Penitentiary Inmate
Escapes From Prison

Sioux Falls, Aug. 30.-William Ku.
nnecke, an inmate Of the state pen
itentiary here since 1904, escaped late
yesterday afternoon. He was serving
a life term on conviction of murder
in Stanley county, for the murder of
three persons, whose skeletons wera
found buried on his homestead. II is
thought that he escaped while sand
wagons were passing In and out of the
penitentiary grounds. He is about 60
years old and of German descent.
Mysterious disappearance OF farm
employees on K~unnecke's farm brought
on an investigation and three skele-
tons were brought TO light. He hired
to work for him and when their
time was up and they demanded pay,
killed them and buried their bodies.
Kunnecke was one OF the several
convicts who ATTEMPTED to escape sew

naval aerial establishment, with the
principal station at Pensacola. Fla.
The personnel at that station was 3S
aviators and 1853 enlisted men and the
equipment consisted of 90 seaplanes,
five kite balloons and two free bal
looms.
A department of aviation was or
ganized Immediately and the various
bureaus took up the work of provid-
ing men and equipment. The Bureau
of Steam Engineering took charge Of
the development and manufacture of
motors and radio equipment; the
Bureau of Construction and Repair
dealt with the hulls and wings of the
planes; the Ordnance Department
provided machine guns, and bomb
launching devices and thousands OF
tons OF high explosives and the Bure-
au of Navigation supplied and trained
thousands of officers and enlisted men.

School Opens

Early i'm September school work will
begin and the help of parents is
earnestly asked for in getting the chill
dren i'm school at the very beginning
is trying hard to get children to enroll
at once when school begins. Every
year thousands of seventh and eighth
grade pupils fail to make their grades
because of late enrolment Over 30
per cent of the money spent on oun
try schools is wasted because of poor
attendance; last year it probably was
so per cent.
The last legislature made the com
pulsory school law really effective by
naming the state sheriff as truant Of
iicer. The way this officer has enforc-
cd liquor law indicates that he and his
deputies may do in enforcing the
school attendance law. 1t must be
remembered that the state department
and the courts have always held that
work at home" is not an excuse for
failure to attend school. Teachers
must make special reports two weeks
after school opens; these reports must
be submitted to state officials, wits
census reports, on request. Even Ii
they desire to do SO, county superin-
tendents and school officers can no
longer shield parents who violate the
compulsory school law. The fact that

A New Sport For
Big Game Hunters

Nearly every community is infested
more or less with auto speed fiends,
who not only %endanger their own lives
but the lives of others, in endeavor-
ing to see if they can't make the
speedometer creep up to the last
iotch.
A writer in one of our exchanges
makes the following suggestions in
dealing with these maniacs:
Mr.. Editor:
There is a great deal of discussion
i'm the papers in regard to how to
control the auto speed fiends. For
a Nation that has succeeded in pro
hibiting the use Of malt and spurious
liquors it would seem to be an easy
matter to curb these birds | have
two plans to do this. and believe eth.
er of them would be a perfect solu-
ton.
First plan: Build two separate
highways. Call one the "Damphool
Highway" and the other the Service
able Road" OF course all speedstcrs
would be compelled to travel the
Damphool road. thus not interfering
with the pleasure and safety of intel
ligent people.
Second plan: Let the legislature at
the next session pass a law desig-
mating all auto speed fiends as game
birds. Make the season for shooting
them open the year round. Charge a
reasonable license but enough to cover
the cost Of burying the dead game,
This plan would open up a great field
of sport and our hunters might leave
the poor harmless duck, quail, and
chicken alone for a few years.
Neither of these plans have been
copyrighted by me. but il either should
be adopted / sure would like the cred
it. Jitney.

HIGHWAY SUPT
MAKES REPORT
Over Fifty Miles Of New Grade Built
Twenty Bridges Built

Just a few words in regard to Hand
County roads. In last weeks issue of
the Press, there appeared an article
reading, "Tbe Trail Needs Work. and
goes on to say that people passing
through Miller. report that the Trail
passing through Hand County is in the
poorest condition of any county be-
tween the eastern state line and the
Missouri. river.
Now this may have been a fact but
just a word Of explanation. The prin-
ciple reason for the Trail not being
in better shape is that we have not
until recently had the proper machin-
cry to smooth it with, and there has
been a great deal of repair work on it
during the wet season and the heavy
traffic at the same time has left these
places quite rough.
We ave an order for a double en-
CINE road drag early i'm July. it was
shipped July 23rd and did not arrive in
Miller until August 2Sth. On August
Goth and 30th we pulled this drag the
full length Of the Trail and back. leav-
ing it in good condition with the excep-
ton Of where repair work had been
done but hope to smooth these places
the present week.
For the interest OF the taxpayers of
Hand County ! am pleased to infouh
them that we have accomplished some
thing SO far this season, and we still
have at least two months before us.
We have completed over fifty miles OF
new grades, besides s~urfacing over liz
teen miles of old work. We also have
an elevator grader crew with ten dump
wagons that are filing in the low
places. and | dare say that their work
will bear the inspection of any road
builders.
We have completed twenty of as fine
concrete bridges as you will find in
any state and there are several crews
that have done excellent repair work.
and all are still working.
Now this is a large county and IL is
impossible to finish the road work In
one year, but by everyone boosting we
can all be benefited with good roads
m the near future la my experience
through life find that it is far better
to be a Booster" than a Knocker.
Yours very truly.

5. D. Live Stock Brands
Must Be ~Re-Regstered

Pierre. S. d., Sept. Like a num-
Der Of other states with large live
stock interests, South Dakota has got
to the stage where its brands for live
stock were so numerous and so many
of them old and abandoned that an
entire revision OF them seemed to
most desirable way to serve the stead
lily growing difficulty OF recording new
brands. Consequently the 1919 legis-
lature passed an act for the r%e-record-
ing of all brands.
The law went into effectc July /.
and before August l the brand COM
mission sent out a notice to every
brand owner to submit his design,
ever it might be. for ~re-recording.
The replies are now coming I'm with
great numbers, and the brand com
mission is having all existing brands
now in use, ~re-recorded.
Under this process the old, unused
or abandoned brands will of course
not be reported-and SO the law pro-
vides that January /, 1920 all brands
not r~e-recorded before that date, are
automatically cancelled. Consequent.
ly all owners OF brands must have
their ~re-recording done before thaI
date, in order to continue their brand
in force and effect.
New brands can be had. II they ds
not conflict with others-and by Jan
uary / the entire matter OF registra'
tion of brands will be up to date
ready for new entries.
South Dakota has over 1905
brands in force now. some Of which
will not be re-recorded, as they have
long since been abandoned by theil
owners.

HUNTING SEASON
OPENS SEPT. Is
Law Changed by Last Session Of
State Legislature

The hunting season in South Dakota
will open a little later this year than
formerly.
Under the laws of the 1919 session,
the hunting season for both field birds
and water fowl open on the same date.
September 16. The season for field
birds closes October Is and that for
water fowls December 81 The same
session made one decided change In
the hunting code. They provided that
it shall be a misdcmeanor for a hun
ter TO enter upon. or allow his dogs
to run upon cultivated lands anywhere
in the state without first securing the
consent Of the owner or party having
control Of the land; along with this
the old provision was continued, which
prohibits hunting on any other lands
where there is a posted notice. or
where the owner makes a verbal pro-
test against hunting on the land.
These restrictions will very much linn
hunting, as It would be rather hard
to go out into the farming district on
a hunting trip and keep dogs off of
lands.
