Requisition Papers Granted.
The Three Hadar bank robbery sus
pects , James Martman , alias James
Morrison ; James Rlloy and Harry
Joyce , are now held In Sioux City by
Sheriff 13. A. Dwyer of Pierce county
on requisition papers issued by Gov
ernor Shallonberger of Nebraska anil
honored by Governor Carroll of Iowa
Sheriff Dwyer , however , is prevented
from bringing his men to Nebraskn
at this time on the executive warrant
Issued by Governor Carroll on account
of habeas corpus proceedings brought
in. the district court at Sioux City by
the attorney for the alleged robbers
There will have to be a hearing In
the district court before the suspects
can be brought over the state lino.
Sioux City police circles are stirred
over the charges growing out of the
difficulty experienced by the Pierce
county officers , Sheriff Dwyer and
County Attorney Stewart , in getting
the Hadar suspects. The whole af
fair is a repetition of the trouble ex
perienced by Detective Malone of Lin
coln recently when he went to secure
the Miller & Paine robbers.
Sheriff Dlnecn of the Sioux City
force says that the state laws need
fixing , that the extradition statutes
are a joke and that the police arc
wrongly blamed.
Police Judge Page of Sioux City
however , was up in arms when he
read the Stewart Interview given out
in Dos Molnes. He roundly de
nounced the Nebraska attorney foi
"not keeping faith" in that he had
sought requisition papers from the
Iowa governor instead of coming tc
Sioux City Saturday for the prelimin
ary in Page's court. Page warned the
attorney for the suspects that the Ne
braska men might try to spirit the 5
three prisoners away on the requisi
tion papers.

Spring Poem.
Walt Mason In Emporla ( Kan. ) Gazette
zetto : I dread the coming of thu
spring when ( lowers bloom and robins
sing , and lamklns gambol on the loa
the Winter's good enough for me. I
hate to think of planting seeds , and
illgglng dirt and pulling weeds , and
getting up at break of dawn to chase
the cattle off the lawn. Of course the
birds are mighty sweet , and budding
trees can not be beat , and growing
things are nice enough , and vernal
breezes are the stuff ; but I have al
ways found It true that there's so
iloggoned much to do , a fellow has no
time to note the charming things the
poets quote.
Kansas Day.
Walt Mason : I have heard the
voice of Kansas , singing on her na
tal day ; I have heard her gentle
whisper , and she blow my hat away ;
and she picked mo up and rolled me
eater-corner through the town , and
she piled some sidewalk on me ,
hoping it would hold mo down. She
is singing , gentle Kansas , a melod
ious refrain ; you may hear her dulcet
warblings in the chimney , at the
pane ; you may sec the haystacks
flying in the other overhead ; you
may know It is her birthday , you may
watch her paint things red. Kansas ,
Kansas , gentle mother , I am glad
you feel so gay , glad to see you up a-
coming on this festive natal day ; but
the way you're raising thunder causes
an observant gent , to suspect that
you've been fooling with a jug of two
per cent !
Mason's Grief.
Walt Mason in the Emporla Gazette :
I'd sing you a song about childhood
life's joyous and garlanded time ; but
I'm weary of ringing In "wlldwood,1
and there's no other word that wll
rhyme. I'd warble of bright , sunn >
fountains , where water and music are
blent : but I'd have to lug in a few
mountains , or my lines wouldn't lit
worth a cent. I'd sing of a life on the
billows , where the dolphins and flyliif ,
fish race , but I'd have to say some
thing of willows , which would have
nothing to do with the case. I'd sing
of the moonbeams that quiver , like
gems on the water at night ; but I't
have to quote onions and liver , to
make the verso twitter all right.

to The News : A pretty fair index of
the wealth of a county Is to bo found
each spring in the advertised public
sales of those who arc preparing to i
change farm locations. Much has
been said and written about the won
derful advancement made by Greg
ory county since the reservation was
thrown open to settlement. While it
Is true that possibly 50,000 acres of
land Is still unoccupied In this county ,
and will bo thrown upon the market
at the land office at Gregory March
25 , to the highest cash bidder still the
Improved farms arc subject of much
comment by easterners who visit this
section. Instead of long years elapsing
before farm lands are converted from
the raw pralrlo to the state of highest
development , hero in Gregory county
the brief span of four years has been
this remarkable development a
reality.
Not only Is the soil producing big
reps , but the permanent Improve

Intent on making beautiful homes. To
keep up with other pursuits , the rais
ing of cattle , horses and hogs has
taken front rank. Every farmer has
made "a stint" and not only IH that
start noticeable as ( o numbers , but
the strains are also an eye opener.
Pedigreed and registered slock holds
sawy over the old ( line "any old mil-
mal" of domestic raising.
The amount of stock liong : otrored
for sale under the auclloneor's ham

our farmers will size up well with
those of oldest and more matured
sections where stock iiilslng has come
to be ono of the principal Industries.

In as many days and here Is the num
ber of animals these seven farmers
are offering for sale horses , 5)5 ) ; cat-
tie , 201 , and hogs 230. As this Is a
list of only seven sales , by ono auc
tioneer , and as there are no less than
a half do/en "criers" In the county
who have dally bookings extending
well Into March , It will be seen that
Gregory county , the Infant In South
Dakota , Is a full grown when pros
perity and push Is brought Into the
limelight.
Money , too , Is plenty. It would
seem , as your representative was
talking regarding a sale hold near
Burke recently that netted about $2-
fiUO , when the statement was made
that of the entire amount of bids re
ceived , only $ lfi was taken In bank
able paper as payment for purchases
the balance was cash.
