GIFT CATTLE
TURNED LOOSE
Attempt Made to Stampede Cattle
Given To Germany

Scotland, S. D., March 25.-A pitch
ed battle between some three hundred
men alleged to have been members OF
American Legion posts of Hutchinson
and Bon Homme counties and about
an equal number of farmers of Hutch
inson county was ayerted late last
night at Kaylor, near here, when the
alleged L~egionaires found that their
guns numbered only about 80, whereas
the opposing forces were armed to the
man with rifles and shootguns.
The trouble Is said to have started
when residents of Hutchinson county
began collecting cows at Scotland to
ship to Germany. Wednesday night
800 animals being held at Scotland
ready for shipment were released from
the pens and started toward their
homes. They were quickly rounded
mp, however, by those who had donated
them and returned to a corral near
Scotland. Fearing trouble, the sheriff
of Bon Homme ordered the cattle TAX
en- out of the county, and accordingly
the animals were removed to Kaylor.
They still are in a corral there. The
opposing forces gathered last night
and moved on to the farmers but re-
treated when they found the latter
were armed to the teeth.
Trip. S. D., March 26.-Fourteen
men, all of whom were said to have
been implicated in the stampeding of
the six hundred head of cattle, at
Scotland Wednesday night, were ar
rested here today. They were search
ed and -four were charged with carry
ing concealed weapons. They were
fined IS and costs. The others were
freed.
, Several of the men said that al
though they were members of an ex-
service mems organization in Scotland
they wished to make It efnphaticaily
understood that they were in Trip as
individuals and not on authority from
their organization.
According to unofficial reports, they
admitted to officials that they came
here for the purposes Of liberating the
herd of cattle that had been donated
by the farmers of Bon Homme and
Hutchinson county and which had
been corralled here for shipment 10
Germany. The shipment was carried
out this afternoon with several hum
dred farmers standing by, armed, it
was said, to see that there would be
no interference.
No effort was made to cause a STAN
pede as was done in Scotland Wednes-
day night and attempted In Kaylor
Thursday night.
Feeling between the two factions
on one side the crowd which had OPP
posed shipping the herd to Germany
and on the other the farmers, many of
whom are of German-Russian extrac-
tion-is still unfriendly, but, with the
aid of state deputy sheriffs, who ar
rived today. officials hope to- avert any
trouble.

SERM ON
By REV. A.. c. MacLEAN

of the body is not death as Jesus
it. The poet has the right con-
when he sings:
at is not death to die,
To leave this weary road,
And midst the brotherhoodson high
To be at home with God.
Jesus thou Prince of life,
Thy chosen cannot die;
Like thee, they conquer in the strife,
To reign with thee on high"
We say the sun is setting, but in
another part of the world they say it
is rising. A believing soul goes over
into the world beyond and we say she
is gone,' but there they say "he has

City OF WATERFOWL

WATERFOWL Herald-Mayor w. j.
Halloween, of Miller, accompanied by
Mrs. Halloween and their daughter,
Miss Elizabeth. who is the principal
of the Clark high school, were Water
town visitors Saturday afternoon.
During their visit here Mr.. Halloween
visited Rev. J. E. Booth who lived at

Mr.. Halloween expressed satisfaction
with Watertown and compared it fav-
orably with other towns of the state.
For his own thriving, hustling little
city, he said that the business depres-
sion was rapidly passing and that the
indications were for a speedy return
to normal conditions and that Miller
had several contemplated improve
ments planned, notably paving, which
he said they hoped to commence this
fall.

TRACT
DISAPPEARS
Land In Meade County Drops Myster-
iOusly From Sight

One of the most freakish incidents
reported is that of the disappearance
in Meade county Of a large tract of
land, which mysteriously sank from
view. A homesteader, Johnny Wind
sor, who is living nea the inland town
OF Tivis brought the story to Pierre.
Settlers in that vicinity are few and
very far between, which may account
for the story not having been brought
to light previously. Tivis' itself is
located more than 40 miles from the
nearest railroad and boasts of no
newspaper. The substance of Wind
sor's story follows.
Settlers living in the valley of Tepee
had their attention called during the
latter part of December to frequent
thunderlike noises which continued
during the day and night in clear and
cloudy weather, regardless of the tenn
perature. At first little was thought
OF this disturbance, the natives attri-
buting it to some peculiar phenomen-
on connected with the unusually mild
winter. Later, however, when these
thunderous sounds were heard at reg
ular intervals Of three hours, the ran
cheers became curious. There was
much speculation as to just what
could be the cause Of the disturbance
but no possible solution was arrived
at.
About two weeks ago, according 20
Windsor, a rancher riding the range
in search of stray stock, came upon
an immense hole in the ground, seven
miles from his claim, where last fall
there had been no break in the sur
face. This hole is about % miles
northwest of Tivis in the Tepee creek
valley.
Upon investigating this, the ranch
er found that between Is and 20 acres
had dropped from sight, leaving a hole
whose sides are almost perpendicular,
the bottom of which cannot be seen.
There is no other evidence in the vi
cinity Of a subterranean disturbance.
With some neighbors the rancher re-
turned to the hold to make > more
thorough investigation. From what
ever angle they looked into the cavern
only the blackness of an apparently
bottOmless pit met their gaze. When
ever a large boulder was rolled into
the pit, no sound of its striking bottom
could be heard.
In the hope of having some explana-
tiOn for the phenomeon advanced and
II satisfy, themselves, the ranchers
have asked that a state %geologist be
sent out from one of the state insti-
tutions to investigate the hole.
Windsor asserts that the thunder
like noises, first noticed in December.
continue at regular intervals Of three
hours and that it is more apparent
in the vicinity of the pit, although it
does not appear to come from it.. He
also says that it can be distinctly
heard 20 miles away.

