NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. who have
been investigating the matter report
that the wild duck crop in northern
South Dakota is a bumper" this
year. The lakes are swarming with
the ducks, and ONE good shooting
is promised.
Bridgewater-The heaviest yield
of pats reported in this section is that
of Claus Johnson, whose crop
amounted to 0 800 bushels machine
measure. A 160-acre field averaged
60 bushels. The crop on the Harm
Cassen farm amounted TO 5000
bushels.
Groton-J. ID. Stenger, a farmer
near Groton, had a separator blown
up. presumably by some form of ex-
plosive placed In the machinery by
a disgruntled employe whom Stenger
had discharged. Stenger was stand
ing on the trap door of the cylinder
of the machine when the explosion
occurred. and was blown off the ma
chine and 10 feet away. but escaped
with minor injuries. Local officials
are investigating the affair.
Spearfish-As the result of his
preliminary hearing. Dick Matwig, of
this city. was held for trial in the
circuit court on the charge of row
ing poisoned grain about his premises
with intent to kill live stock belong
ing to his neighbors. Neighbors
were the complaining witnesses,
charging that a number of their
chickens had died from eating corn
treated with strychnine which Math-
wig is alleged to have scattered over
the ground ear a line fence.
Spencer-Rev. A. A. Burr, for
some time pastor of the local Chris
ton church. Notwithstanding that he
is clergyman is one of those who have
responded TO the call of the country
for men to lead the American troops
in Europe. He was among those Sc
lected to take training in the second
officers training camp at Fort Shell
ing. Mimi. In order TO do his share
toward winning the war for the
United States he has rendered his
resignation as pastor OF the church
and preached his farewell sermon,
preliminary to departing for Fort
Smelling.
Mitchell-Charles Scheurenbrand,
foreman in charge of construction
work on a local bank building. was
seriously injured when a safe door
weighing more than a ton crashed TO
the floor while being replaced on its
hinges. He was released only after
the most strenuous efforts of other
workmen. Had the door fallen di-
rectly upon Scheurenbrand. instead
of topping on it's face. he probably
would have been crushed to death.
1t Is believed that he may be perma-
nently disabled from the accident, as
a pelvic bone was fractured.
