MANHuNT POSSES
EAcE LONG SIEGE
BUFFALO," GEORGE EXPECTED
To LEAD SOUTH DAkOTANS
LIVELY CHASE.

Mitchell. March 23.-Posses from
three counties searching for "Buf-
falo" George, alleged leader of a
band of rustlers, operating in the
vincinity of the lower Brule Indian
reservation, were marching into
bleak country today in their search
for the outlaw chief
Heavily armed and with arrange
ments made for provisioning the par
ty at various pofnts. the posse is un-
der orders to return with Buffalo"
George dead or alive"
A fight is not immprobable, as
George has declared that he will not
be taken alive and has sent word 10
the man hunters TO draw fast when
they find him.
Details as TO the progress of the
hunt near the Indian reservation
meager, as wire communication with
the posse is impossible.
Buffalo George, it is said, may
succeed in eluding the posse for
weeks. He knows the country where
he is said to be in hiding like an
open book and is believed to have
made careful plans to obtain neces-
sary provisions for an extended
siege.
Sheriffs fromssones, Jackson and
Stanley counties are participating in
the manhunt which has stirred the
entire countryside with more excite
ment than it has seen since the days
when the "Six Gun" reigned SUI
preme.
The latest act of which George is
accused is that of running off 3S
head of horses.

BEER RULING
RIlES DRYS
OPINION THAT BREW CAN BE
SOLD AT SODA FOUNTAINS
CALLED ASTOUNDING.

Washington. March 23.-Wayne
B. Wheeler. general counsel for the
anti-saloon league. is greatly exer-
cised" over the reported suggestion
of former Attorney General A. NJ,
Palmer, that beer might be sold at
soda fountains, because of his ruling
that beer could be manufactured and
sold for medicinal purposes.
1t is an astounding proposition
that beer can be sold at soda foun-
tains." said Mr. Wheeler. Il can
not believe Mr.. Palmer is correctly
quoted. This last statement makes
clear the vice in the opinion. Even
if part of the opinion is good law
and beer may be prescribed as a
medicine. the law says that no ply
sician shall prescribe liquor except
after careful examination or in emer-
gencies. That no prescription shall
be filled more than once, and that
each prescription shall be marked
cancelled when it is filled.
THE suggestion of Mr.. Palmer
that this beer ruling will serve to
lessen the hardships of prohibition
and decrease the resentment to the
Volstead act is gratuitous. No eff
fective state prohibition law ever
recognized beer as a medicine. The
United States Pharmacopoeia never
recognized beer as medicine. The
only manifest result OF this ruling is
to make enforcement more difficult.
I'VE have a number of plans with
which TO fight this beer opinion, and
will use them as the occasion de-
mands until the effect of the opinion
is overruled or changed in the law"

FUNERAL SERVICES
HELD YESTERDAY
MANY FRIENDS PAY LAST TRI-
Butte TO MRS. NINA MAT
THEWS.

A large concourse of people were
present yesterday afternoon at the
funeral service conducted from the
Methodist church for the late Mrs.
Nina Matthews. Not only did Ma
olson people show their respect for
the deceased but there came from
Appleton, Mimi, number of friends
who were interested in Mrs. Matth-
ews, long aday school and Sunday
school teacher in their midst. The
pastor of the Methodist church there
was also present and gave what is
considered the highest possible tri-
butte TO the life of the woman bril-
liant prospects were curtailed by
death.
The sermon preached by Rev Bal
lard, following an opening prayer by
Rev. Paul S. Johnson, brought con-
ISOLATION to the bereaving relatives
and friends.
The coffin was literally banked
with the choicest clusters and
wreaths of roses any hundreds of
other fair. fragrant blooms.
All were impressed with the fact
that the splendid life that has gone
forth to its maker is worthy of dia-
demes and crowns in glory. Nina
Coffey. as everyone here knew her
was of that fine mold and type of
Christian character that quickly
made friends and kept confidence A
happy school girl. a devoted wife and
loving daughter are phrases that
would best portray her earthly affil-
iations in her parents home, in her
own home and in the school, the
church and society.
The music for that solemn occa-
sion was furnished by quartet con-
sisting of Miss Agnes Krug, Mrs. E.
w. Peterson, Horace Mease and Les
lie Crow. The numbers selected
were those that breathed the sweet
incense of love. hope and spiritual
attachm ent
1t is estimated that fully sixty au-
tomobiles Joined the procession that
wended its way to Graceland ceme-
terry where were laid tenderly to rest
in a family lot all that was mortal

