Judge j. w. Jones recently COM

the heirs of Gibson r. Reynolds that

their claim, and had awarded them
the property left by their father.
This property was in the possession
of w. r. Reynolds, held by him on a
claim of his brother having made him
a gift of the property, as against his
abandoned children, Frederick ID. and
Gordon S. Reynolds.
The case is one of long continued
litigation. The last hearing of evil
dence was in the term of court of
last February, and arguments and
written statements were argued be
fore the court in chambers later.
The children's mother and ellison

One son was born, and later a formal
marriage ceremony was performed in
Colorado. Mr.. Reynolds and the
wife parted after that, and the wife

HOSPITAL FARM
DIR. MEAD REPORTS GROSS RE
TURNS ON CROP TO BE
WORTH ABOUT $4,000.

Sioux Falls, Oct. 13.-With 90
900 bushels of corn, IA, 600 bushels
of oats, 1000 bushels of potatoes,
1000 gallons of canned tomatoes,
with shelves grooming with canned
peas. canned beans and other prod
ucts, with bins full of carrots and
pumpkins and turnips, with a daily
milk product of SOC quarts and 100
head of beef cattle being fattened in
the yards, the state hospital for the
insane at Yankton is truly a house
of plenty in a land of plenty as DIR.
l.. c. Mead, the superintendent, puts
it," said Charles NJ. Day, a member
of the board of charities and correc-
tions, who has just returned from a
meeting of the board at Yankton.
DIR. Mead declares that the crop
this year is the finest ever grown on
the 1000 acres of the institution.
The season was just right and the
crop was splendid. DR.. Mead esti-
mates the gross value of the product
OF the farm this year to be $4,000,
which is a 5 per cent return on an in
vestment of $1,000, 900. The farm
has this year produced 800 tons of
alfalfa hay which is worth $500.
The dairy herd now boasts lao head
of registered Holstein cattle which
are worth $4,000, as estimated by
DR.. Mead. The milk product will be
worth $4,000. He has n COW
one of the best in the United States
which is now giving about so
quarts of milk a day. The farm has
500 head of hogs and has just sold
two carloads OF SO head, which
brought $2,8S5-an average of over
$55 each. In spite of the high cost
of living and the fact that the legis-
lature in its appropriation made very
little allowance for this. as well as
for the increase in the institutions
population, the big crop this year will
just about make it possible to keep
within the maintenance allowance.
There are now 1866 inmates"
