Rapid City and will be given pre-
liminary hearing as speedily as pos
sible.
On Tai was found dead in his place

after the discovery of the murder

watch for him since that time.
He returned to Chadron only a
few days ago and was taken into Gus
tody within brief time after alight-
ing from a train.
1t is said an alleged accomplict
has been located and also will bs
taken into custody at any time.

Pierre, Dec. 16.-The comparative
showing of state banks for the calls
of June so and Oct. In this state
show that while there has been re-

HI e Kept e
Hides Of Skunks

Huron, Dec. 16.-Although he ar
gued loud and long on the unjust
ment of the law which would not
permit a farmer to kill and keep the
hides of skunks which he was oblig-
ed to kill in his chicken coops, Al
bert Mencke, living 20 miles south
east of Huron today paid a fine OF
$50 for having three of the said hid
es in his possession prior to Decem-
Der /, when the season opened on
fur bearing animals In this state.
The judge pointed out that it was
not unlawful for a farmer to kill
skunks If they killed his chickens,
but that 1t was unlawful for him to
skin them and prepare the pelts for
market.

F URS COMING
M PLE|VT|FULLY
MEET WITH SUCCESS
IN FIRST TWO WEEKS OF SEA-
son IN THIS PART OF STATE

Sioux Falls. Dec. 16.-The weather
this fall has offered much encourage
ment to trappers throughout this
section of the country, according to
Livingston Bros, buyers of furs, To-
Gated at Seventh street and Main av-
enue. They report that the season has
been at its best and that many years
have been sent, in shipments earlier
than is customary.
One of the latest shipments came
from Lincoln county, containing two
black skunk hides. There are few OF
this kind in the state, it is believed
by the local fur dealers. The black
skunk. is considered rare, and is
somewhat smaller in size than the or
dinary sized animal Of the same fam
lily. The trapper, whose name was
not recalled, obtained between $4
and SIS for each of his catches. The
ordinary skunk brings about $3.50
on an average.
Owing to the demand for the fur
of the little mink. trappers are re-
ceiving very good prices for these
hides this year. Minks bring, on the
local markets, from SO and $4 up to
$40 each; muskrats rank next, quot
ed from so cents to $1.25, and the
sly weasel ranges from rs to rs
cents.y ALI of these animals may be
found in this part of the country in
abundance. The prices for them are
paid according to their grades.
A year ago there was not as much
trapping, the fur buyers state. Then,
too, the demand for fur products was
not as great. This year fur coats,
fur caps, and fur for trimmings each
demand big supply of hides to fill
urgent orders.
One man made $500 from the sale
of fur bearing animals caught in two
weeks, it was reported.

Meridian Highway bridge across the
Missouri river her will go steadily
forward as weather and river condi-
tions permit in spite of the prevail

animously voted by the stockholders
of the Meridian Highway Bridge com

The sub-structure will be complet-

proach, together with the protecting
embankment to keep the river in
place, will be pushed to completion
before high water comes in the
spring, it was decided, in preference
to going ahead with the steel struc-
ture first.
1t is estimated this will mean post
ponement of the steel contracting for
about four months. The chief risks
that of change in the channel of the
river, should be overcome first, the
stockholders felt, and the aim will
be to harness the stream to the
South Dakota side as soon as possi-

WEATHER MAN
CANNOT TELL
CAUSE OF RECENT PREVAILING
DECEMBER HEAT.

Sioux City, Dec. meteorological
phenomena is lacking to explain the
cause of the hot" wave enveloping
the middle west. Don't worry about
the cause of the wave. It's mystery
even to G. X. Greening, who makes
study of weather conditions.
OF course low humidity and low
atmospheric pressure are causing
the unusual warm days in December,
Government Meteorologist Greening
said. But why the pressure and hui
midity are low at this time of the
year, Mr. Greening is unable to de-
termine.
The mercury mounted TO Ga de-
grees at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday after
noon. This came near to shattering
records in the office of Mr.. Greening
The highestf lis 6S degrees registered
December 10, 1890.
The area of warm December
weather is wide spread, according to
reports from Mr.. Greening. 1t extends
from the Rocky mountain regions
eastward to outh Dakota's eastern
boundary and thense straight south
to the Gulf of Mexico.
How long will 1t last? Mr.. Green
ing declared he was unable to ans
wer that question. Atmospheric pres
sure and humidity can change within
day and completely reverse the or

THROW GERMANY
INTO BANKRUPTCY
THE SUGGESTION COMES FROM
PREMIER BRAND TO PRE-
MIER LLOYD GEORGE.

Paris, Dec. 16.-France plans to
throw Germany into bankruptcy, it
was semi-officially stated here to-
day. AT London conference be-
tween Premier Lloyd George and
Premier BRAND the following plan
will be suggested by France: First,
the allies are to recognize the bank
ruptcy of Germany. Second, an al
lied commission will take charge of
German tax collections and assets
just as would be done in case of
private bankruptcy. Third, printing
of paper marks would be halted.
Fourth, the commission would con-
troll the customs, tobacco and coat
supplies. Fifth, the agreement would
be binding under an arrangement
similar to the Weishaden agreement
