sell the bins in different territories,
taking notes in payment. The notes
were negotiated at the Bank of Spear

not what they had been Represented and
We're unsaleable. Payment of the notes
was therefore resisted. The bank

Mitchell. S. D., July 1.-THE notori-
GUS Jack Sully was brought here by
the sheriff of Lyman county. Doubt
less it will be some time before the cat
tie rustling cases will be heard in
Lyman county. It was the intention
Of Judge Smith to hear all the cases
at the special term of court recently
held in Oacoma. out the term was in
terrupted by the cattle rustIers spring.
Ing surprise on the court They filed
affidavits of prejudice against the
judge. and asked that new judge be
provided to hear the cases. They

a judge to hear the cases at that term,
but the judge also had a surprise ur
his sleeve for them, and instead Of Gall.
ing a fiew Judge in he simply Adjourned
the term and will provide another
judge when the next term of court is
held, which is not likely to occur fol
some tine yet,
The cattle owners are determined to
suppress cattle rustling on the reserva.
ton and the measures they have adopt
ed are already telling. Against Sully
there are five indictments, and more
are piling up against the others. This
adding of indictments has taken off
the air of independence that has hung
around the cattle rustlers as they look
the situation more squarely in the face.
and they realize that they are UP
against different proposition now
than in the past,

RECALLS SHADY DEAL.
Depositors in Burned Bank Get 36 Per

d
Huron, S. D., July 10.-The property
of the Hitchcock bank, destroyed by
fire about two years. ago, has been dis
posed Of by the trustees and a divi-
dend Of So per cent has been realized
for the benefit of depositors and credi-
tors. When the bank burned the safe
was supposed to contain $4,000 de-
posts, but when opened only about
500 was found. What became Of the
remainder of the money the public
never knew Ethereal Wilson, proprie-
tor Of the institution, promised to make
good all loss, but the property turned
over to the trustees was not sufficient
to meet the obligations, and it is prob
able that depositors will be compelled
to stand the loss. The affair was sur
rounded in mystery, and many believe
there was crooked work in the man
agement of the banks affairs and that
the money was not stolen as reported
by Mr.. Wilson.

corn, potatoes and grass. Showers
were we'll distributed, and in some To-
calities too heavy in amount On the
whole, the soil is generally amply
moist, but some limited areas need
more rain.
while there are some fields of bar

occurred on June q that are being cut
for hay because of the injury received.
on the whole small grains, especially
wheat, are in prosperous condition
Barley is generally in head, some al

beneficial to corn, the condition of

cially over the area affected by frost
on June q, where, although some new
fields have been replanted to a later
crop, general Improvement in condition
is noted. Where not frost affected, the
crop has made good progress, and in
the southern counties some fields have
been laid by; cultivation, however, has
been retarded in some limited localities
by frequent showers.
Potatoes have done we'll generally;
new home grown potatoes are coming
on the market, and the outlook FOR

the prospect for an abundant hay crop
continues very bright.

There is no report of Improvement
