FINDS VALUABLE PAPERS
WASHED AWAY BY FLOODS

Pierre, S. D., Aug. 31.-Joe Bise, a
Lyman county rancher, while walk
ing along the Missouri saw packet
of papers sticking out on sandbaf
He secured the packet, which was
securely tied together. and found that
while the water had damaged the
documents they could be made out,
and that they were papers which
would be of value to the owner, whose
address was shown to be Cariin, on
the Cheyenne river. Bice wrote to
the name on the papers, and was in
formed that in the flood last spring
the buildings and contents of the
ranch had been carried away, and the
papers We're in a trunk in the house,
which had no doubt been smashed
and the contents scattered. The pa
pers had floated from Carlin on the
Cheyenne river to a point below
Oacoma, where they were found.

LOSES HIS HAND
I'M FEED GRINDER
Presence of Mind of Sisseton
Man Probably Saved
His Life.

Sisseton, S. D.. Aug. 30.-While
working around a feed grinder at the
Sisseton feed mills, Stephen Murray,
one OF the prupTietoTs, got his right
hand caught in the rollers and
crushed into pulp.
The accident happNied so quickly
that his entire hand was crushed be-
fore help could come to his rescue.
Two men working nearby quickly
threw off the belt and stopped the
machine, but were unable to get the
imprisoned hand out until the ma
chine was backed up.
Mr.. Murray's presence of mind
probably saved his life. When he
found his hand caught he seized the
wrist with his left hand and forced
his knee against the mill and was
able to keep his arm from going into
the machine, although the rollers
kept managing his hand until the
engine was stopped.

Pierre, S. D., Aug. 3o.-The hand

ment both as to che spread" be-

the difference between prices at diff

in freight rates will affect the market
conditions, and the manner in which
the different buyers estimate the
chances which they take in getting
the grain to the terminal markets
The whole outlook is one of uncer-

going to be for this years crop and
the marke. department feels that I'M

there will be uncertainty in prices
but are working out what they can
in the way of getting down to basic

suit brought by another president of

supreme court. The jury returned a
verdict within an hour, giving the gov
ernor $1,000 in damages. That was a
large sum In those days. The defendants.
property was sold and bought in by the,
governors agents. Shortly afterwards;
two-thirds of the property was returned
by the governor to his slanderer and
the remainder given to the orphans Of
soldiers who had fallen in battle. Har-
rison like Roosevelt, had merely sought
vindicatton.

Those That Prey.
From the Nations Business.

A single wolf has been known to kill
IN six months, $50 head OF cattle, valued
at 5000 In the spring of 1919 a noun
tain lion was killed in Wyoming which
in one month destroyed $1,000 worth of
livestock. In less than three months six
coyotes slew 300 sheep in Texas, valued
at 5000.
They live high, these marauders Of the
western range. A yearly estimate of the
loss In New Mexico showed that per
cent. of the cattle, or $4,000 head, and
165 900 sheep had gone to feed predatory
animals. This means some $40, 600, 900
worth of livestock. Remember also that
before poisoning campaigns were planned
rodents. such as prairie dogs, squirrels
and rabbits ate 50000, 900 worth OF food
crops and the depredations of house
rats. even, exceeded a total of more than
$500 O00,000. You can see what a hole even
the small animals gnaw in the national
food supply.
