BILL BELIEVED DOOMED
Hearings on Measure Permitting Min
nesota to Join Control End.

shington-Chairman Gilbert Hau-
gen of the House committee on agri-
culture intimated that his committee
would not go any further with the
Clague-V olstead bill that would per-
nit the state of Minnesota to parti-
cipate with the federal government in
the control of the South st. Paul stock
yard.
Hearings on the bill were concluded
when W. E. Thompson, superinten-
dent of scales of the Minnesota rail
road and warehouse commission and
Robert j. Wells, superintendent of the
inspection force at the stock yards,
urged the adoption of the Clague bill,
and Chester L. Morrill, of the agricul-
tural department, who is in charge of
the administration Of the stockyards
act, opposed it. The Minnesota men
covered practically the same ground
as at other hearings, laying stress on
the necessity for having weighing
force independent of the stockyards
associations and requiring commission
men to give bond for the protection of
the shippers.

HOG CHOLERA SPREAD
South Dakota Expert in Animal
Disease Gives Warning.

Brookings, S. D.-The stage is all
set in South Dakota for the widest
outbreak of hog cholera since the year
1914, according to DR.. G. S. Weaver,
extension specialist in animal disease
at State college.
to Dr. Weaver, are to be found
throughout the eastern part of the
state at the present time. The num-
Der of outbreaks is larger than usual
at this time of the year, and the indi-
cations are that the disease will
spread widely this summer and fall. 1t
is only possible that through some
peculiar and unforeseen circumstances
a bad outbreak may be averted.
''It behooves every farmer to be on
the alert and keep close watch over
the condition of the hogs in his neigh
borhood, as well as his own herd
says Or. Weaver, land at the first sign
of trouble use every possible means to
prevent the spread of the disease.
"All we'll hogs within a radius OF
two to three miles OF the infected herd
should be vaccinated. The time to
vaccinate is while the hogs are well,
not after they are sick. Some few
hogs may be saved in sick herd, but
the vaccination of sick hog is al
most like vacinating sick man after
ne already has contracted the small.

GUARDS QUELL
PRISON RIOT
South Carolina Penitentiary Au-
thorItes Fire Into $50
Armed Convicts.

Columbus, s. C.-Fourteen prisoners
were wounded, two possibly fatally,
when $50 inmates of the South Caro-
lima penitentiary revolted against the
authority of the guards. At the same
time the chair factory building where
the uprising occurred, was set on fire
but the recalcitrants were put down
and the blaze extinguished speedily
The outbreak was said to have been
the elimination of dissatisfaction ex-
listing for several weeks.
The trouble arose at the lunch hour
when $50 prisoners refused to enter
the chair factory for the afternoons
work and armed with sticks and
knives used in the factory work adj
vanced, according to prison authori-
ties, on the guards. The guards, it
was added, then opened fire, many
shooting over the heads of the prison
ers but some firing low with the re-
suit that 1 men fell wounded.
Prison officials said that about
three weeks ago they were advised
prisoners were in possession of con-
cealed weapons and an investigation
uncovered more than 100 knives,
razors, bayonets and blackjacks. Or
ders were then issued to deprive the
men of the civilian clothes ordinarily
worn in the penitentiary and to have
the prisoners wear stripes. The or
ders were said to have caused dissatis-
faction and the outbreak followed.

Billy scraped up to the table as Tip turned away. What's the matter with this pepper pot, anyway" Tip turned to look. Billy picked up the pepper pot slowly and stared hard at it. Felix Craft craned his neck.
 T don't see anything the matter with it," said Craft.
 Don't you?" murmured Billy, his fingers busy with the removable top. Look here"
 Sam Larder did not move, but both Tip and Craft obeyed. In fact, they obeyed with such good will that the handful of pepper that Billy instant | ly swept into their faces dusted Up their nostrils as we'll as into their eyes.
 In throwing the pepper Billy had employed his left hand. This left hand had not completed the motion before Billy was reaching for the platter of eggs with his right hand
 It was unfortunate for Sam Larder that he was a slow-going gentleman The platter struck him edgewise over the eye when his six-shooter had barely cleared the holster. The six shooter thudded to the floor Sam and his chair went over backward and lay together in a tangle amid the fragments of broken platter and the lremains of several eggs. He was un. conscious.
 Billy. arriving in Sans immediate neighborhood a split second after Sam struck the floor, scooped up the |fallen siX-shooter and wheeled back to face his other two enemies. But they were too occupied to be an i'm mediate menace. Felix Craft was sit ting on the floor, cawing at his eye: and swearing continuously. Tip coughing and sneezing, was no swearing. Perhaps he had not suf ficient breath. At any rate, he Wal on his feet, arms spread wide, feel ing his way along toward the doc giving into the hall.
 Billy cat-footed up behind Tip an' snatched away his siX-shooter. Til spun round at the touch, but Bill. lodged away from the clutchinl hands.
 Bang. a revolver bullet cut but ton from his vest and tucked into tn wall at his elbow. Billy's suddel movement had saved his life. H
 eaped back another two yards t
