Wayside Notes in Sioux City Jour
nal, 11: At the historic old city of
Yankton, dwells Capt. Giesler, steam
boater, and pontoon bridge builder
anil conductor. Giesler knows the
fickle old Muddy like a book, and
from time to time interprets its
whims and caprices for the scribe,
Arthur Westhorpe, who sets them
down in racy English to delight the
hearts of readers. Glesier is about
the only living man who dares to look
the Missouri straight in the eye, or
who dares to grapple with it when
it is like an angry bull. His mind
is rich with tales of other days along
the vast stream, when swearing river
captains and pilots were thicker than
they are now. When its ice groans
in springtime, he can explain the
meaning of the sound, and he can
tell by the morning capers of the
sand on the bars how the wind is
most likely to conduct itself. In
summer, after the breakup, Giesler
mans a steam ferry to carry Ncbras
hans Dakotawards and Pakotans Ne-
braskawards. This is a useful serv
ice, and from it Geisler wins his de
served bread and butter. Sometimes
owing to the everchanging habits of
the channel, Giesler gives his passen
gers quite extended excursions before
he lands them at the desired port.
When the spring floods break loose,
When the spring Hoods break loose,
cigar, and has a short vacation, but
riot always, for sometimes the smash
up is as sudden, almost, as a clap of
thunder from a clear sky, and the
captain must drag his pontoon from
tho snarling crystal teeth or it will
be carried on the rushing tides to
tho awaiting gulf. Capt. Giesler is
known far and wide, for many travel
ers have? at one time or another, been
his temporary guests, ttusting them
selves and their loved ones to his
care, when old Muddy would claim
them in a twinkle.

Sioux City Journal, 13: Ono man
was shot and five others held up and
robbed as a result of activities of
two young unidentified robbers who
operated in tho vicinity of the rail
road tracks between tho Burlington
roundhouse and Crystal lake, at South
Sioux City, at 9 o'clock last evening.
Tho dead man was not identified.
According to participants there were
two holdups. The first occurred
shortly before 9 o'clock. A party of
five men, two of them railroad em
ployes and threo workmen at the
Consumers' Ico house at Crystal lake,
came on tho holdups just after they
had shot their first victim. "We were
coming down tho track from tho
roundhouso when wo heard a shot,"
Ralph Meecham, Ice worker at Crys
tal lake, said. "Along tho track
midway between tho roundhouse and
and the lako two men sprang up, one
from each sido of tho track. One
had two guns and tho other one. Tho
one with two guns, who wore a sold
ier's overcoat, said to us 'throw up
your hands.' At first wo thbught
they were joking and didn't at once
comply. One of the men shoved his
gun against ono of our men and wo
i knew they moant business." Accord
ing to Meecham, who was accompan
ied by four others, a freight train
was coming along. Perceiving this
the robbers communded tho men to
walk to the side of tho track and lie
prone on tho grass, which they did.

iThe robbers did likewise. After tho
freight passed they were told to get
up. Then tho one with tho single
gun turned his pistol over to his
partner and proceeded to search the
nien. "We could hear a man groan
ing," Meecham said. "He must jiavo
been close for the croans were dis
tinct." Shortly after tho man was

across country in the direction of
South Sioux City. Tho two robbew
disappeared across a field on tho west
side of tho tracks. County Attorney
George Learner and Deputy Sheriff J.
P. Rockwell, of Dakota City, investi
gated the shooting. Tho body of
tho man who, apparently, had been
shot a few minutes before the second
holdup, was taken in charge. Thero
was no personal possessions to identi
fy him. Five riflo bullets of 32-20
caliber were found in ono of his
pockets. Ho wore overalls, a leather
jilmper and a tweed cap. Tho fatal
bullet, entered tho forehead at tho
right temple and lodged jn the brain,
investigation of tho body disclosed.
He was described as being 23 years
of age, 5 feet 3 inches tall, and had
blue eyes and black hair. On his
right arm a picture of two bathing
girls was tattooed, and on his left .in
American eagle, a flag and a picturo
of a sailing vessel His cap contain
ed a Fargo, N. D trademark. The
body was removed to tho Westcott
undertaking parlors of this city.
Burial will be postponed ponding a
cortmor's investigation. Tho body
will bo on exhibition at tho Sioux
Cijty undertaking shop in tho hope
that it will be identified. It was
thought that tho man was probably
an Ico worker at tho Consumers' ice
plnnt at Crystal lake.
Purebred Dairy Sires.
Every dairy herd, regardless of its
quality or bleeding, should havo a
good purebred dairy bull at its head,
says the U. S. Department of Agri
culture. This applies to all scrub
and grade herds as well as to hcrda
of better breeding. The daughters
of a scrub cow and a good purebred
dairy sire are only grades, but often
their production records aro double
the records of their dams. If thoso
daughters aro then bred to first-class
purebred dairy bulls of tho same
breed, the granddaughters may bo
come high grades of largo production.
In this way each generation may
climb to high and still higher levels.

Farm Bureau Field-Notes
C. R. Yountr, County Agent
Each week brings several enquir
ies relative to who shall havir their
cows tested for tuberculosis in con
farmity with tho now state dairy
law. To assist tho many who may
desire information on this subject I
am giving herewith two paragraphs
of a letter from Secretary LcoStuhr
of tho state department of agricul
ture: "A new dairy law was passed at
tho last session of tho Legislature
and became effective July 18, 1919.
Ono of tho provisions of this law re
quires dealers in milk and cream to
obtain an annual license from the
department of agriculture in all
cases whero tho product, in wholo or
in part, is sold to be consumed as
milk or cream, when produced from
a herd consisting of more than five
cows. Thoso who sell milk or cream
which is tho product of a herd of
five cows or less, and thoso who sell
milk and cream produced from any
number of cows when tho entire pro
duct is sold for manufacturing pur
poses exclusively, aro exomptedfrom
this provision. Tho fco for this li
cense is ono dollar ($1.00) and all li
censes expire on July 1st of each
year."
"The law also provides that no milk
shall bo sold" which has TJeen taken
(a) from any animal having any dis
ease or sickness, (b) from any anlnvil
which has not been examined by a
duly licensed veterinarian, and certi
fied by him to bo free from disease,
within not to exceed out year pre
viously. Milk which has "been taken
from any animal which has not been
examined by licensed veterinarian,
must bo pasteurized before it is of
fered for sale. This latter provision
applies to tho salo of milk and cream
regardless of tho size of the herd
Temv. .t.l.tnl. 14- la HitniliiAnil iitttAMAilnii
jui" rr.. IV to 'tvuv.t,v., niliivvui
tho product is sold to bo consumed
a3 milk and cream."
February 1st, 1920, has been set as
the dato when all cows coming under
this law must bo tested. It will
groatly reduce tho. cost of doimr the
work if a number of men will bunch
their cows on ono farm.
