]. B. Ross Receivers Horses
Stolen By Rustler Gang

Nine head of horses, belonging to j.
B Ross, which were stolen by George
Goodwin and Jack Stevenson, convict
cd horse rustlers last February, have
been recovered, and are on their way
back to the Ross farm.
The animals were discovered by De-
putty Sheriff Carlisle, of Stanley Coun-
ty, and Mr.. Ross, after a long search
in what is known as the Freelove and
Carter pasture, consisting of $4,000
acres in the lower Brule Indian res
ervation. Altogether % head were
stolen al the time.
Meanwhile the search for Buffalo

ing the last two weeks have made
the chase difficult and for a time made
necessary its temporary abandonment.
Despite the confidence of his friends
that he would not violate his word
and would report to Governor w. n.
McMaster, one Of the terms on which
he was granted a conditional pardon
from the state p~enitentiary about a
year CO., "Buffalo's" report has failed
to arrive although it is now a week
past due.
Officers participating in the search
are still of the opinion that George
is somewhere among his Indian
friends in Jones and Lyman counties
and that sooner or later he will be-
come tired of avoiding them and will
voluntarily give himself up.

of last night, a rifled mail pouch. taxi
en- from No. Is, THE Olympian,' was
found Tuesday under the platform of
the Mobridge Wholesale Grocery conf
pany at Mobridge.
The robbery of the mail pouch from
the crack Milwaukee train was made
known in Aberdeen this morning.
Telephone calls to Mobridge confirmed
the meager facts that were known
here today. Later John n. Price, chief
clerk of the railway mail service, sta
toned in Aberdeen told what they
knew of the robbery.
The pouch" said Mr.. Price, twas
what we call a combination pouch.
1t contained registered and first class
mail. This mail Is assembled on the
train by the clerks in the car. Some
of it would be from local points, some
of 1t from the east and other points
1t was to be put off at Mobridge.
"The pouch was put off the train al

There is no way nov to tell wha,

robbers. Every postal inspector i'm the

Former German Empress
Dies AT Doom; Holland

Doom, Holland, April 11.-Former
Empress Augusta Victoria OF Germany
died here at 8 o'clock this morning.
By a strang coincidence the end came
Just one year after she suffered her
first serious attack of heart disease.
1t was while. she was preparing to
enter the house OF Doom, the present
home of the former emperor of Ger
many after her long residence at Am
erongen that she was stricken with
what at the time was believed to be a
fatal attack. That was on April IL,
1920. For a few days there were re-
ports that her death was momentarily
expected but she rallied and accom-
panied her husband to Doom on May
Is, last.
Attacks or lei fatal malady required
at frequent intervals, each sapping her
vitality and multiplying the measures
taken by specialists to restore her
health. When her son, former Prince
Joachim, committed suicide In Berlin
last July, she was in such serious con-
dition that the news Of his death was
kept from her for a long time and II
Is said she never learned her son killed
himself.
Late last autumn the former en-
press condition gradually became
worse and on several occasions her
children were called to Doom but her
strength was such that she rallied
bravely when the end was believed i'm
minent. Since the first OF this year
IL had been kown that she was gradu-
ally sinking.

Former Millerite Canned"
From Police Force

A article i'm the WATERFOWL Herald
refers TO the discharge of w. T. Raj
fety from the police force of that city.
Mr.. Raffety was a former resident of
this city and the news will be inter-
esting to his friends here.
Considerable sentiment has been
aroused in the city over the action OF
Police Chief Olaf Ophefm in summar-
lily discharging Policeman w. T. Raj
fety.
According to the information reach
ing this Office, Raffety vas ordered
by the police chief to go to a house
on the east side and institute a search
of the premises. Raffety asked for a
search warrant and the chief replied.
:"You will either search the house
without a warrant or turn in your
star"
Raffety has a fine record as a police
mar in this city, regardless Of the
handicap he was under. His record
previous to accepting a position on the
force is clear; in fact for twenty-five
years past he has been prominent in
law enforcement in this state and has
unimpeachable recommendations from
former associates.
In refusing to institute a search in
a private home without a warrant he
was certainly within his rights Eth
er the police chief knew Raffety was
right, or he 1.-THE chief is i~nexcusably
ignorant.
If, knowing the patrolman was act
ing within his rights, the police chief
discharged Raffety, it would seem that
an opportunity vas made to order, as
it were, to- force the resignation or
discharge of the patrolman.'

STATEWIDE "CLEAN UP.

A large part of the fire waste of this
country is directly due to untidy con-

crease cost of insurance. A careful
inspection and cleanup of your entire
premises will assist in bringing about
a lower insurance rate.
Get those fire breeders and germ
breeders out OF your house and out of
your yard. They belong on the city
dump heap, but will never get there
until you START SOMETHING. A
proper cleanup will result in the
death of billions of disease breeding
flies. Let all our people observe
CLEANUP WEEK, APRIL 1928
al of rubbish, trash and waste from
their premises.
Filth. dirt and rubbish always invite
fires and disease
Waste paper, packing materials,
oily rags, discarded clothing, old fur
niture and like useless rubbish have
accumulated during the winter months
Now is the time to rid your property
of all such fire and disease hazards.
Streets, alleys, yards, easements, at
tics, closets, fierce and out
buildings all need attention.
Residents sometimes lose civic pride
but a stranger will always judge a
town and it's citizens by what he sees.
Rubbish breeds fires, it spreads fires
and increases the fire damage, it
makes fire-fghting dangerous, some
times ~impossibleb ecause of the vo-
lume of smoke. Trash sometimes
blocks ear exits and costs precious
lives.
Rebuild the defective chimney.
When you take down the stove close
up the flue hole with a metal stopper,
not rags or paper.
Replace missing, loose and broken
siding and close up needless wall
openings. Sparks may enter.
Spade UP fence orner and other
waste ground and raise green grass,
lowers and much needed vegetables
instead of unsightly and dangerous
weeds.
Your home town is what you make
it. Clean it up and keep it clean.
School children and boy scouts make
a good cleanup squad.
Women's Clubs, Commercial Clubs
and other civic bodies, through APP
pointed committees, should aid in this
work.
