GAMBLING TRIO
SKIN TRAVELLER
INVEIGLE HIM INTO CARD GAME
ON TRAIN, STAGE FIGHT
AND ESCAPE.

Sioux Falls, April 23.-According
to word from Elk Point Sheriff Dah-
lin is looking for three smooth
strangers believed to be part of a
gang of professional crooks who are
working the trains on the Milwaukee
railroad in the southeastern part of
the state.
The experience of a traveller, said
to be quite well known in Mime
haha county, on Tuesday, brought
the operations of the swindlers to
light. One of them is said to have
engaged the attention of the Mime
haha county man, while en- route to
Elk Point from Sioux City and sug-
gested a card game to pass the time.
The latter finally won and was pro-
ceeding to take the $40 winnings
when thestranger grabbed the bills.
In themelee, his confederates mixed
in and severely mauled the traveller
The scuffle in the smoking compart-
ment attracted so much attention,
however, that the first stranger Of
fered the traveller the money il he
would drop the whole affair. The
latter was then thoroughly aroused
and declined and as the train neared
Elk Point prepared to have the men
arrested. They eluded him and
jumped from the train. He managed
to keep the money.
Sheriff Dahlin was notified and is
looking for them. They are said tc
be members of an alert crew who are
raking in the coin from unsuspectine
fellows who have a penchant FOL
small card games"

Farmers Will
Drain Lake Beds

Springfield. April 23.-Hunters of
this part of the state are lamenting
because farmers of this vicinity have
decided this summer to drain a num-
ber of lakebeds, which for years have
been the gathering places of large
numbers Of wild ducks, affording the
finest kind of shooting for the hunt
ers.
Some of the lakes are stocked with
fish, and for many years have been
"a resort for the fishermen of the
towns of this region.
The draining of the lakes, it is
feared, will terminate wild duck
shooting in the territory, as the
ducks will be without bodies of wa
ter and naturally will "pass up" this
section.
