Arreoted at Foster.
Plorco Leader : A session of court
was hold In the office of Justice of the
Pence Lewis P. Cox In the little village
of Foster at midnight last Thursday ,
nt the conclusion of which that magis
trate drawled out , "Tweuly-uoven and
costs. "
The defendants were those traders
who were hanging around Pierce last
week. Not having the "nerve" to try
to steal anything around hero , they
moved on toward Foster. On their
way , however , they stopped at the
homo of Richard Rahl , seven miles
northwest of here. Discovering that
the husband was not at home , they
took advantage of his defenseless wife ,
who was all alone , and compelled her
to supply them with all the eggs on
the farm , which wore seven or eight
dozens , as well as with a liberal quan
tity of butter and other groceries.
Without even thanking her , they
moved on , going toward Foster. Upon
Mr. Rahl coming homo In the evening
Lo was told what had occurred. Los
ing no time ho proceeded to Foster and
told his story to Justice J. P. Cox , who
In turn telephoned the county sheriff
at Pierce , who was not at home. Ho
then notified County Attorney Stewart ,
who , after deputizing G , W. Goff , Vic
Peterson and John Walker , proceeded
after the horse traders , armed to the
teeth. This was about 10 o'clock
:
Thursday night. But first they went
before Justice Cox and had the neces
sary papers made out. Part of thorn
then went out Into the darkness in
search of the criminals. Their efforts
wore finally rewarded. There In a
lonely swamp and about two miles
west of Foster were their men. It was
quite dark and no sound was heard
save that of an occasional croak from
a bullfrog. Without much hesitation
the Plorco deputies pounced down
upon the robbers and placed thorn un
der arrest. They were then led Into
Justice Cox's office at Foster. The
county attorney then diagnosed the
case and submitted It to his honor ,
who thought there was sufficient evi
dence to convict , and drawled out ,
"Twenty-seven and costs. " It was
paid.

How That $1,000 Came to Be Bet.
H. F. Slaughter "Hank" Slaughter
of Gregory , was In town last night.
Hank's the man who offered to bet
Dallas $1,000 that Gregory could beat
Dallas In n series of ten ball games.
Dallas live ones called the wager and
Hank put up the $1,000.
That's how It happened that Dallas
and Gregory are now playing their big-
prize series. E. A. Jackson of Dallas
took $600 of the hot nnd five others
took $100 apiece. Hank went back to
Gregory and told the town. Ho kept
half the bet and other fans covered
$500 of It.
Its' the biggest baseball wager on

and Gregory have been playing mighty
close together all summer both put
ting up a high grade commodity , nnd
the bet appeared to bo nn even break
at the outset.
Next Week Great for Baseball.
Next week Gregory and Dallas play
at Bonesteel , at the Gregory county
fair , on Thursday and Friday. On
Friday and Saturday Norfolk and
Gregory play at Butte. And on Sun
day it Is now thought all three Dal
las , Gregory and Norfolk will play at
Gregory. It Is planned that Dallas and
Gregory shall play , and Norfolk will
play the winner.
The betting on the two games at
Butte between Norfolk nnd Gregory
is that Gregory will or will not win
both games. Norfolk will play at the
Madison county fair on Thursday , goIng -
Ing to the Boyd county fair at Butte
on Friday. Gregory plays Dallas at
Bonesteel at 1 o'clock Friday and then
goes to Butte to play Norfolk at 4
o'clock the same day.
It Is now possible that Norfolk nnd
Gregory may play a game at Plain-
view next Tuesday.

Ruling Favors Homesteaders.
Lamro , S. D. , Sept. 17. Ever since
a tract of nearly 1,000,000 acres of
land formerly belonging to the Rose
bud Indian reservation In Trlpp
county was opened to white settle
ment there has been the most bitter
feeling between the homesteaders
and white owners of cattle who had
been grazing their herds of cattle on
the land , In accordance with agree
ments entered Into with the Indians ,
with the consent of the Indian bureau
officials at Washington. The settlers
have steadily maintained that the
herds had no right on the ceded
Innds , nnd this view now has been
confirmed by the authorities of the
Interior department , who hold that all
grazing leases in the ceded portion of
Trlpp county expired in June of last
year , and that the cattlemen who
have agreements with the Indians
have had no rights In the ceded portion
tion of Trlpp county since that time.
In view of this , If the cattlemen con
tinue to disregard the right's of the
homesteaders by permitting their cat
tle to continue to roam over the ceded
lands , they will be declared common
trespassers nnd will be prosecuted
under the laws of South Dakota.

Notice.
To the Citizens of Norfolk : You
are Invited to co-operate with the of
ficials of the municipality to clean up
all streets , alleys , vacant lots , business
places and home promises.
A clean city means loss sickness nnd
n lower death rate. Rats , ( lies and In
sects feed on and breed In garbage and
rubbish and as the former carry dis
ease , the danger from them Is les
sened by eliminating their food supply
and breeding places. Last month there
were ninety cases of the plague in
Canton , Ohio , with seventy deaths.
This disease Is carried by the rat lloa ,
and the rats In Norfolk could become
lnfect ° d as easily as those of any other
city. There are twenty-six varieties of
files that frequent sewerage and hu
man food and carry typhoid and other
diseases. Earth closets should , there
fore , be treated with quicklime and
screened , and all manure removed
weekly during fly season. Please do
not , for this reason , throw waste from
the table or kitchen upon the open
alley , but In a screened box.

City Physician.
