SWAMP SURVEY !$
IS COMPLETED
Work Has Been Under Way Since
Last September by Survey
or Ralph.
The topographical survey of
the state swamp lands which has
been in the course of develop
ment since the 1st of September
when the first crew of surveyors
started at the work, has been
completed, the crews which have
been working in the eastern part
of the state finishing their work
yesterday.
The work was started with
Engineer Abercrombie and Ralph
in charge, but when the cold
weather set in the former with
drew and G. A. Ralph of Crooks
ton was placed in entire charge
of the work throughout the state.
The suryey covers all of the
state swamp lands, and as the
work is completed, the matter
of compiling reports will be the
main work from now on. Half of
the ground has been covered in
the reports which will be of the
greatest value for the future
work. The work that has been
carried on this winter is merely
preliminary to that which is de
sired to be accomplished, that of
draining the state lands.
When funds have been appro
priated for this work there will
be the greatest rejoicing among
the champions of the great cause
throughout the state, as the value
of lands will then be raised many
fold in the affected sections.

CITY WOULD MAKE ALCOHOL.
New Plan for Disposal of Garbage
Talked in Sioux City.
Sioux City, la., June 8.The city
council of Sioux City is considering a
plan whereby denatured alcohol may
be manufactured from the city garbage.
Chemists say that garbage when prop
erly treated makes the best possible
wood alcohol and it is their intention,
if the plan is practicable, to establish
an incinerating plant and furnish it
with the appliances for carrying on
the manufacture of the alcohol to be
used as fuel to operate the plant itself
anQ the city waterworks.

August Rochany, a farmer liv
ing in the town of Frohn, was in
justice court yesterday afternoon
before Judge Pendergast on a
serious charge, and was fined $40
and costs amounting to $10 and
was forced to deed forty acres of
land to a grand-daughter of his
step-father, who was implicated
in the case.
The man was brought to just
ice through the efforts of County
Attorney E. E. McDonald. It
appears from the evidence that
Rochany brought the girl, who
is but 24 years old, over from
Germany three years ago and
has has kept her at his home
since. The man's wife is in an
insane asylum and the young
girl acted as housekeeper.
A good home in this city where
she can work for her liying has
been found for the girl.
The penalty imposed is the
severest allowed by the law.

Assault Charge by Sister in
&*5 law, Mrs. Smith.

Charles Begiman of Houpt, with
using violence in attempting to
gain possession of a little niece,
was tried before Judge Pender^

It is alleged that Begiman

child from Mrs. Smith and that
on both occasions he laid hands
with intent to assault on his
sister-in-law. He denies that he
did more than to merely put his
hands on the child in an effort to
lift it out of Mrs. Smith's arms.
County Attorney E. E. McDon
ald conducted the case for the
state, while Charles W. Scrut
chin represented the defense.

periments while at college?"

his 'scientific paradox.'"
