tive Packing company of South Da-
kota is rapidly going on here and 1t
has been announced by the officers

Millions of Supplies
Stolen from Cars

Washington, d. c., Aug. 21.-
Since Uncle Sam assumed control Of
the railroads he has been the victim
of merchandise thefts from freight
cars totaling $70,00O,000
OF this amount $6,0O0,000 repre-
sents thefts in the Chicago terminals.
$6,00O,O00 in Buffalo, 100000
in New York. and $2,500.000 in
Pittsburgh.
According to officials of the secret
service of the railroad administration
a great part of the stealing is done
by organized bands of car thieves,
whose Vaccinations are carried on
by a systematic process that would
do credit to a legitimate business OF
great magnitude
The stolen goods include every
thing from food to machinery. The
stolen goods are handled by fences
in the principal cities, and articles
stolen at one point are almost inva-
riably shipped to another point and
sold.
OF course, to conduct this whole
sale thieyery it is necessary to have
a number of hailroad employees in on
the deal. According to secret service
officials these employees are found
among low class of laborers, great
majority of whom are of foreign
birth. They include station en-
ployes, "car knockers" car inspectors
and other laborers. In some in
stances, which are rare, carloads oi
merchandise are stolen with the aid
of billing clerks or train crews.

the American soldier is higher paid
than those of any other country is er-
roneous. according to an official table
issued by the general staff.
This shows the three British domin-
ions-Australia. New Zealand and
Canada--allow materially higher pay
for each grade than does the United
States. For instance, in the Austria
lian army. a corporal earns $72.9O per
month. as compared to $36 In the
American army.
The other extreme is shown In the
cases Of France, japan and Italy,
where the private receives $1.5O, SO.7s
and $O.5S per month, respectively,
against the $50 paid the American

believe will prove his dcathbed state
ment, admitted that he beat his wife
who had just shot him through the
abdomen, the bullet passing entirely
through his body.

shooting followed the beating and
what she said was an unjust and un-
true charge that she entertained an
other man in their home.
Both are young. Gilliland is a
Union Pacific fireman. The revolver
she used was of large caliber. The
shooting occurred at their home and
the wife proved a good shot for she

West of River

Sioux Falls, Aug. 21.-Residents
Chamberlain and Rapid City will well
come the announcement of the state
railroad commission that the Mil
waukee railroad has been instructed
to increase their passenger transpor-
tation facilities between these points.
Through passenger service is to b.
inaugurated by the railroad CON-
mencing September / which will
bring the Black Hills and the Brule
county seat section in much closer
touch.
Passenger service for some time
between the two points has been but
desultory at best. Complaints were
numerous by the people living along
the route of the Milwaukee and the
state railroad commission finally
held hearing at Rapid City July z,
when testimony on the subject was
taken. 1t was shown that daily
passenger train leaving Chamberlain
In the evening and mixed train out
of Murdo west In the morning was
the only accommodation.
The commission ordered through
daily service between Chamberlain
and Rapid City to be installed not
later than September /. The train is
to leave Chamberlain at 5:45 a. m.
and arrive at Rapid City at 3:45 p
m, east bound to leave Rapid City
at 1880 a. m. and arrive at Cham
berlain at p. m.
That makes it possible to now leave
Sioux Falls on the Milwaukee at 7:15
in the evening and be in Rapid City
at 3:45 the next afternoon.
