Velder, manager of the O’Neill-Winner bus line, was arrest ed at Winner Tuesday for carrying passengers in his bus between points in South Dakota. The complaining witness was George Bailey of Win ner, who operates a bus line between Winner and Bonesteel and the com plaint was based on a South Dakota statute requiring bus line operators to have permits from the state to carry passengers between points within the state. The necessary per mit was applied for by Mr. Velder more than three months ago, since which time he has carried passengers between South Dakota points. Al though Velder has complied with all the requirements preliminary to the granting of a permit no attention has been paid to his application by the state authorities. He has appealed the case and will fight it through the South Dakota higher courts, contend ing that the permit has been with held at the behest of political influ ences behind the owner of the Win ner-Bonesteel bus line. In support of this contention he points out that the South Dakota authorities have not interfered with him in hauling passengers between South Dakota points until he began accepting pas sengers between Winner and Bone steel, thus coming in competition with the other line. The action against Velder in no way interferes with his transporting passengers, freight or express between South Dakota and Nebraska points, this being inter state commerce under the sole juris diction of the federal authorities.* Mr. and Mrs. II.

Emmet Doyle collected a couple oi bucks from the boys Tuesday on a wager that he could throw and drive a golf ball from the intersection oi Fourth and Douglas streets to the golf course in nipe throws and twc drives. His first throw landed by the Roberts livery barn, the second or the vacant lot just east of the S. F McNichols residence, the third just south of the M. H. McCarthy resi dence. Here he took the first drive which brought him to the vacant lots east of Dr. Gilligan’s residence, from which place he progressed on up the hill to in front of the Jap Ritts resi dence, where he made the second drive, which collided with the barn and landed in the clear. He landed on the course twent; feet within the fence and near the eighth hole on his ninth and last throw. Then, on in spection Mr. Doyle discovered that he had been using a dead ball. The score might have been lowered by one throw and one drive had the ball been a live one. Since Mr. Doyle’s stunt several of the expert golfers have ex pressed the belief that they can start at the same intersection and make the golf course in six shots, while others have offered to bet that they cannot. Residents along the route are advised to keep the screens on their windows until this argument has been settled. C. A.
