THRILLED With LIQUOR
THE SEVERITY OF THE LAW II
BEING USED-MEN LOOK
REPENTANT.

In Justice A. W. S~ponholz's court
today Fred Kurth. arrested early
Yesterday morning On a charge of
permitting another to keep and use
liquor on his premises. in violation
of the state law, was put under a
bond of $500 to appear at 3 o'clock
Tuesday morning. The bond was
furnished.
In default of being able to furnish
bond Ole Hagen was held in jail on a
charge of drunkenness. His case is
in connection with the Fred Kurth
violation.
Lewis Kreusehke waived examina-
ton and was bound over to the dis
trict court ON a charge of furnishing
and giving liquor to others. AT this
time he is unable to furnish bond OF
$500, and ID held in Jail TO await
trial.
James Williams. implicated in the
same deal with Kreuschke, was
found guilty of drunkenness, by his
own admission, and was assessed the
sum of 500. w. l.. Rose was treat
ed with the same attention for the
same cause, anu TIC cdhhr AihC Wa
imposed on him.
Before Justice f. L. Soper. Ely
Conn. charged with transporting
liquor into the state of South Dakota
waived examination. and was re
auired to furnish a bond of $3.50 fol-
his appearance. He has not beer
able to get the bondsmen today.
The unusual amount of business
imposed on the justices of the peace
at this time just when they would
enjoy seeing the county fair bud ant
burst into full bloom, is caused b,
the activities of the sheriff. His &C
tivities are made possible from thu
unusual fertility of a field. induced
and encouraged by the fact tina
there is a county fair in progress
and where there will be an unusua

TWENTY-SENEN COMPANIES Or
CANNED IN SOUTH
DAKOTA.

Pierre, Sept. 5.-The state coun-
ell of defense submitted to the gen
eral public the proposition of organ
izing home guards in this state. and
as a result a large number of our
towns and cities at nee responded
by organization, the companies con
| sisting of memberships of from 20 to
$50 men to a company, Sioux Falls
orgaiZing two companies. There be-
ing no law, either state or national,
providing for such organizations in
this state, a general plan was adopt
ed which calls for the subscribing to
the usual form of oath of allegiance,
after which the company names its
officers who make application to the
governor for their respective com
missions.
This plan of organization serves a
three-fold purpose. First, il helps 10
inspire a patriotic spirit in a COM
munity as well as showing a ready
response on the part of many to per-
form such service as they might be
called upon to give. Second, it gives
a drill and training that is of consid-
cradle benefit to many who may be
called ldteT lDlO military service, anu
third, ii has a repressive influence on
those who may be bent upon unlaw-
full depredations and who would be
promptly taken ARE of by an organ
lied force of this character.
This has been evidenced this year
in the very prompt and efficient
manner in which the home guards in
several places nave done effective
duty in handling the |. w. w. ele-
ment, which otherwise might have
been more of a n than they
have been.
While the government at n time
intimated that they would have
large number of guns that would be-
distributed among the various states

| point shows that only 500 rifles will
; be furnished to the South Dakots

guns as the governor has authorit!
to call for that are in the hands o

COUNTY FAIR
CROWD FOR FIRST DAY ONLY
FAIR-EXHIBITS ALL IN
GOOD RACES.

With all the exhibits in place this
afternoon the county fair opened
with attractions that would warrant
a much larger attendance than was
vouchsafed it. The crowd was only
fair, even for the usually slow first
day of a fair.
A coplete poultry exhibit is made
in the poultry division. There are
no sheep shown. and only a few
hogs. The draft horse division is
large and the animals are of excel
lent appearance. The number of
cattle on show is very good, both in
quantity and quality. In the build
ing devoted to agricultural and do
nestle products the exhibits are com
plete and good.
The races for the afternoon were
slow in getting started. Mr.. Mat
thews, of Flandreau. is acting as
Judge of them. But one complete
race was made during the afternoon,
but men acquainted with the condi-
ton and situation said that the track
was one of the best in the country.
and its condition could o well be
improved on.
The success of the 2:16 pace was
somewhat marred by Hal Tolus
breaking down his left front ankle a
few rods short of the wire in the last
lap of the third heat. 1t will not only
~incapacitate him for the race. but
will make it necessary to go five
heats for a decision. OF the heats
run, he was first in the first two, and
80 NA-.4A E.--4 H. a. 49, -
which he broke down. The time for
the three heats was 2:15A, 2:14A
and 2:16&.
The 2:20 was won by Dewitt
in 2:1915. this horse coming under
the wire first in all three heats OF
the race. The crowd was not large
enough today about the track to Gre
ate any enthusiasm except by those
who are inordinately fond of the
sport of kings.
