water, The game wardens have de-
cIded that he did not "catch", the
fish, but whipped it in fight. 1t
provided 70 pounds of meat.
