Jubilant Huron Aldermen.

Aldermen Jarvis, Thomas, Smith and
Grove of Huron, upon whom Judge Camp
bell pronounced sentence of 500 fine or
thirty days in jail for contempt OF court, and
from which appeal to the supreme court
was taken, are much delighted with the
ruling of the court on the bill Of eXcep-
tons as presented by the defendants, and
writ of probable cause VIII issue, thus
bringing the whole case on review before
the supreme court on its merits, at which
time the case will be considered and tinal
decision rendered. In case the supreme
court holds that the action of Judge
Campbell was legal the defendants Will
probably not be required to spend any
lime IN Jail, as under the decision in the
Taylor case the sentence runs from the
time Judgment is pronounced. and AS the
sentence was for only thirty days their

Will Depend on Wind.

Stockmen west of the Missouri River
propose to engage quite extensively dur
ing the coming season in windmill irrlga-
ton. 1t has not yet been demonstrated
that the artesian basin extends to any
great distance under the ceded Sioux
lands, and until someone is found with
sufficient enterprise to make the necessary
experiment, which would undoubtedly be
a costly one, dependence will be placed
wholly in windmills. A. Brake, one Of
the stockmen, has just completed erecting
IA large windmill on his ranch, and will
next year irrigate about twenty-five acres
of land. George Dunkle, whose ranch is
near WeStOver, will erect four windmills,
and proposes to irrigate his entire ranch
of 800 acres. John Brown, another
cattleman living near Westover, IS now
working on a large .irrigating plant of his
own.

Had Redskins Arrested,

The intention Of the federal authorities
to prosecute all Indians guilty of adultery
and kindred crimes has resulted already
in several important arrests beng made.
The most important Of these is the arrest
of Plenty Horses. This is the young
Sioux who killed Lieut.. Casey during the
uprising at Pine Ridge in 1890. Plenty
Horses was acquitted after a long and
holly fought trial.
9tBig Thunder has also been taken into
custody on the charge OF rape. lie is a
Pine Ridge Sioux of considerable proml-
nence This crime, when committed on
an Indian reservation, is punishable with
death. Several other young Indians are
being held OH charges of this kind. This
new move OH the part of tho Government
has created CONSERVATION among the reds.
Heretofore these crimes have never Teen
noticed unless accompanied by a killing
or something OF that kind. The Indians
take the innovation as an injustice.
