Cattle Rustler Shot Dead.

Hot Springs, S. d. July lS.-John
Brown, a prominent stockman of
Sioux county, Nebraska, was shot
and killed by Robert Wallace Of this
county, near the state line today.
Wallace is said to be a detective in
the employ ct a large cattle corpor-
alton, and always went armed,
claiming his life was threatned.
That section of the country has
been noted for cattle rustling, and
it is charged that Brown acquired
stock more rapidly than was regul-
ar. The sheriff and coroner have
gone to the scene Of killing, which
is near] y fifty miles from here

After the Hay Crop.

According to a dispatch from
Chamberlain, this state, there is
considerable friction among stock
men on the Sioux lands near that
place in the scramble for the hay
crop. The stockmen in that region
were taught a severe lesson by their
failure to put up sufficient hay last
summer, and if next winter is as
hard as last they wish to be prepar-
ed for emergencies. Accordingly
they are putting up every pound of
hay available A great deal of this
hay is cut on government land or on
land belonging to homesteaders who
are temporarily out of the country,
and much strife exists forits posses
sion. "A few days ago Henry Dell, a
prominent stockman, was attacked
by four Russians while cutting hay
which they claimed. and it was with
difficulty that he escaped with his
life. Had he not been armed with
knife with which he struck savage
ly and repeatedly at his assailants,
cutting their clothes in shreds, he
might have been killed. The Rus
slams had been cutting hay on the
ground several days when stopped
by Dell, who claimed he had leased
it from it's former occupant, the
land having been filed on by home
steader. After being attacked by
the Russians, Dell had them arrest
ed, and they were fined nearly $50,
besides having to give up about
sixty tons of hay which they had
cut. In one locality in the neigh
borhood of 100 mowers are at worl-,
and the feeling between the stock
men is quite bitter. A slight mis-
understanding might precipitate a
serious difficulty at any time.

'TiS Ever Thus.

An Excellent Show,

Carlton & Lord s comedians de-
lighted Rapid City theater-goers
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day nights of this week. The com
pany is strong one and those who
make it up are strictly ladies and
gentlemen. A goodly array OF spe-
cial scenery is carried, which adds
much to the effectiveness Of the plays
presented by this aggregation. The
snecialties presented are exception
ally clean, bright and good and the
show is a good one from start to

mends this company to the people of
the Hills towns who care for really
me ecitorious productions. The show
is all right.

The tin plate makers wish to boorrqs

the canning industry and other in

OF cheap tin plate. Another blow
is struck at business by abolshina.~
the rebate on exported tin cans. Now
canned goods exported in cans made Of

with the protection system to tax hides.
especially as the bulk of the tax would
probably go to few monopoly butchers

the effects upon our industries: /,
The importations of untaxed hides
and skins last year were valued at S20,~
216,25S. The goatskins were valued s.w
$10,303,359. The former were mostlx
converted into sole leather, beltinss,
and such like heavy material, for which
our native hides are not thick enough.
The goatsllins are not produced in this
country.
From this raw material we not onlv
manufacture boots, shoes and leather
goods for our own people cheaper and
better than are made elsewhere in the
world, but we exported finished prod

ought to take the matter up at once
and put stop to it.
"What causes the poor home
steaders to feel outraged and angry Y
is the fact that the Indian police on
many occasions come over into
Nebraska on the sligest provocation
and arrest them without any war
rant and at the same time terroriz-
ing their wives and children, and
drag them over to the agency and
put them in the guard house and
make them stay certain lemgth of
time or pay fines.
|G.enerally they are required to lie
in prison, as they are all very poor
on the frontier and their wives and
children are obliged to look out for
themselves. Think of law abiding
citizens, some of whom are old be-
ing thus treated, 1t is shame and
a disgrace and there is no wonder
that these settlers, although peace
able and lawabidig, contemplate
taking matters in their own hands. -
1t is to be hoped that the authori-
ties Of both the state and nation will,
without delay, Investigate this mat
ter, and it is the earnest prayer of
these defenseless homesteaders that
their rights will be looked after and
that speedily, and not let them drag
along as such matters generally do.

Have a Kick Coming.

There is trouble brewing between
the settlers along the Dakota Ne
braska border and The government
officials, and arecent dispatch states
that unless the officers at Pine
Ridge agency are directed by the
Interior department to suspend
their warfare upon the settlers adj
joining the reservation on the south
in Sheridan county, trouble may be
looked for of a Sc rious nature. The
difficulty, it seems, all arose over a
misunderstanding as to who has
jurisdiction over strip of land five
miles vide and ten miles long lying
directly south and con ntiguous to the
Sioux reservation. This tract or
strip of land is under the jurisdic ton
OF the state Of Nebraska, as it was
included in the enabling act and the
state has never by any act since
that time ceded it to the United
States, and therefore at present is
under the jurisdiction Of Nebraska,
being a part of Sheridan county and
is under the civil authorities of that
county.
In 1881 President Arthur, by an
executive order, withdrew from
settlement a strip five miles wide
and ten miles long, which is this
tract for the reason that parties
run saloons and gambling houses
close to the line of the reservation
In order to prevent this the order
exempting this tract from settle
ment and making all persons going
thereon trespassers, was issued and
it has remained in that condition
since.
Now it seems the authorities at
Pine Ridge, presumably working
under orders of the interior depart
ment or under their own orders, ar
rest eve"y person caught on there
taking off dead timbers for their own
use and impounding all horses or
cattle found thereon.
One old settler says, ';This is a
great hardship upon the OLD settlers
who have all they can do to live
without being molested by their
servants who are dressed in bright
brass buttoned uniforms and stall
fed and well paid by the people, not
to persecute, but to protect and de
fend them. The interior depart
ment or the Nebraska authorities
