WILL GET LONG SENTENCES.
Aberdeen Convicts Won't Get Mini
mum Time Either.

Aberdeen, S. D., Dec. s.-Andrews,
the pal of Tom Burns, was found guilty
Of highway robbery, the jury being out
fifteen minutes. In Burns case the
jury returned Its verdict Of guilty in
fourteen minutes. The minimum pen
atty for highway robbery in South Da-
kota is ten years, and it is believed
that Judge Mccoy will make the SEN
tence more severe, as the men shot and
wounded one of their victims after rob-
bling him.
The interesting e~mbezzlement case,
in which j. +. Geeslin, formerly agent
for the Farmers Elevator company of
James, is accused Of ernbezzlement, is
now on trial. Geeslin disappeared
some three years ago and it was al
legged that he took with him $2,700 be-
longing to the company. He reap
peared here last spring and was ar
rested, His defense is that he lost
the money specializing in wheat upon
orders of certain officers Of the COM
pany. This is the second trial, the
jury disagreeing on the first. trial.

Although the Indian admitted he
killed Shaw and Tayloe, a plea of not
guilty was entered at his trial before
Judge Garland of the federal court at
Sioux Falls. An effort was made to
show that he shot Shaw in self-defense,
but the theory fell fiat, and as there
were no extenuating circumstances in
the case Of the murder Of Tayloe, the
jury brought in a verdict recomemnd-
ing the death penalty, which was i'm
posed.
Bear appeared we'll satisfied with the
verdict and carried himself with an air
Of bravado for a day or SO after he was
sentenced to hang. Prior to this, how
ever, he had been badly frightened by
Allen Walking Shield, the murderer of
Mrs. Ghost Faced Bear, who occupied
a cell next to him in the Minnehaha
county Jail.
Fiend Tantalizes Fiend.
Shield took q fiendish delight in teasing
Bear, whom he regarded as a heartless
wretch who had wantonly killed two men,
while he, Shield, had killed only a squaw.
The night before Shield was hanged he
talked with Bear and worked him into a
fine frenzy by painting the horrors OF
death by the rope.
After Walking Shield was hanged Bear
asked Judge Garland to set an early date

pense would weaken his determination to
die game. Then he became religious. He
was an Episcopalian and several times a
clergyman of that faith visited him. The
Salvation army often held meetings at
the Jail and Bear joined with ferver in
the services He apparently became re-
pentant and when he made his will he
gave a half section of land to his wife
and requested that in the event of her
death the nrOnartE revert to John Shaw.
jr., the son of the man whom he had muir
dered.
1t is said Bear had the greatest respect
for the wife of Shaw and she in turn
evidently regarded him quite highly, al
though he had wantonly killed her hus-
band. 1t IS related that a day or two
after the trial at Sioux Falls, where shs
had appeared as a witness against him.
the woman came to the jail and gave
Bear $40.
A Lovely Present.
Take this money and buy yourself a
nice suit to be hanged in; goodby," she
said in farewell.
Bear appeared much affected by this in
cident and it is likely this had something
to do with his willing his property to the
son of Shaw.
George Bear was "a years of age, about
6 feet tall, well formed and an Indian Of
good appearance. Old pioneers say the
murdered bore a striking resemblance both
In personal appearance and in character
istics to Brave Bear, a famous Indian
desperate who was hanged at Yankton
during the territorial days.
r. w. Parliman, Bears attorney, cir
culated a petition and sent it to President
Roosevelt asking the sentence be COM
muted to life imprisonment. The request
was refused.

E MORE MONEY.
Tho Food and Dairy Commissioners l.
Greatly Hammered. ISL :

