I S me Oaliforn'a man w:th a taste

tbe world half a mile wide. The

con 'emns this estimate as too mod

would roaice a strip 00 feet wde

Thk o'ive oil of trade is a very un
certain element. In most countries
it is impos-iole for the buyer t. be j
certain of obtaining it in a purestate.
and in eruiany tbe genuine oil is,
pra 'tically, not to be found- In con-1
sequence the Germans have for many ;
ytars relied on the oil of be ch nuts
as a substitute. It is found, how
ever, that the seed of the linden tree
Is even better suited than the beech
for tbe production of oil, and a steady
demand for it has set in The linden
seed produces 5S per cent of ol', as
against the 22.77 per cent of the
U-ech nut, and the quality is better.
The oil is said to have a peculiarly
fine flavor, free from all bitter or aro
matic taste; it does not evaporate or
become rancid, his no tendency to
oxygenate, and will stand a tempera
tu e of three degrees lielow ero
(Fahrenheit) without change. It
can be manufacted very cheaply, as
the collecting and press! g of the
seeds constitutes t only dpeuse of
production.
U n KoitiTN ate is the man who is
robbed, especially in routh Dakota.
There Is no rea pleasure in being
robbed in any other State, but in
South Dakota it seems to be a in re
serious matter than elsewhere.
Thomas Uuckley was robbed at Dead
wood by J. C. Cook, and now he s in
jail at Deadwood with J. C t ook.
They had been friends, and possibly
the author. ties thought it was a
shame to part them. At any rate
t ey put C ook under bonds for roli
bing and did the same with Buckley
for being robterl. As neither couid
furnish the bonds both went to jail.
The authorities said they were afraid
IiU' kley might get awav. Of course,
this plan has its advantages. While
it may not decrease robbe ics, it is
likely to decrease comp'ainU of them.
Tbe records will show a splendid
state of awaits from one viewpoint:
but It wi I be apparent to even the
most casual observer, nevertheless,
that doubly unfortunate Is the man
who is robbeJ In South Dakota.

that not mare than four men, and
probably only three were concerned in
the hold-up. Two are now under arrest
and the third, it is exected, will be
caught within a short time.
Scarcey, who led the authorities to
the cached booty, made a partial con
