Escaped Bull Buffalo
Holds Up Train

Pierre, Jan. 6.-The owners of the
buffalo herd north of Fort Pierre,
have the trouble occasionally to get
out and round up or kill ~straying
members of the herd who break
bounds and make life interesting and
more or less dangerous for ranchers.
as a young bull buffalo who is out
ranging on his own hook, rather re-
sents any efforts to hamper his activi-
ties along any line he sees ut TO carry
them out. Just at present there are
scattered members or the herd at sew
eral different points IN the country
west of the river, and one young bull
put on a small sized stunt at train
stopping with the ferry train between
here and Fort Pierre. The animal
got onto the track just west of the
bridge across the Missouri and ran
ahead of the train until the bridge
was reached, when he turned and
stood his ground. II took some nerve
on the part of the train crew to tackle
the b~elligerent bull. but they man
aged to get him off the track by bait
ing him until In his plunges he went
over the embankment at the approach
to the bridge and rolled to the bottom,
leaving a clear track.

WHY REMAINA RENT
Err?

The farm lands Of Illinois and Iowa
are valued at 100000 per acre, and up.
The price is still advancing. In many
sections of those states the land is
largely farmed by renters who are
paying from six to ten dollars per acre
cash rent.
Those men will never be anything
else but renters. AS they approach
the age when they are no longer able
to perform the heavy labor of the
farm, they will realize why ninety
men out of every hundred become de-
pendent upon charity for their living
at sixty years of age.
The rent which those men are pay
ing would make a payment upon a
farm in Hand county The renters
OF this county are not yet paying cash
rent, but the amount of rent paid by
them will make the first payment upon
a farm Of their own. But many will
argue that they are afraid of the 9TH
er payments; that adversely of some
kind will overtake them and cause
them to lose their land. Their is no
longer need to fear such a result.
The legislature of this state at it's
last session passed a rural credits
law. Under that law South Dakota
Is now loaning money 10 her own
citizens for the very purpose of en-
abling them to buy a home. The in
terest rate is low and the time of
payment is Thirty Years. Think of it
Mr.. Renter! Half a life time to pay
for your home upon small yearly pay
ments! Adversely can no longer fore
close it's mortgage upon you.
Death alone can prevent you from
becoming an independent land owner,
OF land that will be worth 100000 an
acre long before you have it paid for.
Every man in this county, no matter
what his business, should own a piece
of farm land. Come in and let us
explain 1t to you.
