DISASTROUS FIRE
At LAKE PRESTON
DRUG STORE AND CAFE IN ASH
ES AS RESULT OF MYSTERI-
Gus BLAZE.

A disastrous fire of unknown ori-
gin destroyed two business houses in
Lake Preston at five o'clock this
morning and threatened a much larg-
er damage owing to the presence of
strong wind from the northwest.
The Lake Preston cafe operated
by Mr. Rowcliffe also the drug store
owned by Mr.. Goggins soon went up
in smoke after brave efforts by citi-
zens to stop the headway of fierce
flames.
The fire aroused the whole town
and it was seen that buildings oppo-
site the burning structures were sure
to ignite as bursts of flame shot
across the street. AS it was there
was some damage to the Masonic
hall Three large plate glass win
dows in that building were shatter-
ed by the tremendous heat. The win
dows were in the first floor walls.
The loss is large and it is regretted
that the town must suffer the de-
struction of even two buildings on
main street. The wonder Is that the
fire did not destroy other frame
buildings near.

Lightning Bolt Kills
Eight Valuable Horses

Aberdeen, Sept. 21.-Fred Lee,
well known Shorthorn breeder and
owner of Leawood farm at Britton,
was overtaken here by news that
eight horses had been killed in a
storm during the night.
The horses were being used for
corn harvesting and had been turned
into a pasture to feast upon huge
pile of oat straw. During q heavy
rain and thunder storm of the early
morning they were gathered around
the stack when the fatal bolt of light
ming killed them all. They were
heavy horses and valued at about
$1,000.
Mr.. Lee consOled himself with a
crumb of comfort in the loss. Ii the
horses had not been in the pasture
and preempted the best place around
the stack many of his purebred
Shorthorn cattle might have been
there and they might have been kill
ed instead of te teams. He has %
other horses but those that were
killed were the pick of the lot.

Sioux Falls, Sept. 21.-During the
narrowing season of the current year
hog traders were patting themselves
on the back in anticipation of an un-
usually heavy crop of spring pigs that
would be ready for market during
the coming winter and spring of
1922. From reports now coming in
TO the local livestock exchange it is
apparent that the greater part of
these early reports were erroneous
Instead of an increase in the supply
there will be an actual shortage of
from 20 to 80 per cent-some esti-
mates being considerably higher.
This reduction in the available
supply of hogs in South Dakota is
also disclosed in the annual assess
ment returns of the number of hogs
of all ages, and in Minnehaha county
less hogs on May l than the pre-
vious year 1t is pointed out by
stockmen that what is true. as to
this county applies equally to nearly
all other counties in South Dakota.
While the partial failure of grain
crops in the northwestern counties in
this state and the southwestern part
of North Dakota in the vicinity of
Lennon, Hettinger, Bowman and
New England as we'll as other sec
tions has resulted in a general dis
tribution of spring pigs over other
sections that are favored with an
abundant crop yield this merely con-
centrates the supply into a smaller
territory
Investigations of Howard Turpley
of the Wagner company of this city
covering a period of more than a
month in Montana, Idaho and Wash
ington brings to light the fact that
those sections of the northwest must
look elsewhere for their hog supply
to keep their packing industries run
ming. In consequence of this short
age in the territory covered by Mr.
Turnkey the packing institutions OF
Butte, Helena and Great Falls, Mon
tana, as well as the west coast pack
ers at Seattle, Tacoma and Portland
have permanently established order!

Yankton, Sept. 21.-An outlet or
connection with some trunk line,
such as the Meridian Highway, was
sought by delegation of Turner
county business men, representing
the towns of Parker, Hurley, Viborg
and Center Point, which called upon
State Highway Commissioner Andrew
Marvick, who was here to open bids
for Improvement of the Meridian
highway in Yankton county.
Turner county has a 12-mile i'm
proved state road, running north
and south through Hurley from vi
borg to Parker, which is in excel
lent condition. The delegation was
assured that no further work could
be done in Turner county until 1928,
as the county's quota of funds had

COURT Of SMALL
CLAIMS To START
SOUTH DAKOTA PREPARING TO
PUT NEW LAW INTO OPERA
TION.

