AGAINST SCHLEY.
President Roossvelt's Decision Adverse To
Victor Of Santiago.


The Presidents response to the appeal
OF Rear-Admiia al w. S. Schley has been
made public.
Technically it is adverse TO both Ad-
miral Schley and Admiral w. +. Samp-
son, but il is hostile TO Admiral Schley
and friendly to Admiral Sampson, who is
given credit for the whole campaign,
though not alleged TO have been in COM
mand at the battle of Santiago.
Its most conspicuous characteristic :
are inconsistency. absence OF judicial
analysis. and disregard for the rules OF
justice. which discriminate between testi-
mony under oath and that which is a
mere expression OF opinion subject to the
coloring OF prejudice and seli-inlerest.
The President asserts that the Court of
Inquiry did substantial Justice" to Ad-
miral Schley. He holds that the Ad-
miral was not in command of the feet in
the Santiago battle, which he character
izes as captains fight. He sharply
criticises Admiral Schley for the Brook.
lyn's loop. The report is not consistent
with the evidence presented 10 the Court
of Inquiry.
The President also says there is no
excuse whatever from either side for any
fuIthes agitation OF this unhappy contro-
versy. To keep it alive would merely
do damage to the navy and TO the coun-
try.

BIG SHIPMENTS COMING.
Heavy Stocker Shipments to
This State and Montana.

One hundred and ten trainloads of
cattle, of thirty cars each, with
thirty feeders shouldering one
another in each car, or 100, head
of cattle, will whirl through Sioux
City, from Texas to the ranges of
South Dakota and Montana this
spring for the Milwaukee railroad,
according to the best present esti-
mate of Division Freight and Pas
senger Agent John D. Love in the
Sioux City Tribune.
This is in excess of the 400, 900
shipped north annually from Texas
to New Mexico.
One Sioux City firm is reported to
be planning to put 10000 head on
the ranges west Of the Missouri
river.
Some weeks ago it was reported
that the Milwaukee would put 5O,-
900 head west of Evarts, the ter
minus Of the extension from Bowdle,
in Edmunds county, to the river.
But this number is but part of the
total. Last year Is, 900 head were
shipped from Evarts. Two years
hence there will be 100, 900 fat cattle
to be marketed from the Dakota and
Montana ranges in excess Of the
normal of the past.
There have been shipped into the
northern and New Mexico ranges
from Texas during the last few
years some 100000 cattle annually.
The Milwaukee's 100000 for various
ranchmen will be in addition to the
normal.
Final arrangements for the ship
nents will be made at meeting OF
stockmen to be held in Fort Worth
in March. There will be at the
meeting ranchmen from all over the
southwest. The shipments will be
of one and two-yea ear olds and
they will be on the ranges two and
three winters before they will be fat
for market. The trainloads will be
sent north through Kansas City,
Council Bluffs and Sioux City.
There are some big ranches which
annually buy in the southwest from
1000 to 10000 cattle. Some OF
these are Scotty Phillips of Fort
Pierre; Eugene Holcomb of Rapid
City; the Western Ranches, It'd, Of
Belle Fourche; James Converse Of
Dickinson, N. D., and an Indian
firm, Narcisse & Edward Narcelle

Boundary Question.

The voters of Lawrence, Meads
and Pennington counties will decide
a boundary question at the election
next November, says the Sturgis
Press. The line is the north bound
ary of Pennington and the south
boundary of Lawrence and Meade
counties. 1t is at present 494 feet
north of the section line the entire
length of Pennington county, "a
miles. Lawrence county is affected
by about 30 miles, with go acres at
stake, and Meade county has 108
acres involved, with miles OF the
line to be determined upon. A bill
was passed by the last session of the
legislature to submit the ques ,ioI of
changing the county line to the sec
tion line. Representatives from
Pennington county wanted the line
moved about four miles north to a
township line, but the bill introduc.
ed by Representative Peterson OF
Lawrence county carried. A great
many farmers and others own pro.
perty lying across the county line
and they are assessed in two coun.
ties. 1t is for the relief of these
people that the question is to be
brought up at the polls this coming
fall.

Stamp Mills For Mines at Rockford.

