Cattle Thieves.

In localities where stock raising is
the main industry, as on the ranges
west of the river, there is great deal
of cattle stealing. These thieves have
been given the name OF "cattle rust
lers, " and make a regular business OF
stealing cattle. 1t appears that this
section has become enough OF a stock
country to start "rustlers" to work,
as reports come from both north
west and south west Hand county OF
cattla stolen within thepast few days.
Sheriff Strut has been on the look
out for men in Hand county, and it
is understood the Faux county sher
iff arrested some men at Orient last
week. Cattle stealing is considered
to be easier here than on the reserva-
ton. because the stock business is
not so systematically conducted, but
a few rustlers sent to the pen will
stop it.

A Peculiar Election Tanele.

aHfs
Chamberlain, S. D., Nov. 19.-The re-
cent election in one Of the commissioner
districts of Lyman county has brought
to light a peculiar state of affairs. The
auditor issued the call for The election
and printed it in the official paper, but
gave Tuesday, the 18th inst, as the day
the election was to be held. This call
was published with the incorrect date
for two weeks, and In the third publ
cation was changed to November 5, the
correct date. The voters believed the
18th was the correct date, and after the
date vas changed there was not suffi-
cient time as provided by law to make
party nominations and file certificates
OF nomination with the county auditor.
Therefore on election day the voters
simply wrote the names of their prefer
ence on the ballots, and according to
the unofficial count G. s. Grant was
elected by a majority of five votes. The
county auditor. the chairman and one
other member of the county board aft
"a met to canvass the vote as the
law provides. They held that as no
nominations were certified to the coun-
ty auditor, there was no election, and
refused to the vote. They.
however, allowed the regular election
bills of those who were selected as
judges and clerks of election. and other
incidental expenses. The citizens of
the county maintain that the law re-
quires the v to be made regard
less Of what is written on the ballots.
as the canvassing board has no right to
open the ballot box or presume as to
how any ballot in the box was marked
or voted: that the question OF illegality
can only be passed upon by the court.
There is some talk of carrying the mat.
ter into court for settlement.

that at 6 O'Clock on the evening of Mo-
Iyember is, NJ. ~. Jewett, United States
consul at SiVas, sent a telegram to Unit
States Minister Terrell, informing
him that ine@ disturbances which had
taken place at Sivas. 500 Armenians and
ten Turks had been killed ard that ac-
cording to official reports a large body
of Kurds were then approaching the
town. Mr.. Jewett gave no details of tbs
disorders, but the discrepancy in the
figures show that the Turkish allega-
.ions, that the Armenians were the ag-
gressors are absolutely untrue n that
the Armenians were deliberately mas
sacred.
Minister Terrell has also received q
dispatch from Harpot, in the pashalik
of Diarbekir and sixty miles west north
west of the city of that name. The dis
patch is dated November Is and says
that the lives of the occupants of four
of the buildings burned at that
place were saved and the occu-
pants Of eight burned houses
persisted in the flames. The
remaining ISL were stripped OF

there are twelve, are situated within

cupied by twelve Armenian families and
500 theological students. A ladies' SEM
mary is also within the enclosure. A
dispatch from Mardin, in the pashalik
of Diarbekir, dated November 10. says
the Inhabitants of the villages burned
in that vicinity are in the direst need of
food and clothing and many are dying
from starvation and exposure.
1t is stated in dispatches from perfect

district of Gurunden, 1000 men. womer
and children have been killed and many
others are suffering from wound and
