RAPID CITY, S. D., May 3O.-tSpecial)-
AT the Pine Ridge agency a number Of squaw
men recently had a roundup of cattle, about
LOCO in number. which had strayed from
their own ranges during the storms last
winter. These men demand from the owners
of the cattle 81 per head for their release,
as they say there is law to the effect that
any stray cattle found on the reservation
may be held until fine Of 81 a head shall
be paid by the owners. The owners of these
stray cattle in question are indignant and
refuse to pay the fine until the law is thor
oughly investigated. Senator Kyle has re-
ceived a telegram from Secretary Stewart
of the Western South Dakota Stock Grow
ers association asking that this matter be
placed in proper hands. 1t is probable the
cattle will be returned to their owners with
