RIVER May EAT way
TOTS OLD CHANNEL
Big Territory and Many Per.

braska Side.

Vermilion. S. d., July 23.-Although
the Missouri river is slowly receding
1t still continues to wreak havoc and
destruction along the South Dakota
side. and right now 1t is said the river
is at its most damaging stage. The
swift waters are still eating away he
banks with a rapidfty that far eclipses
h damaging work of the past few
weeks. 1t is feared by many that he
river will eventually eat it's way over
to the old channel. and if it does it will
be a hard matter to even approximately
estimate the damage. BY this prank
of the river thousands Of acres of land
and not a few residents will soon find
themselves in Nebraska.
Fearing to wait any longer for fear
1t would be too late Martin Erickson
t~elephoned a Sioux City moving firm
and in response to the call a car load Of
housemoving material was unloaded
and the work of moving his farm build
ings to a higher and safer place has
commenced. and now the big question
is car ne get the building moved before
he river starts on a wild course. The
soil between Erickson's place and the
river is sandy and the mad waters are
making quick work in eating it's way
through his farm.

Milbank, s. D., July 23.-As the re-
suit OF an action tried in a local court
the state supreme court may be asked
TO decide whether or not q dog is prop
erty and has the same right to a. high
way as an automobile. William Bohn,
a farmer, while driving an automobile,
ran down and killed a dog belonging to
julius Berkner. Berkner sued for $50

trial Berkner was granted a judgment
sessing the costs to Bohn. The court
held that the dog was property and
that it had as much right to the high
way as the automobile driven by BONN.
Dissatisfied with the action of the
court Bohn has given notice OF an ap.
peal to the state circuit court, his in
tention being to carry it to the supreme
court, If necessary.

'DAIRYMEN TO FIGHT
T~UBERCuLAR COW TEST
Will Bring Suit to Enjoin En-
forcement of State Law
at Aberdeen.

Aberdeen, S. d., July 21.-The contest
between DIR. Car f. Raver, city health
commissioner. and Aberdeen dairymen
over the question of whether or not the
dairymen's COWS shall be tested for
tuberculosis, has reached a point where
the dairymen, at a meeting at which all
engaged in the business were repre-
scented, resolved to fight the law pro-
viding for such a test, in the courts. and
subscribed $1,000 to finance the law
suit. The next day the Rotary club. at a
meeting endorsed DIR. Raver stand,
and passed a resolution urging all citi-
zens to buy milk only from tested herds.
1t is claimed the dairymen, at their
meeting, discussed the advisability of
boycotting Aberdeen if the authorities
insisted on the test, but the plan was
voted down.
The dairymen claim that their OBJ
lection to the test is that it Is made
generally by inexperienced young men
but recently out of college, n that in
many instances valuable dairy cows
have been declared affected with tuber-
culosis and killed, and then a post
to be absolutely free from h disease.
They state, also, that the state law
provides that the test shall not be made
unless five patrons Of the dairy sign a
petition to that effect. and that this was
not O n at Aberdeen until DR.. Rave
went out among the patrons and In
duced them to sign the petition. Bull

on the other hand, that objection to