Pierre, Sept. 21.-To get the diff
ferent officials who are to assist in
application of the new court of small
claims properly informed as to their
duties, the supreme court has had
printed a number of copies of the
rules and regulations governing their
work in these courts, which will be-
come effective January 1, 1922. Of
ficials of the different counties of
the state are being supplied with
copies of the law and the rules, with
a request to know how many copies
will be required to supply the differ
ent officers who will have duties to
perform under this law.
1t is believed that when this law
is put into operation ii will remove
from the circuit court many cases
which now get upon the calendars,
and will not only relieve the pressure
on court dockets, but will also re-
duce cost of operation of the courts.
These cases can be brought before
any municipal Judge, county Judge
or justice of the peace without any
further procedure than that of the
claimant in small claim presenting
HRS case in person to such official
and paying a fee of ST. Each of the
parties at interest can represent him
self at the hearing and tell his own
story as to the situation, and judg-
ment will be rendered accordingly

TWO ENTER PLEA

company, of Gayville, and by j. b..
Howe, formerly cashier of the Farm
ers' Guaranty State bank, of Violin.
Both cases will come to trial at this
term of court, and a brad fight Is an
ticipated in each case.
Reed is charged with embeZzling
funds totaling $4,000 from the
store which he formerly managed at
Gayville, while Howe is alleged to
have made away with funds of the
Violin institution for which he work
ed. causing the bank loss of about
$4,000.

which the plaintiff, the latter;
brother, claimed to have taken over
ID. vanDonselaar acted as his OWL
counsel, but the jury decided thai
the transfer of the note between the
vanDonselaar brothers had beer
solely for the purpose of defeating
payment of claims which the de
PENDANTS held against P. j. VanDon

properly be considered offsets

PAY CUT MUST FOLLOW
FREIGHT RATE SLASH
OFFICIAL SAYS Is PER CENT PAY
ROLL REDUCTION WOULD
ALLOW A 10 PER CENT RE-
DUCTION.

New York, Sept. 21.-That any
further cut in freight rates will be
at the expense of wages was the state
ment made by Edward N. Brown,
chairman of the board of directors
of the Pere Marquette and of the
St Louis and San Francisco railroad
companies. Mr.. Brown contends that
by reducing the pay rolls of the rail-
roads $500, 100000, or Is per cent
per annum, the carriers would be
able to reduce freight rates by 10
per cent.
Mr.. Brown intimated that the rail-
roads will make applications shortly
for another reduction in wages, bas-
ing their plea on the fact that re-
duction in rates hinges directly on
another cut in wages.
Mr.. Browns opinions, it is report
ed, are backed up by a number of
railway officials, and it is believed
the application will be filed with the
federal wage board within the next
six months.
Mr.. Brown in commenting on the
situation said:
'It is not too much to hope for
that within a reasonable time eco
nomic conditions will warrant a fur
ther scaling down in wages by the
railroads. If Is per cent cut could
be applied to the present wage
schedule the resultant saving of ap-
proximately 100000 a year
could be translated into a general re-
duction in freight rates amounting g
to about 10 per cent"

Horse Raisers To Ship
Their Light S toe k

Pierre, Sept. 21.-Ranchers in the
northwest corner of the state have
formed an organization for the ship
ment of light horsese which are
ranging in that part of the state.
Many of the ranches have a few
head of this class of stock, but not
enough to make an individual ship
ment pay. The plan is to center the
stock at Lennon the last of this
month and send several carloads to
st. Louis, which appears to be the
central horse market of the country
just now.
This stock is not considered of
any great value on the range, and
while nothing in the way of fancy
prices rs expected, the returns secur-
ed will help clear out that class OF
stock and leave more range for a
better class of animals.

Boy Kills Man,

Jackson, Mimi. Sept. 21.-Vernon
Peterson, age Is years, has been held
for hearing in $4,000 bail, on a
charge of having run down and killed
MAIDS Hansen, an aged resident of
Jackson. Peterson, it is alleged,
after striking Hansen with his car,
turned out his lights and left the
scene without investigating Hansen's
injury. The young man was arrested
later at dance hall in the country
near here, and although he denied
hitting Hansen with his car, officers
found one of his front lights broken
and the fender bent, proving, they
say, that Peterson hit the man.
