Raymond Stewart, here on a charge rf
taking liquor on to the reservation, but the
important part Of our business here and that
which caused me to come is entirely apart
from the Indian and for good reasons prefer
that it be kept quiet until Monday. Mr..
Matthicson brought up with him from Valen-
tine, Nebraska, John G. Little, for four terms
sheriff Of Cherry county, Nebraska, and after
getting him here arrested and placed him in
Jail on charge Of cattle stealing. The par
ticular charge preferred against him is the
stealing last February OF seventy-two head Of
cattle from the Slaven herd on the Rosebud
reservation. They were driven to the rail
road, shipped to Chicago and sold. S!aven,
the Kansas City contractor to supply the

INVESTIGATE THE OIL.

The Deadwood Independent yesterday
stated that the Consolidated Tank Line
company had refused to sell certain mer
chants OF that city any more oil unit
they would agree to charge the price sci
by the company. The merchants had
| been selling five gallons fora dollar which
| they claimed gave them u good profit.
/ On investigating the matter in this
city today several interesting Facts were
| obtained. One is that the Consolidated
Tank Line company, which Is simply Il
department OF the Standard Oil com
pany, claims tine right to regulate the
price OF oil and in stating that fact tells
the retailers that if they do not charge
the price fixed they will not be furnished
OIL as all OF the grocery, hardware and
general stores mus, AS IL business meas
ure, handle oil for the con|enicnce OF
their patrons they are Obliged to at
least tacitly agree to the terms offered
| 1t is needless to say that the company
| mentioned has IL practical monopoly Of
the furnishing OF oil to retailers a., IL
matter OF fact some OF the Rapid City
| merchants nave been and are quietly
selling oil at five cents per gallon less
than the price fixed by the company
and claim that they are then making a
very fair profit, not only this but that
| the price could be still further reduced
and leaye them IL prolt,
| Another fact obtained is that the oil
furnished to the Black Hills towns is uf
Il very inferior quality. Wiletner as Il
result OF Rapid City having within the
past two years become III II measure III
dependent OF the oil company, owing to
the establishment oi the incandescrnt
electric light system and the gas works
which combined caused IL great decrease
III the use OF oil, is not known, but il is
Il TACT that the oil furnished Rapid City
IS superior to that furnished Dcadwood
and other towns OF the Iii Is. But even
ths; Rapid City oil is not up to the proof
or test required by insurinres compan-
les and by the laws governing the use
OF oil.
Another fact which many are lc-
quaintcd with Is that oil is from 21U to
800 per cent hIglIrr in the Black Hills
than III the eastern or middle central
states. For example good oil up to test
is sold ltretail in Illinois for ten and
twelve cents a gallon. Inferior OIL not
up to test. is sold in the Black Hills Tor
twenty-five and thirty cents IA gallon.
Does it cost fifteen to twenty cents to
haul Il gallon 0! oil by railroad Yrnm
Chicago to Rapid City? And, when
charging an extra price, shonld there not
be some means Of compelling the Stan
iald Oh company by its agent, the Con
solldated Tank Line company, to fui-
nisl us good III oil as it sells for less
price III the eastern states