FIRES WARN
AGAINST CARELESSNESS

The open season for prairie fires
seems to have arrived, as numerous
fires have been reported in this and
surrounding counties. At this time
Of the year, a warning to use care in
burning will not be amiss.
A recent prairie fire in southeastern
Hand county last week destroyed a
large amount of hay. The following
account is taken from the Washington
Times:
A disastrous prairie fire swept al
most the entire distance across Spring
Lake Township last Friday. 1t start
ed on the Adam Mohr farm from a fire
set to burn up the trash on a garden
plot. There was not a strong wind,
but the growth of grass was 81 heavy
and so dry that it burned like finder
and was extremely difficult to stop.
There is a stretch of several miles of
prairie land with but little cultivated
land between and in spite of the num-
erous fire fighters the flames spread
and rushed onward on their destruc-
tive our for several hours until
they were finally checked in a fax
stubble on the old Wiser farm. The
burned area was from one to two
miles wide and approximately 7 miles
long and a great deal of hay was con-
sumed, including all that some farm
ers had. Willie Todd and George
Thrane lost all they had, while the
Templetons, Chas. Stoudt, Chef Shirts,
Dave Erwin, Morten Mortenson and
several other farmers were heavy loos-
ers.
The only redeeming feature is the
fact that hay is quite plentiful and not
so very high priced so that it can be
replaced without the expenditure of a
great amount of money That amount
of hay last spring at this time would
have been worth thousands of dollars.
But the hay burned is not the only
damage. The grass will be very bad
ly hurt for years to come, unless it
should happen to be a very wet season.
If it should happen to be a dry season
there will be no hay and very little
pasture on the land that was burned
over.
The new school house in Spring
Lake and several sets of building had
close calls, but fortunately were saw
ed.

THE CONQUERING CHRIST
Il Cor. 1859

The outstanding theme of the preach
ing in the Acts OF Jesus and the resur-
rection. 1t is the cornerstone of the
Christian faith, the Keystone to the
Christian arch. Remove 1t and the
building topples, the arch will collapse
Only a dead hero is left.
"If Christ be not raised says the
Apostle, "Ye are yet in your sins.
The preaching of the cross is in vain.
The exhortation of this text is based
upon great fact: Therefore be ye
steadfast."
Two great enemies of the race are
mastered by Jesus in his resurrection.
He Is Master Over Death
The writer of the Epistle to the He
brews declares that Jesus came TO
deliver them who, through fear OF
death, were all their lifetime subject
to bondage" Having risen from the
dead, Jesus is now master over death
and the believer need for fear that
enemy.
And yet that enemy SEEMS to be
working. The hearse is in evidence

NEED TO TEACH FIRE
PREVENTION In SCHOOLS

IL the loss Of property by fire in the
United States in the last five years
could have been saved and added to
salaries for school teachers, they
would all have had approximately 81
per cent higher pay annually, accord
ing to statistics which have just been
compiled by the National Board of Fire
underwriters and issued in New York
by the National Association of Credit
Men.
This amazing showing has just been
made by the latter organization in con-
~nection with its nationwide campaign
for fire prevention education in the
public schools. Bills providing for
such education have been introduced
in many OF the State legislatures and
acted by a majority of the States this
year.
According to the associations fig
ures, compiled from u. S. Government
reports and National Board statistics,
the total amount paid in salaries to
teachers in 1918, the last year for
which figures are available, vas SAIL
0S4 ,254, compared with a loss of ST.
416,3 900 by fire for the five years
ending with 1920. Thus the fire loss
in those five years was about three and
a third times the amour of teachers
salaries for a single year.
In every State in the Union the fire
loss for the period was greater than
the annual teachers payroll, the only
exception being in the District of Col
umbia where Uncle Sam tries to run a
model city. There only the situation
was reversed.
In addition to the property waste by
fire, $4,000 human lives were sacrificed
in the same time, according to a state
ment just received by the National
Association of Credit Men from Gov
ernor Harry l.. Davis, of Ohio.
81 believe that one of the most eff
fective methods Of coping with this
great peril is through the education
of our children" added the Governor.

Compulsory School Attendance

Many complaints are being made
about children leaving school for work
at home. This is especially true Of
boys in the grammar grades, whose
school work at this time of year means
a great deal to them. In no case may
children leave school for work at
home. or for any other reason, except
sickness. unless they have finished the
eighth grade or are over sixteen years
of age Pupils who have not finished
the sixth grade are not excused at all
unless they r physically unable to
attend school. This is the state law.
and must be obeyed. After July first
the age limit is seventeen years.
