RESTLESS AT PINE RIDGE.
Indians May Cause Trouble THIS Coming
AprIMK.


spring.
Dr.. Y. r. McGILLIcUDpy OF Rapid
City, well known his one OF the best
posted men In the country on Indian
matters, in an interview said:
II don't wish to pose as an aiarmist.
bus the situation at Pine Ridge is not
at oil satisfactory just a. present. and
there Is 10 immediate prospect OF its
improving. The Indians ..arc suilen,
and in many ways show u resentful
feeling, and unless something is done
to couuteract this there Is danger OF
trouble next spring. The messiah spirit
is not dead, and the whites must not
depend on the statement that the In.
dians are no longer considering tho
promises made by Sitting Bull and
other medicine men who led the trou BILE
two years ago
''Nhle there is no open dancing
there Is quite a discussion on tn. sub
ject. and the fact that the promise was
that tAe messiah would come alter two
springs, which would bring the time in
the spring OF 1888, IL being care'ul ly
kept in mind by the Indians The
government recently paid the Indians
at Pine Ridge Ss5, 900 and that Is used
as an argument that the Great Father
fears tho red sons, else, why should he
seek tn buy them of. Then the return
from Fort Sheridan of Short Kull and
Kicking Bear has added another dis
turbing element to the already deeply
stirred state OF affairs At Fine Ridge.
1.-The most siyniiicent thing Is the
fact that there have been communica-
tions between the various tribes of
secret and apparently important ma
ture during the summer. There Is .
line Of communication we'll established
and constantly used between Indian
Territory and British America, and tho
Indians all along the line understand
each other"

that State, which provides for the elec-

The Movements or Grain.

TBERE appears to be an almost stimuli.
taneous movement OF grain In oil parts
OF the state. Ten days ago everything
Indicated that shipping would be light
until prices advanced. Three days
later grain began pouring into all sta
tions on the various lines OF railroad,
aud soon elevators were filled, and in
some instances buying ceased. De-
mands for cars could not be filled and
as . result perfect clamor was made
upon the Railway Commission for re-
lief. Chairman Rice says that of requi-
sitioDs for over one thousand cars, less
than three hundred had been supplied.
These were sent TO the most needy
points. This condition OF affairs Is rs
surprising as 1t Is annoying so early in
the season. The commission Is doing
everything possible to meet the de-
mands OF shippers and, aided by the
railway officials, they hope to prevent
o duplicate OF last seasons annoving
experiences.

TIE national banks OF Aberdeen have
won their suits against the county,
which we're brought In Circuit Court
In the case of the Aberdeen National,
1t was shown that the assessor for the
year 1901, assessed the shares OF stock
Of the bank at SCI, 1875, and that tho
County Hoard OF Eouxl,zation re.
assessed the said shares in the sum Of
3sd. $40. The court holds that the
board exceeded it vowess and author
ity In rs-assessing tho stock, and that
ils acts aLd doinga In the premises are
void, and the same are go aside and
held for naught. that the tax on the
shares OF stock of said plaintiff shall
not have been extended on q valuation
greater than the sum of ST.. 533, max
ing q tax OF Sl.0l947. and that oil IN
excess thereof IL illegal and void.
The case OF the First National Bank
was Identical in character with the one
