TOLD ONLY ONE SIDE.
Further Facts Concerning Case of
Destitute Woman.
From Sundays Daily Gazette.

From Sundays Daily Gazette.
The other side of the touching story
published in a local, newspaper a few
lays ago concerning the alleged desti-
tute and neglected oma the mother
OF two twins" little babies, and in
which a touching appeal was made for
assistance, remains to be told. y
County Clerk Carwile, who is ia
mlllar with the circumstances, told
the Gazette yesterday that while the
Wonan, Mrs. HARRISON, was really
destitute, she was not neglected, as
the county had cared for her for a
year or more and was caring for her
now. Not only is she provided with
tuel, provisions and other necessaries.
but the county also for a considerable
time paid the rent of the house she is
occupying, and as far as public charity
can provide for her she is suffering for
nothing.
A short time ago it was reported to
the chairman of the board Of county
commissioners that the woman had
two able bodied brothers, who instead
of caring for her had made their boast
that they had a "snap" in the gener-
osity of the county and did not have
to work for their support, as they re-
ceived all they needed from the pub
The report having been made by
several reputable and reliable chi
zens, the board instructed Mr.. Car
vile to issue no more relief to the
woman. as it was the duty of her two
husky brothers to provide for her
Mr.. Carwile SO notified her and about
ten days ago she renewed her appeal
for assistance, saying she was abso-
lutely destitute and without anything
to eat. Mr.. Parker, chairman of the
board, visited her home and found that
she was as she had represented her.
self and seeing no traces of the broth
ers. he instructed MI. Carwile to
again issue relief to her and she is
once more a beneficiary Of public
bounty.
1t is still believed that the brothers
are sharers in that bounty, but until
positive proof is obtained the relief
given her will not be withheld.

'DeadWcod' coach. The one famous
in the local history of the Black Hills
and about which the most has been
written was the old treasure coach,
the one in which all the gold, bullion
and other valuables shipped out of
the Hills was carried to the railroad.
1t was a heavy, ironclad affair, that
Gilmer & Salisbury owned. 1t never
left The Hills after it was discarded
when that firm retired from business,
which was in 1882. The old horse
killer was hauled under a shed at
Rapid City and there it stood when I
last saw it. in 1887, as nobody cared
for it. The company which succeed
ed Gilmer & Salisbury in carry
ing the treasure used one OF us ordi-
nary stages on the dates that valuable
shipments were made, which was
twice a month. the messengers pre-
ferring one of those to the movable

SCHOOL MONEY DIVIDED.
Contribution of State to Cause of Ed
ucation.

In accordance with an order O, the
state a of land commissioners the
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton has made an apportionment of
the school funds. The sum set aside
by the board from the school income
fund is $13S,906 and the amount per
capita for each child of school age in
the state is 1925, an increase of 40
cents per head on the regular appor,
tlonment made last year, notwith-
standing that there are 5000 more
children than there we're then. Last
year, however, the total per capita
was larger, as the 100000 contributed
by the exposure made in the legisla-
ture in connection with the senatorial
scandal of two years ago was added
to the money apportioned. This
brought the amount per head to S2.37.
The increased revenue from the school
lands has brought this years total
to within IL cents of that amount.
According to a table prepared by
the superintendent there are 81, 1856
children of school age in the state this
year and the total amount of the non
ey to be apportioned among them is
$~138,SS57.25. Yellowstone county's
share is 3d. 6O.5O, and is credited with
1.63S children.

GOSPEL OF IRRIGATION.
HE TELLS ABOUT MONTANA
Shows .Gcphers How They Will Be
Benefited BY Success of
Movement.

George H. Maxwell, executive chair
man of the National Irrigation asso-
citation, addressed the Commercial
club this afternoon on the irrigation
movement, says the Minneapolis Jour-
nal. Mr.. Maxwell has been identified
with it for several years. He has ad.
dressed business bodies in every sec
ton of the country and following his
present trip through the west intends
to go to Washington to assist in push
ing irrigation legislation.
The secretary of the interior in his
last report recommended that o n
gress make appropriations for several
irrigation schemes. One of these was
the turning of the waters of St. Mary's
lake region in the headwaters of the
Milk river to be used in irrigating a
large tract in northern Montana. An
other was for %irrigating a large sec
tion in Arizona. 1t is these PROPOSE
tons that the National Irrigation as

through rather than the passage of
any general bill. The northwest is
interested in the Montana scheme for
which So. 100000 is asked. Mr.. Max
well said in part:
1--WE cannot succeed without the CO.
operation of the east. The west has
but one-tenth of the membership of
the house. The western business men
can arouse the active interest of the
eastern people by showing them that
it is to their interest to have these
lands peopled. Our association de-
sires to get the business men of both
sections to work in harmony on the
proposition. The settlement of the
arid regions will increase internal
commerce and multiply the %opportun,
tiles of eastern manufacturers and
business men. Realizing this fact,
many eastern business men have join
ed the association.
THE fundamental principle upon
which the association is based is that
the lands for which water is provided
by government irrigation systems
snail be reserved for actual settlers
only, and that the lands reclaimed
snail pay to the government the ex-
pense of installing the irrigation sys-
tens. The association stands upon
the recommendation in the presidents

rtary of the interior"
Mr.. Maxwell said there were about
100000 acres of arid land in the st.
Mary's lake region in Montana. wait
ing for water to make them produc-
tive. Properly irrigated, these lands
would be worth 5000. 900 and would
be capable of raising crops to the
value of $4,000, 900. Every inch of
this territory would be tributary to
Minneapolis. The merchants of this
city would sell a large amount of the
supplies to be used in this new terri
tory, as well as the material used in
the construction Of the canals. If the
waters of Montana We're used for IT.
Tigation, 10000, 900 acres of arid land
could be reclaimed. This would mean
more homes for industrious people
and a big increase in northwestern
trade. Mr.. Maxwell pointed out that
he only successful plan would be to
reserve the land for actual settlers.
