TO HIS SORROW

Pierre, s.. D., Jan. 6.-While raccoons
are numerous In timber countries of
America, they are not often met with
in this state, but one evidently wan
ders UP the Missouri occasionally, and
such an animal gave A. N. Kinzie, a 20
years-old trapper, a nard fight a few
days ago. He was out looking after
his traps and started to investigate a
newly dug burrow on a hillside, and
while examining the opening a large
"coon" seized his left hand and badly
chewed it UP before the aged trapper
could get his knife out Of his pocket
and open II with his teeth. He finally
killed the animal and got a valuable
pelt to help pal the doctors bill for
his clawed and bitten hand and arm. .

SHIPPED LIQUOR IN
BARRELS As "oiL"

Sioux Falls, s.. D., Jan. 8.-Dennis
Baker and Milton Ulrich, Hand county
men, find themselves In the clutches Of
h law al the result of shipping q
quantity Of liquor into the state In Oil
barrels. At least Il is charged that
they were responsible for the shipment.
Shipping LIQUOR into the state consti-
tutes n of the most serious violations
of the statewide prohibition law.
1t is alleged that the shipment of "oil"
was consigned to Vayland and was
there unloaded from a freight train.
Baker Is alleged to have driven to Way
land in a sleigh, into which he loaded
the three barrels Of "oir and hauled
them to Miller, where II is charged that
they were unloaded and secreted In
an underground cache under the a
Of a barber shop conducted by Ulrich.
For a time before being placed in the
cache the barrels lay on the ground
at the rear Of the barber shop. They
aroused much curiosity, and, as usual
in such cases, an officer OF the law
'nosing around"
Wishing to discover to whom the
barrels belonged, the officer, when
darkness fell, secreted himself in a
nearby place Of concealment, with q
convenient "peekhole' near at hand.
About IL o'clock hat night the barrels
were moved into the barber shop. Then
the officer procured a search warranat
and swooped down on the place. The
officer found q trap door, but all or
them were too large to go through II.
A slim man was found and he volun-
teered to explore the underground
den"
He speedily found the liquor. and 1t
was not long until he had handed UP
100 full quart bottles. They had filled
nine sacks. They had been packed in
the barrels, covered with oil and
| shipped as oil. The 100 quarts are
worth $1,000 and for safekeeping he
bottles of liquor have been placed in
the steel cage of the Hand county jail,
where they will be guarded, so the
evidence against the two accused men
cannot be spirited away. =
