John Ruskin, the celebrated art critic
and poet, died in London Saturday
afternoon of influenza, aged 81. When
a school boy, Ruskin was directed by
his teacher to describe, in his own Ian
guage Christ's first miracle, and soon
presented the story in the following
beautiful words:
The conscious water saw It's Lord and
blushed."
From that time on his genius con-
tinued to expand until he became one
of the greatest literary men Of his
time.

IMPORTANT Lawsuit.

A Sioux Falls special says: A
suit that will be watched with inter-
est not only by army contractors in
South Dakota, but by those in other
states as well, has just been institut-
ed in the United States court here
in accordance with instructions from
the was department. in Washington.
Abe Jones. of Whitewood, s. D.,
and his bondsmen, Charles Francis
and John Monheim, Of Sturgis, are
the defendants. The suit is based
upon Jones' failure to comply with
the terms of q contract to supply
the quartermastar's department at
Fort Meade with fifty-three artillery
horses. 1t is probable that Jones
will institute q counter suit against
the government for the recovery of
the sum Of $1,000 which he alleges
he expended in endeavoring to com.
ply with the terms of his contract.
The contract is dated May 49,, 1900.
A bond Of $4,000, with himself as
principal and Francis and Monheim
as sureties, was furnished the gov
eminent.
Animals Of certain size and
weights were called for by the goy-
ernment. A board Of inspectors
from the Office Of Major Hathaway,
quarrermaster of the United States
army at Omaha, went to Sturgis to

A report from Cheyenne, Wyo.
says: Wolves on the Tisdale ranch,
central Wyoming, have killed this
season fifty-one head of calves and
nine yearlings. The wolves run in
lunches of ten to twenty. One
white wolf succeeded in killing
twelve calves in as many nights,
but wat finally captured. The
ranch people keep wolf hunter on
duty all the time, He has over 100
traps set, scattered over the SUR
rounding range. Hiscaptures this
year amount to thirty-tive wolves.
Coyotes he doesn't pay any atten-
tion to.

This winter there are something
like $4,000 head Of white mems cat
tie that are being wintered on the
Rosebud Indian agency, a permit
having been granted by the secre-
tally Of the interior. The cattle will
be permitted to remain on this
range until spring, the price per
head being SO cents, which will go
to the indians. The feed on the
Rosebud agency is said to be better
than either the cattle ranges to the
north and west or Pine Ridge agen,
cy, to the east. There was rain on
Rosebud agency all summer, while
the Pine Ridge agency was stricken
with drought.

The meeting of the national live
stock association at Salt Lake in
January will see one OF the greatest
fights in the history Of the organiza.
tion if the predictions Of local cattle
men come true. The association is
divided on bill now before congress
to lease all the arid government
pastures of the west. The large
cattle interests almost without ex-
ception and some capitalists in the
east who are planning to buy up
large herds and fence vast tracts Of
land if the bill can be passed are
favoring the measure, while the lit
tie cattle men are against it to a
man. At the Denver meeting two
years ago the South Dakota delega-
tion with the exception OF Frank
Stewart Of Buffalo Gap, opposed a
resolution favoring the bill, but at
the Texas meeting last winter Stew
srt was the only one present and he
voted for the leasing bill. The fight,
is again on this year. Noah New
banks, chairman Of the Fort Pierre
Stock associations executive com
mittee, will call meeting of his as
sociation in few days to consider
sending lobby to Salt Lake to op-
pose the proposition to lease the gov.
ernment lands. Here is where the
struggle between the large and
small herdsmen really hinges. If
the bill can be passed through con-
gress the large herders will control
the field: lit fails they must ulti-
mately quit business, for tine range
is filing up with small herders who
take advantage Of the homestead law
and locate along the streams, cut
ting up the range and making the
running Of large bands of cattle i'm
practicable. Within the next few
years artesian wells are likely to be
as plentiful on the reservation as on
the east side Of the river. Then all.
the range will be utilized which now
goes to waste on account Of want Of
water and that part Of the state west

A peculiar disease has commenced
killing off cattle over the line in
Wyoming on some Of the ranges.
In many respects it resembles diph-
liberia in 9 human being. The
throat swells up and a mucous forms
in the throat and the animal dies of
strangulation. The disease is near
ly always fatal. The state veterin-
arian has been making an examina-
tion of the disease. He asserts that
it is new to the western ranges and
that it will be difficult to combat
with on account Of the place OF at
tack. 1t is believed that the disease
has been caused by the very warm

brought up in the case Of Jensen 70.
Petty, who are making q fight for
the Office OF sheriff OF Fall River
county. Jensen contends that the
registration laws were not observed
in all of the voting precincts Of the
county at the last election, and Pet
ty holds that the registration law
of 1899 is not in force; that it 10
limited to the year 1899, and that it
is unconstitutional it that IL pro-
vides that the assessor shall take
the registration in connection wiAh
making the regular assessment,
when in fact the law did not 20 into
effect until July, after the assessors
had done their work. The general
opinion Of Black Hills attorneys be.
fore election was that ths registra-
