SEEK TO AVERT
CAR SHORTAGE
RAILWAY AND BUSINESS INTER
ESTS UNITE TO EXPEDITE
GRAIN SHIPMENTS.

Chamberlain, Aug. 25-W With tens
of millions of bushels of grain and
other products about ready for ship
ment from South Dakota, shippers
and receivers of freight in the state
are being appealed to by the rail-
roads to hasten the unloading of in
coming cars of freight so the cars
may be promptly released for use
in shipping grain.
BY these and other efforts it is
hoped to avert a serious car short
age, which would prove disastrous TO
the farmers of South Dakota, whose
general financial condition is such
that they must ship their grain prod
ucts to market at the earliest possi-
BILE date in order to obtain the cash
which they SO sorely need for taking
care of pressing financial obliga-
tions.
Wherever grain cars are involved
the appeal is made particularly urg-
ent, because every grain car is need
ed at once for handling the crops of
the different localities. The legal
demurrage timsA is 48 hours in
in which to unload car.
In the present campaign launched
by the railway and business inter
ests it is urged that this time be re-
duced to "a hours If possible, aud
to unload within 40 hours If 1t can
be done. 1t is believed a reform in
this respect would do great things
in providing more cars for the
handling of the grain crops.
At Eureka, in northern South Da-
kota, the business men and clerks
have organized a club, the purpose
of which is for the members to get
ION the job" at the Eureka railway
depot each evening and assist in un-
loading freight cars so the same cars
can be reloaded with grain for ship
ment to the big eastern terminal
markets.
Country elevators are being urged
to unload their cars at night. thus
saving IL hours time on each car
and making them available that
much earlier for grain shipments.
Every possible plan is being
pushed to prevent a serious grain
car shortage,

Threshing Returns i'm

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 25--Threshing

for the week ending August ~,
made public today by John w. Haw.
county agent leader Wheat is yield
ing 10 35 bushels per acre with
returns running nearer the top fig
ure in the north and northwest
parts of the state High quality is
an outstanding factor.
oPtato indications remain patchy

Wealthy apples are the most suit

found after years of experimenting

ten days later, are among the lead

CONV|CTS SEEN
IN NEBRASKA
STEAL ANOTHER CAR AND MAY
Bf TRYING TO REENTER
SOUTH DAKOTA.

Bristow, Neb., Aug. 25-Authori-
ties here believe that Henry Coffee,
negro convict, has been murdered by
his three companions who escaped
from the South Dakota penitentiary
a week ago.
that only three of rae escaped men
were seen this morning passing
through the village in a stolen Ford
car Forman, King and Teal Cof-
fee for the first time being absent.
The murder theory is further
born out when it became known that
Coffee was nearly captured day
ago while crossing the Missouri riv-
er and also because the three fugi-
tives realized that the mans color
will make him easy of Identification
and might lead to their capture.
Another chapter to the murder
theory was also unfolded when it
became known that bad blood" eX-
listed between King and the negro.
The scene of the pursuit shifted
to Bristow and west along towards
Butte, Neb., when it became known
that the convicts had stolen Ford

tails of men have been thrown
around all probable crossings
There was nothing in the entire
