INDIANS PLAYED UPON.
Were Tools of Chicago Attorney
''fCr Revenue Only"
SncciaI to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Jan. Cit was
announced a short time ago that some
of the Sioux Indians living on the Rose
bud reservation were protesting against
the proposed opening to white settlement
of aboutT416,C0O acers of Their reserva-
tiCn situated in Gregory county, in the
central portion of South Dakota. A
treaty was negotiated with the Indians
by Inspector Mclaughlin, of the Indian
bureau, last summer. The price to be
paid the Indians for the land was $3.50
per acre. The object of the small fac
ton of Indians who protested against
the sale of the land at this price was
to secure a larger sum per acre from
the government. 1t has now been ascer-
tanned that the protesting Indians were
simply the tools of a Chicago attorney,
who made them believe that if they
protested he would procure a higher price
from the government and take his pay
in a percentage of the increased price
expected to be received. Since the true
Inwardnss of the Indians objections was
learned opposition to the treaty on the
part of the Indians has almost entirely
ceased, and there is now no doubt that
1t will be ratified by the United States
senate in it's present form. The treaty
has been favOrably acted upon by the
senate committee on Indian affairs, and
viii probably become a part of the In
dian appropriation bill to be passed dur
ing the present session. Then all that
would remain to be done would be the
proclamation of President Roosevelt de-
caring the land a part of the public do
main and fixing a date and method for
It's formal opening to white settlement.
The land to be opened is among the
finest in the West. Parties who are IA
miliar with practically every foot of it
say the soil is of the richest, and that
il is well watered by streams and springs.

Says University May Have Bulge ON
Board of Control
SpecinI TO The Globe

WINONA, Jan. 6.-Judge o. B. Could

Winona today. When asked as to the
policy of the board of control regarding
the normal school, of which, according
to the recent decision of the supreme
court, they have supervision, he sai1 that
while the board had not yet outlined it's
policy of procedure, he thought it would
be perfectly proper to say that the board
would encourage the normal sen lis in
every proper way, but it would be neces-
sary that the system of doing business
be uniform over all the institutions, sub
ject to the board of control. Asked
whether the board of control would now
seek to obtain control of the state uni
versity, Judge Gould quoted section Is
of the board of control act, which espe-
cially confers the power of financial con-
troll Of the university on the board. Com
menting on this the judge said that if it
was competent for the legislature to pass
this act, regulating the financial manage
ment Of the university, this law would
seem to apply; but by reason of the fact
constituted a body polite, with the rights
and powers of corporation, the legsla-
ture might have no control Of their finan-
cial affairs; that is, they might have
vested rights, which could not be inter-
fered with by the legislature. If this were
so, the board of control act would have
no effect as TO the university. The board
has not taken up this matter since the
supreme court decision was rendered. In
conclusion, Judge Gould said ne had been

SIOUX FALLS S. D., Jan. 6.-Will the
estate of John Mcclellan. a Sioux Falls
pioneer; finally go to the State of South
Dakota, is a question which is being ask
ed with a great deal of anxiety by va
rious claimants, who for nearly two anu
a half years have been fighting for it's
possession Attorneys for the various
opposing claimants have not yet decided
upon what steps they will take in view
of the decision a few days ago of Judge
Campbell in refusing a new trial of the
case involving the ownership of the es-
tate Judge CambelPs original decision
was that none of the claimants are legal
heirs. The attorneys for one set of claim
ants are considering the advisability or
instituting suit in the United States court,
but other attorneys declare that this
cannot now be DONE and that the only
thing to do is to appeal the present case
to the state supreme court. If this is
done, and the supreme court affirms the
decision of Judge Campbell, it looks as
if the estate would go to the state.

mental mine in Idaho, which is controlled

The Continental mine, on Boundary
creek, twenty two miles from Tort Hill
and three miles from the Cana
dian line, will undoubtedly be de-
veloped into one of the greatest lead
producing mines in the world. The prop
erty was sold not long ago to Duluth
men, Roberts & Bailey, who are pTepar-
ing to work it on a large scale.
when I was up there recently Rob
erts & Bailey had a force CT $50 men
at work on a wagon road from the mine
to Port Fill, the nearest point on the
railroad. Since l have returned 1 learn
that the road has been completed, and
now work will be pushed on the mine
itself. Nothing could be done on large
scale until the road had been completed,
for it was impossible to transport ore
in quantity from the mine or to take
supplies to it,
The property is silver-lead propo-
sition. 1t has the biggest outcrop of ore
L ever saw. 1t is about forty feet wide,
and runs almost without break the
length of three claims. The ore carries
half an ounce of silver to per cent of

WEST UNION, Iowa, Jan. Gas the
result of a terrible tragedy caused by
insane jealousy, Miss Rose Falb, an es-
Unable young lady Of this city, is dead,
shot by Henry NJ. Nef, her rejected
lover. who also shot and wounded En-
met Sullivan, rival for the woman S
affection, and then killed himself No
tragedy so appalling has ever happened
in the history of this city, and intense
excitement prevails.
p For some years Mr.. Neff and Miss Falo
have been keeping company. and have
been engaged. The wedding day had been
set several times, but for some reason
the marriage was regularly put off by
Mr. Neff. Finally the girl tired of this,
and several weeks ago she told him that
it was all up between them. In the mean
time she had been receiving atten ton
from Mr.. Sullivan.
A few moments after o'clock Mr.. Neff
came from his rooms in the Siam block,
greeted Night Watch Colburn and walk
ed directly north to the hotel. He enter
ed the east door and went up the pacn
stairs to Miss Falb's room. Here lie
found Mr.. Sullivan and Miss Falb. Sui
Ivan attempted to keep the door closed,
but Neff forced it open, grabbed Sullivan
by the collar, pushed his revolver into
his face and fired. The ball entered one

Mr.. Sullivan broke away from him and
ran down stairs, the blood gushing from
his wound in streams. The hotel people
and others heard the first shot and start
ed up stairs, meeting Mr.. Sullivan COM
ing down. Before they could reach Miss
FaIb's room several more shots were
heard, and when Clerk Otley entered her
room she was found stretched on the
floor covered with blood.
Mr.. Neff was seen on his way to the
of the office stairs to go to Miss Falb' $
room He went directly to his rooms,
took off his Overcoat and hat, threw the
five empty shells from his gun, reloaded
the weapon, placed it against his temple,
pulled the trigger and dropped dead.
Several young men were in the Wind
sOr club adjoining, and heard the shot.
They went to his door and raped several
times, getting no response. After repeat
ed efforts Lock Burnham and Ed Thomas
broke in the door, and Mr.. Neff's body
was found partly on the bed and partly
on the floor.
Miss Falb had one bullet almost in the
center of her forehead, another in or
behind the ear and the third in her right
breast. She never regained conscious
ness, dying at 1890 this morning.
No cause is assigned for the dreadful
deed except insane jealousy. Mr.. Neff
