Toads Found In Rocks.

Amazing" said a scientist, sis the
popularity Of the belief that toads live
for long spaces Of time in rocks. Only
last week a quarryman sent to me a
toad that he had found imbedded, he
std, in a solid block of stone. OF course
there is no truth in the idea that these
reptiles can exist shut up for years
without food and air. but there is truth
in the stories of their being found in
rocks. The rocks, though, are not sol
i'd, as the finders incline to think, and
the, toads have only been in them, it
is probable, for a few hours instead
of for years and years. Toads, you see,
take naturally to sequestered places
to cliffs in rocks OF trees. A quarry
man or a lumberman breaks into a
rock or a tree, finds q live toad Inn
bedded and thinks the reptile has been
there since time began. AS q matter
Of fact the toad has but recently
crawled there through a little passage
Of some sort, but the passage is SC
well concealed that the eyes Of the
man have failed to disclose Il. ,s-Phila,

Widows Ellie on Land.

--N.ar. 81
At Pierre last week about fifteen
filings were made on land by soldiers
widows, being those of a party who
came out from Iowa and Minnesota
towns and filed together. The land
laws allow soldiers widows to file on
government lands and secure title
without residence, and in final proof
they are allowed the time of service
of their deceased husbands as a por-
ton of the five years time required
to secure title. All that is required
of them is the filing, improvement
and final proof. In the case of the
widows who filed this week, an agree
ment was made between them and
cattle who desire the land by
which grazing privilege on their
homesteads is allowed in return for
the placing cen the same the improve
ments required by the government.

SOUTH DAKOTA NEWS
Crowded OF the Ranas.

Harris Franklin & Co., the heaviest
owners of cattle on the Northwestern
range at Belle Fourche, are going to
ness, owing to the congested condi-
ton of the range. Harris Franklin of
Deadwood, general manager, says ev-
erything fit for market will be ship
ped this year for beef, and the re-
mainder will be sent down into Ne
braska where the company is acquir-
ing a large tract of land, intending
to conduct it's business in the future
by %pasturing during summer and
feeding during the severe winter
storms. Next year will see tie last
of the company's thousands of cattle
on these ranges moved out.
The reason for this is that the
country is filing with small cattle
owners, sheep men and farmers.
These men are fencing their land,
cutting off much of the water, and it
is claimed that much loss is suffered
by range cattle, owing to being
chased and driven by the dogs and
hired men of the farmers and others,
SO that between them and the wolves
the profit is greatly reduced.
Old Chief Dead.
Information has been received of
the death at his home near the Ponca
subagency, on the Rosebud reserva
ton, of a venerable Indian named
Milk, who was one of the most promi-
nent chiefs of the Brule Sioux tribe,
Chief Milk was always a strong friend
of the government, and during the
struggles between the whites and In.
dams for possession of the frontier.
always advised harmony between his
people ana the whites. He will be
succeeded as leader of his band by his
son, Good Kane Milk. The latter AND
a brother are known in Sioux Falls
having been witnesses in the cast Of
George Bear, a Brule Sioux Indiar
who was hanged in this city, Dec.
last, for the murder of c. Edward
Taylor, a government employee a
Ponca subagency. The two young In
dians were with Taylor when he wa!
killed, and were therefore importan
witnesses for the government.