Stamp Mills For Mines ut Rockford.
A twenty stamp mill has been or.
dered for the Cochran mine, in Pen
nington county, which vas purchas.
ed few weeks ago by Charles Rob
erts and G. S. Gates of Chicago.
There is at present thlrty-ton
Huntington quartz mill on the pro-
perty, and the purchasers intend to
start it up as soon as they can get
water. They expect to do this by
sinking. The little mill will then be
operated until the stamp mill is
ready to run. 1t is believed that the
water sufficient for stamp mill of
forty to sixty stamps can be obtain
ed by sinking and prosecuting on
bed rock. If the supply is not ade-
quate water will be brought in
from Castle creek or some of it's
tributaries, which could be done at
nominal expense. 1t is reported
that the real purchaser of the Coch-
ran group is the American Mining
company, for whom it is said Messrs.
Roberts and Gates are acting.
A ten tamp mill has been pur-
chased by the Castle Creek Gold
Mining company, owner Of the
Wheeler Hill group, also in Penning-
county, near Rockford. The com
pany has an abundance of ore in
sight, and expects to keep a stamp
mill well supplied. 1t is expected
| that there will be some delay in the
arrival of the machinery, owing to
the big orders that the mining ma
chinery houses are handling.

Two Views on Christian Science.

Down at Sioux City the other day,
in the course of a discussion OF
Christian Science, Rev. Geo. A. Fair
Of the First Baptist church express
ed himself as follows:
'We have much to learn from the
false 'isms' of the day. l bt lieve the
church has lost chord. 1t has some.
how been sidetracked. read no place
tn the bible where it says the power to
heal the sick has been taken away
from the church, JESUS Christ went
about teaching, preaching and healing;
we 60 about teaching and preaching.
or course, we say science has stepped
In TO do the healing part.
"Christian Science. however, teaches
differently. think majority of these
religions are false, but there is little
truth in them, and I belive God is
trying to teach US something through
them. Through these extravagant and
often outrageous beliefs be is trying to
make us learn. Why on earth can't
we do today as they did of old?"
DR., R. ". McKaig of the First
Methodist church asked that he be
allowed little time to discuss the
train Of thought suggested by Rev.
M. Fair.
OIL do not think Christian Science
people are teaching a school that we
Christians ought to attend. This form
of belief is the result of neglect on the
part of the church, and of that ] am
sure. do not: however, think there
is one lOta of truth in it. 1t makes no
effort to win church members. There
is not q revealed doctrine OF
the Christian religion it does not deny.
1t denies the personality of God, the
reality of sin, and is false from top to
bottom. know hundreds of church
members in the larger cities of the
country, such as Omaha, Lincoln and
Minneapolis, who have left the M etho-
dist, the Presbyterian and the Baptist
churches to join this religion. and they
have every one Of them lost their tes.
timony for Jesus. They quit praying
in public, leave off family worship and
only pray the little prayer written by
Mrs. Eddy. believe Christian
Science is a counterfeit Of the devil Of
| the Lords power to heal the sick"

DESERTER AND MURDERER.
Fort Meade Deserter. Must
Answer for His Crimes.

Several months ago there was
considerable talk at Ft. Meade and
Stllrgis over the desertion Of Private
Walter Gordon, troop K, 18th Cav
airy, and the subsequent ldevelop
ments have emphasized the suspi-
cion advanced at the time that the
man was criminal, says the Sturgis
Press.
The morning of the night he de,
serted, cards were received at the
postoffice giving description Of
one Walter Gordon, wanted at Win
nipeg, Manitoba, for the foul muir
der of two men and offering a re-
ward of $1,000 for his apprehension.
Several of the members of his troop
seemed to be struck with the des-
cription and name. They laughing
ly suggested to Gordon that he was
wanted in Canada for killing a
couple OF men. 1t seems he went to
the post Office to satisfy himself and
from there left the post and nothing
had been heard Of him until the ar.
rival in Sturgis of Marshal Elliott,
of Winnipeg.
Mr.. Elliott was here after wit
nesses and it is now learned that
Sergeant Russel, of M troop, Private
Seares and the first cook of the troop,
are the ones who have followed up
Gordon after communicating with
Mr.. Elliott by some clever detective
work, aided by a lady in the east,
with whom Gordon had been cores
ponding, found that he was about tC
enlist in Halifax, N. S., and immedi.
atey wired the marshal of the fact.
Mr.. Elliott hastened to Hall AK and
arrested Gordon, who had enlisted
under the name ofGray, and brought
him back to Winnipeg.
Sergeant Russell, Private Seares
and the chief cook of K troop, are
to oe subpoenaed as witnesses and
we understand will receive : the
greater portion, if not all, of $1,000
offered for Gordon's apprehension,
as Mr.. Elliott coucedes that the three
men mentioned are deserving of The
entire credit due to locating and ar.
resting the murderer.
Mr.. Elliott was at the Post last
Friday interview ing and arranging
for the appearance of Serg. Russell
Privale Seares and the cook, at the
!. trial of Gordon. He says the evi
dence against Gordon is overwhelm

There have been number of i'm
portant transfers in the farm land