erless infant has been left to the
tender and solicitous care and train
ing of a saddened husband and grief
stricken relatives. .

MAY FURTHER
INVADE GERMANY
PREPARATIONS PAYMENT NOT
MADE TODAY AS EXPECTED.

Paris, March 23-Possibility of
further invasion of Germany arose
today on receipt of another tempor-
izing note from Berlin. 1t was be-
lieved the allied reparations commits
sion would consider advancing allied
troops into other rich industrial Sec
tions of Germany. Confiscation of
property was urged in some quar-
ters, proponents of the idead declar-
ing the German government could re-
imburse citizens who lost property in
that manner. The allies had set to-
day, March %, as the date by which
Germany must pay one billion gold
marks on indemnity account In
stead of payment they received a note
suggesting reopening of the entire
discussions. French officials espe-
cially resented the note.

it has been for years.
So far in this section there is plen-
ty of work il travellers wish to work.
today there were 20 calls at the fed
eral employment bureau for laborers.
Wages are s35 and $40 a month

The Trend Of
Auto Prices

New York, March 23.-There ap-
pears to be difference of opinion
in automobile trade circles as to the
probable trend of prices. 1t is held
in some quarters that wages and raw
material costs, chief among them be-
ing steel, have not declined suffi-
ciently to warrant lower prices. In
this connection it is pointed out that
most motor companies are carrying
fairly large inventories of supplies
purchased at high figures and are
unable to take advantage of any low
er material prices which may now
exist.
Others in the trade hold to the be-
lief that general reduction in auto
mobile prices will be effected this
summer, with the expiration of guar
antees which number of companies
are offering present purchasers. I'm
mediately following Ford's drastic
price cut last September. about 25
manufacturers made reductions. Most
of those who took such action guar
antted their prices and these guar
antees run out during May, June and
July. Aside from this, it is expected
that a great many motormakers will
have substantially reduced their in
ventories by summer, thereby maxi
ing it possible for them to pick up
cheaper material
1t is improbable that automobile
prices will ever get down to 1916
levels, but some further reductions
from present planes are not unlikely.

SOUTH DAKOTA
CORN PRODUCER
CROP TOTAL SHOWS INCREASE
OF S25 PER CENT DURING
PAST 2O-YEAR PERIOD.

Pierre, March 23.-South Dakota
produced 325 per cent more corn in
1920 than in 1900, according to the
figures just compiled by Irwin D.
Aldrich, commissioner of immigra-
ton, making it rank as the tenth
corn producing state in the union.
The states corn production total for
1900 was 32,002,540 bushels as
against 1O5,600,OO0 bushels in
1920.
Thirty-four counties in the state,
these figures show, now produce be-
tween 100000 and 100000 BUSH
els of corn annually. The combined
corn production of all the New Eng
land states is less than that of the
two smallest South Dakota counties,
Clay and Union.
The results of careful breeding
rapid advances made in production
by the counties in the northern half
of the state, where few years ago it
was declared not practicable to at
tempt to raise corn. Seventeen out
of the % counties in the second con-
gressional district, lying between a
line drawn west along the northern
boundary of Moody county to the
North Dakota border, show an in
crease of more than 500 per cent. In
1905 the highest production of any
county in that district was well un-
der 100000 bushels. In 1920, four
of these counties produced more
than 10000 bushels and all but
thirteen produced more than 1,000,-
900 bushels.