% r VII. p
Huron, S. D., Dec. 8.-According to
the statements made by Hon. c. P.
Sherwood, food and dairy commissioner
for South Dakota, the business of his
office is more or less hampered because
of a lack of funds to carry on the work.
The hope Is expressed that the legisla-
ture this winter will be more liberal
and make an appropriation sufficient to
meet at least the more urgent demands
of the office. So far much has been done
for the betterment of the foods put up
on the markets of the state, and some Of
the rankest authorizations have been
discovered and the goods forced out Of
/ market.
Mr.. Sherwood says there is not
enough money appropriated by the
state for the department to get the
maximum amount Of good out Of the
situation. Were there a sufficient ex-
pense fund Mr.. Sherwood would have
a man constantly or the road in in
spection work of each God and dairy
product. There should be a fund for
farmers institute work, an appropria-
ton of $500 for a winter institute.
j. H. Hubbard is assistant commits
sioner, and he and Mr.. Sherwood are
on the o a as much as the expense
accoun will allow. They visit the
grocery stores, and when an off-color
manufacture or preparation is found
the seller and manufacturer are noti-
fed. Stuff is SEN to Bookings for
analysis, but there should be a chemist
in connection with the department. In
the same line of inspection the state
of Minnesota employs three chemists.
and the pure food department a an
expense fund of SEE, 1000 per annum to
draw on.
Manufacturers now recognize in the
business two classes Of states-"food
states and the other. They send out
a better quality of the same manufac-
tured article to the foo states. 1t Is
conceded that we get a better quality
Of the same article.
The state dairy meeting this winter
will be held in Aberdeen-about Febru-
airy land will be held in conjunction
with the North Dakota people, who will
come dow over the line and join the
South Dakota buttermakers.
John Armstrong of DeSmet, and M.
f. Greeley are now doing farmers in
stitute In North Dakota, which state
has been more liberal in providing for
the expense of these gatherings than
has this state, which can much better
afford the outlay. u

Der s last of John Shaw, his %stepson,
and c. Edward Tayloe, a white man
who occupied the position of a school
teacher n additional government
farmer at the Ponca sub-agency on
h Rosebud reservation.
The bravery exhibited by Walking
Shield, the Indian Who was hanged
here on October "a last, was surpassed
BY the nerve displayed by Bear. While
the rope and black cap were being ad-
justed. Bear did not exhibit the slight
est symptom of. feeling or fear. Not
even a CULVER shook his form.
He was brought to the galloWs at
SOP, the trap was then sprung a min
ute later, and at 9:16, fourteen minutes
afterward. he was officially pronounced
dead.
Rev. William Holmes, the native
Episcopal preacher at Santee agency,
Nebraska, accompanied him to the gal
lows, and while the black cap and rope
We're being adjusted repeated in low
tones to the condemned indian an APP
propriate portion Of the Episcopal, SER

Last night Rev. Mr.. Holmes visited
Bear in the county Jail, and remained
with him for a time. At 1850 last
night Bear retired and slept until about
6:10 this morning. He vas perfectly
composed until the last. .
The body of Bear left at noon in
charge Of Rev. Mr.. Holmes, who will
accompany it to his old home, where
interment will be made in the Ponca

HON RULING.
Settlers Must Have Surveys Made of
Claims in Forest Reserve.

Lead, S. D., Dec. 6.-The surveyor
general of South Dakota, +. A. Nor
ris, is out in a circular letter enjoining
homesteaders within the United forest
reserves Of the Black Hills that they
have only sixteen months left in which
to have met as and bounds surveys made
Of their lands and triplicate plats filed
with the local land Office before they
can enter their lands. The act of March
3, 1899, provides hal homesteaders
within the Black His reserve who
made settlement prior to September 10.
1898, and who could not embrace their
improvements by entries according to
the annual subdivisions, might secure
a. metes and bounds surve for that
purpose under certain regulations. A
settler who cannot secure rights under
the act that he is entitled to cannot
obtain consideration in n other way
than through the Office of the surveyor
general. The act of April 5, 1902, pro-
.vided for an extension of time within
which homesteaders on the reserve may
file their claims in the local LAND office
to April S. 1904.

MINERS WANT PROTECTION.
Legislature Will Be Asked to Confer
More Power on tpsnector

More Power on Inspector.
Lead, S.. D., Dec. 9.-The coming leg
islature will be asked to pass laws pro-
viding for greater safety for miners
employed under ground and giving the
inspector of mines power to enforce the
laws. Numerous accidents have oc-
CURED, due to the failure of mining
companies to provide proper safe
guards. 1t Is the duty of the Inspector
OF mines to visit and examine all mine
workings and where he observes negli-
gence that threatens to cause loss of
life or injury, to call it to the attention
or the management and request that it
be remedied. He has no authority to
compel a compliance with his request.
There is now a movement under way
among the miners to ask the legislature
to provide the inspector with power to
enforce reasonable regulations for their
security. One of the principal sources
of danger at present is the practice,
common In a majority Of the mines, of
leaving deep shafts open from top to
bottom. Nearly every shaft is provided
with a ladder, for use in case of the
disabling of the hosting machinery. In
the majority of cases the ladders do
not have a landing from top 10 bottom,
entailing a straight climb If several
hundred feet. If a miner is overcome
when part way up or the ladder gives
way with him he drops to his death.
Careful practice requires that landings
be built at each twelve feet. This makes
climbing much easier and more secure
